The Royal Enfield Himalayan is an odd design. The company says that while it wanted to do an adventure tourer, it didn’t want to go where the current segment is. The RE Himalayan, then, has a functional simplicity to it. There’s an almost industrial focus to the design which I find very appealing. And I have to mention here that the motorcycle looks a lot better up close and in the flesh than in the pictures. There are angles from which the Himalayan looks awkward or disproportionate, but by and large, it’s a handsome, spartan motorcycle that looks like a tool or a machine rather than the fancy, plastic-covered gargantua that pass for adventure tourers today.

The Renault Lodgy seems to have wiggled into a sweet spot in the crowded MPV market with the Lodgy. It blends space, comfort, good driving dynamics and strong performance into a convincing package. As a family car, this MPV is hard to beat. It makes for a happy companion, especially on holidays, thanks to its unmatched cruising ability and long fuel range. It’s not all perfect though. The quest to liberate as much room as possible has made the Lodgy a touch too boxy, which could be a deal breaker for some..

The Innova has been India’s favourite MPV ever since its launch more than a decade ago. Even in the face of newer, cheaper competition, the Innova managed to hold its own thanks to the supreme comfort and reliability the MPV offers

The Renault Duster is certainly accomplished, even though it can't seat seven people like the larger SUVs in the market and the fact that the interiors aren't too special.But viewed in totality, the Duster has a lot going for it. It looks smart, comes with a comfortable and spacious-enough cabin and is well-built too. The 108.5bhp diesel engine has ample pep for most occasions and also scores on fuel economy. The handling is predictable, but what most buyers will be interested in is the fantastic ride quality that is good enough to humble some more expensive saloons. All Renault needs now is to enhance its sales and service setup because, in the Duster, they have the ideal urban SUV for India.

Hyundai does its homework well with intense market research prior to developing a new car. The Xcent is proof of this approach, because it offers buyers almost all that they could want from a compact sedan. Its well-proportioned design and sizeable boot are just the start. You also get a well-equipped, high-quality cabin that is comfy, so long as you don’t routinely travel with five on board. Both petrol and diesel engines are also well suited to urban settings, and the light controls help here as well. Refinement is good and, to be honest, theres little room for serious complaint. Its only the unexciting driving experience and the diesels lack of punch that work against the Xcent, really. If those aspects dont bother you much, the well-priced Xcent makes a really fine choice of compact sedan. Lets hope Hyundai can meet the demand, because the Xcent has the makings of a big seller.

Hyundai Verna has always been among the most important products for the South Korean automaker.

Built on Hyundai's Fluidic design philosophy, the third-generation Verna set a new benchmark in all four departments - exterior styling, interior quality, safety and engine performance - especially the 1.6-litre diesel unit.

The Ford Figo Aspire is easily the best proportioned sub-4 metre car in India. It draws on the Ford global family look, which many says is aspired by... ah sorry, inspired by Aston Martin's design language. So there's a bold and large front grille, equally large head-lamps, and a clear stress on making the car look well-finished and rich in material terms. It is the same inside too; with better looking plastics and colours than the rivals. Equipment-wise too, the car is packed to the gills.

The two valves per cylinder head engine is not the most advanced motor in the world. That’s what the spec sheets say but out in the city, the Etios is immediately impressive. Initial engine response is good and there’s very little turbo-lag. Half-throttle responses are also good and the Etios ambles along at low speeds rather well. Even better is the engine’s linear power delivery and the good spread of torque. Mid-range performance is healthy and you have adequate passing power on tap.
