autoX - April 2025

In this issue

April has us all charged up, and for all the right reasons! Taking the centerstage on this month’s cover are three of the most potent e-SUVs on the market – the BMW iX1 LWB, the BYD Sealion 7, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5. But which of the three is the most deserving of your hard-earned half-a-crore? Well, you’ll find the answer in a mega(watt!) comparison between these three EV heavyweights in our latest issue.

Bringing some more heat to the mix this month is the brand-new Ducati Streetfighter V4 S, which we tested and thrashed at the mind-bending Andalucia Circuit in an India Exclusive story!

There’s more electric ‘power’ packed action – from the mighty Porsche Macan Turbo Electric to the humble Honda Activa e & QC1, we have covered and tested them all! For two-wheel enthusiasts, we have some unique stories, including track days with a big BMW R 1300 GS ADV and a couple of Jawas and Yezdis, along with a thorough off-road test of the new Hero Xpulse 210. And for those of you who like to take it slow, we’ve got the all-new Royal Enfield Classic 650 gracing the pages of our latest issue with its elegance.

As always, there’s more from the world of motorsports and tech in our latest issue.
