We're celebrating our fourth anniversary with four SUVs, with four drivetrains, by driving them to four interesting places. We've also driven a slew of new cars - mostly SUVs - this month, including the all-new Kia Syros, Hyundai Creta Electric, latest generation Toyota Camry, BMW iX1 long wheelbase, the uber-luxurious Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV, new generation Honda Amaze, all-new Skoda Kylaq, Mini Countryman EV, Tata Nexon EV 45 and a very special sportscar - the Lotus Emira!
We also drove to India's most energy efficient (and special!) school, the Rajkumari Ratnavati Girls School in India's most efficient SUV, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Strong Hybrid. That’s besides driving from Chennai on India's east coast to Mangaluru on India's west coast, a distance of 700km along side a British ultra-runner who ran the distance. Yes, he ran 700km!
We've also reviewed the latest version of the Ather 450X, the all-new Numeros Diplos Max electric scooter and 'road-tested' the Royal Enfield Bear 650, besides getting actor and biker Amit Sadh to tell us about Season 2 of his series, aptly called 'Motorcycles Saved My Life'. We've gotten our hands on the newest flagship smartphones, like the Apple iPhone 16 Pro and Google Pixel 9 Pro too this month, besides the Vivo X200 and some more gadgets.
