The BMW 6 Series GT is a rebellious vehicle

The latest BMW 6 Series GT defies the existing list of body types in the automobile industry. It's a fastback that isn't a three-box sedan or a hatchback. It's a large, well-made luxury car with a roomy, comfortable interior and smooth driving dynamics. There are petrol and diesel engines available for the vehicle. For this study, the petrol 630i M Sport, which is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 258 horsepower and 400Nm of torque has been used. The car's first feature is its size: it's 5.09 metres long and weighs 1,800 kilogrammes. The four-cylinder engine, however, feels capable of hauling its weight thanks to an 8-speed automatic ‘Steptronic' transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. The time from zero to 100 kilometres per hour in 6.5 seco...

Second Wave of COVID-19: Top Upcoming Car Launches Postponed Due to Pandemic: Hyundai, Audi, and Others

During the second wave of the pandemic, a surge in COVID-19 cases in India has brought life to a halt. With several areas of the country in partial or complete lockdown, business leaders are pressed to consider their plans for the rest of the year. Automobile producers have been deliberating business plans as well, and we should expect a pause in the introduction of new vehicles in the near future. Owing to the virus outbreak, several major launches have been forced to be postponed. We take a look at some of the anticipated launches that have been delayed due to the COVID-19 case surge. Celerio Maruti Suzuki: The current pandemic has also postponed the launch of the new Maruti Suzuki Celerio.

What to expect from the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso and Tata HBX competitor Hyundai AX1 micro SUV?

The Hyundai AX1 is the codename for the Korean automaker's upcoming micro SUV. The official name is now hidden away in a safe in Seoul. However, the automaker has teased the AX1 SUV with a couple of obscure teaser images, implying that a full unveiling is on the way. Hyundai hasn't committed to any particular requirements or features for the time being. The only real proof we have is the test mule photos and the two teaser images. However, for the time being, all we can do is look back at patterns to see what Hyundai may have in store for the AX1. The AX1 will be a subcompact SUV that will sit below the Venue. The AX1 will be a global product, similar to the Location, but we believe it will be in higher demand in India, Asia, and Africa. The AX1 will be a subcompact SUV that will si...

Elon Musk says Tesla will be known as an AI Company

Elon Musk recently stated that Tesla is increasingly being recognized as an Artificial Intelligence and Robotics company. On April 26th, during Tesla's Q1 2021 earnings call, the point was made. Tesla has a reputation for being a market leader in hybrid vehicles and self-driving cars. Despite this, the company has been embroiled in several controversies as a result of Tesla car accidents and other increasing concerns regarding technological quality issues. Elon Musk made the remark in response to Tesla's ability to build a cutting-edge AI team and technology for its self-driving cars. According to reports, the stock price fluctuated during the initial earnings, rising 1.2 percent to USD736.20 on the day of the announcement. However, after the earnings announcement, the stock has droppe...

Pros and Cons of the BMW 6 Series GT 630i M Sport

BMW's exclusive offering in the form of the 6 Series GT has carved out a niche in the premium segment. The 6 GT is a four-door ‘hatch' that does not meet the pattern of being a four-door coupe but is more sedan-like than a proper station waggon (or, as BMW calls it, Touring). The 6 GT, which was first launched in early 2018, was updated internationally last year and arrived in India last month with improvements both inside and out. We tested it in the 630i M Sport trim level, and you can read about our first impressions here. This time, we dig a little deeper to give you five reasons why the BMW 6 Series GT is a better purchase, as well as two reasons why you should consider the crossover/SUV alternatives. Pros There is plenty of space: The BMW 6 Series GT makes a strong case for i...

For 2022, Honda Civic Sedan Gets A Sporty Makeover

Honda's Civic is arguably the most significant concept. Not because it's the most fun money can buy, but because it's been the most affordable Swiss Army knife for over 50 years. These are different days. With crossovers and trucks leading the market, the sedan has less leeway. Rather than slashing costs, Honda has unveiled an entirely new concept that is backed by a winning formula. The Civic 2022 has arrived. The Civic, now in its 11th generation, is a little longer, wider, and taller than the previous generation, but it's still small enough to be considered a compact at 184 inches bumper to bumper. It foregoes the avant-garde styling of the previous iteration, which drew mixed reviews, in favor of a more traditional design inspired by its bigger brother, the Accord. This is no coinc...
