autoX - June 2023

En este asunto

Our June features an exclusive comparison test of two of the hottest off-roaders in the country – the swanky new Maruti Suzuki Jimny and the big & butch Mahindra Thar.

For BMW aficionados, we have a special feature where we compare the mighty new BMW M2 (with a manual!) with a 1992 325i to see if the latest kid in M Town can match the pedigree of its forefathers.

For two-wheel enthusiasts, there’s plenty of action in store as we pitch the Suzuki Katana against the Ducati Hypermotard, while the Royal Enfield Scram and Suzuki V Strom SX get down and dirty off-road to show off their adventurous roots.

The motorsports section includes an exclusive and rather candid interview with Aprilia Racing CEO, Massimo Rivola, among other speedy action from the racing world.

Check out the latest issue here.

An unemotional welcome turns into an emotional goodbye. Automobiles have this uncanny knack of sneaking into your hearts, right?

Bear with me, this column is a bit personal – it involves a bittersweet parting. After I moved on from Porsche India and gave up the fancy company car, I decided to try the new world of mobility, of non-car ownership and app based cabs to get to work.
