Best Performance Car in India under a Crore? 🏎‍🟀💰

In this month’s issue, we answer the big question — what’s the best performance car under ₹1 crore in India? From the iconic Golf GTI and the more practical Octavia RS to the mighty BMW M340i and the tech-loaded MG Cyberster, we put them head-to-head to find the ultimate driver’s machine.

The OG Compact SUV — the Renault Duster — is back, and we drive it in the hills of Dehradun to see if it can reclaim its throne.

Royal Enfield steps into the future with its first-ever electric motorcycle — the Flying Flea. But does it ride like a true RE? We find out.

We also drive the all-new Mercedes CLA EV to see if this marks a turning point for the brand in India, and throw a leg over Ducati’s first motocross bike — the Desmo450 MX.

Plus, first drive review of the Skoda Kushaq facelift, a deep dive into the Convergence India Expo 2026, and a special moment as Shivank meets his hero — Dani Pedrosa — and rides a race-spec KTM Duke 390 with him.

Also inside — the World Car of the Year 2026 winners and everything else that matters in the world of automobiles.

All these stories, and a lot more in the April 2026 issue of autoX. Out on stands, get your copy now!
