From Showroom Specs to Bhilai Reality: The Porsche Macan EV as an Unlikely Daily Workhorse
My journey to the Macan EV began not with a desire for silent luxury, but with a spreadsheet. As someone who shuttles between industrial hubs like Bhilai and Raipur, the math of luxury SUV ownership had become unsustainable. The final straw was the 2025 BS6.2 norms, which, while cleaner, made servicing my previous German petrol SUV a wallet-emptying event every few months. I was deep into comparin...

1 month agoShifting Gears: How the BMW i7 Made a Petrolhead Rethink Electric "Boring" in central India
Let's be real, folks. For someone who lives for the snarl of a V8 and the crisp throw of a gear lever, the idea of a three-tonne electric sedan as a 'performance' vehicle was laughable. My garage in South Mumbai has always been home to the loud and the proud—machines with soul you could hear. So, when the debate about electric luxury heated up with the Mercedes EQS and Lucid Air making waves, my f...

As a car enthusiast who cut his teeth on the muddy tracks near Pune and now navigates the city's "pothole absorption" challenges daily, my search for a new family car was a tug-of-war. I was set on a capable, traditional SUV for those weekend escapes to the Sahyadris. The MG Hector Plus and Tata Safari were on the shortlist—solid, familiar choices. But then, the EV wave, with its silent...

As a tech-savvy early adopter, the promise of built-in navigation in my Tata Harrier was a significant draw. The idea of a seamless, integrated system that projects directions onto the digital cluster and offers real-time traffic seemed like the future. However, after several months and thousands of kilometers navigating the labyrinthine roads of Bangalore—from the choked tech corridors to weekend...

1 month agoThe "Forgotten" Sedan: Three Years & 55,000 km with my Toyota Yaris
Let’s be honest. When you think Toyota in India, you think Innova or Fortuner. Maybe the Glanza. Nobody thinks of the Yaris. I bought one in 2021. My friends said, "Why not a City or a Verna?" I said, "Let me try the quiet one."I run a small business that has me driving across the city daily, with monthly highway runs to Mumbai and Nashik. This is the story of a car that nobody asked for...

In our city, a bike isn't just a machine. It's a negotiation. You negotiate with the potholes of Behala, the sudden downpour on the EM Bypass, and the eternal question of parking near New Market. The Hero Xpulse 210 walks into this scene not as a streetfighter, but as a practical philosopher. It’s not the fastest thing to Shyambazar, but it might be the smartest. After many adda&nbs...

Let's be straight. Right now, the Suzuki e-Vitara is a ghost. A very pretty, very promising ghost that you see in magazine pictures and concept car videos. In the real world, where we need to get to work and take the family to the doctor, it doesn't exist yet. So all this "news" and "insight"? It's just us trying to predict the future. But in a market filling up with electric promises, this one ma...
