To be completely honest, when we first heard that Nissan was launching a new crossover we thought: “Oh so it’s probably going to be a new revamped version of the Juke”   Well, it turned out to be completely offbeat…  IN A GOOD WAY!           The all new “Kicks” has nothing to do with any of the current Nissan models, it has set a complete new identity for itself! This crossover beautifully settles between the Juke and the Qashqai, it’s larger than the Juke but still smaller than the...

 The very last hatchback Civic we saw from Honda was in the US in 2003 and now it’s throwing another one our way.  You already know it won’t be your average Civic! Honda has mixed it up a little with this one.   This Hatch is inspired by the Civic Type-R that was recently revealed at the Geneva motorshow so you can expect sportier and more compact looks on this one.   The sedan version of the Civic has captured the interest of many buyers over the years and Honda aims to make it to the...

So we kind of saw this one coming since Hyundai has already teased a preview of this model through the RN30 concept revealed in the Paris motor show last September… Well, minus all the bodywork of course.   Hyundai aims to enter the hot hatch market this year with this model hoping to compete with the Ford Focus and the Volkswagen Golf. It is set to go on sale in Europe in the second half of March 2017 (which is any day now).   The new body and facelift are not too dramatic, this model...

So we’ve got to admit that Nissan is being extremely bipolar when it comes to the identity of the Micra. One day it’s a supermini bubbly hatchback for your daily commuting and the next it’s a legitimate stylish sharp hatchback!   We bet you wouldn’t be able to find any common points between the new and the old Micra even if you tried. The new model is a major transformation compared to the previous Indian imported vehicle; it is designed in Tokyo/ London and built by Renault...

With the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace, BMW X3 and the Porsche Macan, the Cadillac XT5 has got some vigorous well-established competition to put up with!   As you may know, the XT5 is the new replacement of the Cadillac SRX but with lots of new improvements to the look and feel of the vehicle. The XT5 is about 127 Kg lighter than its ancestor; the handling has improved a whole lot due to less weight in the chassis.   The suspension and brakes upgrade are guaranteed to give you a smoother ride.

For the past 5 years KIA has been dropping teasers about a sporty sedan in the works and it’s finally here. KIA has finally unveiled the production body for its rear-wheel-drive performance vehicle.   Design:       The design is actually pretty neat, it’s got the typical KIA “tiger nose” radiator grille to start with but its sharp muscular profile doesn’t look like anything KIA has ever produced before.   It’s sharply sloping rear end and spoiler lip kind of looks familiar… almost...

The Chevy Camaro has always been referred to as an American Muscle Car ever since it first went on sale in 1967. To be quite honest our test drive on the 2017 Camaro SS V8 kind of shattered that image (in a good way), it now stands as a full on sports car!      Watch The Full Review Of The 2017 Camaro SS     The new Camaro generation is significantly lighter than the previous generation car to begin with and Chevrolet is giving you the freedom to choose between a V6 and a V8...
