Rivian owners’ quality and service nightmare is revealed
A R1T and R1 boss said he is considering withdrawing from Rivian ownership after his experience. He has no problem, but two R1Ts, including one that Rivian bought from him. This case is a great example of how a brand can sometimes have several entanglements to be solved. A “long-term Rivian client approaches giving up” is how the owner of this story center describes themselves. Honestly, no one wants to do this after buying a car, especially if it isn't a luxury car, starting at $70,000, which can easily climb to over $100,000. But after making multiple purchases from Rivian, that's the reality for this particular customer. This is their story--and of course, it's one worth mentioning. Online forums are often filled with various comments, but few people write over 1,600 words about their personal experiences. Nevertheless, this is exactly what the user recently named PortDirect in Rivianforums. Their post was partly titled “Why do I do this to myself”…

Ford 6F35 transmission class action lawsuit dismissed
This is not a class action lawsuit, but the Ford 6F35 transmission is allegedly defective. December 24, 2024 — Ford transmission 'massive' lawsuit ends after litigation that usually doesn't happen in court. The Ford 6F35 Transmission Mass Action alleges that 2010-2020 Ford Fusion and 2009-2021 Ford Escape vehicles are defective because of a defective transmission. According to the judge hearing the case, this is not a typical class action lawsuit because of the way the plaintiffs filed their complaint. Whether you call this a Ford 6F35 transmission class action lawsuit or a transmission class action lawsuit, the argument regarding the alleged defect remains the same. The lawsuit accuses Ford of "illegally inducing" consumers to buy the Ford Fusion and Ford Escape 6F35 vehicles by concealing transmission problems with the vehicles. The customer would then have to purchase a vehicle with reduced value and expensive repairs due to the transmission. According to the Ford 6F35 transmission lawsuit, owners claim Ford Fusions…
Ford to name new quality chief to reduce recalls
Ford has had 62 recalls so far this year, with second-quarter warranty costs up $800 million from 2023 go through Brad Anderson December 19, 2024 08:33 Ford may once again take the wooden spoon and become the U.S. automaker with the most recalls. CEO Jim Farley has led efforts to improve quality and change manufacturing practices. The company was fined $165 million for failing to recall 620,000 vehicles in a timely manner. Ford is coming off another recall-filled year and will name a new quality chief to try to get things under control. The new leader will succeed Jim Baumbick, who will now oversee Ford's entire vehicle program team, including electric vehicles. The company is also seeking to reduce warranty costs, which have risen sharply this year. As of early December, Ford was tied with Stellantis as the U.S. automaker with the most recalls this year, with a total of 62. During Jim Farley's four years at the helm of…

autoX Awards 2024: Ather Rizta Performance, Quality and
2024 autoX Awards: The Ather Rizta’s suspension is finely tuned to provide a superior ride on the road and absorbs undulations and bumps better than many other scooters. 2024 autoX Awards: After launching a range of 450 scooters, Ather launches the Rizta - a versatile electric scooter designed for the whole family. The idea is simple – create an electric scooter that’s feature-rich, roomy and practical. Arthur succeeded in turning this idea into reality. While I'm not a fan of the Rizta's design as it looks odd from certain angles, it does have a very long seat - long enough and comfortable enough to accommodate two people and a large bag. If you need more space, there's a roomy 34-litre compartment underneath - one of the largest in the segment and roomy enough to accommodate a full-size helmet. The 7-inch instrument panel does not support touch, and the UI is simpler than that of the 450X. You can navigate the…
2024 autoX Awards: Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Performance, Quality
autoX Awards 2024: The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z has no standout qualities that set it apart, giving it a jack-of-all-trades feel, but its price is its most notable highlight. 2024 autoX Awards: The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is one of the latest entrants in the 400cc sports bike segment in India and arguably, it offers the best value for money. Launched at a price of Rs 1.83 lakh (ex-showroom), the Pulsar NS400Z is a powerful, feature-packed motorcycle for the masses. On our first ride, we were impressed with its grunt, design, and functionality. However, there are no standout qualities that set it apart and give it a jack-of-all-trades feel, and its price is its most notable highlight. Our judging panel at the Buddh International Circuit provided the perfect setting to see how the NS400Z stacked up against its direct competitors. So, how does it stack up against the competition? Honestly, BIC has so many big-name performance bikes to test, and the Pulsar…
autoX Awards 2024: TVS Apache RR 310 Performance, Quality
autoX Awards 2024: The 2024 TVS Apache RR 310 impressed the jury members with its handling. A new Dynamic Package adds adjustable suspension. Even when pushed to its limits or subjected to sudden body movements, the Apache remains light, predictable and agile. 2024 autoX Awards: The 2024 TVS Apache RR 310 is one of the few motorcycles in this year’s jury that is designed for track performance. It finds itself in an impressive company that includes the likes of the Aprilia RS 457 and the mighty Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R. Since its launch in 2018, the Apache RR 310 has been leading the trend in bringing affordable super sports bikes to the Indian market. TVS has continuously refined this model to provide the ultimate value for money performance machine. For 2024, the RR 310 will receive subtle styling, mechanical and electronic upgrades. So, can it satisfy your performance cravings? Apart from the styling upgrades, the change that directly affects its performance…
autoX Awards 2024: TVS Jupiter performance, quality and
autoX Awards 2024: TVS The standout features of the Jupiter 110 are undoubtedly its improved design, extensive feature list and practicality. In my opinion, its styling is the cleanest and most understated in its class. 2024 autoX Awards: The beauty of the autoX Awards judging panel is its unique testing methodology, where a variety of two-wheelers - whether it's a 600cc supersport bike, a 400cc street bike or a 110cc scooter - are pushed to their limits. Among the contestants this year is TVS's new Jupiter 110, which has updated styling, functionality, safety and enhanced performance. Undeniably, the Jupiter 110’s standout features are its improved design, extensive feature list and practicality. In my opinion, its styling is the cleanest and most understated in its class. It comes with features like full LED lighting, a fully digital instrument cluster, USB charging ports and a generous 33 liters of under-seat storage, all of which work in its favour. The Jupiter 110 is…
2024 autoX Awards: Yamaha R3 Performance, Quality and Value
2024 autoX Awards: The new Yamaha R3's riding position strikes a balance between the highly focused position of a baby Aprilia and the more relaxed sport-touring position of bikes like the Ninja 500. 2024 autoX Awards: The Yamaha YZF-R3 is a motorcycle I am eager to experience again. When the previous generation R3 was first launched in India a few years ago, I spent quite a bit of time getting to know it. It’s worth noting that the place where I first got my hands on an R3 in 2015 is at the same venue as our current testing ground for the ‘Best of 2024’ awards – the Buddha International Circuit. So, nine years later, I'm ready to rekindle my relationship with Yamaha's twin-cylinder sport bikes, and my expectations are admittedly high. I still vividly remember how forgiving the R3 was on the track, making even a novice rider like me feel like a pro. To my delight, the new…
2024 autoX Awards: Ampere Nexus ST Performance, Quality and
2024 autoX Awards: Ampere Nexus is powered by a 5.3bhp motor and is said to have a top speed of 93km/h, which is plenty. It accelerates well and riding around the city is a breeze. 2024 autoX Awards: Earlier this year, Ampere launched its most premium model yet, the Nexus electric scooter, which comes in two variants: the base EX, priced at Rs 1.10,000, and the higher-spec ST model, which we tested, priced at Rs 1.20,000 (Ex showroom). Design-wise, the Nexus looks a little boxy, especially around the apron. However, Ampere adds DRL elements to the headlights and taillights, giving it a good aesthetic. The scooter is available in four colours, each with a contrasting black stripe at the centre. The seats are roomy enough for two people, and while the under-seat storage is useful, it's not the largest in the class. The Nexus is powered by a 5.3bhp motor and is said to have a top speed of 93km/h,…
autoX Awards 2024: Ferrari Roma performance, quality and
2024 autoX Awards: The Roma Spider isn't exactly what you'd consider a "performance car of the year." Yes, it has a prancing horse on the hood, but it's more of an elegant cruiser than an out-and-out sports car. Plus, it wasn't that long ago that convertibles were the domain of poseurs, not serious drivers. But, in Rome, Ferrari turned all that around. Yes, it's elegant, and it's very handsome - although I'm not so sure about that perforated front grille - but it's a very serious driver's car. After all, its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine produces more than 600 horsepower at 7,500 rpm. This makes this car a very lively convertible! It immediately feels like it was built for the track. The revs rise with unparalleled ferocity and a soundtrack to match. The gearshift light on top of the steering wheel - in pure Ferrari style - is very useful on the track, as this V8 pulls to redline very…
autoX Awards 2024: Maruti Suzuki Swift Performance, Quality
2024 autoX Awards: There's no denying the growing craze for SUVs in India, as evidenced by the recent launches from automakers - almost all new cars in the past year have been SUVs. However, a look at the sales charts shows that the hatchback remains the country's favorite. The new Maruti Suzuki Swift is the segment leader. One reason for its enduring success is something many new cars struggle to achieve - a unique personality. The Swift was never just a practical car, but a hatchback that was fun to drive. People love it because of its characteristics, because it brings a smile and feels the thrill of driving when you throw it into a corner. However, with the launch of the new generation of Swift, some concerns have arisen. Equipped with the new Z-series 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine, does it still retain its charm? Well, there’s no better way to find out than giving it a try on the track,…
autoX Award 2024: BMW R 1300 GS performance, quality and
2024 autoX Awards: You don't have to reinvent the wheel - this adage rings true if you have something like the mighty GS in your portfolio. No matter what you do, the GS will always be the king of ADV mountains. This is an icon! This is a cult! As GS loyalists will tell you, it's the best of the best and nothing else. But that didn't stop BMW from reinventing the GS wheel. Every time we think the GS has reached its peak and can't possibly be topped again, Motorrad engineers swoop out with a new model and improve it in some way. The new R 1300 GS is proof of that. Everything here is new - the 1,300cc engine, twin-spar chassis, electronics, suspension, even the design. Nothing is carried over except the GS badge. Of course, the star of the show is the 1300cc boxer twin engine, which has a larger bore and shorter stroke than its predecessor.…
autoX Awards 2024: MG Windsor EV performance, quality and
2024 autoX Awards: The MG Windsor is not a new car that will blow your mind the moment you hit the road. On the contrary, as you spend more and more time with it, it will gradually become attractive to you. MG's new electric car, the Windsor, is damn good (pun totally intended!). On the face of it, this is an affordable, mass-market electric car with a slightly odd shape. However, when you look at it objectively, scoring various parameters with pen and paper, you'll be surprised to see that it excels in almost every aspect, including lap times! The Windsor is not a new car that will surprise you as soon as you get in. On the contrary, as you spend more and more time with it, it will gradually become attractive to you. You start to appreciate the engineering and packaging of this electric car, and you start to understand all its details. But obviously, not all is…
autoX Awards 2024: Mahindra Thar Roxx Performance, Quality
2024 autoX Awards: Mahindra Thar has always been a rugged off-road SUV. Known for its practicality, it has always been the quintessential choice for adventurous driving. However, with the launch of the Thar Roxx, the five-door version of the SUV, Mahindra has elevated the model beyond its rugged roots, making it a more versatile, well-rounded offering. The Thar Roxx not only adds the practicality of an extra pair of doors, but also gets a fresh look with C-shaped LED DRLs, a redesigned grille and stylish 19-inch alloy wheels. Firstly, the Thar Roxx is much larger than the three-door version. The wheelbase has been increased by 400mm and the overall length has been increased by 443mm, improving second-row space and available 644-litres of boot space. Now you can easily take your family or friends with you without compromising on comfort. The expanded dimensions also enhance its road presence. Mahindra has also upgraded the cabin with features and quality of materials that…
autoX Awards 2024: Aprilia RS 457 Performance, quality and
2024 autoX Awards: Well, it’s time to come clean. We all know the Aprilia RS 457 will compete with it for "Best of 2024" honors, but we're not ready to let it pass the competition just yet. Just look at the points difference compared to the next "Best of 2024" winner. The RS 457 is head and shoulders above the rest in almost every way, which is impressive. To its credit, Aprilia absolutely knocks it out of the park with the RS 457. You see, the RS 457 was not only a winner, but a product that redefined the segment. For the first time in India we have a locally manufactured global standard twin cylinder motorcycle. And, icing on the cake, it doesn't cost a fortune - if you want a world-class supersport twin, you don't have to break the bank. From their first interaction with the RS 457, the jury was completely enchanted. Whether it's the eye-catching design, value-for-money…
2024 autoX Award: Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R Performance, Quality
2024 autoX Awards: If anyone tells you that the fastest and most practical "big" bikes in India have to be bikes in the 600cc-700cc middleweight category or above, feel free to correct them. In any category, a well-made middleweight can outperform anything else in terms of agility, usable power, and, of course, price. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R has always piqued my interest in this area. It's light, easy to ride, sounds great, and is very manageable. However, I have never ridden it in its natural habitat - a track. So I'm very excited to get behind the wheel of the latest 2024 model at the Buddh International Circuit, with its long straights, flowing corners and technical hairpins. This seems to be the perfect stage for the ZX-6R to compete for top honors at the 2024 autoX Awards. The Ninja ZX-6R is powered by a 636cc inline four-cylinder engine that produces 128bhp and 69Nm of torque. The outstanding feature of its…
2024 autoX Awards: BYD seals performance, quality and value
Step inside and you're immediately struck by the massive 15.6-inch infotainment system. It can be rotated vertically via buttons on the screen or steering wheel, enhancing usability by vertically aligning apps – a real party trick. However, there are some drawbacks; the system only supports wired Apple CarPlay, while Android Auto works wirelessly. Additionally, during intense timed laps, we found that the screen tended to rotate on its own, which was very distracting. Other notable features include a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, dual wireless fast chargers, height-adjustable cup holders and a large panoramic sunroof. Our review model was the range-topping AWD version with an 82.56kWh battery pack. It delivers an impressive 522bhp and 650Nm of peak torque, with a claimed range of 580km and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of just 3.8 seconds. In the handling department, it doesn't disappoint either. Steering is light and precise, although it feels a bit artificial. It changes direction well and provides great feedback. The…
autoX Awards 2024: Hyundai Creta N Line Performance, Quality
autoX Awards 2024: In our jury testing, the Hyundai Creta N-Line consistently delivered a composed and engaging driving experience that never came across as out of place. 2024 autoX Awards: Of all the cars our panel tested, even in the crowded midsize SUV segment, few vehicles garnered as much praise as the Hyundai Creta, and rightfully so. It offers plenty of space, a range of features, impressive comfort and an enjoyable driving experience. However, Hyundai India leadership felt that the Creta deserved greater recognition and hence the new Hyundai Creta N-Line made its debut this year. With sharper styling, enhanced performance and the same family-friendly appeal, it aims to raise the bar even further. Even before delving into its performance, the Hyundai Creta N-Line impresses with its styling enhancements. A refreshed front fascia, N-Line-specific 18-inch alloy wheels, a double-layer rear spoiler, a blackened rear diffuser and dual chrome exhaust pipes all make a bold statement about its sporty style. Our…
2024 autoX Awards: BSA Gold Star 650 Performance, Quality
2024 autoX Awards: The BSA Gold Star 650 aims to capture a deceptively simple but elusive motorcycle style – retro. 2024 autoX Awards: When it comes to selecting the "Best of 2024," determining what sets one contender apart from the rest can be a challenge in itself. However, BSA Gold Star 650 makes things more complicated. You see, its goal is to capture a deceptively simple yet difficult-to-perfect motorcycle style—retro. At first glance, building a retro bike may seem as simple as designing something that looks decades old. But catering to retro motorcycle enthusiasts isn’t simple, as even they struggle to articulate exactly what makes a retro motorcycle truly resonate. Trust me, I am one of them. However, every once in a while a bike comes along that's just right, and the BSA Gold Star 650 is one of those bikes. What immediately stands out about the Gold Star is its superior quality, fit and look, which is an unexpected…
2024 autoX Awards: Hero Mavrick 440 Performance, Quality &
2024 autoX Award: Hero Mavrick 440 Powerful low-end torque, agility and a short final drive ratio make it a great all-rounder. 2024 autoX Awards: In the last anniversary jury, the Harley-Davidson X440 emerged as Hero's flagship contender. This year, Hero launched its own version – the Mavrick 440. Since its launch in February, we've had ample opportunity to experience what it brings to the table, and we've been impressed by it on both highway and rough road conditions. However, I'm particularly keen to push all 27bhp of the Mavrick to its limits on a track, to see if the characteristics that help it shine in everyday and off-road environments can be maintained in a high-pressure, enclosed environment. To recap, the Mavrick produces 27 hp and 36 Nm of peak torque, which is 2 Nm less than the X440. Before testing its performance at the Buddha International Circuit, I was already impressed with its capabilities for daily use. Its strong low-end…
autoX Awards 2024: Triumph Speed T4 performance, quality and
2024 autoX Awards: The T4 is based on the Triumph Speed 400, with cost-conscious design modifications to make it more affordable. The engine is the same 398cc TR-series engine as the Speed 400, but its power and torque figures are 9bhp and 1.5Nm lower respectively. 2024 autoX Awards: The Indian 300 – 400cc motorcycle market is becoming increasingly competitive and almost all manufacturers want a piece of the pie. Traditionally, Royal Enfield has dominated the market with its classic cruisers. Although Triumph already has a niche in this segment with the launch of two 400cc bikes, this year they have further upped their game with the launch of a new model - the Speed T4. Priced at Rs 2.17 lakh (ex-showroom), it has become the most affordable Triumph model in the country. The T4 is based on the Speed 400, with cost-conscious design modifications to make it more affordable. The engine is the same 398cc TR-series engine as the Speed…
autoX Awards 2024: BMW 5 Series performance, quality and
autoX Award 2024: The new generation 5 Series marks a change in BMW's strategy. It arguably places as much, if not more, emphasis on rear-seat comfort, but that comes at a slight compromise in terms of driving. 2024 autoX Awards: The launch of BMW's new 5 Series has had a considerable impact, especially in terms of pricing. On paper, it offers great value for money and offers more space than ever as it is the largest 5 Series model in the Indian market. This is due to BMW launching the new-generation 5 Series long-wheelbase version in India, making India the second country in the world to obtain this model after China. To give you an idea of how big of a difference that is, at least at first glance, the new 5 Series looks almost as big, if not bigger, than the older generation 7 Series. After driving it thoroughly in Delhi earlier this year and later pushing it to…
autoX Awards 2024: Performance, quality and
autoX Awards 2024: The petrol-powered Tata Punch's powertrain was one of the weakest aspects of our first drive; while smooth, it lacked impressive performance. However, the Punch EV offers a more powerful driving experience with 120 hp and 190Nm of torque, depending on which mode you select. 2024 autoX Awards: Of the electric contenders tested by our jury, the Tata Punch EV was one we were particularly eager to evaluate. The ICE-powered version of the Tata Punch has already impressed us, and it did the same in our first drive review of the electric version. But the question is – how will it stack up against the competition at this year’s autoX Awards? How does it compare to the overall appeal of the Tigor EV and Nexon EV? Compared with the ICE model, the interior experience of the Punch EV is more unique. It features a dual-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel embellished with illuminated Tata logo. The fully digital instrument panel…
2024 autoX Awards: Mini Countryman EV Performance, Quality
autoX Awards 2024: In India, the electric Mini Countryman is only available in a single-motor version. The motor produces 204 horsepower and 250Nm of torque. 2024 autoX Awards: Of all the vehicles available in the country, the Mini is widely recognized for its X-factor and driving pleasure. However, Mini India is now aiming to improve efficiency with the launch of the Countryman EV. This model is aimed directly at enthusiasts and strives to be a truly all-around SUV. In India, the electric Mini Countryman is only available in a single-motor version. The motor produces 204 horsepower and 250Nm of torque. When you floor the accelerator, the Countryman accelerates smoothly and linearly, with a steady, progressive rush displayed on the speedometer. While it may not be the fastest car on the road, I would describe its performance as "brisk." Mini India's claimed 0 to 100km/h time of 8.6 seconds accurately reflects the way it drives. It's not fast enough to overwhelm…
2024 autoX Awards: Aston Martin DB12 Performance, Quality
2024 autoX Awards: Look at it. marvelous. Purple! No car has the right to look so beautiful and special in the hue known as "Storm Purple". Yet the Aston Martin DB12 accomplishes this task with aplomb. Shake, but do not stir. So gentle indeed. I'd still put my car in the racing green of Aston's 1959 Le Mans-winning DBR1, but I certainly wouldn't say no to this eggplant either. This is a car that feels expensive – it feels special. Everything in the cabin is wrapped in hand-stitched leather. Now it has a new cabin, which is also state-of-the-art, with a touch screen and a 15-speaker Bowers and Wilkins audio system. You don't need anything but the guttural roar from AMG's 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, which produces an almost incomprehensible 671 horsepower. Well, it's hard to fathom until you take it to the track, and then you quickly realize this isn't just a pretty face - this is a truly serious…
2024 autoX Awards: Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Performance, Quality
2024 autoX Awards: Like the C43 sedan, the new Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe is powered by a 2.0-liter engine producing 420 hp and 500 Nm of torque, boosted by a 48V mild hybrid motor with a further 14 hp and 150 Nm. Torque starts under load. 2024 autoX Awards: Launched in 2017, the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 Coupe is the first domestic model in the series. The second-generation GLC 43 SUV-Coupe is based on the C43 sedan with significant changes. The most significant change is the switch from a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine to a more compact 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with an electronic turbocharger. In addition, the exterior design has been refreshed and the interior layout has also been revamped. So, as an AMG SUV, does it have the ability to impress the jury? Before we delve into the driving experience, let's look at the numbers. Like the C43 sedan, the new GLC 43 Coupe is powered by a 2.0-liter engine producing…
2024 autoX Awards: Kawasaki Ninja 500 Performance, Quality
2024 autoX Awards: If you want a muscular-looking, bulky machine, the Kawasaki Ninja 500 is certainly a good choice. That said, the bike only comes in all-black color, which might not appeal to everyone. 2024 autoX Awards: The Kawasaki Ninja 500 has always been one of my favorite machines, both on and off the track. The 451cc parallel twin-cylinder engine has a very friendly and approachable character, and it also has advantages in terms of power. You can easily ride at low rpm without worrying about it stalling, which means you don't have to constantly shift gears. The icing on the cake is the engine's incredible smoothness, which you can feel most of the time. Even though it's a twin-cylinder unit, it has the refined feel and character of an inline-four. Even with a basic telescopic fork up front, the Ninja 500 handles rough roads well. The front 41mm upright fork and rear mono-shock are tuned to soak up bumps…

autoX Awards 2024: BMW CE 04 Performance, Quality and Value
autoX Awards 2024: While the BMW CE 04’s top speed of 120 km/h may not be impressive on the track, its acceleration is – 0 to 50 km/h in just 2.6 seconds. No wonder this is the only scooter to score points in a single lap time. 2024 autoX Awards: Whether we like it or not, the future is moving toward electrification. There’s no better proof of this than the launch of a cosmetic scooter from BMW worth over Rs 15 lakh – say hello to the CE 04! That's what makes it more interesting. It's powered by an electric motor from the X3 xDrive30e plug-in hybrid, producing 42 hp and 62 Nm of torque. Unlike most scooters, BMW mounts the motor directly to the chassis, ensuring a more stable and lightweight ride. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a toothed belt transmission. Despite weighing over 226 kg, the CE 04 is still easy to control. Its wheelbase…
2024 autoX Awards: Yamaha MT-03 Performance, Quality and
2024 autoX Awards: Yamaha’s twin-cylinder siblings, the YZF-R3 and MT-03, both earned spots as “Best of 2024” contenders. While I had high expectations for the R3 (you can read about that elsewhere in this issue), I had low expectations for the MT-03. Unlike the iconic R3, the MT-03 may not be widely recognized among Indian motorcycle enthusiasts yet, but the name "MT" carries some street cred, thanks to the popular MT-15, which has been Known as one of the most popular motorcycles. The most capable 150cc street naked bike in the country. The MT-03's 321cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine (also used in the R3) provides it with a powerful starting point. Power delivery is smooth, with plenty of torque in the lower rev range. However, to get a truly exciting performance, you need to work on making it exciting. At first glance, the bike looks well built, but doesn't feel entirely modern as it's missing standard features for the segment, such…
autoX Awards 2024: Bajaj Freedom 125 Performance, Quality
2024 autoX Awards: Typically, high-performance and premium motorcycles take the spotlight in our annual big test. However, the Bajaj Freedom 125, while neither the fastest nor the prettiest, stands out, stands out and garners quite a bit of attention. Why? There are two main reasons for this – its quirky design and dual-fuel technology. It is the world's first CNG motorcycle and offers significant cost savings of up to 50% compared to standard gasoline-powered commuter bikes. This makes it the best value for money in our entire bike range. Taking a minimalist approach to developing the Freedom 125, Bajaj has managed to fit a PESO-certified 2kg CNG cylinder in the middle of its grid frame. What's more, they've also seamlessly integrated the entire conversion and switching system (similar to the setup found in some cars) into this stylish motorcycle. The Freedom focuses on functionality, with long, comfortable seats and multiple luggage racks on each side. Plus, it has fork guard…

autoX Award 2024: BMW CE 02 Performance, Quality and Value
2024 autoX Awards: Is it a scooter? No. Is it a motorcycle? No sir. So, what exactly is it? Well, it's the CE 02, which BMW calls the eParkourer, which to us seems like a made-up term for a non-existent product. That said, it's very unique and looks pretty cool. And, boy, does it show that! The CE 02 is an electric two-wheeler that arrives to challenge the status quo. Obviously, it's not for the masses. We must add that its target audience is the stylish, cool, wealthy people who want to commute short distances on a two-wheeler as the equivalent of a fashion accessory. The fact that it wears a BMW badge and has green credentials adds to its appeal. With its boxy, simple, clean design, coupled with stylish elements such as a sleek TFT display, and a variety of color tones on the body, it's certainly an eye-catcher. It's got a ton of X-factor, that's all. Driving fast…
autoX Awards 2024: Maserati Grecale performance, quality and
autoX Awards 2024: With the Maserati Grecale, you can revel in an extremely sporty SUV. If you want a unique and stylish SUV that is both visually appealing and fun to drive, this dynamic SUV is very Suitable for your requirements. 2024 autoX Awards: It's certainly not a revelation that Italians know style. It’s no surprise that Maserati embodies this. This is a compact SUV that's stylish inside and out, and it shows. After all, the trident on the hood adorns some of the most stylish machines ever built. However, the company finds itself in a very competitive space. And, with a price tag of Rs 13 crore, it certainly doesn't do itself any favors. In fact, it comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Yes, it produces 325 hp, and, yes, it actually drives very well, but there's no getting away from the fact that you're paying close to 5 crore rupees for a car with four-wheel drive on…
2024 autoX Awards: Kia EV9 Performance, Quality and Value
2024 autoX Awards: If you had to describe the Kia EV9 in one word, it would probably be "huge," or maybe "imposing." Well, you see, the EV9 has an undeniable presence on the road with its chunky side styling, five-metre length and flat front. Large wheels, dramatic digital headlights and a spacious greenhouse make it impossible to mistake the EV9 for any other vehicle on the road. As Kia's flagship model in the Indian market, the real eye-catcher is the interior. The EV9's interior features exquisite finishes and a modern, clean layout, complemented by multiple digital screens that give the interior a high-tech feel. This is further enhanced by its Level 2 ADAS capabilities, which coupled with 10 airbags and passive safety features make it truly class-leading. Another thing that impressed the jury was the EV9's interior space and its ultra-comfortable premium leatherette seats. I have to admit that when I first took the EV9 to the track, my expectations…
autoX Awards 2024: Tata Curvv performance, quality and value
autoX Awards 2024: Tata has positioned the Curvv very competitively in terms of price, making it an attractive option for those who think the electric version of the Curvv is a bit too expensive. 2024 autoX Awards: Today, Tata Motors has become a popular choice among those looking for a safe and stylish car, and the Curvv in its internal combustion engine avatar is no exception. Curvv features a futuristic, clean design that immediately catches people's attention with its stylish LED light strip and DRLs on the front. The Curvv also has similar lighting elements on its rear end, which together with the sloping roofline create a look straight out of a sci-fi movie. Staying true to Tata's reputation, Curvv has also received a five-star rating in the Bharat NCAP safety assessment. Inside, most of the Curvv's layout and features are the same as the EV version. It comes with features like a large touchscreen, JBL sound system, and ventilated…
autoX Awards 2024: Tata Curvv EV performance, quality and
2024 autoX Awards: The Curvv's eye-catching coupe-SUV design gives it an edge over the competition, especially its electric version. The aerodynamic wheel design, enclosed grille and loud EV badge give it points in the "X-factor" category. Interior-wise, it's very similar to the ICE version, except that the EV has a light theme instead of the ICE version's dark theme interior, which significantly enhances its sense of space. Creature comfort levels are very high, and as we observed in testing, the fit and finish levels of the EV version are significantly better than those of the ICE version. However, it has suffered in other segments too, just like the petrol and diesel segment. For example, the ergonomics could be better, practical storage space is limited, and headroom is a little cramped both front and rear. Curvv EV is based on a dedicated electric vehicle platform called Acti.EV. As a result, it offers a significantly different or vastly improved driving experience compared…
