For Automobili Lamborghini, 2026 isn’t just another year on the calendar—it is the start of “Phase Two” for the Raging Bull. Following the successful hybridization of its entire core lineup (the Revuelto, Urus SE, and Temerario), CEO Stephan Winkelmann has officially confirmed that the brand will debut four new models over an eight-month span in 2026. This aggressive product offensive is designed to diversify the brand’s portfolio. Instead of entirely new nameplates, 2026 will focus on “derivatives”—specialized versions of existing models that push the boundaries of open-top driving and track-focused performance. The “Four Cars, Four Bodies” Strategy Winkelmann has been…

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the ultra-luxury automotive sector, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has officially scrapped its high-profile pledge to become a fully electric brand by 2030. The announcement, made by CEO Chris Brownridge on March 18, 2026, marks a dramatic U-turn for a brand that, only four years ago, claimed it would leave the internal combustion engine (ICE) behind forever. For the world’s most elite car buyers, this isn’t just a corporate strategy shift; it’s the preservation of a mechanical legacy. The iconic 6.75-litre twin-turbocharged V12—the silent, effortless “heart” of the Phantom and Cullinan—has been granted a…

Tata Motors has just made a high-voltage move to dominate the premium electric SUV space. On March 21, 2026, the carmaker officially expanded its flagship EV lineup by introducing a more accessible all-wheel-drive (AWD) option. The new Harrier EV Fearless+ QWD 75 variant is priced at ₹26.49 lakh (ex-showroom), effectively slashing the entry price for Tata’s dual-motor technology by a substantial ₹2.5 lakh. Until now, the high-performance Quad Wheel Drive (QWD) system was exclusive to the top-tier ‘Empowered’ trim. By bringing this capability to the ‘Fearless+’ persona, Tata is targeting enthusiasts who prioritize “go-anywhere” performance over ultra-luxury bells and whistles.…

If you’ve been eyeing a new Tata SUV or hatchback, you might want to finalize that booking before the month ends. Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. (TMPV) has officially announced a marginal price revision across its entire internal combustion engine (ICE) portfolio, effective from April 1, 2026. The company confirmed that the weighted average increase will be approximately 0.5%. While this may seem like a modest adjustment, it marks another calibrated step by India’s leading SUV manufacturer to balance rising operational costs with market competitiveness. Why Are Prices Going Up? Automakers rarely enjoy raising prices, but the current economic climate…

Skoda has finally pulled the covers off the Kushaq facelift in India, and this time it feels like a proper upgrade — not just a minor refresh. Launched at a starting price of ₹10.69 lakh (ex-showroom) and going up to around ₹18.99 lakh, the updated Kushaq is now aiming straight at heavyweights like the Creta and Seltos — but with a stronger premium vibe. So what’s actually new? And which variant makes the most sense? Let’s break it down. What’s New in the Kushaq Facelift? The changes aren’t revolutionary, but they’re exactly what buyers were asking for. Exterior Updates It still looks like a…

Skoda Auto India is preparing for a massive weekend. Ahead of the official price announcement on March 21, 2026, the first drive reviews of the updated Skoda Kushaq Facelift have confirmed that this is far more than a simple cosmetic “nip and tuck.” While the mid-size SUV segment has become increasingly crowded with the arrival of the new Renault Duster and Tata Sierra, Skoda has doubled down on its core strength: sophisticated European engineering. The 2026 refresh focuses on solving the previous model’s feature gaps while introducing a segment-first mechanical upgrade that changes the driving character of its most popular…

Volkswagen has officially pulled back the curtain on its most significant electric vehicle for the mass market: the Volkswagen ID Cross. Previewed yesterday, March 18, 2026, in its near-production form, this compact SUV is set to become the electric spiritual successor to the T-Cross (and our local Taigun). Built on the newly evolved MEB+ platform, the ID Cross is designed to bring premium EV technology down to a more accessible price bracket, with a global starting price targeted at approximately €28,000 (roughly ₹25–28 lakh). Battery & Range: Two Flavors of Efficiency Unlike the larger ID.4, the ID Cross focuses on…

The legendary Sierra nameplate has just added its most important accolade yet. On March 17, 2026, Bharat NCAP (BNCAP) officially released the crash test results for the all-new Tata Sierra, awarding the SUV a perfect 5-star rating for both Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) and Child Occupant Protection (COP). This result solidifies Tata Motors’ position as a safety leader in India, making the Sierra the 10th vehicle in the brand’s stable to achieve the coveted five-star honors. Crucially, the rating applies to all variants manufactured from March 2026 onwards, across petrol, diesel, manual, and automatic versions. Breaking Down the Scores The…

The return of the Renault Duster has sent shockwaves through the Indian automotive market, but the biggest surprise isn’t the competitive ₹10.49 lakh starting price. Instead, it is the overwhelming—and somewhat unexpected—demand for the Duster E-Tech Strong Hybrid. Just 24 hours after the official price reveal on March 17, 2026, Renault India confirmed that the hybrid variant is already sold out for the entire year. Bookings for the electrified trim have been temporarily paused as the company works to ramp up production at its Chennai facility to meet a surge that surpassed all internal projections. The Urban Shift: Metro Markets…

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect moment” to trade your petrol engine for a silent, electric powertrain, the clock is officially ticking. As the 2026 financial year draws to a close, Tata Motors has launched its “Mega March Carnival,” offering the most aggressive discounts seen in the Indian EV space to date. Valid until March 31, 2026, these benefits are designed to clear out existing inventory and help the brand maintain its 43% market share amidst growing competition from Mahindra and JSW MG Motor. The Headliner: ₹3.8 Lakh Off the Tata Curvv.ev The most shocking figure in this month’s…
