Highlights of Auto Today – October 2025 Issue

Auto Today turns 10, and our special anniversary issue is packed with exciting first drives, first rides and standout features. Leading the celebrations is the new-generation Hyundai Venue, now with global design cues, more space and added features. Also on the cover is our epic expedition with two Mahindra 4x4 SUVs, including a memorable drive to the highest motorable road in the world.

In first drives, we test the updated Renault Triber with the AT tribe and experience the Mercedes-Benz GLS AMG Line. Adding performance to the mix are the most powerful Mini yet, the Countryman JCW All4, and the bold V8-powered Land Rover Defender.

To mark our decade, we’ve curated 10 legendary voyages, 10 breakthrough tech innovations and the 10 best EVs across price segments. Motorsport lovers can dive into our JK Tyre Levitas Cup coverage, where our in-house racer returned to the track with success. We also head to Graz, Austria, for an exclusive look at the latest Mercedes G-Class.

Our first rides section features the much-awaited TVS Apache RTX, Ducati’s new single-cylinder motor, the futuristic Ultraviolette X47, and Honda’s sportiest 125cc newcomer. We also review Aprilia’s 175cc scooter and the newest entry in the Duke family, the 160.

Our Long Term Garage brings updates on the Kia Carens, MG Windsor, Honda Amaze, Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and Ather Rizta, along with the latest global automotive news.

Grab your copy—and remember to drive safe, buckle up and always wear a helmet.
