autoX Magazine - September 2018

In this issue

This time around we have a very special issue, especially if you are an off-road enthusiast. For we take you on a journey from the very inception of the four-wheel drive vehicle along a chronological timeline that brings you to the modern SUV of today. In this feature, we show you the core traits of the original concept of an off-road vehicle and about how that evolved over the decades to culminate in the tech-savvy and luxurious concept of SUVs that we have today.
Speaking of today, we’ve also lined up a comparison test between the updated versions of the Mahindra XUV500 and Hyundai Creta. Additionally, we also tell you how the entry-level luxury crossover space is about to turn into a battleground as the Jaguar E-Pace and new Audi Q3 prepare to enter the segment in the coming time. And then there’s more SUV talk as we get our hands on the new Range Rover Sport and Range Rover LWB.
If SUVs aren’t your thing though, the new issue also packs the tail-happy experience we've had with the explosive new BMW M Competition duo – M2 and M5 – at the Ascari racetrack. And for those of you who don’t like taking the wheel often, we’ve compared the Mercedes-Benz S-Class with the BMW 7 Series – from the rear seat.
Two-wheel enthusiasts will be treated with Ducati’s latest Monster 821 in the pages of our September issue, while we’ve also tested Suzuki’s new Burgman Street maxi-scooter this month.
