Four years is a long time in the Indian car market. Brands rise, rivals multiply, and buyer expectations shift entirely. When Renault quietly discontinued the Duster in 2022, most of us assumed the chapter was closed. The segment had moved on. The Creta had won. And then March 17, 2026 happened. The Renault Duster 2026…
There’s a certain kind of car that India has wanted for years but Toyota never quite brought here. Not the Fortuner — that’s been part of the furniture since 2005. Not the Innova Crysta — fantastic MPV, but not exactly what luxury buyers are dreaming about. The car India has been watching from afar, seeing…

The Toyota Hilux has always belonged firmly in the second category. But with the Toyota Hilux 2026, something interesting has…
For years, the joke in Indian automotive circles went something like this — “Maruti will go electric when the last petrol pump closes.” Enthusiasts ribbed them for it. EV advocates got frustrated. And Maruti just kept selling Swifts and Balenos in numbers that made everyone else look small. But here’s the thing about taking your…
There’s a particular kind of buyer that the Volkswagen Taigun has always attracted. Not the person who buys a car because everyone else is buying it.
