Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali24 Sep 2024

It’s got loads of tech, a plush interior, a stupendous amount of torque, and a real-world range of well over 500km. Sounds too nice, right? Let’s find out what the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV is actually like.

2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Review

By Sagar Bhanushali21 May 2024

Here, we have the Audi Q8 e-tron, roughly three years after the original e-tron arrived in India as Audi India’s flagship EV. Essentially, it’s a facelift for the e-tron with a slightly new look, more range, and more features.

2017 Land Rover Discovery First Drive Review

By Sagar Bhanushali29 Nov 2017

Although a brilliant family car, the previous-gen Land Rover Discovery (the LR4) was underwhelming to drive and felt utterly old-school. The fast-evolving competition didn’t do it any favours either and with the buying trends changing significantly all the time, Land Rover has had to add to the Disco’s arsenal, while retaining all its practical attributes and off-road ability.
