Highlights of Auto Today - October 2023 issue: We're celebrating our 8th Anniversary with the latest issue of Auto Today and this one's bigger, more action-packed than usual. The cover stars this time are the massively upgraded Tata Harrier and Safari flagship SUVs that have received a major makeover both inside and outside. There's an exclusive review of the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV that we've driven in Canada to experience what is currently the epitome of all-electric high-end luxury. There's also a review of the recently launched Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV and a First Drive of the Volkswagen ID.Buzz. We've driven the updated Range Rover Velar and the new Nissan Magnite AMT variant as well. This month's Top Story details Nissan's future plans for the Indian market and the features section is packed as well with the Icons of India series, the best from the Japan Mobility Show 2023, and a trip to Gurez Valley in the Hyundai Ioniq along with a comprehensive report on the India's very first MotoGP. The newly launched Honda Elevate takes on established rivals including the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and VW Taigun in our Road Test with a detailed comparison of all relevant aspects of these mid-size SUVs. The First Ride section includes reviews of the Triumph Scrambler 400 X and the TVS X electric scooter and a preview of the Aprilia RS 457. As always, we've got all the major updates from the domestic, international, commercial and motorsport landscape and updates on our long term fleet that includes the Hyundai Verna, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, MG Comet and the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650.
