Highlights of Auto Today September 2025 issue:
The latest edition of Auto Today is now on stands! The October issue of Auto Today is packed with reviews, drives, and updates from the world of automobiles.

Our cover story focuses on Maruti Suzuki’s latest SUV, the Victorious, poised to challenge the Hyundai Creta’s long-standing dominance. With nationwide availability through Arena showrooms, can Maruti’s newest contender make a real impact? We find out through an extensive on- and off-road test.

In the two-wheeler segment, Hero MotoCorp introduces the Xoom 160, one of India’s first affordable maxi-scooters. Our team tested it in Pune to see if it can recreate the success of the Xpulse.

From IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich, we bring highlights from global launches including the BMW iX3, Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric, and Škoda Eqic.

The Drives section features the Mercedes-Benz CLE 53 AMG, an all-new two-door coupé powered by a six-cylinder motor, aiming to revive AMG’s balance of style and performance. We also review the updated Renault Kiger, which sports a refreshed look and new features.

In the Rides section, the TVS Ntorq 150 steps up with a stronger engine and redesigned styling, while the Hero Glamour X combines sporty appeal with executive sophistication.

We also break down the implications of GST 2.0 reforms for India’s automotive sector, examining their impact across segments. Plus, join us for Honda’s Drive to Discover 13, an inspiring road trip through Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

Our Long-Term Fleet continues with updates on the MG Windsor, Honda Amaze, Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350, and Ather 450X.
