Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet Facelift

The E-Class Cabriolet from Mercedes-Benz is purely for those who like to drive beneath the light blue sky. Drive it with an open top or keep it closed, the Cabriolet indeed comes forth as a pure charmer. Post launch, the new model is expected to be positioned between the C-Class Cabriolet and the S-Class Cabriolet. The new model will be launched with fresh features and style upgrades which will be shared with E-Class Coupe.

Under the hood, the upcoming Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet is expected to continue being powered by 3.0-litre, V6, twin-turbocharged engine from the current generation model. Mated to 7G-Tronic Plus automatic gearbox, the vehicle generates 333bhp of power and 480Nm of peak torque. It is likely that the new model might also get a variety of powertrains including a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder motor along with few diesel engine options as well

Audi Q8

Audi is expanding its SUV line-up globally, adding new models within and beyond their existing range. While Q3, Q5 and the Q7 defining the traditional SUV segments, the Q2, Q4 and the Q8, on the other hand, are the part of the new products. The Q8 is a high-end coupe SUV built on the same platform as the Porsche Macan and the Lamborghini Urus.

Unlike the Q7, the Q8 is a five-seater coupe SUV built to compete with the likes of the BMW X6 and the Mercedes GLE Coupe. It will toe the new sharper design language from Audi seen on its newer models with the hexagonal grille and sleek headlamps. The body lines are also quite sharp and with the large wheels and low roof, it looks sporty as well.

The interior is signature Audi with the virtual cockpit and the infotainment screen leading the proceedings on the glazed dashboard. The cockpit gets a sea of touch-panel controllers to ensure the surfaces are clean. Being a high-end Audi, it will get all the bells and whistles like the panoramic sunroof, 360-degree parking assist, ventilated power seats et al.

Kia Rio

I haven’t driven a whole lot of electric cars in my life. But, the few that I have, have always been on top of their game. And expensive. And futuristic. No wonder I have never imagined owning one.

The Kia Soul EV though, is different. It’s still on top of its game –which we will get to in a bit – but it’s also very mainstream. And, it doesn’t cost the earth. But, given that it costs twice as much as its petrol-powered twin, well we still won’t call it great value.

Now, the Soul EV isn’t coming to India – well, not just yet, any way. But, it does tell us how the future Kia EV for India will drive and feel.

Jeep Renegade

Jeep, starting with Willys produced the first civilian jeep in 1945. It is the only company that continued producing jeeps after the world war and are still doing so. Jeep also produces premium off-road SUVs. From this stable comes the Renegade, a small, fun and affordable 4×4 offering.

The Renegade comes with rugged cloth seats with different leather trim options, it will come with different colour seat materials as well as contrast stitching. The Uconnect 6.5 Nav system comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, AM/FM radio, AUX/USB media hub for iPod mobile device integration, sensor-assisted GPS, speed-adjusted volume and GPS navigation.
