Flagship Aston Martin Vanquish launched in India

Aston Martin has launched its flagship GT, the V12-engined Aston Martin Vanquish at ₹8.85 crore, ex-showroom, onwards. The car takes just over 3 seconds to hit 100 km/h from a standstill, which is an improvement over the DBS Superleggera that it replaces. Powering the car is a twin-turbo 5.2-litre V12 engine, 21-inch wheels are standard, and complementing the mix of sophisticated appeal and brute force is a 15-speaker Bowers and Wilkins sound system.

Land Rover Defender Octa is here

The flagship Land Rover Defender Octa has been launched at ₹2.59 crore onwards, ex-showroom. The Mercedes-AMG G 63 rival is available in the 110-body style and gets 22-inch wheels, a slightly updated interior, and, of course, a 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine.

Kia EV6 facelift reaches the market

The updated Kia EV6 facelift has been launched at ₹65.9 lakh, ex-showroom. The all-electric car now has a bigger battery (84 kWh) and, hence, a better range of 663 km (ARAI). The power output is the same as before, and it must be noted that the Indian version is the AWD GT Line variant, which has a combination of two motors.

The car was showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo earlier this year and comes with some styling updates, which freshen up the car’s already likeable design.
