The new Tata Altroz Racer features a fuel efficient and more powerful new engine, and it really is a practical hatchback. But Kartikeya says that a racer it is not, by any stretch of the imagination, on MotorInc First.

The updated Maruti Suzuki Swift is here. Buyers will like it, but enthusiasts may not, conclude Kartikeya and Shumi on MotorInc First. The updates make the Maruti Swift, smoother, quicker, more efficient, safer and it's better equipped. But the fizziness of the outgoing hatchback? That's been taken back to create a better family car.
