Lamborghini had a record run last year not just globally, with over 10,000 cars sold, but also in India where it crossed the 100-unit sales mark for the first time. Speaking to our sister publication Autocar Professional recently, Stephan Winkelmann, CEO of Automobili Lamborghini said, “India is still a small market, but it's developing very fast.”
The Volkswagen T-Cross for emerging markets – an SUV that shares its underpinnings and more with the Taigun sold in India – has just been given a mid-cycle refresh. The T-Cross has been on sale in Brazil since April 2019, about a year more than the Taigun has been available in India, and its facelift brings a few cosmetic changes outside and in, along with major feature updates. The T-Cross also gets a slightly shorter version for Europe, which got a facelift a few months ago.
India’s leading car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, is a force to be reckoned with where mainstream vehicles are concerned. But the company has had little success in niches like lifestyle SUV segment. For Australia, made-in-India 5-Door Jimny (sold there as Jimny XL) gets a new limited volume Heritage Edition with unique attributes.
The newly launched 2024 new-gen Maruti Swift has been given a complete overhaul, featuring a fresh design, a revamped cabin, and even a new three-cylinder engine. On the other hand, we have the Baleno which is larger and gets a proven four-cylinder engine. Let’s find out how the two hatchbacks stack up against each other:
Tesla is canceling Cybertruck delivery appointments for a number of buyers, citing an «unexpected delay,» according to Carbuzz. The site quoted a number of posts at the Cybertruck Owners Club forum on the topic. In some cases, at least, Tesla also appears to be offering no firm deadline for when deliveries will resume, for instance telling one forum poster that it will «reach out again when we’re able to get you back on the schedule.»
With a dip in sales in March and April, it is important to find the reasons for the slide. It is possible that Nexon’s own sibling, the Punch, could be responsible to some extent. Another factor could be the new Mahindra XUV 3XO that comes with multiple segment-first features. To improve competencies, Tata Motors is working to introduce some new updates for Nexon.

The Volkswagen GTI is in a strange spot these days, it must be said. On one hand, the name is iconic for good reason—one that VW itself realized just recently it shouldn't jettison in favor of whatever «GTX» is supposed to mean. On the other, the automaker no longer offers the prototypical hot hatch with a six-speed, and it's hard to predict what, if anything, the model has in store before VW ditches internal combustion engines entirely. It's very possible we've seen the GTI's best, on the eve of the nameplate's 50th birthday. Then again, a new teaser from the brand indicates that may not be the case.
