In one of our recent issues, we reviewed the new MG ZS Turbo. Its 1.3-litre turbocharged engine provided the five-seat crossover with ample power without racking up a sizeable fuel bill. But what if we told you that it has a cousin that consumes no fuel at all. Entire the MG ZS EV, an electric variant of the standard ZS that traded its internal combustion engine for an electric motor and a battery pack.
I’ve only ever been to Chittagong thrice aside from this trip - once when I was around 7, then again when I was around 12 and finally in 2019 for an Olympiad at East Delta University. It’s safe to say that I remember little to nothing from my first two trips while my last trip was only limited to Golpahar and the East Delta University campus.
Alonso has the rare talent of choosing the right team at the wrong time, which results in him driving a car that is not competitive enough to win a race. He is forced to drive what is undoubtedly a subpar vehicle, but he always manages to get the best performance out of it.
On the low end there are the “Compact SUV”s. These five-seat crossovers have the look of traditional SUVs, but are usually front-wheel-drive platforms with reasonable ground clearance. On the high end, there are truck-based, body-on-frame, Sports Utility Vehicles. Capable of seating seven and taking them virtually anywhere, they cost about as much as a decent-sized apartment in Dhaka city.
The current gen Subaru Impreza has grown up some more. Here’s how we can put that into comparison. It is roughly three inches longer and three inches wider than a current Toyota Premio, the most common car in Bangladesh. On the styling side, the Impreza offers a sharper, more wedge shaped profile indicating speed, power and all things cool. Well, this is a standard version. But does that mean you should not consider it? Far from it.
The new look of MG From the front, it almost looks like the car lost weight. The front LED headlights are now thinner, with opaque DRL and disconnected from the grille. The new honeycomb pattern grille is of a different shape, with the centre MG badge spotting one of the car’s 360-degree cameras. Underneath the main grille is another, smaller, honeycomb grille, flanked by two recessed halogen fog lamps.
When it was first launched in 2017, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross faced a lot of criticisms from the auto entuasts. No one was ready to see their childhood dream car, the exact one used in The Fast and the Furious, turned into an oversized grocery getter.

Even Porsche isn’t as committed to the art of DIY shifting nowadays. The GR Supra 3.0 MT, added to the sportscar’s range alongside a mid-life update after overwhelming media and customer demand, is a bit of a surprise too. Let’s hope enough people buy them to justify the effort. Because boy, has Toyota put the effort in. While the straight-six turbo engine up front still comes from BMW – it’s shared with the Z4 roadster and higher-tiered 3 Series models, among others – the team at Gazoo has dec

Cars built prior to the 'noughties' (the decade from 2000 to 2009) offer a few advantages. They don't have the bloated appearance of current automobiles, are more interesting to drive, and, most crucially, cost a fraction of what new cars do to buy and maintain. They do, however, have a number of flaws, particularly in terms of safety and practicality. With this in mind, here are four modern classic improvement choices that will make them more practical and safe.

If you want to make your car look good, swapping a new set of rims is imperative and can absolutely transform the overall look of your car. When you are going to search for the perfect set of rims for your car you will come across a plethora of manufacturers trying to impress you. But choosing the wrong set of wheels can just as easily make your car look as ugly as a good set of rims can make it look good. Marketers promote their products differently but you need to select them and make your own
Before we start, let me read you some stats: 638 horsepower and 604 lb-ft of torque, now you power junkies are going to ask me what car is producing these majestical numbers?

But using improper materials and methods are likely to do more harm than good. So here are five things you should keep in mind next time you wash your car.
DIECAST
If you’ve either been into cars or anime long enough, you’ve probably come across a black and white panda themed boxy Toyota with pop-up headlights. If you couldn’t guess already, it's the legendary AE86 from the anime Initial D. With probably one of the highest cult following any Toyota cars have ever received other than the Supra, the AE86 from Initial D has way too many fan accessories such as over hundreds of features in several racing games, tshirts, mugs, car stickers and even diecasts
Now, this is something we as collectors tend to forget. We all got ourselves into this hobby for a reason. Maybe one wanted to collect the cars that they never got to own or they are collecting because of the main satisfaction they get out of this hobby.
The Diecast collector’s world, albeit a very niche category, certainly has a cult following all over the world. There is a certain something about collecting miniature versions of your dream cars, perhaps even your actual car. Some hobbies are quite challenging to elaborate on, for example it’s hard to come up with an answer when you’re asked why you collect toy cars even though you are well above “toy car age.” This interesting hobby has now found its way into the minds of the enthusiasts of Ba
Now, I don’t know where to begin with this model since everything about it is nearly perfectly. Starting from the iconic body line of the fender flares and the rear quarter panels to the meshed rims, all of the crucial details that build up the M3 have been taken care of precisely. The rear taillights are also of the right thickness and one would not fail to notice the nicely placed exhaust tips.
Through the glass doors one can sense that this is not an ordinary dealership. Rather, a walk-in vault for cars atypical to be seen on the road. This robust collection housed some of the legends of history, and one such vehicle would be the streamlined McLaren hypercar known as the Speedtail. A common Speedtail cannot be seen by the general masses daily, yet at Tomini Classics it is parked in front of a bright red Ferrari Testarossa in all its glory.

His initial plan was to travel along the South Asian region, starting from India, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. But, due to the Rohingya issue in Myanmar and a hectic-cum expensive process of hiring a guide back and forth along with many permits from the Department of National Security via the Ministry of Hotel and Tourism to travel overland into Myanmar, Musdaque had to put the plan at rest in 2018.
His yearning to travel across borders stroked up the endeavor Ride for Nation. And, the desire to represent his nation on a Bangladeshi registered motorcycle.

A bicycle, unlike other vehicles on the road, doesn’t come with fancy engines or advanced machinery and is probably the most basic form of transport currently available to mankind.
