April has been an exciting one so far in terms of automotive action. From the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 to the all-new Aston Martin Vantage, here’s everything that was launched in the month.

Aston Martin Vantage

The British marque Aston Martin launched the all-new Vantage in India this week, with prices starting from Rs 3.99 crores (ex-showroom). Featuring a rather extensive update, the Vantage gets an all-new dashboard, a new software platform, and a major design change. However, under the hood, it continues to be powered by the same Mercedes-AMG-sourced 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, which now produces 665PS of power, helping it sprint from 0-100kmph in just 3.4 seconds.

Jeep Wrangler facelift

After many teasers, Jeep India has finally launched the updated Wrangler, with a starting price of Rs 67.65 lakh for the Unlimited and reaching Rs 71.65 lakh for the Rubicon variants, marking a Rs 5 lakh increase across the range (all prices, ex-showroom). Both models feature new black grilles and 17-inch alloy wheels, maintaining the previous colour options like Sarge Green and Firecracker Red. The Rubicon retains its distinctive badges and decals, distinguishing it as the more rugged variant. Under the hood, the Wrangler gets the same 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine which churns out 270PS and 400Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed torque converter.

BMW i5

BMW India launched the i5 a couple of days ago for Rs 1.20 crore (ex-showroom, India). Arriving via the CBU route, the i5 will be offered in the top-spec M60 xDrive variant. Equipped with an 83.9kWh (81.2kWh usable) battery pack, the BMW i5 M60 xDrive variant delivers a WLTP range of 516km on a single charge. Powering the sedan are two electric motors – one on each axle – generating a combined output of 601PS and 795Nm of torque, helping it propel from 0-100kph in 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 230kph.

Volkswagen Taigun GT Line, GT Plus Sport

After showcasing them last month, VW officially launched both the Taigun GT Plus Sport and GT Line. Powering the Taigun GT Line is a 1.0-litre engine, which comes with a choice of both manual and auto transmission, priced at Rs 14.08 lakh. Meanwhile, the Taigun GT Plus Sport gets a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, priced at Rs 18.54 lakh (both, ex-showroom).
