Audi e-tron 55 | Easy, Practical & Fast | Electric SUV

 Hi guys and welcome to another blog,

Today I'm writing about the all new Audi's electric SUV. The Audi E-Tron.



Lets start with the key, so the key gets 3 buttons for lack, unlock and to open the tail gate of the car, the key gets Audi logo with gloss black and metallic silver treatment



Looks

At the front, there is a fronk means front part of the car with a trunk as it is a electric car. The fronk gets hydraulic strut, and a small storage space for the charger and owners manual. It also gets light and a 12-volt charging socket with no insulation under the hood as its a very silent of a car, It doesn't need it actually.



Anyways the design of these car is the typical Audi affair with a large grill. E-tron written at the front, difficult to read. It got a green color number plate as its a EV. Under the Audi logo is the front parking camera you got front parking sensors and grill is done with a silver finish as well. And lower half of the bumper gets skid plate sort of treatment with small grill to cool the batteries. Meanwhile at the sides their are functional air vents which draws in air to the wheel for more aerodynamics, of course electric cars need to be aerodynamically efficient to save the battery and the range. At the front itself you got the towing hook along with headlamp washer and the lights are supper bright as it happens to be the Audi digital matrix light with LED DRLs with bi-functions as a dynamic swipe indicator again looks supper duper nice at night.

                                 

Even when standing still, car looks fast. These car gets 20 inch wheels with yellow colored brake calipers, E-tron written there to. And in both the front fenders it gets the charging ports makes it extremely practical to charge. Meanwhile this car is based on Audi Q5 but is bigger and wider than that means it has more space on offer inside. At lower part there is again gloss black treatment. And it got air suspension, means you can increase it or decrease it if you so wish. This car gets request sensors on all the four doors with puddle lamps and cameras under the ORVM. It also has silver roof rails, black finish on the B-pillar and C-pillar with chrome surround around the window area.



Coming to the rear part the first thing attracts you are the lights, they are really fab in terms of design with dynamic swipe indicators and a long and thin light at the center which connects both the lights. Underneath there is black and silver finish of course to reduce the visual bulk and there is no exhaust still there is such treatment like exhaust at the rear.



Let us open the boot, it gets electric tail gate with a massive boot with plenty of hooks and handles a 12-volt charger and lights. Under it there is the spare wheel which is a space saver and not an alloy to. At rear itself there are buttons to fold the 2nd row of seat into 60:40 ratio. 



Getting in the rear seats 1st thing is the doors get hard plastic at the top also in the bottom to with large bottle holders with soft touch at the arm rest on the door along with silver finish at the ambient light placements. These also has manually adjustable Sun blinds with one touch up and down power windows. Seats are good but could have a better recline angle. There are 3 adjustable headrest with a center arm rest along with cup holders and space to keep papers. 



At the rear there is no floor hump and the AC vents are at the center and at the B-pillar as well, at the central console it got controls for AC, as of course it got 4 zone climate control. And under is a USB C sockets for charging and seats also gets magazine holders with mobile holder too. 

At the front the door gets typical VW switch gears to operate ORVMs, window and for child locks. under it get big bottle holders too with memory function only for the driver seat, Both the front seats got electric adjust. Paddle area is quite neat and is very basic with a dead paddle and all is finished in rubber, but hard plastics are in plenty in this car. And there is a secret storage space for the driver and headlight control at above too. The seats look quite comfortable and they are huge. The overall look of the cabin is really nice other than the fact of hard plastic which are in plenty here which is very disappointment at this price point. The glove box is of decent size with a light and a pen holder too. 


At the top you get sun visors with mirrors and lights, there are plenty of lights in this car and are touch sensitive in that regard. There are controls for sun roof of the car which is a panoramic one but of decent size not very big as in the Harrier or the Safari. At the central console you have 2 screens one is for infotainment and other is for climate control with various other functions like down hill assist, heads up display, defogger etc. Gear lever is pretty good to hold and is massive, when you go to reverse it shows the camera view with adaptive guidlines and there is a button for park assist the basic driver assist system with sensors nothing much fancy as such, Nice looking screen for sure with gloss black finish which is a finger print magnet but gets Audi dynamic controls, 30 ambient light options, car details and with a nice map as well. The 360° is just awsome  but shows a car of different color. 


This Audi virtual cockpit is even better with all bells and vessels, it shows nice graphics every time while turning on the car. Also you can change the view according to your taste and give the basic information like trip data, range, charge in the battery maps and two dial or one dial options. 


Steering looks similar to Hyundai Creta as Hyundai copied Audi not Audi copied Hyundai in that regard. It for electric adjust for the steering and there are stocks for cruise control, wipers and headlights, In terms of storage there is wireless charging pad with 12-volt socket and with USBs with big cup holders and arm rest again with storage in it. 

And the overall ambient is really good and the AC vents do remind me of the Tiguan All Space. With a perfume inside it as well.

Performance 

Powering this car are two electric motors one at the front and another at the rear with 95 Kwh battery it makes 170 Hp at front axle and 190 Hp at rear,  produces 664 Nm of torque all that comes from 0@RPM and the combine power output is 408 Hp puts the power to all four wheels by the E-Quatro system and makes 0-100 Km/h in 5.7 secs which is again decently quick for an EV. Audi says it has a range of 390 Km to 484 km which is quite good and depending where and how you are driving. 

 Conclusion 

This Audi E-tron is fantastic in the regard of it can also go to offroading without any hesitation , but it is going to be expensive somewhere around 1.5 - 1.6 Crores or even less. But that's not all you pay extra 20 lakh rupees for RTO registration because this are imported units and the competition of this car is likely with the EQC based on GLC and I-Pace. But my point is the whole future is going to be electric and right now with paying that extra premium makes no sense unless you want to have something different then the crowd. 
My point is get a ICE car for now and enjoy it till its life and after that the future is electric and till then there will more competitions with better charging infra as well. Because for me it is not like how fast you go bur how you go fast which matters. My stand with electric car is they are fast and really nice but there is no character. 

Thank you so much guys,

Bye bye....

Land Rover Defender |Hugely Desirable, Capable, Practical & Fun | Ujjwal Ghosh

 Hi guys and welcome to another blog,

Today I had brought the all new Land Rover Defender for you, the car which is hugely impressive has a character, highly capable and muscular road presence. This car will make you look back to it in every given time. 





Firstly lets start with the key, this gets a regular Land Rover key, Land Rover written on it and on other side there are 4 buttons for lock/unlock the car, on/off the lights and to release the electric tail gate.


Lets Start with The Walk around 

And my Goddness this car looks so freaking tall with that off-road height, it is 2 meters wide, 5 meters long and has a wheel base of 3 meters, this is the defender 110. Under the hood it says Land Rover engineum, hydraulic struts, insulation is there affcourse but the engine bay is not as massive as the car is massive in itself. At the front DEFENDER is written in black with black grill but grill is sleek with Land Rover logo on left side. Lower down it gets skid plate with a camera, 4 front parking sensors and a massive bumper with very small fog lamps. The whole design has done to give it an excellent approach angle, departure angle and take over angle. 



Now the only resemblance with the old defender is the round lights, the lights does gets matrix function but in the lower variants its all LED with circular DRL and a 2 dot for indicator. But the design of this car is 10/10. The bonnet gets black plastic treatment on both sides to make us climb on it with a ease.


Before coming to the side let me tell you the size of the tire, these are massive 20 inch wheels with 255 60 / 20 is the size of the tire and the alloy wheel design is also nice they have a mat grey sort of paint. BTW here you could see the wheel arches which are again massive, from here you can see the air suspensions. 


The fender from both the sides has fake stuff happening only one side is functional, this is done to maintain symmetry of the car. The car is humongous from the side with that offroad height and with the 3 meters of wheel base, these suppose to be the Defender 110, the defender 90 gets a shorter wheel base with 2 doors on it. Anyways, you get indicators on the ORVMs and the ORVMs get memory function, heated function with a puddle lamp along with a camera too. The roof rails are finished in black and the roof itself can take 300 Kg, that's a lot of weight and there is also a panoramic sun roof for the win. 


Meanwhile the A and B pillar along with the D pillar are finished in gloss black but the C pillar is finished in the body color of the car, the window line is also surrounded with gloss black treatment and looks stunning, again at the top you get a shark fin antina which is not just and antina as it got a camera right there, which shows the rear traffic in the IRVM
 as the rear has a massive spare wheel hanging, that might block the view from the IRVM, a very well thought of a feature. An interesting thing happens to be this car doesn't stay as connected as its predecessor as this got a monocoque chassis where the previous one's got a body on frame platform.  


Coming to the rear, it get a massive tail gate mounted spare wheel, alloy aff-course because if you are in the middle in nowhere then you do need a full size spare wheel, that's what Land Rover believes. Lower down, the rear bumper is finished in grey with skid plate. There itself is the reverse parking camera along with a spray to clean it, there are 4 parking sensors and a handle to open the tail gate of the car. the lights are in square shape, indicators got separate dots same is the case with brake lights too. However from the first go you will not find the rear wiper as it is hidden behind the spare wheel, Land Rover simply loves to hide the wipers



Getting inside the first thing is the boot. Now the tail gate opens side ways which might be a problem in city areas, but the door is light thanks to the hydraulics, the door itself gets some storage space into it, and with the all three rows up there is only 180 liters of boot space available. Meanwhile at the boot itself you got controls for increase or decrease the ride height to put in luggage comfortably, also there is a button which is there for the toughing hook which make the car weighs more than 3 tones, that's again is a lot of weight.


However I feel this car has a useless 3rd row of seats as there is not much knee room or leg room, under thigh support is not a concept there, so children will also avoid to sit there, still you get rear AC vents with blower controls and cup holders along with bottle holders and a 12-volt charging socket. 



Lets get in the rear seat, they can be folded in 60:40 option and are also reclining and also slidable, but at this price point I except electric adjust for sure. The door opens wide enough and the door is full of rubber and plastic of good quality, which is suitable for offroad conditions, Climbing inside is not an issue as there is a big grab handle in the B-pillar, meanwhile this car is a charging station with as just behind the driver and co-driver seats there is USB socket along with a holder if you so wish to mount a tablet or an I-[pad, they also gets magazine holders behind each seats.  Good amount of knee room, leg room and under thigh support, head room is also good enough, lot of light is coming in with that huge panoramic sun roof and through the safari windows. There is a light at the top, along with hook and handle on both sides, wood treatment on the door handles too.. At the center there is a adjustable head rest along with an arm rest with cup holders and the good part is the cabin is wide enough and there is no hump at the floor so three people can easily sit at the 2nd row. The center console is massive with AC vents at there, this car got 3 zone climate control but could have got more vents on the B-pillar or at the top. Meanwhile the rear seat is a charging delight, here you got 2, 12-volt charging socket and 2 USB ports, so lots of charging option right there. 



Getting to the front row first and for-most there is a request sensors on all the doors for which you need to press a button to unlock the car, it does not opens the door when you put you hand. Then it got push start stop and everything is full of rubber for the long therm durability of the car and you got exposed screws everywhere to make it look rugged. Now you got three memory options for the driver sear with controls to open windows and to adjust mirrors. BTW there is rubber finishing on the floor area to with very less use of carpets only required mats are placed there. You get a 14 way power adjustable driver seat and the auto hold button is placed in an awkward area not in the proper sight of driver.  Now there is a massive central console with 2-USB charging socket and a 12-volt charging socket along with a wireless charging option too. Infact the dashboard is also designed for keeping stuffs along with another USB socket, so lots of charging option in the car, that's not all below the front center arm rest too there is a chiller for your drinks. So in terms of storage and chargers this car gets 10/10 from my side, but the glove box is on the smaller side, I mean the width is good but the depth is low. 



At the top you get controls for sun roof, a sun-glass holder along with lights and buttons to call SOS or road side service. The car gets 3 sun visors because you have a option to fit a jump seat at the center in order to take you dogs, which also bi-functions as a arm rest with cup holders. The gear selector and the Air conditioning controls are stick to the dashboard and it is a 2 zone climate control. And also there is controls for different terrain modes, so you got eco pro, comfort mode and the regular offroad mode which has grass, gravel and snow plus there is sand, mud, rug, rock crawl and all these programs, it also has an program known as weight and you can configure it if you so wish. The steering wheels says DEFENDER on it and is a 4 spoke unit with controls on the left to toggle the infotainment screen and on the right for the adaptive cruse control. The steering is too big as per my liking and on the right stocks you have controls for the wiper and on the left side is for the headlights. The car gets ambient lights too. And also has voice commands. The best feature in the car is the IRVM, as all the seats are up you can't see much so just press of a button it will show you the view from the camera at the shark fin antina. The steering gets electric adjust both for reach and rake. And this is a 10 inch instrument clusture which by default shows 2 dials of speedo and tachometer and at the center it got plenty of information including tire pressure monitor, here you can change the layout to get the maps or other info whatever you like. But this is not the fastest system. This has the new infotainment system it is a 10 inch unit, this is fantastic, infact the resolution from the cameras is also great and it gets the birds eye view which does helps when you are in offroads. This car got a 900 mm of water weighting capacity. There is weight assist with slope assist and you can just brows through various system like media, radio, maps, 4G connectivity and has Eco pro which shows your driving style. 

Now it gets a meridian sound system which has the highest setting of 700 watts Amazing audio system.


Drive Train

As things stand, the Land Rover Defender is now available with three powertrain options in India. These include a 300hp, 2.0-litre, turbo-petrol (P300) as well as engine as the above mentioned, the 400hp, 3.0-litre, turbo-petrol (P400) and 300hp, 3.0-litre, turbo-diesel engine (D300). 

Besides this, Land Rover has also begun accepting bookings for the P400e plug-in hybrid variant which is expected to join the line-up later this year.


Conclusion

Its a great car for offroading duties. If your pocket allows you then go and pick this up. These is a worth paying of a machine.

BMW 6-Series GT Facelift | 630d M Sport Is Fab


 Hii guys and welcome to another blog,



Today I'm talking about BMW 6-series GT, this is the face-lifted model, this is the G32  LCI , this is the 630d Grand Turismo. First lets start with the key of the car, it gets 2 keys one a normal key with M colors as its a M sport and another has touch screen where you need to swipe up, and can set the temperature, check the range and quite a lot of stuff and it also supports remote parking too. 





But if you are in hurry let me tell you what all is changes in the car, so 5 things has changes; new grill, new headlights, at rear new tail lights, new bumper and new shape for exhaust. If that's all you wanted to know then you can shift to the interior part of the review.

Lets start with the walk around of the car 

Firstly the grill is new it gets chrome surrounds around with camera at the middle and the grill does opens and close when the car feels for air for better aerodynamics. Looking at the lights these are the BMW laser lights gets matrix and what not, with BMW Laser written on them that's the kind of attention to detail is on offer with BMW and also the light gets Blue ting inside making it looks absolutely stellar at night, also these light gets L-shaped DRLs which bi-functions as indicators as well. Infact the lights are so fab that they can sense and throw lights upto 650 meters and the illumination is so good that it doesn't need fog lamps, also the lights steers with the steering angle of the tires that's another cool feature of the lights itself. 




Talking about bumper it sharp cuts and creases all through out, the car gets front parking sensors and a parking camera too for 360° view and the car looks stunning from the front. 


Anyways coming to the side of the car, this is the long wheel base of 6-series in India because BMW doesn't want the 5-series to compare with the E-class, they want the 6-series to compare with the E-class and since the E-class in the Indian markets is a LWB model so the 6-series also got the LWB models to rival the E-class. 



These car gets beautiful 19 inches wheels or you can opt for 21 inches if you so wish, M colored brake calipers says M on them. You got the camera under the ORVMs which also gets puddle lamps too. 


Coming to the rear, the lights are new on this car, you got rear parking sensors, trapazoidal exhaust tips on both the side along with a new bumper too. the rear tail gate gets retractable integrated rear spoiler, you got a camera too with 630d written at the side and says GT from another side. But it looks quite heavy from the rear the back, however being a lift back like the superb and the octavia this got a massive 600 liters of boot with the spare wheel kept on the top, however the spare wheel is a space saver and is a steel rim so cost cutting done there. You can actually increase the boot carrying capacity by folding the seats into 60:40 format. The boot also got electric tail gate release and 12-volt charging socket with a light and with the car's manual and a first aid kit. So boot is very practical in that front.




Lets get inside straight away into the rear seat, the doors open wide enough the doors gets soft door close and the quality of the material used is also fab. Doors get big pockets with bottle holders and place to keep other stuff. The arm rest of the door gets soft cussions with controls for windows and sun blinds for both the rear windows and with blinds for rear windscreen. The seat quality is superb with soft head rest it also has electrically adjust which BTW reclines 9° where in E-class it does more. It got center arm rest with storage space and a screen to control various stuff in the car. This car gets frame-less doors make it looks supper sexy and it got Harmon Cardon sound system with twin 10.3 inch screens behind both the driver and co-driver sets. Gloss up with a BMW sideslow, opens up with car which shows media, car, settings , maps...etc etc which is also there in the front screen as well. 

The rear passengers get separate 2 zones climate control air conditioning with AC vents on the center and on the B-pillar. Also there is a CD changer with AUX input and USB C-charging sockets with 12-volt charging sockets as well. 



Getting to the front seats, first and for most the driver and co-driver seats gets electric adjust with lamber as well  and an adjust to increase under thigh support but the driver seat gets memory function only. Front seats also gets soft pillows not as soft as in the rear, seats are very supportive and hugs you very comfortably. The paddle area is also finished in metallic, the central console gets wood treatment which enables wireless charging pad with twin cup holders and two USB C-charging port, behind that we got the gear selector with electric parking brake and auto-hold function, on the other side there is a dial for i-drive controler and different buttons for different drive modes like eco, comfort, sports and sports+ with buttons for rear spoiler, traction control, park assist and 360° parking camera. 



The overall cabin ambience is super duper awesome, now the glove box is of smaller size but is cooled, plastic is not hard everything inside is super premium in touch and refreshing as well. The mirror is frameless and has auto diming function with controls for light and sun roof, the sun roof is a panoramic one not that big as the car is like a fast back and has a sloping roof line, but of decent size. The sun visors got mirrors with a light on both the sides. Below the center arm rest there is storage with 2 USB C- charging ports along with a light as well. There is also a button to increase or decrease ride hide of the car by 20 mm which BTW drops at a speed of 35 Km/h and further drops at a speed of 120 Km/h. Now the car gets a 4 zone climate control AC 2 zones for the front and 2 zone for the rear. And there are controls for audio system and beside that there is the push start stop with auto on/off button. 

The screen is fantastic in the way it looks and works, it is a 12.3 inch unit and can do a multitude of the things with 11 ambient light colors with is less as mercedes is offering 64 color options. However its got automatic headlights automatic wipers and electric adjust for the steering wheel with heated function which is useless in India. Steering got controls for telephone and media for both the infotainment as well as the drivers information display, The drivers information display shows speedometer in the left and tachometer at the right, in the middle there are various information through which you can toggle through and it says real time furl economy, how much range is left, travel time, maps and what not. 

Drive train options



The 6 Series GT is offered in three variants in India. These include a 258hp, 2.0-litre petrol in the 630i; a 190hp, 2.0-litre diesel in the 620d; and a 265hp, 3.0-litre diesel in the 630d. Its price ranges from Rs 64.90 lakh to 75.90 lakh (ex-showroom, India)

Conclusion

This is the one of the best drivers as well you can just sit in the rear seat and have your meetings. This is the best of both the worlds but if you need more comfort not like driving much then Audi A4 and Mercedes E-class is waiting for. 

Lastly, Thank you so much guys for reading this,

As this is the M sport it gets chrome surround around the grill and the grill BTW opens and closes to ensure for great aerodynamic efficiency, it got a camera upfront for 360° view. In fact the CD  of this car is best in the segment. Bumper is really aggressive it got space lower down for breathing and it got air inlets that outlets air inside wheel arches to reduce wind turbulence again Aerodynamics my friend. And it got BMW laser lights L shaped DRLs with blue ting inside, the lights gets the matrix function and can throw lights upto 650 meters, they look lovely and lit's up every thing in night. Infact the lights are so advance, in-case someone is ahead of it, then it will automatically shifts to lowbeam and allows other people to travel comfortably. All that happen with sensors and cameras placed in top of the wind shield.



The hood is long, this car is slightly under 5-meters in length and slightly under 3-meter in wheel base absolutely right proportions for sedan, The wheels are 18-inches M whels, it gets M color brake calipers. The front tires are 245 45 / 18 not really low profile. 



M batching on the fenders with functional air vents again aerodynamics for reducing drag. Ground cleararce is low, overall proportions and cuts and creases everything fantastic. And in night it projects light from the door handles and it got a camera under the each ORVM for park assist. gets gloss black finishing around the window line and a sun roof at the top with the shark fin antena, the typical BMW affair. 

The rear tail light says BMW inside and the rear tire is actually bigger in size because rear wheel drive; 275 40 /18 wheels are lovely and same wih brake calipers. Again the car actually looks like bigger 3-from the front same from the rear as well where we get new re-profiled lights L shaped and a rear fog lamp as well, should have got dynamic swipe for indicators. 530i is the name of the variant, rear parking camera, parking sensors and trapazoidal exhaust tips with reflectors above that. 



Car looks fantastic from every given angle, really what a design, what a beauty. 

Interiors front,

Starting with the boot, the tail gate gets auto release, now globally the 530i  has 530 liters of boot space but in India is lesser because it gets a spare wheel which is a space saver and nither an alloy. The size of the tire is 135 60 /18. there is space on both the sides, first aid kit what not but coz of spare wheel the boot carring capacity is nearly about 400 liters and you can lock the car from there itself if you so wish


Lets get inside, first and for-most the doors are really long and almost open 90°. Getting in and out might be a issue as the car is low. There is good amount of storage space at the door pockets but the blinds are manually adjustable, not the case in 6-series which also gets soft door close and missed in 5-series. Infact the skid plates gets M logo. The seats got decent recline angle could be better, the seat quality is fantastic. As we can see there is good amount of knee room and leg room, head room is average. There is hook as well as a handle om both the sides, and there is the light placement at the center. There is also a floor hump at the center with rear AC vents with 4 zone climate control system and USB charging sockets. Here we get magazine holders in the seat back, AC vents on the B pillar as well. Cabin is really very nice and premium too. 
.

Speakers says Harmon cardon. And the rear sun blind has electric adjust from drivers side. Anyways nothing as changed. But we get request sensor on the doors, just put your hand and it will automaticlly unlock. 



Now the seats get electric adjust but the driver gets memory function it can set upto 2 people setting. The controls for windows and and mirrors  are in metallic finish and the door panel also got soft touch plastic, quality of the cabin and material is absolutely phenomenal. This variant gets sport seats being M sport other variants get comfort seats. Being sports seats it is still comfortable, nice bolstering with adjustable under thigh support. The paddle area is also gets metallic finish with a proper dead paddle, with secret storage space and controls for head light of course. Now its got automatic headlights and automatic wipers and a slue of tech you just name it. 

The dashboard design is slightly  tilted towards driver, it got auto-deming IRVM and the sun roof is of decent size but not as big as 6-series. Quality of material is just phenomenal. Round steering wheel with BMW logo in center could have flat bottom but gets electric adjust both for reach as well as for rake. The center we have the gear selector and the side is the I-drive controler with drive mode selector and electic parking brake with auto hold function as well as it got controls for 360° parking camera, park assist with traction control button as well. Every thing is very nicely done. And about storage at the center it got 2 cup holders and a wireless charging pad with USBs and arm rest with more storage inside it with charging options as well. The glove box is on the smaller side and does gets the cooling function. 

You have got touch controls for the climate control, the screen is bigger here now 12.3 inches earlier it was 10 inches, it is super sleek to use, and gets voice commands as well. Infact the speakers are also fabuless and it got gesture controls for volume. It also gets 360° parking camera with a birds eye view which helps us very nicely. There is 11 colored ambient lights available but still the less as Hyundai is giving 64 ambient light color in its Alcazar whoch os half of its money.

The drivers information display shows speedometer in the left and tachometer at the right, in the middle there are various information through which you can toggle through and it says real time furl economy, how much range is left, travel time, maps and what not. 

Engine Department

Powering this car are 2.0-litre turbo-petrol (252PS/350Nm), 2.0-litre diesel (190PS/400Nm), and 3.0-litre diesel (265PS/620Nm) units. All engines come with an 8-speed automatic as standard.
However Globally this car gets and option of 540i which produces more power but is not present in India, as if that was on offer then nobody will move for thr M5.
 

CONCLUSION

This time BMW has focused towards comfort but still very agile around directional changes. Now the price of this car is around 75 lakhs which is decent enough but is 6 lakh Rupees cheaper the 6-series  630i M sport and 10 lakhs cheaper than 530d M sport. 

0-100km/h in 6.2secs which is again quick for a car of this segment, If you are interested to carry 4 people in comfort as well will give you the thrill of having a rear wheel drive as well.
