New Delhi: Skoda has confirmed that it will bring the Kodiaq RS performance SUV to India by June 2026. This will be the first RS-badged SUV from Skoda for the Indian market. The model will be based on the second-generation Kodiaq, which is already on sale in the country. The Kodiaq RS is expected to arrive in India as a CKD unit, similar to the standard model. Pricing is likely to fall between Rs 50 lakh and Rs 60 lakh (ex-showroom). Once launched, it will compete with models such as the Volkswagen Tayron R-Line and the MG Majestor. Kodiaq RS: Engine and performance Under the bonnet, the Kodiaq RS will use a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol TSI engine. This is the same engine that was earlier offered in the Octavia RS. In the Kodiaq RS, the engine produces 265 hp and 400 Nm of torque. This is a significant increase over the standard Kodiaq, which gets lower power and torque figures. Power is sent to all four wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, along with an all-wheel-drive...
New Delhi: Twenty five years ago, a simple idea went live on the internet. A free encyclopedia that anyone could edit. No ads. No paywall. Just knowledge, written and checked by volunteers. On January 15, 2001, that idea became Wikipedia. Today, it is hard to picture daily internet life without it. From homework checks to late night curiosity spirals, Wikipedia sits quietly in the background. It does not shout. It does not chase clicks. Yet the numbers it pulls are massive. As the platform turns 25, new data shows how deeply it is woven into global online habits. Wikipedia at 25 and still ad-free Wikipedia now hosts over 30 million articles, published across 277 languages. It is run by volunteers and overseen by the Wikimedia Foundation. Despite early criticism about accuracy, the platform has grown into the seventh most visited site in the world. According to Wikimedia Statistics, Wikipedia logged “27 billion page views in December from seven billion unique visitors”. That figure...
New Delhi: MG is set to launch its new flagship full-size SUV, the Majestor, on February 12, 2026. The SUV was first shown at the Auto Expo 2025 and has been seen testing on Indian roads multiple times since then. The MG Majestor is expected to be priced higher than the Gloster, which currently costs between Rs 38 lakh and Rs 42 lakh. The SUV will compete with models like the Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian, and Skoda Kodiaq. Since the Majestor will likely be positioned above the Gloster, it is expected to offer more features than the current 3-row SUV. For comparison, the Gloster comes with a panoramic sunroof, 3-zone automatic climate control, wireless phone charging, a 12-speaker sound system, a powered tailgate, and front seats that are heated, powered, and include a massage function for the driver. The Majestor may include similar or upgraded features. MG Majestor: Body and design The MG Majestor takes design cues from the Maxus D90, which is sold in countries like China and...
New Delhi: Google Photos has recently added several new features that use AI. These include editing photos using simple text commands, an updated video editor, and tools that automatically create short highlight videos. These updates make Google Photos more useful for editing, storing, and managing photos and videos. According to a report by Android Authority, this feature was spotted during an APK teardown of Google Photos version 7.58.0.853810532. An APK teardown means examining the app’s code to find features that are still under development. Screenshots shared in the report show that the Backup section in the app’s settings is also being redesigned using Google’s Material 3 Expressive design style. How does Backup Schedule help? However, one basic feature has been missing for a long time. Users still cannot decide exactly when their photos and videos are backed up. At the moment, backups usually happen automatically whenever the app decides, often using mobile data or at...
New Delhi: Volkswagen has kicked off calendar year 2026 with a pricing move that feels a bit unusual at first glance. Prices are going up across most variants, yet entry-level buyers suddenly have a better deal on the table. It is one of those announcements that makes you pause, check the fine print, and then check it again. Volkswagen is lowering the barrier of entry for new buyers, while quietly nudging prices up for higher trims. This comes at a time when both cars are nearing updates and competition in their segments is only getting tighter. Volkswagen Taigun and Virtus prices revised for 2026 Volkswagen India currently sells just two models under its INDIA 2.0 plan. The Taigun SUV and the Virtus sedan. As 2026 begins, both cars have received a price revision. The headline change is at the bottom of the range. The base variants of both cars are now cheaper. Every other version sees a price hike, though the increases are mostly modest on the SUV and sharper on select sedan trims....

First introduced in 2012, the Duster was one of the early compact SUVs to gain wide popularity in the country. However, it was later discontinued due to changing market conditions.
