DB9
Base Price :
2,90,00,000
Rating 6.8/10  
Verdict
Also a Bond Car, DB9 is one of the best designs of its time.A fabulous 6.0-litre V12 engine produces nice sound. Its steering is typically Aston Martin that gets better as speedo climbs and the car shines through. Rear seats aren't too practical, but pampers with overall luxury
Rapide S
Base Price :
3,50,00,000
Rating 6.6/10  
Verdict
Its a British built luxurious 4 door sedan with sporting dynamics. Longer wheel base makes sure there is space for rear occupants. Rapide S has the same 6L V12 engine tuned to suit the sports sedan. Interior has wide customisation options. Expensive but has Aston Martin exclusivity on its side.
Vanquish
Base Price :
3,80,00,000
Rating 6.9/10

The Aston Martin Vanquish is an all new replacement for the Aston Martin DBS. The V12 does justice to Vanquish, and the interiors are mix of luxurious charm with moden technology. There is more space for both luggage and passengers.
Vantage
Base Price :
1,86,22,500
Rating 6.7/10  
Verdict
Vantage is very stylish two seater rival for Porsche 911. The 4.7-litre V8, which sounds fantastic, it rides really well and has dynamics to match. Vantage's price tag is a tad higher than immediate competition, but then has an exclusivity coupled with a British-built charm acclaiming its own appeal

24,56,000
Rating 7.0/10  
Verdict
Major selling points of A3 are interior quality, gadgetry and driving pleasure. Its an entrant variant to enter the Audi world and have first hand experience of Audi's engineering. It has a lot of potential for the Indian market which has younger buyers for entry level luxury cars although it's priced slightly on the higher side.

Rating 6.6/10  
Verdict
Althought the A3 Cabriolet is on expensive side and upto some extent a bit impractical also, it offersan exclusivity and image which are uinique for the segment and asking price.
A4
Base Price :
38,10,000
Rating 7.2/10  
Verdict
The 5th gen A4 raises the bar with quality and luxury wrapped in an elegant layout. Space is nothing less than segment leading and quality befits a class above. Available with only 1.4 litre petrol engine for now, it's quite pricey for its power! Expect to see more powertrains with higher output by year end.
A6
Base Price :
45,90,000
Rating 7.5/10  
Verdict
A strong competitor to E Class and 5 Series, A6 has lots of equipment and is nice to drive. Interiors are at par with its contemporaries while possessing good cabin ambiance. New aluminum and steel chassis helps it remain agile and also a capable cruiser. However, it lacks wider choice of engine options.
A8 L
Base Price :
1,08,95,000
Rating 7.2/10  
Verdict
Audi A8 L has most advance technologies with subtle rich feeling interior and comfortable quite cabin. Its 4.2 diesel engine makes sure it has got plenty of effortless performance at tap. Very well engineered vehicle dynamics, and very comfortable cabin help it remain in the luxury game.
Q3
Base Price :
28,99,000
Rating 7.3/10

Q3 styling makes a statement in its own, equipped with decent engine and drive train. Though its compact, its a comfortable 5 seater and easy to manoeuvre through dense urban traffic, and also agile for twisty sections. One variant is available with a manual transmission.
Q5
Base Price :
49,46,000
Rating 7.2/10  
Verdict
Q5 slots between small Q3 and its bigger brother Q7 and offers a nice comfortable cabin which still feels contemporary. Also available with 3.0 engine and iconic Quattro AWD. Pricing seems to be little hefty and is getting a bit dated.
Q7
Base Price :
72,00,000
Rating 7.2/10  
Verdict
The second generation launched recently, Q7 further improves upon its 7-seater ability with more comfort. With Quattro and strong 3.0 litre engine, Q7 can handle some dust and dirt too. Practical, great ride experience but quite large for congested roads. However, it lacks proper space saver and doesn't look as imposing as its predecessor.
R8
Base Price :
2,00,00,000
Rating 7.5/10  
Verdict
Audi's flagship model comes with two gigantic engine options of V8 and V10. Aluminum chassis beneath its feather light body provides one of the best track ride experience and confidence to push the pedal further and further into the floor. Its flawless design is surely a head turner. One of the best engineered cars.

RS7 Sportsback offers scintaling performace, and it easily sits in sports car category. All this while looking absolutely stunning and offfers luxurious experience with a lot of kit.

Powered by a very strong V6, S5 sportback offers quick performance and also is quite practical thanks to good passenger space and luggage space. The high speed stability is rock solid, and absorbent ride helps its cause to cover long distances easily.
TT Coupe
Base Price :

Rating 7.4/10  
Verdict
Another head tunner design by Audi. Lacks practicality but makes up well in drivability, comfort and gizmo departments. Its 2.0L engine for such light body is enough to push you deep in your seats when accelerated yet fuel economy not heavy on wallet. Sheer joy to cruise around busy roads. It has Audi emblem and engineering and its Coupe !

Bentayga
Base Price :
3,85,00,000
Rating 7.2/10  
Verdict
Ultra luxurious SUV, Bentayga also happens to be the world's fastest SUV straight out of factory. Bentley has received record bookings from India, which also would result into longer waiting period.

3 Series
Base Price :
35,90,000
Rating 7.4/10  
Verdict
The present model is more spacious than its predecessor while offering drive quality which many still term as the segment best. Considered as a class benchmark for handling, BMW has improved the car in all aspects while keeping the fun to drive factor as intact as possible. The diesel engine could have been more silent though.
5 Series
Base Price :
48,90,000
Rating 7.5/10  
Verdict
Consistently improved upon, the 5-series has now evolved to be a stronger competitor. Ride is improved, cabin is decent and rear seat is marginally improved, all this with two diesel engine options and one petrol: The M5. However, the rear seat is the least airy in its segment. Plus, it lacks a spare wheel due to run flat tires. It's a good all-rounder but things have moved fast since then.
6 Series
Base Price :
1,11,50,000
Rating 7/10  
Verdict
Stunning looks and excellent quality inside out, 6-series is certainly a stand out in any crowd. Powered by very capable engines, this car is a sort of Grand Tourer in BMW's range which also explains the rock solid stabiltiy at speed and less agility than regular BMW sedans. Rear seat headroom is limited, but this car has looks which onyl a few can match

Z4
Base Price :

Rating 6.8/10  
Verdict
Z4 is one of the most well known roadster all the over the world. Powered by one of the smoothest 6 cylinder engine, the sound and free revving nature make it perfect for a roadster on a nice, twisty road. Its the appeal of this car that makes it quite special. Cabin could be romier, but then its oriented for having fun behind the wheel. The folding roof is hardtop which is a practical thought

The first model by the company in India and it's an economical hatch with loads of space at offer. It's practical and easy to drive around; maintenance is also low along with fuel efficient engine. Lacks quality built and features.
Go Plus
Base Price :
3,79,000

Very affordable MUV with lots of space though 3rd row is not for adults. Engine, ride and handling are really notable and is simple keeping maintenance low. Interiors give a bit cheap feel but buy if space is your need.
Redi Go
Base Price :
3,34,000
Rating 6.9/10  
Verdict
Based on Kwid's platform, Redi Go with its very aggressive pricing has surprised many. Set high above the ground than its immediate competition, it boasts of a spacious and an airy cabin. Looks awkward from the rear, and exposed metal in interiors let it down, but value it offers for each penny spent makes it a strong product in the entry level segment.

India's own sports car, very stylishly designed that is certainly a head turner. Under the hood it has 310bhp powered 2000cc petrol engine. For the designers they had only 2 seats to design and a tiny cabin to which they have failed. Ride and handling is good but misses out on basic gizmos and safety kit. Though it looks stunning, it's wee bit overpriced.

A successor to Ferrari 458, Ferrari 488 GTB offers even stronger performance and improvises upon its predecessor in every possible way. Also, 488 GTB a turbo charged motor, against the naturally aspirated of its predecessor. As a sports car, there is very little to find fault with. A very strong performer for Ferrari, 488 GTB remains a faviroute among potential sports car buyers.

Premium performace hatch competing against mighty Mini Cooper. Has the performace of a track car with one of the best responsive and obident systems to drive this beauty. Its rawness is best though cramped rear seats and CBU pricing takes it down. Also its more of a track car than on road due to hard suspension tunning.
Abarth Avventura

A more practical Avventura with gem of an engine. In Abarth format the engine complements the fantastic chassis. Oriented towards performace, Abart Avventura is a decision straight from heart. The beefed up body looks nice and build is solid. Only if the ergonomcis could be improved....
Abarth Punto
Base Price :
9,95,001
Rating 6.9/10  
Verdict
Car built for no ordinary crowd, the strips on its metal body, the Abarth badge on its chest with those alloy wheels is just eye catching. The best part is under its skin that 1.4 turbo charged petrol engine churning out monstrous 145bhp of power coupled with 5 speed manual is just too good. Ride and handling doesn't let engine power go waste and nicely put to gather.

Nicely designed cross over has many flaws to start with like driving position, equipments, engine performance. But its styling and interors attract crowd towards it.

The new and improved verison of Linea classic with better designing after face lifts and changes its streamlines. Ride and handling are great and it has new cabin design too which makes one feel rich by its quality. It has decent engine line up that also includes torquey petrol 1.4 Tjet motor. Rear seats lack space plus the car is showing its age now.
Linea Classic

New Ford Endeavour addresses all the points of its predecessor that needed improvement, and yet drastically trumps upon the strengths.

For speedy customers, Figo's engine performance and handling will lure them while for the rest its practicality and ride quality will impress them.

Small hatch with nice styling up front though the all glass rear hatch results into mixed opinions. Engine has grunt but its concentrated at top end and the engine does love to revv.

Honda has upped the ante in compact SUV segment with BRV. It's a 7-seater which is a big plus point in its arsenal.

SUV with sorted engineering and car like dynamics but comes only with petrol motor as Honda is yet to announce diesel variant for India.

After all, it's CRV that kick started the compact SUV segment in India.

One of the best hatchbacks out there with eye catching looks. It's spacious and practical which is easy to drive around and sorted engineering provides high ergonomics.

Creta stuck a chord with Indian customer expectations, offering a daily usability with SUV presence. It's currently the segment champion, enjoying even the waiting lists. Strong performance from both the 1.6L engines further help Creta maintain its dominance. The higher variants are pricey while lower ones are under-powered and not feature rich.

Elite i20 has moved the game further ahead in the premium hatchback segment again. Facing stiff competition from Maruti Suzuki Baleno, it still holds a its own pretty well. Fit and finish, NVH levels are top notch and so is the interior quality. Rear head-room suffers due to sloping roof and ride is a bit unsettled over any surface. That said, the 1.4 diesel is the pick of the lot.

Hyundai's take on Maruti Alto 800, Eon simply could not live up to the expectations. The initial years saw a few issues like vibration in gear lever, etc. but it was quickly sorted out.

Grand i10 is another Hyundai success story in India. With good NVH levels and interior quality, the cabin ambiance is nice.

Xcent is a compact sedan based on Grand i10 and it has more or less the same traits. The boot is practical and usefully large, but the diesel engine's weak nature is further accentuated in larger car. Rear seat space is not bad. Clocking consistent numbers, but couldn't be as big a success in its segment as Grand i10 in its.

Successor to the legendary Gallardo, Huracan is surprisingly usable despite being an out and out super car. While offering monumental performance, Huracan's increased ease of use makes it feel having a bit less edgy character of past Lamborghinis.

Bolero lacks the modern touch one expects for an urban SUV and is quite outdated while lacking overall comfort.

Its a 4 door sports car for which one can choose from a variety of engines - 3.6-litre V6, a 4.8-litre V8 or 4.8-litre twin-turbo V8 petrols& a 3.0-litre V6 diesel. It is as fun to enjoy the ride in the back as it is to ride it. Top notch interiors and technologies with plenty of personalisation.
Renault
Duster

Rating 6.6/10  
Verdict
Good accomplished mid-SUV, has good diesel engines. Decently spacious cabin with boot space though premium feel is missing. Safety and features have improved. Refreshed recently, it's now available with a well tuned AMT, looks smarter and gave Duster a few more competitive years.
Fluence

Nice looking sedan by Renault with very sorted handling and driving characteritics though rivals offer more powerful engine than its 1.5 diesel engine with manual 6 speed though automatic would have been praised.
Kwid
Base Price :
2,60,468
Rating 6.6/10  
Verdict
A nice looking compact car and economically priced. Looks, decent ride and the recently introduced 1.0 litre engine are its forte. The steering is a bit dicey though. It has taken the entry level segment by storm gathering significant numbers considering Renault brand and its presence in India. The smart design helps its cause.
Lodgy
Base Price :
8,29,000
Rating 6.2/10  
Verdict
Spacious, practical and smartly priced motor car. Styling is boring but ride and handling are predictable. The 1.5 L diesel with 6 speed gear box does better job than the one with 5 speed. Though it's in Innova region, it misses its level of quality.

Practical city car with nice equipments for its segments still not the best. Diesel engine is better value for money. Styling is trendy.
Scala

Scala is nothing but sunny with renaults badge for its under body and kit. All 3 engine options are good yet diesel stands out and comes with practicality.

Ghost
Base Price :

Rating 8/10  
Verdict
Ghost is very identical to the phantom in terms of looks and other ascpets like performance and comfort too. It is powered by 6.6 petrol engine which more than required for this saloon to run away. It shares chassis with BMW 7 series, also its the cheapest RR making it a more affordable route into Rolls-Royce ownership.

"The Rolls-Royce Phantom redefined the entire luxury car market.

Its the perfomance car built for drivers by Rolls Royce. Its 6.6 petrol engine makes it very fun to drive around sharpest of corner with ease. Gives solid drive with RR standards interior and luxury. Can handle thoughest of mean driving tearing the roads apart. In a class of its own, the statement this car can make is matched by only a few. Epitome of luxury, charm and strong performace and accomplishment
Skoda
Octavia
Base Price :

Rating 7.5/10

Octavia has an elegant design which is likely to age gracefully with time. Engine lineup is powerful with both petrol and diesel coming with manual as well as automatic option. Feature loaded and lot more safety provided than its earlier version. This one has potential to shake up the segment.
Rapid
Base Price :
7,70,935
Rating 6.9/10  
Verdict
Spacious midsize sedan with strong engines and mature dynamics. The top variants are pricey and few gizmos might be missed. After Sales and Service network is undergoing a positive change, and the car's build is reassuring. Current finance schemes make it a very attractive deal.
Superb
Base Price :
25,13,019
Rating 7.7/10  
Verdict
Superb's new generation launched recently takes the game further in its segment. Nice design coupled with solid build, backed by strong petrol and diesel options, it offers space that rivals cars one or two segments above. Even with pricier top end variants, Superb delivers high on value. Inconsistent dealer experience could do with improvement.
Yeti
Base Price :
20,68,584
Rating 6.5/10  
Verdict
Under the skin is a stiff chassis and is powered by a strong, efficient diesel. The higher price means that Yeti is a slow selling model for Skoda. Looks a bit quirky; cheaper spares plus better after sales and service experience can help elevate the sales numbers.
Tata
Aria
Base Price :
10,49,274
Rating 6.2/10  
Verdict
Aria was initially marketed as a crossover, but under the skin it has a sturdy SUV chassis. Tata did tried to improve upon its initial high pricing, but Innova's image and reliability was too much to defeat. It's a competent people mover offering huge space and a comfortable experience. Size is way too big for cramped city roads and resale won't be as good as the segment leader.
Bolt
Base Price :
4,45,381
Rating 6.8/10  
Verdict
Another underrated car, Bolt has everything that should have made it a success. A higher price tag than market expectations is one of the reasons. There's nothing particularly wrong with the product as the ride and handling are quite good, cabin is spacious and built is strong as well. Tata's fit and finish have taken a huge, huge step forward which is evident in Bolt.

Rating 5.7/10  
Verdict
The original dream car by Ratan Tata that made the Indian tri-color proud in 1998, Indica continues to soldier on to this day. It does feel dated, but at the price point, its pretty much the standard fare. Drive qualtiy and interiors need to be moderanized for this car to survive for the next few years.
Indigo eCS
Base Price :
5,69,632
Rating 5.7/10  
Verdict
Indigo is the pioneer of compact sedan and was the first to have sedan derived out of hatch in India. A practical car which ideally should have been succeded by Zest. Strong cab market demand means its still on sale and very much in demand.
Nano
Base Price :
1,99,500
Rating 5.8/10  
Verdict
Nano came into existence as "The cheapest car in the world" which did not help its cause. However, with a host of recent improvements and now badged as Nano CX, it has become a serious player that offers an excellent urban commute. The added benefit of automatic variant means it's likely to win the respect of many first time car buyers.
Safari Dicor
Base Price :
8,99,078
Rating 5.6/10  
Verdict
Safari Dicor is still on sale after arrival of Safari Storme. The engine is strong but the dynamcis need improvment. However, the fantastic ride and seats make it a comfortable long distance car and high seating offers commanding view ahead. A decision by heart-over-mind for sure. Niggles were known to be sorted out in Safari Storme.
Safari Storme
Base Price :

Rating 6.2/10  
Verdict
Much improved Safari with significantly better ride and handling, more comfort and refinement and stronger motor. The fantastic comfort of rear seat was kept intact and Storme is known to have taken care of various other niggles that earlier Safari owners reported. Recently updated with a more powerful variant. Price should have been lower.
Sumo Gold
Base Price :
6,56,186
Rating 4.7/10  
Verdict
Newer Sumo, now called Sumo Gold, is updated version of Sumo. Robust built that can handle abuse, and presence due to its proportions can be matched only by a few at this price point. A few safety features if added in can enhance the appeal of Sumo Gold. Practicality along with low maintenance means it still finds new rural homes.
Tiago
Base Price :
3,20,000
Rating 7.2/10  
Verdict
Tiago is a product displaying how far ahead Tata has moved. Overall well finished, built well and has good space for the segment. Could be a game changer but the post sales and service experience has to be looked into. A value for money product that can revive the brand.
Xenon XT
Base Price :
9,95,753
Rating 5.9/10  
Verdict
A huge, imposing life style vehicle, Xenon XT offers strong performing motor. Comfort is good, so is the predicatable handling for a car of this size. Its a large car, so a bit tight fit into ever compressing urban spaces. The high seating position and large size are obvious advantages but it lacks modern touch.
Zest
Base Price :
4,88,414
Rating 6.9/10  
Verdict
Cover the badges on this car, and the fit and finish would make one feel as if this is a Europen or Japanese product. Fantastic seats, large cabin space and a car with switchable drive modes. Automatic diesel is also available. If we are nitpicking, the cabin storage space has to be worked upon and improvement in sales and service are probably the only factors holding the sales of Zest.
Toyota
Camry

An import, but the Camry offers effortless performance. Rear seat space and comfort are of a special mention here, so is the stunning refinement. Looks premium and offers fantastic ride which adds to the excellent comfort. If anything, its the price that is a high. Toyota's legendary reliability further adds to its appeal.
Corolla Altis
Base Price :
13,55,184
Rating 6.8/10  
Verdict
The current leader in its segment, Corolla Altis comes across as a car that offers best rear seat among its competitors. Large cabin, comfortable seat, good ride, predictable handling along all add up to a car which can be driven or be driven in. Corolla's image is built on longevity and reliability which are tough to beat.. Detailed safety kit and a bigger diesel engine are definitely needed in such a premium car.
Etios
Base Price :
6,48,760
Rating 6.6/10  
Verdict
With 2nd refresh in last 3 years, this is the most practical Etios yet. It's comfortable, mechanically solid and has decent safety kit for its price. Unimaginative appearance and few bits like stick out in an otherwise value-for-money preposition. Still a head-over-heart call.
Etios Cross
Base Price :
6,30,131
Rating 6.5/10  
Verdict
It's a Liva with a body kit, but surprisingly it looks better than Liva or even the well proportioned Etios. The higher price is difficult to justify over Liva, but still the Etios Cross does manage to find a new homes consistently.
Etios Liva
Base Price :
6,25,131
Rating 6.6/10  
Verdict
Liva has all the characteristics of Etios which includes good comfort, ride, dynamics, efficiency in diesel format and also carry forward the downsides such as centrally mounted instrument console along with single wiper. For a hatch, it has nicely shaped boot and is a practical buy. Buying Liva is never a decision from the heart or is it?
Fortuner
Base Price :
25,92,000
Rating 6.9/10  
Verdict
Current leader in its segment, Fortuner has a very tough build, offers strong performance and holds onto resale very well. However, the ride is lumpy and stiff, and the engine could have been more silent inside the cabin. A fantastic off-roader, the practicality and low ownership cost are tough to beat. Its just that price tag has gone up a wee bit too high.
Innova crysta
Base Price :
13,83,677
Rating 7.4/10

With Innova Crysta, Toyota has moved the game forward and how! Impressive motors, availability of auto gearbox, higher quality interiors that are segment best and dynamics which are even more mature. Priced at a premium, it's loaded with features and safety kit. A winner on Toyota's hand.
Land Cruiser 200
Base Price :

Rating 6.8/10  
Verdict
The mighty Landcruiser is one of the best offroader money can buy today. Large car, humungous space, a strong diesel V8 engine, gadgets that make even most difficult offroading easy, and best of all, incredible, monumental presence on the road. Price is on higher side, but then its one of the most reliable SUVs globally.
Land Cruiser Prado
Base Price :
88,80,517
Rating 6.7/10

Capable to dwarf even the mighty fortuner, Prado boasts of a huge cabin, comfort, ride and an extremely capable offroader. The price tag is high specially considering the relatively small engine. Only few cars come close to this car as an offroader and practical package.

Beetle
Base Price :

Rating 7.1/10  
Verdict
Making its presence feel over last 6 decades now! Classic yet ever ageing design with beautiful curve lines. Insanely pricey in India for its 1.4 liter motor which can be matched by even cars with half the price. But ride experience and dynamics cannot be matched let apart its untouchable snob value. Company claims this buggy car can not be rolled over!

Polo has great ride, handling and is built well too. Except the 3 cylinder petrol engine, every other engine is note worthy. The transmissions are also driver's delight. Interiors are classic and gives premium feel. However, the rear seat feels cramped. Plus, it lacks few creature comfort features.
Vento

Vento has a nice, clean design that ages gradually. The cabin is spacious with comfort to match. Also available in Turbocharged petrol with a quick dual clutch gearbox, it can be a fun to drive car too. Robust built, good ride, stable handling help Vento maintain its presence in a competitive segment.

All new S60 is made better by improving already class leading safety deapartment, better equipments and ergonomics. Though engines are good but misses the punch and cabin is bit plain and simple for its class. But its dedication for safety makes sense justifying the pricey tag.

V 40 Cross Country
Base Price :
27,00,000
Rating 6.9/10  
Verdict
A more practical variant based on V40 hatch, V40 cross country looks good enough to be a head turner. Very comfortable seats and good space, along with higher seating than V40 hatch make a difference in real world. Ride is stable and comfortable, handling is secure even at high speeds but it lacks 4 wheel drive system of any sort. Still, its a practical buy and also a nice long distance car offering quick performance for its class.

Fully equipped compact SUV giving solid performance and very comfortable but not the best one to drive around. It is also bit cramped in cabin space against the rivals. Engines could have been bit more powered. One of the safest cage moving on roads to be in with volvo safety equipments fitted.
XC 90
Base Price :
64,90,000
Rating 7.3/10  
Verdict
The gigantic SUV makes its presence felt with sharp design and classy interiors. Looks more elegant than its rivals and makes a strong statement as it tick boxes almost everything. Safety cannot be questioned even remotely. However the 2.0 litre diesel engine feels under powered for its segment and limited dealer network needs to be expanded.
