The Citroen C3 Aircross is a wonderful looking SUV built on the C3's platform but it offers more space than you think and is far better to drive than it really should be. But as Kartikeya explains on MotorInc First, Citroen once again has made some odd choices that lower your sense of what should be a great car to drive and own!

The Hero Mavrick 440 is the second product from the platform that gave us the Harley-Davidson X440. But with tweaks to suspension, wheel sizes, seating position and more, the Mavrick feels very different from the Harley. It's also a bit less expensive. The truly impressive thing, however, is how comfortable, easy-going and pleasant the riding experience is! Could this be your first bike? Kartikeya Singhee and Shumi are discussing Hero's flagship motorcycle on MotorInc First.
