New Hyundai i20 Launch Date Inches Closer

After being spotted at dealerships, with some even taking unofficial pre-launch bookings, the third-gen i20 is all set to launch by the first week of November. Hyundai’s premium hatchback looks quite identical to its European counterpart, but is that it? Find out here.

The Newest Humvee Is Also The Greenest

The revival of the Hummer tag by GMC gets all the power output bragging rights, but with a catch. The latest version of the Hummer sees the bulky gasoline burners replaced by three electric motors which combine to produce 1000PS. Yes, the new Hummer is all-electric, and yes, it can ‘walk’ sideways. Take a look here.

India will see its first domestically assembled Mercedes-Benz AMG model launch on November 3. The GLC 43 Coupe will be the first CKD (completely knocked down) AMG and will carry a price tag of Rs 80 lakh (ex-showroom). That’s Rs 17.30 lakh more than the standard model. For more details, head here.
