Highlights of Auto Today dated February 2019 issue:
The second month of the New Year brings a journey that envisages thousands of kilometres. We made one such journey, a reality by travelling across the North American continent on the Trans-Canadian Highway that took us from East to West of Canada. White scenery, beautiful roads and 18 pages worth of Winter Wonderland covered in this month’s big feature story. A big, new small-car makes it to our cover as the big, new Wagon R has been launched in an all-new avatar after successfully reigning sales charts and the hearts of the Indian audience for the last two decades. If you do like hatchbacks then there’s more as three important cars battle for top honours in our Road Test of the month. The new Santro takes on the Celerio and Tiago, all of which bring forth their popular automated-manual transmission variants to the test. The Germans take up spaces in our First Drive section with the new BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz GLE and the MINI Countryman. The Range Rover Velar has gone through a mild refresh too and we fill you in on the details in our Refreshed section. More German machinery comes our way but this time on two wheels as we take the BMW F 750 GS and F 850 GS on an adventure of our own to see if they fit their tags of being adventure motorcycles. We’ve also got all the dope from the Detroit Motor Show, the epic Dakar Rally and take break under the stars on a weekend getaway with the Hyundai Santro. There is of course, our updates on the Long Term fleet as well as news on the latest developments in the automotive universe in the Update section. Enjoy this issue of Auto Today and happy motoring until next month.
