BMW 3‑Series vs BMW X1: Which Has Lower Maintenance Over 5 Years?

Proposed GST Rate Cut on Hatchbacks in India

<p>The GST rate cut on hatchbacks marks a transformative shift in India’s automotive tax structure. GST (Goods and Services Tax), a unified indirect tax, replaced multiple state and central levies. Under the current car taxation framework, most hatchbacks, small cars under four meters and up to 1,200 cc (petrol) or 1,500 cc (diesel), are taxed at 28% GST plus a compensation cess of 1% to 3%, bringing total taxation to 29–31%.</p><p>As part of one of the tax reforms, the government has proposed a GST rate cut on hatchbacks, reducing GST to 18% slab while collapsing the number of GST tiers to two (5% and 18%) and doing away with the 12% and 28% slabs entirely.</p>

<p>When buying a car in India, safety is paramount due to the country’s high rate of road accidents. Prioritizing vehicles with strong safety features, like ABS and ESP, is essential. Modern cars undergo standardized crash tests, and Global NCAP provides additional safety ratings, with many affordable models available under ₹10 lakh.</p>

<p>Electronic struts offer real-time adaptive suspension for premium comfort and handling, while passive struts provide reliable, cost-effective ride control. This guide compares both systems in terms of performance, cost, and suitability for different driving needs to help car owners and buyers make the right suspension choice.</p>

Electronic Struts vs Passive Struts: Which Suspension Is Right for Your Car?

<p>Rear suspension plays a crucial role in how your car rides, handles corners, and absorbs road imperfections. This article compares torsion beam and independent rear suspension systems — both common in hatchbacks, sedans, and SUVs. Torsion beam setups are simpler, cheaper, and space-efficient, making them popular in budget cars. In contrast, independent rear suspension provides smoother ride quality, better handling, and enhanced comfort, especially on rough roads or at high speeds. The guide breaks down performance, cost, maintenance, and suitability to help you make an informed decision, whether you’re buying a new or used vehicle.</p>

Torsion Beam vs Independent Rear Suspension: Key Ride and Handling Differences Explained

<p>Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) allows each rear wheel to move independently, offering superior ride comfort, handling, and traction compared to solid axle setups. Common in luxury and performance vehicles, IRS enhances road grip, reduces body roll, and improves overall driving dynamics. While it comes with higher costs and maintenance, it’s ideal for those prioritizing comfort and control, both on and off-road.</p>
