TURBOCHARGED Magazine - December 2022

In this issue

Our December cover star is a rising star - the all-new Mercedes-Benz EQB! It’s the newest EV from the German luxury car maker and one that breaks conventions to chart new territory. It’s the first-ever three-row EV to come to our shores and the SUV could mark a radical shift in the way car makers look at electric vehicles for India - talk about ending the year with a bang! We’ve also driven the all-new Toyota Innova HyCross, which looks poised to continue the Innova Crysta’s success and set new benchmarks while at it. We’ve also driven the new-gen Audi Q3 and it looks very promising! This month we also bring you all the action from the seventh edition of India’s only ‘Underground’ event for tuner cars, and it turned out to be a petrolhead’s paradise in every sense. Rounding off the issue is a bunch of two-wheeler reviews including a decisive comparison between the TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350, not to forget, our motorsport section that chronicles everything about the 2022 season across formats!
