Motown India Magazine - January 2019

In this issue

Nissan India is finally bringing in the good looking Nissan Kicks in the SUV segment. Built on the Renault Duster platform, this vehicle has a lot of segment first features. We took it out for a drive in the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat and were thoroughly impressed by the vehicle. We also drove the face-lifted Isuzu mu-X, the large SUV from Isuzu Motors India. We have highlighted its pluses and minuses in our report. The MINI Countryman may not be a recently launched car but we got to drive it and have written about its very cool features.
Coming to motorcycles, we have a nine-page report on the Royal Enfield tour of North East. The ride lasted almost a week and we have Neeraj Panwar, our correspondent, writing about the fund ride he undertook on the RE Himalayan, a motorcycle which he loved riding through the scenic terrains of the different hill states.
The B2B pages also carry a lot of interesting reports. We have a mammoth ten-page report on the bauma Conexpo 2018, a construction equipment show that was held in Gurugram on the outskirts of New Delhi. We also got behind the wheels of the soon to be launched Eicher Pro 3016 AMT truck, a vehicle that is definitely going to revolutionise the medium duty truck segment in India.

Kick -Ass

When I come across any vehicle that calls itself an SUV I am tempted to take it on the road less travelled just to test it out whether it is a worthy SUV or not, even though it may not have any four wheel drive.
