It's raining SUVs here in India, and the latest to enter the ring for a bare-knuckled fight, is the Chinese-owned British carmaker – Morris Garages.

However, the wraps are finally off, and we're about to find out if the new feature-laden Hector has what it takes to deliver in the presence of rivaling SUVs, such as the Tata Harrier, Hyundai Creta, Nissan Kicks, Jeep Compass and the Mahindra XUV5OO, as our MG Hector review further reveals....  Let's talk about the aesthetics for a bit first.

We think MG has nailed it on this front, as Indians love chrome, be it on bikes or cars.

MG's idea was to have buyers hooked the moment they stepped into the cabin, and that, it does very well, thanks to that 10.4-inch infotainment screen that looks like the ones you've seen on recent Volvos.

However, what could've been better is the feedback of the touchscreen, as there is a bit of lag in terms of response.

Moving on, if we are to bring you an indepth MG Hector review, then we must talk about its segment leading equipment list.

In fact, a lot of competing manufacturers followed suit with their cars – starting with the all-new Maruti Suzuki Dzire, the Hyundai Xcent and Tata's Tigor. Inside the headlamps, the clusters get blacked-out detailing with chrome elements, but there are no projector headlamps and LED DRLs. Features of course, are at par with other cars in the segment – like electrically adjustable ORVMs, reverse camera and parking sensors, height adjustable driver seat and steering and Day/Night inside mirror, among a lot of other goodies. The new Aspire is powered by two engine options: a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder Dragon petrol unit from the Freestyle that makes 96bhp and 120Nm of torque, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine that produces 99bhp and 215Nm of torque. The oil-burner, on the other hand, feels impressively tractable and is quite torquey. Ride and handling is where the Aspire doesn't cease to flatter.

The Avenger is the first cruiser developed by an Indian company, it all started with the Eliminator- the 175cc cruiser by Kawasaki sold under the Bajaj name in India.

And today, with several changes and new engine options, the Bajaj Avenger 220 has been relaunched in three variants – Avenger 220 Cruise, Avenger 220 Street and Avenger 150 Street.

Our Bajaj Avenger 220 review further reveals…We had the Avenger 220 Street to test, which was the most interesting from the lot.

Talking about the Cruise 220, it is for those are looking for a touring motorcycle, it gets a pillion backrest, optional windshield, plenty of chrome and it priced identically as the Street 220.

The motorcycle is powered by a 219cc single cylinder motor that puts out 18.7bhp and 17.5Nm of torque mated to the same old 5 speed manual gearbox.

The engine is refined, packs a good punch but the throttle response is a little slow.

Something that is bound to give customers a taste of what the hot-hatch scenario will pan out in a few years from now.

We delve further into the details of our Tiago JTP car review in order to help you decide if it is what you've always wanted.

Powering the Tiago JTP is a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbocharged petrol motor, with a new intake and exhaust, revamped mapping and valve timings to give it a bump-up in horsepower.

The engine, in JTP guise, produces 112.6bhp and 150Nm of torque, with power being channelled to the front wheels via a tuned 5-speed manual gearbox.

Tata's performance wing - JTSV (Jayem-Tata Special Vehicles) claims a 0-100kph figure of 9.95 seconds for the little hatchback, as opposed to the regular car's 84bhp and 114Nm of torque as mentioned in our Tata Tiago review.

The Tiago JTP is a quick gun; of that there is no doubt, but the typical three-cylinder thrum is evident – and there is a subtle jerk in second and third gears, which we think could be the result of faulty fuelling.

Our experts test all kinds of two wheelers be it a fancy big sports bike, highway cruiser, mid-range street fighter or a commuter bike.

There are some bikes that are better than others and then there are some that leave a lasting impression, and we can definitely confirm that the Suzuki Lets left us an impression.

Our Suzuki Lets Review further reveals…The Suzuki Lets was sitting along with the Suzuki V-Strom in our driveway, but every time we had a chance to go outside, run some errands, our wheels of choice was the Suzuki Lets.

Coming to the specifications, the Lets is powered by a 112.8cc single cylinder motor that produces 8.7bhp and 9Nm of torque and the scooter weighs just 98kg, which helps the performance.

The engine is peppy and refined, the scooter accelerates quite nicely.

The CVT transmission is seamless and we even managed to touch 95km/hr on this scooter which puts even 125cc scooters to shame.Further in our Suzuki Lets Scooter review, handling this scooter is incredibly easy, the scooter is small and gives you the confidence that you can do anything with it.

Nissan has been lying low with their product line-up for a while now, with only the Micra and Terrano garnering interest from buyers.

However, Nissan seems to want to be a part of the action in the compact SUV market with an out-and-out plan devised for the next couple of years, in the hope that Nissan tastes success.

The Nissan Kicks is based on an updated version of the M0 platform that underpins the Renault Captur and Duster.

It has a nicely curved bonnet, a sloping nose and that signature V-shaped grille looks lovely.

What we found particularly classy is the fact the dashboard is wrapped in leather; it feels rather premium, although certain bits could've been better in terms of quality.

Its 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system is intuitive, and the semi-digital instrument cluster gets two pods: one for the tacho; the other for the fuel gauge.
