The Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 twins were revered as a common person’s fix for affordable performance when it was launched, though it didn’t have as much power as other similarly priced coupes. The four-cylinder boxer engine, rear-wheel-drive and manual gearbox made it popular among “new” enthusiasts. And now eight years into its life, there is a new and more powerful 2022 Subaru BRZ.
The MG ZS was the most value-packed crossover SUV in its segment when it debuted in the Middle East a few years ago. The model has now undergone a redesign and is also available in ZST form with a new turbo engine option. We check out the 2021 MG ZST that comes with a premium new look on the outside, and attractive premium trim on the inside.
Word was that Hyundai’s N division was cooking up sub-compact hot hatch. Now it is finally here — it’s the 2021 Hyundai i20 N, and it comes with 204 hp.
Emerging markets like India love small vehicles, given the tax benefits provided to cars shorter than 4 metres. Thus the “Compact SUV” market in India is flooded with pint-sized SUVs like the Hyundai Venue and Kia Sonet. Now, Nissan has jumped into this segment with the Nissan Magnite, the brand’s smallest SUV.
Here is the list of all major recalls announced around the globe in the past month.
Hyundai’s luxury arm, Genesis, is undertaking a complete portfolio overhaul that included the recently launched G80 and G70 sedans, along with their first SUV, the GV80. Now they’re adding a second SUV to the lineup, the smaller 2022 Genesis GV70. The GV70 flaunts their new signature design language whilst adding its own twist to the looks.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross created a stir when the crossover was launched with the name of the legendary sports car on it. The world seems to have forgotten the rage though, as the Eclipse Cross is still around, rounding out Mitsubishi’s SUV-heavy line-up. Now there is a 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross that improves on the ho-hum original.
The Honda Accord carries on in a segment that is slowly dying out in the face of increasing crossover sales. The 2021 Accord comes with negligible design updates and a bit more tech in an effort to prop up sales.
Here is the list of recalls that were sent out globally in the month of September 2020.
Due to the pandemic, every car dealer around is claiming that you can buy or service your car while sitting at home, without actually giving any real details about whether you can actually buy a car with a 100% credit card payment or if they will come service your car for free under your house. We recently did multiple runs to the Mopar service centre due to never-ending warranty issues and there was no sign of any such home service. Then we caught wind of a Facebook ad by the Nissan dealer, advertising “free Thursday pick and drop” service, so we decided to try that out because we absolutely hate wasting time on car servicing.
