Renault Kwid! Did the facelift worth it?

Renault has launched their facelifted version of Kwid and the prices are starting from 2.86-4.84 lakhs which is less and more affordable than the new S Presso but more about it later. 1.Design: Design-wise there are some subtle changes like the new front grille, sharp tail-lamps, refreshed interiors and also now it gets some new blacked-out alloys to it. It also gets the DRL's now which look nice as well. Getting in we will notice the big 8.0-inch infotainment system that has both apple and android auto which is a great thing considering the price bracket it is in and also the rear seat now gets an arm-rest which is surprising.  2. Engines: Engines are the same 0.8lit and 1.0lit petrol engines that produce 53&67bhp of power as well but the thing is that Reno hasn't announced that they are BS-6 so BS-4 only but they have added a point that Sec i.e, smart efficiency control engines to provide more mileage to a litre. This is a bit sad considering its rival S Presso

Kia Seltos! The Best of both worlds?

It's 80% yes and 20% no because the other rivals are unable to touch it as it is offering more at less compared to what the competition is offering. I will explain it. Kia has launched the Seltos at a price range from 9.61-15.99 lakhs which is a very good proposition and what I like most about is that its a near-complete vehicle despite some backdrops it had and if they correct it with their facelift then there will be  no stopping Kia and now they are the best and biggest-selling in the compact SUV segment.  Now I will discuss the heading i.e, is it a complete SUV? As I said above its a yes almost and that's because the rest i.e, rivals like Hector, Harrier, Creta being the segment leader has lost its post and it has taken up by the Kia now with Seltos and it will continue as long as Hyundai does something wonderful and smart than what Kia did now. About the rivals, I will mention some simple lines which will realize us in some aspects and I do believe that there is

Maruti S Presso! Will Maruti impress the customers with this?

Maruti has launched their new vehicle namely the S Presso which they were calling mini SUV but I would say it a micro because mini or compact is same but this is different. Ok! Into the topic. 1. Looks: Design-wise it looks good I mean simple, small yet feels rugged while you look at it. It actually feels like kinda baby for Brezza and Alto. I am sorry if it's not like that for you but if you keenly observe it, the front looks brezzaish while the overall picture feels like a jacked-up alto in a good way. 2. Interiors: Well! They are good but can't say futuristic as it has the infotainment, instrumentation cluster, ac controls embedded into a single channel circle which takes inspiration from a mini but its good. Seats are good and the steering has no controls on it as we can't expect it in this anyway at this price point. Yeah! It looks good and I believe it will attract a lot of customers who are looking forward to buying a small car that looks SUV like and space
