The car industry’s summer blockbusters surely made July a very interesting month. We already covered the flurry of car launches from the major players in the market. With the dust settling for now, you might be wondering if you should check them out.

Our latest Spinny Post features a detailed buying guide for Maruti’s latest 4×4 challenger, while we also compare the Hyundai Exter and Kia Seltos against their respective rivals. We’ve also featured a pro-tip that will be very handy whether you drive in the city or on the highway.

Maruti’s 4×4 Hero hits the streets. Is it for you?

The Maruti Jimny has started appearing on our roads and you might have already caught glimpses of the little 4×4 SUV. What the Jimny lacks in size, it makes up for it in its capabilities that ignite our dreams to live for a more adventurous drivelife. Whether it’s the tried and tested 1.5-litre petrol engine or the proven AllGrip 4×4 system, the small Jimny is designed to take you places that would make other cars blush.

If this impresses you, you might wonder if this small 4×4 SUV is for you. We have the answer and more in our complete buying guide linked below.

The Exter meets its rivals

The Hyundai Exter is an intriguing product from Hyundai. Reliable, SUV-like in the right places, and most importantly, great value for money. This brings the Exter into direct rivalry with the Tata Punch, Hyundai’s own Grand i10 NIOS, and the Maruti Ignis. We’ve compared the newest mini-SUV (technically a crossover hatchback) against each of its rivals to help you decide which car offers the best value.

The Kia Seltos faces off against the Maruti Grand Vitara

In most cases, the Kia Seltos would be directly compared against the segment-leading Hyundai Creta. However, the Seltos’ true rival is the newly launched Maruti Grand Vitara, which has steadily grown its sales volumes to match the Seltos every month. Does the new Kia Seltos facelift have what it takes to meet the challenge of the Grand Vitara? Find out more in our comparison.
