“You can buy this car with your eyes closed.” Well, there are just a handful of cars that deserves a blind cheque and Toyota Corolla would be in that lot, even if you put a hater on the job. 47 million cars sold around the world! I suspect most of …
Mitsubishi ASX 2020 review: Plain Gain!
Mitsubishi ASX is an evolving vehicle. It has been a gradual evolution, but transformative. For a model that started its life as an MPV almost three decades ago, last ten years have been a little more adventurous ride as a Crossover SUV. Looks like the garb suits the car, because …
Kia Niro review: North of twenty
Niro isn’t that Niro. I mean, given that Niro means black, and Niro happens to be a hybrid, it isn’t a car shrouded in mystery or intrigue. It is as straightforward and regular as a car gets. But then hybrids are supposed to look pretty regular – even electric cars …
Audi RS5 Review 2020: Wait till you hear this
Audi RS5 is not just a sports car, even though the badge clearly defines it as one. To begin with, it has a 2.9 L biturbo V6, accounting for the formidable power on leash. The RS5 stands two rungs above the sporty S5 and the laymen’s Sportback A5. Audi’s racing …
Honda CR-V 2020 Review: Refreshed and recharged!
What is new about Honda CR-V 2020? The two most useful features added to the 2020 Honda CR-V Touring (the top trim) is a Qi wireless charger, neatly laid out on the console, and front parking sensors. The most significant addition to the mid-spec EX must be the hands-free automatic …

Driving through the two little sand-coloured towers that marked the entrance to the village, I thought to myself: this must be the best-kept secret of the Abu Dhabi desert, not very far from the city. From where I turned off the Abu Dhabi – Al Ain highway, I drove twenty-five …
The return of the Supra
Supra has returned, and it announced to us in style at the Yas Marina Circuit. For a car that took its form and fire at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, easy on the tongue as ‘the green hell, ’ there was no better place in the UAE to present its new avatar. …
Nissan Patrol 2020 uplifts looks, seats, screens
Well, those are the highlights but there’s even more to the all-new version of Nissan Patrol launched for 2020 including more efficient air-conditioning and an ECO mode in the V8 version. For 2020, the Nissan Patrol starts at AED 199,900. There is a strange system of classification for SUVs that …
I view the world from the 2000 PS Lotus Evija
There are lucky days, and then there are lucky days. Wednesday the 18th must have been the latter kind for I found myself, blissful as a lotus, sitting inside the cabin of the Evija. Lotus has dubbed it the most powerful hypercar ever to go into production. It is a …
Mercedes A250 AMG Review 2019: The next leveller
The last I met the Mercedes A250, bling was its charm and sportiness was its forte. It wasn’t a bad car to drive at all, but meeting the new generation changed my opinion for the better. The fourth generation is somewhat bigger and a whole lot better to drive but …
