Mahbub Hussain

Lecturer at ULAB and intense car enthusiast, he currently works as Sub-Editor for Shift. He is also the only one in the team now with a car that is actually fast. It was mostly the reason he was hired so he could give the boss an occasional chance to redline. He has mad skills at drawing cars and when he is not driving or writing about cars, he is sitting quietly looking at cars. He formerly worked for Fast Lane, a monthly automotive publication.

2017 Mercedes Benz E200

The latest Mercedes E class is a fantastic combination of style, road presence, luxury and comfort. We take out the E200 for a test drive to see how well it copes at being one of the most reputed executive sedans in the world, in Dhaka.

New Car Preview: Mitsubishi Pajero Sport

Rangs Limited, authorised dealer of Mitsubishi Motors has the 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport in. Most of the previous models plying our roads are black, government owned and chauffer driven. They are also round, and have no unique angle – looks just like a typical SUV. The new one isn't. In a rather short date with the demo vehicle, we find out what the new gen Pajero sport is all about.

2016-17 Toyota Avanza

We all secretly agree that MPVs are our life savers, carrying things that no cars can and going places where no cars dare tread. One of the most promising MPVs in the Bangladeshi market is Toyota Avanza, which has gone through a lot of evolution since its inception thirteen years ago. We took the latest generation RWD MPV out for a test drive and Navana was kind enough to throw in the older model to escort us.
