autoX - August 2022

In dieser Angelegenheit

BLOCKBUSTERS! Compact SUVs make for one of the highest selling segments in our market and the Tata Nexon has been topping the charts for a while. But with the Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Hyundai Venue getting significant updates recently – will we see a new king of the hill? On the other side of the spectrum, we test out two of BMW’s latest all-electric offerings – the i4 and the iX – to find out if BMW’s EV future will do justice to the Ultimate Driving Machine tag. Balancing our carbon footprint is the Mercedes-Maybach S 580, with its monstrous 4.0-litre bi-turbo V8. But, for a change, we decided to relax in the back and enjoy the luxuries of its first class cabin. We also rode up to flight altitudes during the Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey, which went all the way to Umling La – the highest motorable road in the world. In this issue, we also test the 2022 Renault Kiger, the updated Ather 450X, Bajaj Pulsar N160 and give our verdict on the brand new TVS Ronin. And for you litre-class lovers, our first ride of the new Suzuki Katana is also packed in. All this and more in the August issue of autoX – get your copy now.
