| Pros | Cons |
| It stands out from the standard i20 thanks to its aggressive styling and unique touches. | It is still an expensive hatchback, despite being reasonably priced when compared to the i20 Asta variant. |
| powerful 1.0 turbo-petrol engine that can produce 118 BHP. | It’s ridiculous to offer an iMT on the i20 N Line instead of a proper MT! |
| The i20 N Line has a pleasant exhaust note, weighted steering, paddle shifters, and a firm but supple suspension. | Initial lag is evident in the 1.0L DCT variant. In any case, it’s not as powerful as VW’s 1.0 Tur. |
| The interior is livelier with a tasteful N Line-only steering wheel, gear selector, red accents, etc. | In contrast to the more muted styling of earlier generations, the third-generation i20 can have strong opinions. |
| The extensive list of features includes wireless charging, voice-activated sunroof, LED projectors, cruise control, and more. | In terms of power and handling, more akin to a warmed-up hatchback than a “hot hatch” like an Abarth Punto |

| Pros | cons |
| The Land Rover Discovery has earned a strong reputation for its impressive off-road prowess. It comes equipped with advanced four-wheel-drive systems, adjustable air suspension, and various terrain response modes, making it capable of handling challenging terrains with ease. | Land Rover vehicles, including the Discovery, have had reliability and durability issues in the past. While the brand has worked on improving reliability, it’s important to research the specific model year and take into account potential long-term maintenance costs. |
| The Discovery offers a spacious and comfortable interior with three rows of seating, making it suitable for larger families or groups. The cabin materials and build quality are generally luxurious, providing a premium feel. | Larger SUVs like the Discovery typically have lower fuel efficiency due to their size and weight. If fuel economy is a top priority for you, this might be a drawback |
| The vehicle’s configurable seating layout and ample cargo space make it versatile for various uses, whether you need to transport passengers, luggage, or a combination of both. | The Land Rover Discovery is positioned as a luxury SUV, which means it generally comes with a higher price tag compared to non-luxury competitors. |
| Towing Capacity:** The Discovery has a substantial towing capacity, making it a practical choice for those who need to tow trailers, boats, or other heavy loads | The advanced technology and off-road systems in the Discovery can be complex and might take some time to fully understand and utilize. This could potentially lead to a steeper learning curve for some drivers. |
REVIEWS & VIDEOSToyota Innova Crysta 2.4 G 8 STR
| pros | cons |
| This, the top of the line ZX trim comes with captain seats for the second row. So it has seating for two up front, two in the middle, and three in the last row. | There is wind and road noise, and over poor roads, one can hear and feel the suspension as well. |
| The Innova isn’t just great at moving people, it’s practical in other ways too. If you have just four people and a lot of luggage, the last row can be folded up, liberating enough space to throw in many bags. | There’s no soft-touch plastic anywhere. And the operability doesn’t give you that sense of engineering finesse one expects at this price point. |
| This 2.8-litre diesel is of the same mould. Only with more power and torque. It makes a little over 170bhp and a handsome 360Nm of torque. | It also misses out on a few features, and the ones that it packs in could have been better executed. Like the multimedia touchscreen. |
| The Innova Crysta also gets to 100kmph in a quick time. And in the sixth, at 100kmph, the engine is barely turning over 1500rpm, making the drive calm and unhurried, and undemanding. | The Innova has its negatives, but not enough to eclipse its merits. And these are very compelling merits. |
REVIEWS & VIDEOSToyota Camry
The price range for the five-seater Toyota Camry sedan is Rs. 46.17 Lakh*. There is only one version available, with a 2487 cc engine and one Automatic transmission. The Camry’s curb weight of 1665mm and boot capacity of 524 Liters are two more important specs. There are seven color options for the Camry. More than 104 user reviews for the Toyota Camry are based on factors like mileage, performance, price, and overall user experience.
| pros | cons |
| The main source is the 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine that makes 176bhp and 221 Nm of torque. Combined with the electric motor, the total adds up to an impressive 220bhp. | Another reason why most owners would love spending time in the back seat is that the Camry isn’t really the car to enjoy spirited driving. |
| As expected, in electric mode, the Camry is eerily silent. In fact, one can only hear the engine under full bore acceleration when the CVT gearbox gets the rev-counter swinging. | As you can see, this is a pretty good-looking dash, but look deeper and you will notice some flaws. |
| The 18-inch wheels, too, are brilliant to look at. Overall though, the Camry Hybrid has a well-balanced look and there is no denying that it is a big car. | With all that weight and those big dimensions, the Camry is better enjoyed cruising the highways in comfort. |
REVIEWS & VIDEOSHonda City Hybrid
The five-seater sedan Honda City Hybrid is priced between Rs. 18.89 and Rs. 20.39 lakh*. There are two versions available: a single Automatic transmission and a 1498 cc engine. The City Hybrid’s curb weight of 1261–1280 kg and boot capacity of 410 liters are two more important specifications. There are six colors available for the City Hybrid.
| Pros | Cons |
| 20+ km/l fuel economy in city driving conditions, giving it lower running costs than a diesel! | Honda City Diesel will give you comparable running costs at a far lower price |
| Seamless Hybrid system that makes driving a breeze. A car you will enjoy driving in traffic | Honda Sensing ADAS system is too intrusive for Indian highways; requires the driver to adapt to it and be comfortable using it |
| Tractable power unit that delivers performance on par with internal combustion counterparts | Missing features for this price point = powered seats with ventilation, rear side sunblinds, wireless charging… |
| Loaded with safety tech such as ‘Honda Sensing’ consisting of lane keeping assist, lane departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, auto high beam, collision mitigation braking system as well as ESP, 6 airbags, and a lane watch camera | We’re worried about the price. Honda is usually optimistic with pricing, and there is no lower variant without the ADAS features |

| Pros | Cons |
| Comfortable even over bad roads. | The premium experience was let down by quality issues like poorly fitting panels, mushy switches, and flimsy stalks. |
| Feels premium because of class-leading safety and convenience features. | Small boots will be a hassle if it’s the only car in the family. |
| Stable and fun to drive because of the steering and good grip. | Cramped footwell, no space for a dead pedal for the driver |
| Overtaking on highways is easy, thanks to a punchy diesel engine. | Not the most spacious or comfortable backseat in the class |
