Union Minister in Government of India, Nitin Gadkari is pushing for E100 Petrol in the country.
However, Nitin Gadkari will never disclose two very important aspects of using 100% ethanol blended petrol in the passenger cars and bikes.
1) By using 100% Ethanol blended fuel or E100 fuel in your car or bike, mileage drops by 30 to 35%. This means a car or motor cycle or scooter giving mileage of 50 km per 1 litre of petrol today will give 35 kilometre per 1 litre of E100 fuel.
2) Secondly, producing Ethanol requires larger agricultural land for sugarcane molasses, more ground water and more food production. Ethanol is produced from food decay or damaged food grains.
Were you aware of this? This will certainly make Indians frown. : NewzTaag | Vrooom | E100Fuel
Here comes the SUV-killer car in India, from Group Renault - the all new Nissan Tekton...
Star Ratings Are Selling Cars — Do They Save Lives, Too? - NewzTaag|Vrooom
In today’s Indian car market, BNCAP and GNCAP ratings have quietly shifted from being genuine safety benchmarks to becoming clever sales tools. Manufacturers now flaunt star ratings as marketing ammunition rather than treating safety as a core engineering priority. The result? Safety is being sold, not strengthened. — NewzTaag | Vrooom
In the mad rush to publish first, how fair is it to review an India‑bound car - be it a hatchback, sedan, crossover, SUV or MPV—on foreign soil and unfamiliar terrain? A question worth asking.
For when the car is launched in India, everything changes under the label of CAR MADE FOR INDIAN ROADS or CAR DESIGNED FOR INDIAN CONDITIONS — NewzTaag | Vrooom
Gypsy to Jimny flopped — is the Duster next in line?
Maruti Suzuki tried reviving its iconic Gypsy by rebranding it as the Jimny — and the gamble didn’t pay off.
Now Renault seems to be walking the same path with the return of the Duster. The relaunch feels eerily similar — and the outcome might be too. - NewzTaag | Vrooom
Think twice before buying the newly launched Renault Duster 2026!
The Reasons -
🚫 Cheap glossy plastics that scream cost-cutting
🚫 Interiors that completely miss the premium mark
🚫 Sunroof added at the cost of fuel efficiency and practicality
🚫 Awkward, overdone yellow accents inside and outside
🚫 No spare wheel — unacceptable for real-world and highway use
Can Maruti Suzuki’s e-Vitara Pave the Way for BS-VII in India?
Will Maruti Suzuki’s first full-electric car, the e-Vitara, break conventional driving norms and pave the way for a futuristic BS-VII era in India?
Maruti Suzuki’s much-anticipated e-Vitara marks the brand’s entry into India’s electric SUV space. Unveiled in December 2025 and expected in showrooms by early 2026, it will be supported by a nationwide network of more than 29,000 charging stations, strengthening India’s push toward future-ready electric mobility. - NewzTaag | Vrooom
Why Is ADAS a Premium Feature in India and Not Standard in All Cars?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are increasingly recognized as essential car safety features, yet in India, ADAS is mostly offered only in premium cars. This raises a common question among buyers: Why isn’t ADAS standard in all cars in India? The answer lies in cost, infrastructure, regulations, and consumer demand.
1. High Cost of ADAS Technology in India
ADAS systems use advanced hardware such as cameras, radar sensors, LiDAR, and high-performance processors. These components significantly increase manufacturing costs. Since the Indian car market is highly price-sensitive, automakers restrict ADAS to higher variants to keep entry-level cars affordable.
2. Indian Road Infrastructure Challenges
Many ADAS features depend on clear lane markings, well-maintained roads, and predictable traffic flow. Indian roads often have faded lane lines, inconsistent signage, mixed traffic, and frequent pedestrian movement, which limits the effectiveness of ADAS in real-world conditions.
3. No Mandatory ADAS Safety Regulations in India
Unlike markets such as Europe and the US, India does not mandate ADAS features in passenger vehicles. Current vehicle safety norms focus on basic requirements like airbags, ABS, and seat belts. Without regulatory pressure, manufacturers are not required to make ADAS standard.
4. Traffic Behaviour and Driving Patterns
Indian traffic is highly unpredictable, with two-wheelers, auto-rickshaws, animals, and sudden lane changes. Most ADAS systems are designed for structured traffic environments, making them less reliable without extensive localization for Indian driving conditions.
5. Maintenance and Calibration Costs
ADAS systems require precise sensor calibration after repairs or windshield replacement. Limited availability of trained technicians and specialized service centers increases long-term ownership costs, making ADAS less practical for mass-market vehicles.
6. Consumer Awareness and Buying Priorities
While awareness of vehicle safety features is improving, many Indian buyers still prioritize fuel efficiency, affordability, and maintenance costs over advanced safety technologies. As demand for ADAS remains niche, manufacturers continue to market it as a premium feature.
Future of ADAS in India; advanced car safety India
With improving road infrastructure, rising safety awareness, and potential future regulations, ADAS adoption in India is expected to increase. Over time, ADAS features are likely to become more affordable and gradually move into mid-range and mass-market cars. - NewzTaag | Vrooom
More Diesel Cars in India in 2026?
If Gadkari wants diesel vehicles gone, why are carmakers in India still rolling out new diesel models?
Don’t let GST2.0 festive offers fool you!
Even if you buy a bike or car between October and December 2025 i.e. during the year ending and festival time, it is OLD model as per the insurance companies.
Will you tag your 1-month-old model as 1-year OLD model?
It is a trick to increase sales. Wait till February 2026 for true value. Because, you will have a fresh model of 2026, and not 2025. - NewzTaag | Vrooom
As an Indian car buyer, which car is your choice?
1. Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder (HEV)
2. Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara (HEV)
3. Maruti Suzuki E Vitara
4. Toyota Urban Cruiser EV
5. Kia Carens Clavis EV
6. Hyundai Creta EV
7. MG Windsor EV
8. TATA Harrier EV
9. Mahindra XEV 9e
10. Renault Duster Hybrid (HEV)
How fair is it to compare the 4-cylinders cars with cars having 3- cylinders?
For example, #HyundaiCreta and #KiaSeltos with #MarutiGrandVitara and #MarutiVictoris or even in that case Toyota #UrbanCruiserHyryder?
While Hyundai and KIA cars are equipped with four-cylinder engine, Maruti Suzuki and Toyota are 3-cylinder engine #SUV cars. - NewzTaag | Vrooom
