MY LUV ALTO

The Legendary Alto is a damn good car. My father first bought an Alto lxi model of maroon colour and it literally ran till 2½ lakh kms nearly but the car met with an accident. After that my father again bought an alto 800 petrol manual which is still there it's been 4½ years nearly to the car and it ran 1 lakh kms+ and still counting. The car I think its value for money and its awesome.. Nearly 8-10 yrs I spent my life with THE Legendary Alto. ??I luv my present Alto lyk hell. Now m 18 yrs old and I learnt driving from Alto only. So its very much close to my heart... ????

Excellent service from renault madurai ringroad

Hyundai Exter First Drive Review

By Bilal Ahmed Firfiray17 Jul 2023

With the Exter, Hyundai has done its homework and has made the overall package quite difficult to overlook.

Change of guard

By Vikrant Singh13 Oct 2012

The old Alto is out and it is being replaced by a slightly modern looking, but more spacious and fuel efficient version. So how much better is it?

Hyundai Exter First Look

By Jay Shah10 Jul 2023

Hyundai has launched its smallest and most compact SUV in India. It’s called the Exter and this one slots below the Venue and is based on the brand’s entry-level hatchback, the Grand i10 Nios. The Exter is a petrol-only SUV with a CNG variant, is offered in seven variants and is a direct rival to the Tata Punch. Let’s take a closer look at it.
