More Expert Reviews on X3 M40i, XC90 and Q7

Volvo XC90 B6 Ultimate facelift — First Drive Review

By Ninad Ambre22 Sep 2022

Volvo's flagship SUV in India is this XC90. In its latest iteration, it gets some new features, some new exterior shades, but the design and styling remains the same. And this is particularly good, for it retains its mature demeanor with sheer elegance. Peculiar highlights like the Thor-hammer shaped DRLs and tall tail lamps continue to shine on a big SUV with neat proportions.

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.

Audi SQ7 Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh04 May 2016

This is a bright blue, technologically superior and bigger wheeled twin of what is already a delectable full-sized luxury SUV, the new Audi Q7. Okay, you can order the Audi SQ7 – yes, that's what it is called for it is faster as well – in more colours than just blue, but the SQ7 just looks brilliant in this colour.
