@instaguyonx Yes!! Congratulations!

Honda has given the 5th gen City a second facelift & although it's minor, the car definitely looks better now (I hate chrome)! But there are 0 mechanical changes, the screen looks after-market, there is still no Turbo VTEC & the changes aren't enough to boost sales of the City!

[Faisal Khan @FasBeam]

@Thesmartrascal Yes, in September!

Skoda has loaded base variant of Kushaq with a lot of features which is amazing but instead of alloy wheels, a better infotainment system would be nice!

The Kushaq facelift drives as good as ever & added features makes it a better package, price - Rs. 12.66 - 22.47 lakhs (OTR)!

@_imperfect_10 Or chucked the alloys!

[Faisal Khan @FasBeam]

@ParthMaru0337 Yes but not huge!

@maybeamandeep Haha!

The Duster is back but this time it's feature loaded! Renault has done a fab job as the new Duster is a great all-round package (a diesel is missing though)! The dynamics are segment best with good handling, great ride & a nice steering feel. Price - Rs. 12.42 - 22.15 lakhs (OTR)

@iamdhrv Diesel still accounts for 50%+ sales

The new CLA could be the most affordable Mercedes in India & the range is absolutely phenomenal (claimed at 792 kms)! But the design is a hit or a miss - some like it, some don't! What do you think about this new design direction & would you buy this EV sedan at Rs. 60 lakhs?

@adityalala2000 They were late to sign up for the sub 4-metre program!

The Kylaq has been a game changer for Skoda with 50,000 units sold in the past 12 months (it completes 1 year today - happy birthday Kylaq)!

Skoda has been smart enough to understand what Indian car buyer wants & the Kylaq is proof that good things do come in small packages!

@lh44foreverrr Turbo petrols aren't efficient when driven hard! NA petrols are better in efficiency but don't offer performance!

[Faisal Khan @FasBeam]

@askmetech Not selling anything!

[Faisal Khan @FasBeam]

@kunaalshaw Doubt that will happen without a diesel engine option as 60% of Creta sales are diesel!

[Faisal Khan @FasBeam]

@TheGvs0 Probably wasn't in the demand they anticipated!

[Faisal Khan @FasBeam]

@kjojo3921 It's now become a trend, everyone wants a passenger screen!

[Faisal Khan @FasBeam]

Mercedes has given the S-Class a facelift & it gets even more tech now! Do you like the Mercedes logo in the headlights and tail-lights? Are 3 screens too much? Because this car actually has 5 screens (excluding the remote for rear seat entertainment)!

The best gets even better?

[Faisal Khan @FasBeam]

@brasstacksworld It does!

[Faisal Khan @FasBeam]

Tata has finally made a good petrol engine as the 1.5-litre TGDI motor that powers the Sierra, Harrier & Safari is very impressive in refinement & performance! The new Fearless Ultra variant adds even more features to these cars but I wish the Safari was still a ladder frame SUV!
