Highlights of Auto Today dated October, 2015. In the second issue of Auto Today, we preview the recently revealed and soon-to-be-launched Maruti-Suzuki Baleno and delve into what this crucial launch packs. Lots of new car launches in the past month including the Renault Kwid and Ford Figo hatchback. Watch out for their first drive reports too. It’s raining SUVs this month with a glimpse of the upcoming and promising Toyota Fortuner. The Mahindra TUV300 takes the cover and shares road-space with the Ford Ecosport in a battle to top our extensive road test. The Ed drives Audi’s latest flagship, the Q7 in Switzerland while the suave Volvo XC90 is put through its paces in the beautiful ghats of Lavasa. We’ve got all the action from this year’s Rainforest Challenge with a closer look into the star of the show – the Force RFC Gurkha. We also checkout Chevy’s new Trailblazer while the compacts fight it out as the king of the segment, Renault’s Duster is pitted against new kids in the block, Maruti-Suzuki’s S-Cross and Hyundai’s Creta. A good two weeks were spent on the road crossing the country from one end to the other. With over 15,000kms covered by two Mercedes-Benz CLA cars on the best and worst of roads, we give you the first part of our epic X’ing India Challenge. The motorcycle scene is abuzz with Harley announcing their 2016 line-up, Hero MotoCorp launching two new scooters, MV Augusta announcing their arrival and much more. We get astride Honda’s latest in-line four the CBR 650F and tell you about it. The Indian Chief Dark Horse engulfs us in some black magic and leaves us spellbound. Honda and Yamaha get us back to reality with their 110cc Livo and 125cc Saluto motorcycles. Like to record your rides and drives? Some of the latest in portable camera tech has been featured for you.
