If you walk into any off-road enthusiast group in India and mention the word “Hilux,” the reaction is almost religious. It’s not just a pickup truck; it’s a symbol of indestructibility. For years, the Toyota Hilux has been available here, but mostly as a high-priced CBU (Completely Built Unit) import. Now, with rumors swirling that … Read more
There’s a specific moment on the track, usually coming out of Turn 3 at Buddh International Circuit, where the noise of the world fades and all you hear is the engine.

I remember the first time I planned a long-distance tour on a scooter. It was 2019, and I was riding a humble 150cc machine from Mumbai to Pune.

It was a Mercedes A200. Gloss black, AMG line package, looking sharp under the Bavarian sun. For a second, … Read more
Honda’s lineup has always felt like a puzzle where the pieces almost fit, but not quite. You had the HR-V for the city crowd and the CR-V for the families needing space. But there was always a gap in the middle—a spot for buyers who wanted more style than the CR-V but more substance than … Read more
There are very few names in the Indian automotive dictionary that command instant respect. “Innova” is one of them. For over two decades, this badge has been synonymous with reliability, comfort, and bulletproof durability.
