2026 Kia Seltos review. The Seltos is starting to step out from under the Creta’s shadow

It’s impossible to review the new Kia Seltos without first acknowledging the Hyundai Creta. Not because this is yet another sibling comparison, but because the Creta didn’t just become a bestseller — it became a reference point. A gravitational force that commanded entire segments around it. Sub-4m crossovers take inspiration from the Creta to look...

Could electric cars have a manual transmission?

This is the second video of a five part series where I’ve partnered with Formula E to answer questions about electric vehicles, and this topic was actually inspired by Renault’s season 2 Formula E car, which uses a 2-speed gearbox matched with a single transversely mounted electric motor. What’s super clever about their set up, is that they have incorporated a manual gear stick, using cables and rods to switch between the two gears, rather than the pneumatic paddle shifters which other teams were using. Renaults solution is simpler, and also lighter, as it doesn’t require onboard pumps or air-tanks for gear shifts. But could this be taken a step further, and incorporate a clutch as well for street cars? I spent some time chatting with the current Formula E champion, Lucas Di Grassi, who spends his free time engineering electric bikes, about this idea. We have two questions to answer: 1. Is it possible? 2. Is it logical?

This truck doesn’t exist in America - we bought it anyway

We fly to Dubai to buy a brand-new Land Cruiser 70 pickup that America never gets, expecting it to be bulletproof. Instead we discover nonstop problems - death wobble, broken hubs, four-low refusing to engage when we actually need it, and AC that barely exists in the desert. After pushing deeper into the Leewa dunes and limping back toward civilization, the trip turns into a lesson in how quickly a dream vehicle can become a liability. By the end, we realize the bigger story is not just the truck - it’s how hard it is to film anything wild in a place where the rules close in from every direction.

Govt scraps small car concessions in emission norms; Maruti seen most impacted

The revised rules will apply uniformly across all vehicles from April next year and aim to accelerate emission cuts and EV adoption.
