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.
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.
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.
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.
