With the Indian summer on the rise, we’ve driven some of the hottest performance SUVs on offer,
starting off with the Purosangue – the first-ever SUV from Ferrari in the snow-capped Dolomite
alps, and keeping in line with that theme, we went full send in the hardcore Lamborghini Urus
Performante at the upcoming Bren Raceway right here in India. To keep things cool, we also
headed to Spiti on Mahindra Adventure’s Snow Escape, and things got even cooler when with the
Mercedes-AMG E53 cabriolet at our disposal.
We have also got reviews of the Audi Q3 Sportback, City facelift, Aura facelift, Aston Martin
Valkyrie, and BMW M3 Touring and M2 inside. We haven’t missed out on our epic roadtrips,
joining the women of the Indian Navy through Rajasthan and heading to the snows of Spiti in
Mahindra 4x4s. On two wheels, we rode the updated Triumph Street Triple at Jerez, went to CSS
and pitted the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 against the TVS Ronin

The BE 6 and XEV 9e headline the December 2024 issue of evo India! These two bold SUVs with cutting-edge designs, exceptional features, and performance that rivals German luxury EVs, but at a fraction of the cost. With a 79kWh battery, rear-wheel drive, and 282bhp, these EVs offer over 500km of real-world range and promise to disrupt the market. Alongside these game-changers, Audi's A6 e-tron Sportback, with its 100kWh battery and a WLTP range of 756km, is set to arrive in India in 2025. In this issue, we also drive the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680, and the Tata Nexon with a new 45kWh battery.
Also in this issue, Aston Martin’s new Vanquish roars in with a  824bhp pure combustion V12, while Mercedes-AMG’s C 63 S E Performance proves that four cylinders and 1020Nm of torque are more than enough for thrilling lap times at the Buddh International Circuit. Ed goes to Modena to drive the Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II Black Badge, and a Ratan Tata tribute that showcases the cars that defined a visionary era in Indian motoring, from the Sierra to the Nexon EV. We also drive the MG Cyberster GT, an electric roadster ready to challenge its ICE counterparts, and is headed for launch in India in January!
For two-wheel motoring enthusiasts, Royal Enfield introduces the Classic 650, and the bobber-inspired Goan Classic 350. We also compare two uncommon rivals that serve a similar purpose in the market – TVS Jupiter 110 and Ather Rizta Z.

Ferrari’s F80 hypercar takes the spotlight in our November ’24 issue, flaunting a jaw-dropping 1183bhp from its hybrid V6 powertrain, making it Ferrari’s most powerful road car yet. As the brand’s flagship for the decade, the F80 pairs motorsport-derived engineering with advanced aerodynamics and cutting-edge technology. Its blistering 0-100kmph time of just 2.15 seconds promises unparalleled performance on the road and track. We explore its transition to a V6 hybrid setup and compare it to rivals like the McLaren W1. Also inside, grab your exclusive Ferrari F80 poster!

We’ve also pushed the latest Mercedes-AMG G 63 to its limits, now equipped with Active Ride Control for an even more capable off-roader. The wild Lamborghini Urus SE joins the action, delivering thrilling sideways moments, while the electrifying BMW i5 might just be the sporty 5 Series we’ve been waiting for. Plus, the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class takes on the BMW 5 Series in a fierce battle – who comes out on top? Find out inside.

Maruti’s safest car yet, the new Dzire, enters the market, while the Mercedes-Benz EQB gets an AMG Line kit.

Our biggest issue of the year is on stands now – and headlining it is with every generation of the iconic Porsche 911 Turbo! We slipped into the Porsche museum late at night to explore the evolution of this automotive icon. From the 964 to the 992 Turbo S, Porsche’s evolution of the 911 Turbo has pushed the limits of speed, technology, and design at every turn. With innovations like the water-cooled ‘Mezger’ engine, PDK transmission, and active aerodynamics, the 911 Turbo has become a force to be reckoned with. Packed with exclusive insights and behind-the-scenes details, this feature brings you closer to the legend than ever before. We followed that up with a blast through our favourite driving roads with the 911 Turbo S. This collector’s edition issue is a must-read – a tribute to 50 years of speed, precision, and pure driving bliss. 

The new McLaren W1 was just unveiled and we bring you the complete low down. Buckle up as we unleash the Ferrari 12 Cilindri in Germany, take the most powerful Bentley ever – the Continental GT Speed – for a spin, and dive into the electric future with the Mini Countryman E. We get behind the wheel of the refreshed Audi Q8, Mini Cooper S, Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, MG Windsor, Tata Curvv, and Hyundai Alcazar. Embark on a nostalgic journey with the fastest Audis we’ve driven, coming face to face with the first R8 that graced our roads and driving it with the RS e-tron GT. Pushing the Citroen Basalt to its limits, we tackle a gruelling 3500km journey to the desert, while we brave the country’s wettest place in the Hyundai Creta. We relive our Initial D dreams with the Hondas Elevate and City and highlight 11 reasons why the Volkswagen Virtus and Taigun are standouts in their class. We also explore why the 
Swift is a beloved choice for first-time drivers and how the Altroz has earned its reputation as one of the best premium hatchbacks. On two wheels, we review the TVS Apache RR 310, the Triumph Speed T4, and the Hero Destini 125.

This month, evo India takes you on a breathtaking adventure across the Rann of Kutch with the full Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup. Our daring challenge? To craft the iconic three-pointed star logo in the vast salt desert using these luxury machines.

The McLaren F1 is not just a car, it’s a legend. With its blend of raw power, low weight, central driving position, and a focus on the driving experience over the numbers, it has gone down in history as one of the greatest cars ever made. F1 designer, Gordon Murray, has now unveiled its successor, the GMA T.50. Following the same philosophy as the F1, the T.50 emphasises lightweighting and driver involvement. Power and torque are irrelevant when the sensations are so overwhelming. For the first time, these two cars go head to head. Does the T.50 have enough to eclipse the iconic F1? Dive into our latest issue to find out.
There’s more. The new Porsche 911 has arrived, now with hybrid assistance for the first time, and we’ve driven it at Ascari. We’ve also tested the Nissan X-Trail, Skoda Octavia, India-made Range Rover, and Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor. The Lamborghini Revuelto, tested on the road for the first time, and the Porsche 930 Turbo reimagined by Singer are among the most desirable machines in this issue. As for the latest in the automotive world, we have in-depth features on the Red Bull RB17, the forthcoming Tata Curvv, and the new Audi A6 e-tron. Plus, don’t miss our report from the AMG Experience at the Buddh International Circuit.

Posters are back! Before we get to the stories headlining the July issue of evo India, we’re excited to announce the return of one of the best parts of collecting magazines. We’re starting with arguably the greatest poster car of this year — the Bugatti Tourbillon! We have a detailed story on the Tourbillon inside, plus a poster fit for your wall. And this is just the beginning! Expect more exclusive evo India posters over the coming months. Stay subscribed so you don’t miss out.
Back to the July ’24 issue — the magazine is headlined by the Porsche Taycan India relay. This was a record attempt of epic proportions, where a fleet of Taycans drove the Golden Quadrilateral to set the record for the fastest EV relay drive. It was a logistical challenge, tested our endurance (we didn’t stop for anything except car swaps!), and challenged the notion that India isn’t ready for performance electric cars.
We also reviewed the new Audi Q6 e-tron, Mustang GT, Mercedes-Benz EQA, and BMW i5 M60, plus the new Altroz Racer. On two wheels, we dive into the latest cross-country beast from BMW, the R 1300 GS, and explore the latest hottest metal, the Aprilia RS 457. We also head out for a fun day, pitting the Hilux against the Thar RWD and the Himalayan.
No issue of evo India is complete without road trips. First, we drive up the highest motorable pass in Arunachal with the Mercedes-Benz GLC. Next, we fired up some VWs and made our way to the Siachen base camp as part of the new VW Experiences. We were part of the AJAI Bharat Drive, heading to Arunachal in the Mahindra Scorpio N. Then we embarked on another Mahindra drive — the Monastery Escape to Ladakh. We didn’t forget about motorcycles — we rode the Triumph Scrambler 400X through the North East.
Are you in the market for a new car but finding prices too high? The first part of our used heroes series features the Maruti Suzuki Swift.

Mega Mercs – S63 AMG and GLS Maybach – headline June 2024 issue of evo India. Plus reviews of the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale, all-new Maruti Suzuki Swift, Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, and Macan along with a comparison featuring the Hyundai Creta and its rivals
The Mercedes-AMG S 63 E Performance is a mind-boggling car. It combines unparalleled luxury with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 hybrid powertrain that delivers a staggering 791bhp and 1430 Nm of torque, enabling it to achieve a supercar-like 0-100kmph time of just 3.3 seconds. We tested the Edition 1, limited to only three units in India and priced at Rs 3.8 crore.
Equally impressive is the GLS 600 Maybach. The M-word alone signifies its exceptional luxury and quality. Its performance further bolsters its reputation as one of the best SUVs in the world. Merc has taken that appeal to an all-new level now.
First drives include the Maruti Suzuki Swift, Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus Sport, Porsche Taycan Turbo GT, and Porsche Macan. We delve into the details of the latest 911, which makes history as the first-ever hybrid powertrain in the series. We preview the Tata Altroz Racer, a hatchback that's reviving the Thrill of Driving.
Supercars are headlined by the Ferrari SF90 XX Stradale. Next, we get behind the wheel of the new Aston Martin Vantage for both a road and track test of this 656bhp/800Nm beast. Among sports cars, we compare the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S and the BMW M2.
Comparisons include the Hyundai Creta taking on all the mid-size SUVs, and the Mahindra 3XO taking on the Tata Nexon – both diesel and petrol.
How much tech is too much? We examine the high-tech features of modern luxury cars, comparing them to tech found in aeroplanes.
In our two-wheel section, you'll find reviews of the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z, Suzuki V-Strom 800DE, Ather Rizta, and the Yamaha MT-03. We also deep dive into Maserati motorcycles from the 1950s.
The tuned section features a sleeper Mini, and we take you inside the Akrapovič headquarters in Slovenia.

Ferrari's latest creation, the 12Cilindri, is a breathtaking tribute to the timeless allure of pure V12 power. With a design inspired by iconic Ferrari models of the past, including the legendary 365 GTB/4 Daytona, the 12Cilindri takes us back to the time when V12 reigned the supercar world shunning turbos and batteries altogether. Underneath its striking exterior lies a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, delivering an exhilarating 819bhp and revving up to an impressive 9500rpm. And that is what we are celebrating in this issue: one of the world’s greatest automotive manufacturers giving enthusiasts what they desire.

From one V12 to another, we put you in the hot seat of the Ferrari Purosangue. It boasts a 6.5-litre V12 and more ground clearance than any Ferrari before. But Ferrari doesn’t like to call it an SUV. So what is it? We find out. Next on the Ferrari list is the Roma Spider. It's the first soft-top convertible in over half a century. But Ferraris aside, we have plenty more in this issue. Starting with the reviews, we have the much anticipated 5-door Force Gurkha, the BYD Seal, and the Mahindra 3XO. We have also driven the new Jeep Wrangler on a proper off-road trail. We couldn’t do without taking a few road trips – we took the Toyota Camry to Chikkamagaluru, a Mahindra XUV400 to Mahabaleshwar, a Jeep Wrangler in and around Goa, and an epic drive with select Audi S, RS and Q cars in Rajasthan. There is also a very expensive comparo – Range Rover v BMW 7 Series. We have tips on how to maximise EV range using the Tata Punch EV, and how to go rock crawling using the Maruti Suzuki Jimny. And plenty more action on two wheels – we have are reviews of the Honda NX500 and the Bajaj Pulsar N250 and highlights from ‘The Art of The Motorcycle’ gathering in Pune and TVS Apache Racing Experience GP Championship 2024 in Chennai. In our Tuned feature, we have a Hyundai Verna that you do not want to miss.

We’re back to smashing records again! The April 2024 issue of evo India is headlined by our epic record-setting adventure in Volkswagen’s Virtus and Taigun. We’ve smashed the national record for the most distance covered in 24 hours in the Virtus GT and set over 300 other records in the process. This truly showcased the strengths of Indian manufacturing and German engineering, with the 1.5-litre TSI-quipped Virtus smashing a record set by an SUV with a larger 2-litre engine. Driving for 24 hours non-stop with breaks only to fuel up and 
swap drivers is incredibly strenuous on both man and machine. This is a tale of perseverance, grit and pushing through adversity to come out on top.
 Plenty of reviews in this issue – we have driven the new Porsche Panamera, Hyundai Creta N Line, BMW iX 50, BMW XM, Range Rover Sport SV and Toyota Rumion. We also got behind the wheel of the 911 Dakar on ice in Finland, got a sneak peek at the Audi Q6 e-tron and we also bring you an exclusive drive experience of the Mahindra Armado ALSV (Armoured Light Specialist Vehicle), the first vehicle of its kind to be made specifically for the armed forces. Celebrating our favourite mid-engined cars, we compare the Ferrari F430, Lamborghini Gallardo, McLaren 650S and Audi R8 V10. We take an in-depth look at the 512 BB/LM and also take a Porsche 718 Spyder RS on a road trip. Speaking of road trips, we take you to the deserts of Rajasthan to teach you how to go dune bashing in the Jimny. The latest edition of the Audi Experience x Club Rewards Drive saw over 35 Audis converge on an airstrip in the heart of Mumbai for an adrenaline-fuelled evening. An outstanding car from last month’s The Oberoi Concours d’Elegance was the BMW 328. In our two-wheels section, you will find the first ride reviews of the Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle and the Hero Xtreme 125R. We also got to go behind the scenes at Hero’s Neemrana plant to see how a Harley Davidson X440 comes to life.

Headlining the March 2024 issue of evo India is the latest and which now boasts a massive 656bhp and a 0-100kmph time of 3.5sec. We then introduce to you the Aston Martin Vantage GT3, the battle-ready version of the new Vantage ready to take on rivals at various GT championships around the year. We have also got reviews of several facelifts that have come out this month. The Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 is the first, followed by the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Mercedes-Benz GLA and Nissan Z Nismo. Not to forget the Tata Tiago iCNG AMT. We have multiple Porsches as well in this issue, starting with the Porsche 911 Turbo S, 718 GT4 RS, and the mental GT3 RS, all of which we got to drive during the Porsche Experience day at the Buddh International Circuit. On the other side of the world, we drive Porsche’s race-spec cars – the 911 GT3 R and the GT3 Cup. In Finland, we got to be a part of Audi’s ice driving experience. Back on our shores, we visited Udaipur to witness the inaugural Oberoi Concours d’Elegance, the latest show to celebrate historical automotive pieces. Navigated potholes on the way to our favourite driving road in the overtly fancy Aston Martin DB12. And found out if the refreshed Tata Safari can take the fight to the Mahindra XUV700. Taking you back into the past, we reminisce about the W124 E-class, the first locally produced Mercedes-Benz in India. Plus, there are excerpts from author Steve Saxty’s latest book, ‘BMW by Design’ which gives you a never-seen-before look into BMW models. On two wheels, we’ve gotten astride the all-new Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, Hero Xtreme 125R and the Matter Aera 5000+. The California Superbike School returned to India, and we took the opportunity to brush up our riding skills. In our Motorsports section, you will get a deep dive into what the Indian Supercross Racing League is and how the first season of the league went down.

The SF90 XX Stradale is the first street-legal XX car to come out of the Ferrari stables, which until now meant ultra-exclusive track-only models. Updates over the standard SF90 Stradale (which was already ridiculously fast with its 1000bhp V8 hybrid powertrain) include more power, stiffer suspension, better aero, lightweighting and more. To test just how wild the XX is, Ferrari invited us to their Fiorano test track. Also at Fiorano, we drove the legendary Ferrari 308 GTB and a 365 GTB/4 Daytona, a perfect contrast to the XX on the previous pages.
We also have reviews for the Bentley Bentayga EWB, Hyundai Creta, Tata Punch EV, Range Rover Evoque and Toyota GR Yaris Gen 2. We dive deep into the upcoming Alpine A290 EV hot hatch which promises to bring back affordable hot hatches and the 1991 Le Mans winner Mazda 787B, diving into details about its chassis, aero, engine, brakes and more. In the UAE, we got to witness the 1000 Miglia, a regularity trial run of the legendary Mille Miglia. We also drove the new Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray in the USA. Back in India, we continue our search for the Tiger in the second edition of the Hyundai Great India drive, this time going to Pench and Kanha. In our ABC of off-roading driving tutorials, we teach you how to tackle snow and ice. On two wheels, you will find the first ride reviews of the Royal Enfield Shotgun, Aprilia RS 457, Ather 450 Apex, Jawa 350 and the Bajaj Chetak. We compare the TVS Apache RTR 310 and the KTM 390 Duke and also test Hero’s first e-scooter, the Vida V1 Pro. Our motorsport section is headlined by the 2024 Dakar Rally. Apart from the rally report, you will find a separate story on the Hero MotoSports team’s performance at this year's Dakar. In TVS Racing Diaries, we dive into Harith Noah’s performance at the Dakar, the first Indian to climb on to the Dakar podium. 


Which was the ultimate performance car of 2023? The competitors for the evo Car of the Year span the entire spectrum of automotive fun – from hot hatches to sportscars, from grand tourers to the latest fad of off-road supercars.  The list includes  the Alpine A110 R, Aston Martin DB12, BMW M3 CS, Honda Civic Type R, Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato, Maserati GranTurismo Trofeo, McLaren 750S and Porsche’s 911 Carrera T and the GT3 RS. Will Porsche make it back to the top? Will BMW win their third? Or will Maserati make it two on the trot? With the most evocative writing combined with the best automotive photography out there, this is a story for the ages. Get a copy to find out who wins.
Also in this issue, we have driven India’s quickest SUV – the mad Lotus Eletre R with a 0-100kmph time of just 2.95sec and the only sound being the screams of the passenger. We have also driven Mercedes-AMG’s flagship sportscar, the GT63, which promises to overcome the shortcomings of its predecessors. We go hard with the throwbacks, with a 12-page feature dedicated to the Tata Indica. We compare the BMW iX to the X5 to find out what closely priced EV / ICE SUVs get you for your money. As for our road trips this month, we drove the Jimny to Padum which is one of the coldest settlements in the world with temperatures falling well below -10 degrees Celsius. The 12th edition of the Honda Drive to Discover expedition takes us to the Northeast for a 500km scenic drive. On two wheels, we rode Yamaha’s R3 and MT-03, pitted the Himalayan 450 against the Scrambler 400 X, rode to Harley Davidson’s Western H.O.G. rally and attended the IBW and TVS MotoSoul festivals in Goa.

With electric cars being the flavour of 2023, evo India closes out the year with a face-off between three luxury electric SUV titans: the sleek BMW iX, the tech-laden Mercedes-Benz EQE, and the sporty Audi Q8 e-tron Sportback. Buckle up for an exciting battle of power, range, handling, and driving dynamics as these luxury EVs compete for supremacy. But wait, there is more! This issue also includes a review of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, the Korean automaker's first foray into the high-performance electric vehicle market.
 
We have also reviewed the Mercedes-AMG C 43, the Hyundai Santa Fe, the Mercedes-Benz GLE, the Jeep Meridian, the Audi RS 7 Performance, and the Orxa Mantis.

All this and a lot more in the December 2023 issue of evo India

Headlining the November 2023 issue of evo India is the latest and most powerful raging bull from Bologna — the Lamborghini Revuelto coupe. The Revuelto brings the V12 into the future, as it is now paired to hybrid-tech for a combined total output of 1001bhp. Also in this issue is Porsche’s 60th birthday gift to itself, and its fans, in the form of the ultimate driver’s 911 — the 992 911 S/T. Essentially a GT3 RS Touring, complete with a manual gearbox, this Neunelfer will go down in history books as one of the greatest cars of the 21st century! 
We’ve also got reviews of many facelifted SUVs in this issue, including the 2023 Tata Safari and Harrier, BMW X5 and X7, Range Rover Velar and Audi Q8. Not to forget the India-specific Mercedes-Benz G 400d Adventure Edition.
In part three of our ABC of off-roading series with the Maruti Suzuki Jimny, we show you how to tackle Level 1,2 and 3 off-road trails. We’ve also taken a roadtrip to Vadodara to show you a part of India’s newest expressway — the Delhi-Vadodara Expressway — on our Great Driving Roads Series: Expressways Edition. And a deep dive into what went across the country in the Volkswagen #TiguanExperience. On two wheels, we’ve gotten astride the all-new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, Triumph Scrambler 400 X, KTM 250 Duke and TVS X.

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS isn’t a road car for the track. It is a race car for the road. With the 992 gen, Porsche has gone all out – giving the GT3 RS proper race-developed technology from the central radiator F1-like DRS. Applying that same focus of track performance to the engine and chassis leaves you with a car that is so finely honed, that we didn’t even bother driving it on the road. Instead, we took it to the Aamby Valley air strip where we could let that naturally-aspirated 4-litre flat-six scream all the way to its 9000rpm redline. The experience is hair-raising, and also redefines the benchmarks that we thought possible in a road car. An India-exclusive, that celebrates 10 years of evo India! 
 
In this issue, we list out the 20 greatest cars we have driven over the past 10 years of evo India. We've curated this collection that includes favourites like the Subaru Impreza RB5, Nissan GT-R, E46 BMW M3, Lamborghini Gallardo, and the iconic McLaren P1, to showcase the cars that have left a lasting impression over the last 10 years.
 
Headlining the Thrill of Riding biking section, and celebrating Ducati’s win at the inaugural MotoGP Grand Prix of India is an India-first collection of Ducati V4-engined motorcycles – the 
Diavel V4, Multistrada V4, and Streetfighter V4. This issue also includes comprehensive reviews of the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, Tata Nexon EV, KTM Duke 390, and TVS Apache RTR 310. We also bring you coverage from the Outback festival, for adventurers, we head out off-roading with the Grand Vitara, delve into the Honda Civic tuning scene, and head out on a road trip through UP in the Venue N Line.

Headlining the September 2023 issue of evo India is an epic road trip in two V10 icons. Both the Lamborghini Huracan and Audi R8 are at the end of the road and we take the ultimate editions of the V10 – the Huracan Tecnica and Audi R8 GT on an epic road trip to the Stelvio pass. This pass is a driver’s paradise and both these cars, now developed to near perfection, make for a wild ride. Also in this issue, we have in-depth coverage of everything that went on at Mahindra’s Futurescape event with stories on the Thar.e, Global Pik Up, Oja tractor range and interviews with key personnel.

Plenty of action on two wheels as well with two icons that have been refreshed and renewed for 2023 – the Hero Karizma XMR and Royal Enfield Bullet 350.

Maruti Suzuki Jimny or Mahindra Thar? That’s the big question we are asking in the August issue of evo India by taking the 4x4s on road, off-road and even to the drag strip. The action packed issue is also headlined sideways action, on gravel, with the mental Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato. We then travel to the sacred hills of Modena, Italy’s Motor Valley, to full-send the Huracan Tecnica, Urus Performante and Urus S. Also in the issue, we smash the 20-year-old 24 hour speed endurance records for motorcycles with the TVS Apache RR 310 shod on one set of Apollo Alpha H1 tyres. 
Plenty of new cars have hit showrooms in the past month and we’ve reviewed them all. The list includes the Honda Elevate, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q8 e-tron, Hyundai Exter, Citroen C3 Aircross, Kia Seltos, Range Rover SV and also Maruti’s most expensive car – the Invicto. We also drove the Porsche Cayenne through the North East, tested the Ultraviolette F77 on the street, and also check out if the Ather 450S offers a proper Ather experience. We’ve also got something the kids will love – the made-in-India Atom GP1 mini motorcycle. 
All this and more in the August 2023 issue of evo India. 

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport goes head-to-head with the Rimac Nevera in an absolutely ballistic cover story.

This is a story that you don’t wanna miss!
Also in this issue are the two most important bikes of the year – Harley-Davidson X440 and Triumph Speed 400. We have first drive reviews of the Mercedes-AMG SL 55, the iconic two-seat sports coupe which has made a comeback in the Indian market, the mind-blowingly fast Lucid Air Sapphire, the ultra-luxurious Bentley Continental GT S, the all-new Maserati Grecale and a couple of updated SUVs — the 2023 BMW X1 and Hyundai Alcazar turbo-petrol.
The feature section is headlined by our new record for the fastest crossing of the Rann of Kutch in the VW Virtus GT. That’s not all, we’ve kicked-off a new series, which is a continuation of our popular Great Driving Roads stories, where we will be exploring all the new expressways of India. We’ve started with the one that has been in the news lately, Maharashtra’s longest expressway  — the Samruddhi Mahamarg. We also have a look at Maranello’s flagship hypercar — the Ferrari SF90 XX and the prancing horse’s epic domination at the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. Also read about our adventure to the world’s highest tea estate with the Toyota Hilux, a trip to Goa to experience free fall in the Renault Triber and a meetup with an enthusiastic Nissan Magnite owner. And a first drive in the Aston DB12 from Monaco to France's highest road.

The latest issue puts the Maruti Suzuki Jimny in the spotlight. While the Jimny was launched internationally in 2018 and even production in India started in 2021 for exports, the domestic market didn’t get it. Earlier this year, Maruti unveiled the 5-door Jimny at Auto Expo along with an announcement that the Jimny is finally coming to India, carrying forward the legacy of the Gypsy. But it isn’t going to be easy! The Mahindra Thar has revolutionised the segment by being a capable off-roader and also an SUV you can enjoy in the city. Can Jimny do the same? That’s what we find out in the latest issue.
Also in this issue, we get our hands on the BMW M2. The M2 is a throwback to the M cars we know and love – two doors, six cylinders and … the manual gearbox! Where the i7 (that’s also in this issue) is pushing boundaries of what to expect from BMW in terms of electrification, the M2 goes right back to its roots. 
But that’s not all! We also have reviews of the Porsche Cayenne, BMW XM, Tata Altroz iCNG, and the BMW i7. We’ve gone on some epic road trips – taking the Tata Punch up one of the toughest trails in the country, and with the 911 Dakar through Europe, with a bit of off-roading thrown in there. The final part of the Thrill of Driving series teaches you how to slide a FWD car on gravel, and we give you the lowdown from the Jakarta E-Prix. On two wheels, we test out the newest KTM – the 390 adventure spoke wheel variant -- and also test if Chinese manufacturer QJ Motor has what it takes to fight with the market leaders.

We also find out which is the best BMW 3 Series, the M340i or the 320Ld. Plus first drives of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx and the MG Comet EV, track experience with the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 SE Performance, tutorial on how to slide a FWD car, Himalayan adventures with the Grand Vitara and more

Turbo battles Turbo in the latest issue of evo India magazine, as Porsche’s fast four-door sport sedans – ICE Panamera Turbo S and all-electric Taycan Turbo S — go head-to-head for the first time ever. Does EV best ICE? Find out in the latest issue of evo India magazine.

Also in this issue are first drive reviews of Maruti Suzuki’s crossover, the Fronx, the radical urban weapon that is the MG Comet EV, our experience on the Samruddhi Mahamarg Expressway with the Tata Altroz, the latest Chevrolet Corvette Z06, an ownership experience of the Porsche GT4 right here in India and even a tutorial on how to drift a FWD car.

 All this and more in the May 2023 issue of evo India!

In what is possibly evo India’s biggest and most incredible story yet, we get aboard the INS Vikrant, India’s first indigenous air craft carrier. We also got an opportunity to drive down the flight deck with the Mahindra XUV700, XUV300 and Scorpio-N. INS Vikrant is a magnificent testament to make-in-India and to kick off the 7000km Sam No Varuna coastal drive, we have taken three made-in-India SUVs on board the flight deck. This is a story of epic proportions, where we got up and personal with a mega feat of Indian engineering, and the brave men and women that serve on board the carrier. It isn’t often that we don’t have cars on the cover of the magazine, but this is something extra special. 
In this issue, we have also undertaken the epic K2K record run in the Tata Nexon EV where we drove 4000km from Srinagar to Kanyakumari in less than four days. We have reviews of the new Hyundai Verna, Toyota Hilux, Lamborghini Huracan Tecnica, Tata Harrier Red Dark and BMW M4 manual. We get a first look at the new Lamborghini Revuelto, while taking a look back the Volkswagen XL1 and Peugeot’s Le Mans icons. We have performance driving tutorials in the XUV300 Turbosport, a skiing trip in the Renault Triber and a track side look at the Red Bull Show Run in Mumbai. On two wheels, we have ridden the updated Bajaj Pulsar NS160 and NS200.


The  Porsche Cayman GT4 RS is a melting pot of some epic ingredients. The sublime mid-engined chassis of the 718-gen Cayman, the unhinged motorsport-derived 4.0 flat-six engine from the 911 GT3, lightweighting and aerodynamics from the hallowed GT department. Together they deliver a driving experience that is near incomparable to anything else out there. Launched in India late last year, we have driven a highly specced example on Indian roads in an attempt to find out if it is the greatest Porsche, nay the greatest sportscar, off all time. With incredible numbers, but more importantly, incredible sensations delivered to the driver, this car truly delivers on the Thrill of Driving. 
Also in this issue, we have brought you all of the updates from Auto Expo 2023 including Tata and Maruti Suzuki’s big announcements, we review the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Citroen E-C3, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, MG Hector facelift and Force Urbania. We head out on epic road trips in the Kia EV6 GT, Honda City Hybrid and McLaren 765 LT Spider. We also bring you in-depth coverage of everything that went on at Dakar 2023. On two wheels, we have reviewed the new Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Ultraviolette F77 and Hero Xoom 110 just to name a few. 
All this and more in the February 2023 issue of evo India!

It’s that time of the year again, where we bring together the finest enthusiast cars that we have driven over the last year, and hit the road for the ultimate test — evo Car of the Year. We have an incredible line up of contenders this year — there’s Italian exotica in the form of the Ferrari 296 GTB and Maserati MC20, the McLaren Artura and Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD rep the supercars, while sport cars in every shape and size make an appearance — from the humble Toyota GR86, to the mighty Mercedes-AMG SL 55 and the track honed Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS. The line-up wouldn’t be complete without a fast sedan, and this year, we’ve got the BMW M4 CSL repping that class of cars. These cars may not compete with each other directly – there’s no way an GR86 will keep up with a Ferrari down a fast road — but this isn’t a story about outright performance. It is about which care delivers that mercurial sensation that is the Thrill of Driving, and there can be only one winner. Which one is it? You’re going to have to read the magazine to find out! 
There’s more in this issue — we’ve reviewed the updated Audi Q8 e-tron, Range Rover Sport, BMW 3 Series and even the 7 Series. The Tata Tiago EV is an all-new car that has serious potential in our market. As for our signature road trips, we’ve taken a whole host of AMGs on a road trip through Gujarat on the AMG Emotion Tour, attempted to scale the mighty Umling La in the Hyundai Tucson and blasted through south India in the Macan GTS. On two wheels, we ride the Bajaj Pulsar P150 and get astride the Continental GT-650R race bike.

We’re ending 2022 seeing red — the stunning Ferrari Daytona SP3 headlines the December issue of the magazine. If there’s any brand that has a rich legacy to leverage, it is Ferrari. Born to race, its road cars have always been an extension of the race programme and never the other way around — an attempt to fund the racing activities. The SP3 draws its legacy from Ferrari’s most tumultuous time in endurance racing, the 1960s. Having dominated the early bit of the decade, Ferrari faced the challenge from Ford and we know how that ended. The super exclusive SP3 tries to encapsulate the ethos of those race cars — the P3, the P4 — in a cutting edge, modern package. We have a go at it on road and track. 
Picking up from there, we also look in to Ferrari’s highs and lows in racing through the ’60s and also drive the 296 GTB to Le Mans and understand more about its endurance racing aspirations. We’ve reviewed a slew of new SUVs this month — the Audi Q3, Mercedes-Benz GLB and EQB, BMW X7 facelift, BYD Atto 3 and Jeep Grand Cherokee, not to mention the much awaited Toyota Innova HyCrosss. We head out on an epic road trip in the Hyundai Tucson to the Himalayas, have a go in Audi’s Dakar challenger, drive Hyundai’s concept EVs, and take to the track with Audi’s RS cars. 
On two wheels, we attend the two biggest festivals of the year — India Bike Week and Ridermania, get astride TVS Racing’s most advanced race bike yet and review a couple of new electric scoots. 

All this and so much more in the year-end issue of evo India magazine!

The November issue of evo India has the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S fully sideways — not an uncommon sight on the cover of this magazine but this is different. This isn’t any old sideways shot, but this is the A 45 S on its way in to the India Book of Records for holding the longest drift by a 4-wheeler in India. With editor Sirish Chandran behind the wheel and running on Vredestein tyres, this little AWD monster put its drift mode to good use, sliding constantly for a whole 10 minutes and 23 seconds to set this new national record. What follows is an epic story which you do not want to miss. 
Also in this issue are reviews of plenty of new cars — the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Lamborghini Urus Performante, Mercedes-Benz EQB that’s soon to be launched in India, Mahindra XUV300 TGDI, Lexus RC-F very sideways at the Chennai race track and Aston Martin DBX 707. We’ve also pit the new Range Rover against the S-Class in a bid to see which is the best car in the world. Additionally we get under the skin of the BMW M2 and Aryton Senna’s 1991 McLaren Formula 1 car. We also dig deeper in to what allowed the Skoda Kushaq and VW Taigun get the coveted five-star G-NCAP crash safety rating. On two wheels, we headed to the Thailand round of the MotoGP championship, ride the Hero Vida and get talking with the CEO and founder of Tork Motors, Kapil Shelke. 

This is it. After 2022, Lamborghini will focus on electrification plans marking the end of the road for some truly iconic engines. Engines that have fuelled dreams, shared joy, and put smiles on faces. At evo India, we are celebrating these epic engines for in 9th anniversary issue. The cover breaks new ground – featuring an illustration, something that has never been attempted before. And on the inside, we’ve got epic stories featuring all of Lamborghini’s engine lines – the V8, V10 and V12. We let the Urus lose on the Bharatmala road and in the sand dunes of the Thar desert. We let the V10 of the Huracan Evo scream on our favourite driving roads. The Aventador Ultimae represents the last of the V12s, and we get behind the wheel of one of only two Roadsters allocated to India (and the first of 250 worldwide). There’s more Lambo content, including an exclusive interview with Sharad Agarwal, head of Lamborghini India, and a blast from the past featuring icons like the Countach, Diablo, Murcielago and Gallardo. 
As is tradition, we have undertaken a massive challenge for this anniversary issue, having attempted to climb Umling La, the highest motorable road in the world in the Tata Nexon EV Max. We have also road tripped to Hampi in the Audi A8 L and to Nashik in the Hyundai i20 N Line. We haven’t forgotten all the new metal that launched this month. We’ve reviewed the Mercedes-Benz EQS 580, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara (spoiler alert, we love the AWD), Mahindra XUV400, Skoda Enyaq Coupe RS iV, Hyundai Venue N Line and Citroen C5 Aircross. On two wheels, we have reviewed the Suzuki Katana, the Moto Morini and Zontes motorcycles, and compared the most popular electric scooters in the country today.

20 sports cars to the roof of the world, Taigun on the Border Patrol, reviews of the EQS 53 AMG, Hyryder Hybrid, Tucson, Alto, Hunter 350 and more adventures in the September issue of evo India.

Mod Ball Run: We slapped a set of Vredestein Ultrac Vorti I rubber on the Mercedes-AMG GLA 35 and joined 20 enthusiasts and their sports cars, experiencing a mix of roads snaking up the passes of Zoji La and Khardung La, and proving that India has plenty of roads for petrol heads to explore.

Border Patrol: To celebrate the 75th anniversary of India’s independence, and the 1st anniversary of the VW Taigun, we drove from Tanot in Rajasthan to Nadabet in Gujarat along the Bharatmala and the Border Fence Road, setting a record for the longest drive along India’s western border.

Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+: The first-ever electric AMG may be devoid of a thunderous exhaust note but it goes like stink when you drop the hammer.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Hybrid: India’s first mass-market hybrid delivers stunning fuel efficiency but does it deliver on the Thrill of Driving?

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara: A short spin with the AWD and mild-hybrid at Maruti Suzuki’s sprawling R&D facility

Hyundai Tucson: Now featuring an entirely revamped design language and plusher cabin, while continuing with the tried and tested powertrains.

Maruti Suzuki Alto K10: Makes a comeback with the promise of cheerful motoring on a budget. 

Harley Davidson Pan-America to Spiti: The Ed heads out on the ‘ride of a lifetime’ to Spiti encountering extreme conditions he will never forget

Royal Enfield Hunter 350: The roadster is even more agile, zippy and fun to ride

Honda CB300F: Aimed at younger audiences it promises to be the jack of all trades.

Keeway Sixties 300i: Retro-themed scooter with a 300cc engine and Rs 2.99 lakh price tag.

TUNED: Doc Nirmal Krishnan’s daily is a 700bhp BMW M5 Competition that can shame most sports cars in a traffic light GP.

Lamborghini’s screaming V10 will soon be retired, and we’ve got the Huracan Tecnica — the last production Huracan on the cover. The Tecnica is the last in the line of an incredibly accomplished family of mid-engined supercars, whose origins can be traced all the way back to the very first Gallardo. The Tecnica sits between the Evo and the STO, with the STO’s mental, dialled-up-to-11 engine with a chassis that makes it far more useable on the road. It remains an accomplished track car as we find out at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Spain. Sharing space on the cover are two cars that push the boundaries of what we know of luxury cars — the Audi A8 L is here in its facelifted form, and the segment-creating Mercedes-Benz EQS.
Also in this issue, we have reviews of the Volkswagen Virtus with the 1-litre TSI engine, the 2022 Renault Kiger, the Bentley Bentayga S and Porsche 718 Spyder. We’ve got plenty of comparo action as well — the Honda City Hybrid takes on the Volkswagen Virtus GT, while we put the Mahindra Scorpio-N up against the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour. We’ve brought together ever Polo ever sold in the country for our Gone But Not Forgotten special, and handed over the keys to the Scorpio-N to friends of evo India to see what they think of it. We haven’t forgotten about our road-trips either, having taken the facelifted Hyundai Venue to Tamhini ghat and the KTM 390 Adventure to Spiti.
Plenty of action on two wheels this month — we’ve ridden the mad Ducati Hypermotard RVE, the TVS Ronin and the new Pulsar N160. Electric scooters like the new Ather 450X and Simple One continue to push the boundaries. We also bring you all the action from TVS’ one make championship running with the ARRC.

Its rare for an SUV to be on the cover of evo India magazine but the Mahindra Scorpio-N turned out to be such a deeply impressive machine, that it deserved the hero shot. There’s so much to talk about with the new Scorpio — the fact that it remains body-on-frame, its epic 4x4 ability, the improved ride comfort, the fact that it goes around corners, the refinement and performance of the engines, the comfort and space it offers — it is so far evolved from the old Scorpio, and is all the better for it. Sitting in one of the most hotly contested segments in the market, the Scorpio-N stands tall amongst its competition for remaining an authentic SUV, without the traditional compromises of one. Our cover story gets in to the thick of the details — telling you everything you need to know about the new Scorpio-N! We have followed it up with a technical deep dive to give you a better understanding of the engineering behind it, and what makes it drive the way it does. 
Also in this issue, we have reviews of the Citroen C3, facelifted Hyundai Venue, the new Maruti Suzuki Ertiga CNG and the updated Maruti Suzuki Brezza. We have also driven the last nat-asp V12 car from Lamborghini, the Aventador Ultimae. We’ve gone on some epic road trips — taking the Porsche Macan to the MMRT, the Innova Crysta to Goa, the Nissan Magnite to north India and the Hyundai i20 turbo to Kolli hills in Tamil Nadu. On two wheels, we’ve compared either end of the ADV spectrum by putting the BMW R 1250 GS against the Xpulse 200, ridden the new RC 390 on track, experienced racing on the TVS one-make bikes and ridden through a deluge-hit Nepal on TVS’ 125s!
