Mercedes-Benz Edition 1 Expert Review

The A-Class is one of the stylish hatchbacks around and the diamond front grille adds on to the existing style. The B-Class has been a luxury tourer and it retains the same styling even on the Edition 1. The cosmetic changes on the Edition 1 are a few. To begin with, both the A-Class and the B-Class now get Edition 1 stickers on the rocker.

2015 Volkswagen Jetta first drive

Second in line, latest upgrade in the form of 2015 Jetta is merely a cosmetic enhancement by Volkswagen India. Yup, that’s correct for all the Jetta fans out there the 2015 version of this executive sedan is simply a cosmetic upgrade. Mechanically it remains untouched which means that it’s drive and ride characteristics are pretty much the same as before. So what is it that has changed in this premium sedan, shall we find out?
