This month, we bring the spotlight to India's favourite kind of car - SUVs. There are soft roaders such as the VW Tiguan and Hyundai Tucson getting into a fist fight, compact SUVs and crossovers such as the Maruti Brezza and Honda WR-V quibbling.

Yet another crossover but of a very different kind, the Lexus RX450h and a full-blown beast of a luxury SUV, the Lexus LX450d go off the road and all over the place. Then there's the Volvo V90 Cross Country expanding on the estate presence here.

A new Force Gurkha splashes about in a field, a Defence vehicle trudges over inhospitable terrain (It's a 6X6), a special edition Mercedes-AMG G63 gets down and dirty, and we also search for the best SUV in the world.

Obviously, that's not all. We've also driven the new Skoda Octavia, the new BMW 5-series, the Suzuki GSX-R1000R, the Datsun redi-Go 1.0 and the Honda Cliq. It's an action packed issue cover to cover. Enjoy.

The hallmark of a good SUV is that it can operate outside of its comfort zone. Does it hold true for India’s newest luxury brand?
