Engage 4x4 India Magazine - January - February 2023

In this issue

In what is possibly our most incredible story yet, we get aboard the INS Vikrant aircraft carrier. We take the Mahindra XUV 700, XUV 300 and Scorpio-N, aboard India’s first indigenous aircraft carrier to drive the first mile of the Indian Navy’s Sham No Varuna 7500km coastal drive. We also paid a visit to M&M’s Igatpuri plant near Nashik, to celebrate the roll-out of the 100,000th Thar and dive into how the beast is made. The editor tells you what it is like to live with the Mahindra Thar. We sit down with Mahindra’s design chief Pratap Bose, to get up to speed on the BE Rall-E electric SUV concept, which will soon make it to production. There’s a brief on the 13th edition of the IBA Women’s Boxing championship and the off-road experience which we curated to show you the importance of good tyres. Also in this issue are epic drives to the Thar Desert, the freezing cold mountains of Spiti and to the roof of the world, the Himalayas. All that, and much much more. You know you don’t want to miss this issue of Engage 4x4!
