In this issue

Highlights of Auto Today - August 2023 issue: It has been a busy month for the Indian automotive industry as evident from the slew of previews and reviews of four-wheelers and two-wheelers in the latest issue of Auto Today magazine. Our Top Story this month revolves around the future concepts from Mahindra featured on the cover. While the Mahindra Scorpio-N based Global Pik Up will spearhead the company's worldwide expansion plans, the Vision Thar.e is a modern, all-electric reimagination of the iconic Mahindra Thar. We've got the lowdown on both those concepts and other major announcements that were made by Mahindra in Cape Town, South Africa on India's 77th Independence Day. We also give you a closer look at the futuristic new TVS X electric scooter as well as electric motorcycle concepts from Ola.
