Car News That Mattered: Kia Sonet Launched, Thar Accessories, Ford Endeavour Sport, Skoda Rapid Automatic Launched & More

Here are the top five priority automotive headlines from the last week

Kia Sonet Prices vs Rivals: In India, we’ve seen that a car is only as good as its pricing.

Mahindra Thar Accessories: We know of no one who plans on keeping their Mahindra Thar in stock form once they’ve bought it. Mahindra is aware of those plans and has prepared a comprehensive accessory platter which will help you personalise your steed without heading to the aftermarket.
