-

The new Bajaj Chetak C25 is much more than just a new entry-level variant. This scooter is based on a new architecture and has been designed to take on a new role - one of being compact, lightweight and friendly for newer or smaller riders. Bajaj Chetak C25 design and quality 8/10 A new design, but instantly identifiable While there is a new chassis underneath, Bajaj’s design department has done a good job of retaining the Chetak’s design language in this new product. That being said, every panel has been redesigned and the bigger visual changes are at the side and rear. There are also new LED lamps at both ends. The design remains unmistakably Chetak Facing the rider is a new reverse LCD display.

-
Image
The Tata Punch Camo edition joined the Autocar India long-term fleet for a short stint as an everyday runabout. With a manual gearbox with a light clutch, a relaxed 1.2-litre petrol engine, impressive ride quality and a well-equipped cabin, it had all the right ingredients to be a good city car with hardly any downsides. The compact dimensions make it easy to drive in the city. The dual-tone Camo edition looks unique in its dark green shade, and inside, the seating position is also impressive as you sit relatively upright with a clear view of the road ahead, and all controls fall easily to hand. Over long days in traffic, this easy ergonomic setup really makes a difference. High seating position gives a great view all around. Powering the Punch is the familiar 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. It’s no highway star, but that’s not the point. In everyday city driving, the engine’s smooth power delivery and tractable nature make it very easy to live with. The light clutch and ...
