Highlights of Auto Today May 2025 edition: The May issue is out on stands, and this one comes action-packed with the latest from the Indian automobile industry. First order of business is Volkswagen’s flagship SUV, which puts the sport back in SUV, and also the first R-Line model in the country. We also have a comprehensive review of the Toyota Vellfire, the luxurious yet practical people carrier with special emphasis on the second row of seats. Another key highlight from this issue is the latest member of the Hero’s Xoom family, which is meant to be a sportier offering in the 125cc scooter segment in the country. There’s also a complete low-down on the latest Chinese manufacturer’s imminent arrival in India, which happens to be a joint venture with automotive giant Stellantis. Kia’s flagship electric SUV, the EV9, has also arrived on our shores, and we’ve had a go in it to test if it can hold its own in the competitive EV space. Tata Tiago.ev, the homegrown brand’s entry-level offering in the electric vehicle segment, has been driven as well, and we list out all the important updates it gets compared to the older model. Apart from this, the Harley-Davidson Street Glide, one of America’s most prominent brands’ grand tourers, is also a part of our exciting collection of first rides. Speaking of exciting, there’s also the iQube ST, the range-topping variant of TVS’ electric scooter and the Revolt RV Blaze X in this issue of Auto Today. Honda’s more affordable sibling to the Activa e: is also a part of this month’s loaded menu of electrifying content. Our Long Term section includes monthly reports on the Maruti Suzuki Swift, Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hero Xtreme 125R, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, Ather Rizta and TVS Jupiter. As always, we have all the latest news from around the world, including motorcycles, cars, motorsport and commercial vehicles. Don’t forget to grab a copy and enjoy the latest Auto Today issue. Always remember to drive safely with seatbelts on, regardless of seating position and ride safely while wearing helmets at all times.
