Mercedes Benz GLB

Autocar India exclusively drives the Mercedes-Benz GLB, which will be India’s most affordable luxury 7-seater SUV. Read more about it in this month’s issue. 

Jeep Grand Cherokee

We also have an exclusive drive of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee, which will be the flagship product for the American SUV manufacturer in India and will be assembled locally. We take a closer look. 

OLX pre-owned car resale value study

A joint study between Autocar India and OLX Autos analyses the resale value of each car and SUV to help you understand how they depreciate. 

Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Porsche’s latest track-focused car with a number plate concentrates heavily on aerodynamics. We drive the 911 GT3 RS around the Silverstone circuit in the UK to see how it fares. 

Tata Punch vs Citroen C3

The sub-compact SUV segment is booming and in one corner we have the segment leader, the Tata Punch, and in the other, its latest entrant – the Citroen C3. Who will win the fight?

Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport

The enthusiasts have a new SUV to be excited about. Does the XUV300 TGDi have what it takes to please the petrolheads?

Lamborghini Urus Performante

Is Lamborghini’s latest super-SUV worthy of the Performante nameplate, one that is reserved for fast and agile Raging Bulls? We find out on a circuit and an off-road course. 

Aston Martin DBX 707

We drove the Aston Martin DBX 707 in Italy earlier this year but it’s now time to find out how the 707hp super-SUV feels like on Indian roads. 

Hero Vida V1 Pro

Hero may have been late to the electric scooter party and its Vida V1 Pro is priced on the higher side. Does it have what it takes to shake the two-wheeler EV market?

Jawa 42 Bobber

Jawa’s latest ‘Factory Custom’ motorcycle is based on its most popular model – the 42. Read on to see how this bobber fares as a practical motorcycle. 

Kawasaki Ninja 400

The Ninja 400 is back in a BS6-compliant avatar after a hiatus of two years. We ride it to see if its higher price tag can justify what it offers.

Bajaj CT 125X

Bajaj’s latest 125cc commuter is a rugged motorcycle that’s offered at a price of a 100cc bike. Does it have what it takes to fight its rivals?

Max Verstappen’s second championship title

The Dutchman clinched his second consecutive world title. Verstappen has also set a record for most wins in a single Formula 1 season.
