Weekend Drive by Hormazd Sorabjee: The BMW i5 has practical magic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Luxury sedans are alive and well in India. Petrol or diesel, regular or long wheelbase, there’s plenty to choose from. Go electric, though, and the choice dwindles. Every luxury maker is bringing in electric SUVs, which leaves the BMW i5 in a class of one. Like the i7, it has no competition, and at ₹79.60 lakh it neatly fills the gap between the iX1 and the flagship. It’s a big car. The wheelbase has been stretched 110mm to 3,105mm and the length is 5,175mm, which makes it larger than the E-Clas

The electric iX1 has been a quiet sensation for BMW in India. Stretched for extra legroom and priced sharply, it ran away with the luxury EV market almost as soon as it landed. Now, BMW is betting the same trick will work with petrol power. Enter the X1 Long Wheelbase, a stretched version of its smallest SUV, aimed at buyers who spend more time being driven than driving and don’t want to be slaves to a plug. The stretch is cleverly disguised. The X1 LWB is longer than the regular car, with nearl

Audi has finally gone big. Really big. The new Q9 is the largest car the brand has ever built, a three-row luxury SUV that sits at the top of the range. And, with the A8 limousine gone, it’s the new flagship. To put the dimensions in perspective, it is 5.3 metres long (a full 25cm longer than the already large Q7), wider and taller too. This is a proper class jump, one that finally gives Audi an answer to the Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7. It looks the part: Imposing proportions, a massive grille
Weekend Drive by Hormazd Sorabjee: A roaring rebirth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Has there ever been a reset like this in 140-odd years of the automobile? Brands have pivoted and reinvented, but no carmaker with nine decades of history has ever stopped everything, walked away from the petrol engines it spent 90 years honing into an art form, and started again with a blank sheet of paper. That’s what Jaguar has done. The XE, XF, F-Pace, F-Type — all gone. No petrol, no diesel, not even a hybrid safety net. Just one new car (to start with), pure electric. That car is the Type
Weekend Drive by Hormazd Sorabjee: A test of horse power (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Somewhere in the folds of the Western Ghats, where the Mumbai-Pune Expressway slips off at Lonavala into quieter country, a piece of land is being reshaped into what will, by this time next year, become Maharashtra’s first racetrack. To call it just a race track undersells the ambition. What is coming up here, at the Nanoli Stud Farm, is closer to a race resort, where cars are not just driven but lived with. The Dhunjibhoy family set up the Nanoli Stud and Agricultural Farm in the early 1990s. K
