New Cars in India 2024

It’s amazing speed pick up and way of braking system its same like expensive cars

Ever since I got my hands on the Mahindra Thar, it has been an exhilarating journey of discovering landscapes I never thought I would explore. This beast, with its 2.2 liter mHawk diesel engine pushing out 130hp is unapologetically powerful and ready to tackle the most challenging terrains. The 4x4 capability makes it a dream for off road enthusiasts like myself.However, driving through city traffic in the Thar is where the romance slightly fades.The heavy steering and the firm suspension setup, while perfect for rugged terrains and uncomfortable on urban roads.

Driving the Tata Punch feels like Tata Motors took a good hard look at what Indian drivers need and delivered just that compact, efficient and stylish. What immediately grabs attention is the Punch’s robust design which stands out with its SUV like stance. The rear space for instance feels cramped for taller passengers. Performance enthusiasts might also find the engine lacking especially on highways where it struggles to keep up with higher speed demands. Despite these for urban dwellers looking for a dependable, stylish and safe vehicle the Tata Punch punches well above its weight although with a couple of reservations.

Owning a Hyundai Creta has been a dream for many myself included. What enhances the driving experience is its mileage which around 21 kmpl making it a practical choice for both city drives and highway rides. The Creta's pricing can be a obstruction for many. Starting from a base price that's considerably higher than some of its competitive it demands a premium. Another concern has been the steering feedback which feels somewhat muted at higher speeds. Coupled with the cost it is something that potential buyers from a value sensitive market like India will definitely consider over.

The Mahindra Scorpio has been with me for a year now and it has been an adventure from the get go. It has the rugged looks and commanding road presence that won me over initially. Powered by a 2.2 liter diesel engine that churns out 140 horsepower, it got enough power for both city driving and off road escapades. The ride can get bouncy, especially on poor roads and handling is not its strongest suit reflecting its age old design philosophy. Mahindra has made efforts to modernize the Scorpio with a touchscreen infotainment system and reverse parking camera.
