BBC TopGear Sri Lanka Magazine - April 2018

In this issue

We’re celebrating the holiday season by giving you an entire 48-page mini-magazine absolutely free with the April edition of TopGear Sri Lanka! It’s your own handy guide to the electric & hybrid revolution, with everything from the new Jaguar I-Pace to the Vega project detailed inside. Also in the mini-mag is an exclusive local dual between the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius, as well as a compilation of every new electric and hybrid car on sale in Sri Lanka, in one concise A-Z.

Meanwhile, we keep our sensible-caps on as we look at some of the more popular cars that are taking over Sri Lanka, starting with the latest tax-busting sensation to hit the island, the 1000cc Honda Civic! But are three-cylinders enough for this family saloon to stay competitive? Find out with our first drive!

But just in case reduced cylinders aren’t quite your thing, we’ve still got a hold of two of Sri Lanka’s most iconic Bavarian brutes for one epic, 18-combined-cylinder road trip that is sure to reinvigorate the petrol head within. What else? Well, we summit a mountain in an Ariel Nomad, drive an ex-Colin McRae Impreza 22B across Tokyo, and get a Mercedes X-Class stuck in the Andes. We’ve also tested the new Mazda CX-9, Audi Q7, Yamaha R3 and Aprilia SR150, all at home in sunny Sri Lanka.
