So this is an inexplicable move from Mahindra. The brand was clear in its commitment to safety. And this move seems to be a few kms in reverse! SVP #Bolero #BoleroNeo

Had a busy day, so I couldn’t post abt this earlier - but yes the Nissan Tekton is big news. The Duster based SUV will arrive before mid 2026. Promises visual width, cabin space, lots of tech as the name suggests... Will be a Creta rival - meaning Compact SUV. Thoughts ppl? SVP

3rd gen #AudiQ5 is efficient, bold + manages to carry over previous gens’ comfort, handling & other strengths. Plus a new design language. Looks good in Navarra Blue though the alloys aren’t so sexy. Covered over 600 kms. Fun! India will get it next year. Review sooner! lol SVP
