Highlights of Auto Today - April 2024 issue: The latest issue of Auto Today magazine is out now featuring the newest cars, motorcycles and developments from the domestic and international automotive space. As is often the case these days, dominating the issue and the cover this month are SUVs from entry-level to high-end luxury segments. Mahindra has given its sub-4m compact SUV a comprehensive makeover, a new name and premium features, all aspects covered in detail in our review of the XUV 3XO. There are reviews of the latest iterations of two legendary names that blend modern luxury with hardcore off-road capability - the Mercedes-Benz G 400d and the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. We've also driven the new, more affordable version of the all-electric Volvo XC40 Recharge along with the refreshed BMW X7 and Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe. Our Top Story takes a look at the road ahead for Volkswagen in India and its plans of entering the growing EV segment while the Update section covers all the latest happenings from the domestic, international, motorsports and commercial vehicles arena. This issue features all the winners from the 2024 World Car Awards ceremony and a round-up of the best cars, new launches and major announcements from the 2024 New York International Auto Show. The second part of our trip to Dubai shares yet more reasons for auto enthusiasts to head there to indulge their love for all things motoring. The First Ride section has reviews of the stylish new Hero Xtreme 125R and the updated Bajaj Pulsar N250, and we also take a closer look at a new electric scooter, the Ather Rizta. Joining our long term test fleet this month is the Kia Sonet and, as always, we've got updates on the rest of the cars and motorcycles the team has been living with including the Hyundai Verna,
