https://ift.tt/3jzDn5I The government's relentless drive to improve road and vehicle safety in India witnessed dual airbags becoming mandatory for all new cars starting from April 2021, and for existing models from December this year. And while Indian road users are becoming increasingly aware of higher automotive safety standards, the government too seems to be in sync by providing the necessary push. Recently, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, urged manufacturers to roll out six airbags as a standard feature and up the safety quotient in their passenger vehicles. While most cars and SUVs are offered with dual airbags as standard, and six airbags still feel like a novel feature, here we take a look at all mass-market carmakers who currently offer six or more airbags on vehicles priced under Rs 40 lakh.

The fuel-tank is now larger, at 13.7 litres, thus addressing one of the prominent shortcomings of the outgoing model. Earlier spy pictures revealed that these new RCs feature more relaxed ergonomics, but what’s new is that the heig

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J Buying and maintaining a car is expensive. You cannot risk an accident or damage and pay out of pocket each time. If this happens, a car will become an unaffordable liability better left for the affluent. Buying an insurance policy comes with several considerations, and the premium on policy also varies depending upon the type of car you own. Impact of car type on the third-party premium cost The third-party car insurance is the legally required part of car insurance. If you meet with an accident, and need to compensate the victim (either third party or need treatment yourself), the insurance company, rather than the owner (that is, you), will pay the amount. The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal awards hefty compensation and, therefore, third-party insurance ensures that the victim receives this money without burdening the vehicle owner. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) regulates this process. The regulatory body also declares p

https://ift.tt/38psGw7 A few years ago, Benelli showcased the 502 cruiser to the entire world. There were collective gasps back then as its styling was considered a blatant rip-off of the hallowed Ducati Diavel. A scaled down model if you will. But there’s far more to a motorcycle than just the way it looks, and as we discovered over the course of our time with it, there’s more to this Benelli than meets the eye. Benelli 502C: design   The positive side of the heavy benchmarking is that Benelli picked a motorcycle that’s become a bit of a modern style icon. That being said, it’s not a complete carbon copy and Benelli has added in a few of its own design elements, and some of these are quite quirky.  Take the LED headlamp for instance – the DRL’s shape reminds me of the mask you see in Scary Movie. Move to the side and the silhouette is highly reminiscent of the xDiavel, down to the placement of the pillion backrest. In fact, Benelli even gave it a Diavel-matching 1,600mm wheelbase,

https://ift.tt/38nVdlL The 0-100kph test is a universally acclaimed measure of a car’s performance and the yardstick with which geeks and enthusiasts judge cars. But in the real world, it’s bursts of 0-40kph from one traffic light to another or a surge from 10-30kph to keep up with the congestion that really matter. And, after living with our Vitara Brezza for over six months now, this compact SUV performs exactly where it matters. It’s nice and brisk off the mark, part-throttle response is really good, and in fact, this responsiveness at slow speeds, which I have begun to take for granted, was appreciated more after the Brezza played support car for our Kushaq review. The truth is that Skoda’s much-vaunted 1.0 TSI engine and six-speed auto simply didn’t feel as sprightly in heavy traffic as the Brezza’s relatively large 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine which, despite being mated to a lazy four-speed auto, reacted faster to throttle inputs.
