Highlights of Auto Today dated October 2020 issue: The October issue of Auto Today is packed with SUVs starting with our review of the new generation Mahindra Thar. Mahindra has reinvented the iconic 4x4 infusing modern elements with a classic design and we tell you just how good it now is. MG has launched a new SUV in the Indian market called Gloster and we review it to find out if it has what it takes to take the fight to the formidable Toyota Fortuner. The SUV theme continues with our Top Story on another iconic SUV, the Land Rover Defender, which has just gone on sale in India. We get behind the wheel of the updated Tata Nexon and put the newly launched Kia Sonet up against segment leaders Hyundai Venue and Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza as our rigorous Road Tests determine which one is the best. The October issue of Auto Today also features reviews of the Lexus LS 500h luxury sedan and the exciting new Hyundai Grand i10 Nios Turbo. The Pride of India series with Hyundai continues as we head to the mountains of Uttarakhand's Kumaon region in search of good roads and to learn more about the region's rich history and colonial-era architecture. For those who prefer two wheels to four, the latest issue packs reviews of the new Yamaha Ray ZR and ZR Street Rally scooters, the Husqvarna Vitpilen and the updated Royal Enfield Classic 350. Plus, we take on the hinterland with the TVS Radeon. As always, there is all the news from the Indian and international automotive scene as well as updates on our long term fleet as we bid farewell to the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso and Hyundai Venue and welcome the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Kia Sonet and Benelli Imperiale into our fleet. Enjoy the October issue of Auto Today and until next month, ride and drive safe!
