BMW X1 - Great in all departments except performance

Performance - Creta /Seltos/XUV700 /Scorpio N have better performance than BMW X1. BMW killed the X1 by bringing engines to this. BMW! rethink your strategy. This is not expected from the BMW badge. Taigun/Kushaq 1.5 beat this X1 left and right!!.

2022 Audi Q7 Petrol 55TFSI First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre19 Jan 2022

Audi has played its game well in India with the Q7 being one of its highest-ranking cars, even outranking some rivals. This SUV has been lauded not only for its size and space but also for its on- and off-road performance. This time the carmaker has taken its latest version a notch higher with updated styling, design, and features. However, it comes only with a petrol drivetrain, unlike its predecessor's diesel counterpart. Despite lacking the frugal bit now, it sure is at par in terms of performance and capability. Rather superior, for what it brings to the table.
