Engine downsizing is now the new normal. The big numbers, V12s and V8s are all on their way out, making room for smaller capacity engines. The latest, arguably one of the most controversial entrants to this list, is the 2023 Mercedes-AMG C63 S E-Performance that ditches a throaty V8 for an electrified 4-cylinder but with more power than ever.
Sedans are a dying breed. It is no more a myth but a harsh reality that we face. But the three-box is not going anywhere that easily. A stately sedan is still the ultimate status symbol in multiple global markets. And 2023 Hyundai Azera, known as the Grandeur in South Korea, is the brand’s attempt to throw some action into this market.
BMW Z4 goes through a Life Cycle Impulse, or as we, the common folk, call it, a facelift. The current generation of the Z4 came in 2020, and BMW is giving it a nip and tuck in the form of upgraded exterior design and more equipment.
BMW has revamped its X7 SUV, and the key change among its raft of updates is a radical new four-eyed face that brings the jumbo-sized crossover in line with its ultra-luxo siblings (the recently revealed 7 Series/i7 and XM performance SUV).

Mitsubishi is nowhere near what it once used to be, years ago. In most markets, the once star-studded line-up has been whittled down to mostly economy cars and crossovers. Mitsubishi ASX is one of the volume sellers for the brand and as the time has come to revive it for a new generation, they have turned to their partner brand for help. And here it is, the 2023 Mitsubishi ASX.
XQuarry is back for its second season which kicked off on 24th September with the first of several free drive experiences.
The month of September passed us, leaving a few automotive recalls. Here is a list of all recalls that were announced in the past month.
Ferrari recently rolled out its blisteringly fast 296 GTB hybrid V6-powered supercar and – predictably enough – in its wheel-tracks comes the 296 GTS, which uses the same core ingredients as its sibling but adds alfresco (open-air) cruising capability to the mix.
Six regional artists have set out to reframe the conversation around road traffic accidents, by depicting the raw emotions of accident victims in their latest works. Drawing inspiration straight from the source, OnStar, the pioneering in-vehicle safety and security technology from General Motors, offered the talent access to powerful accident visuals and unedited emergency calls, which reflect in the thought-provoking pieces.
