Who Gets ADAS Right for India?

The January 2026 issue of autoX puts the spotlight on one of the most consequential shifts in modern motoring – Advanced Driver Assistance Systems – with our most rigorous Mega Test yet.

We tested the latest ADAS suites from six of India’s leading carmakers to find out how they perform on Indian roads. From the Tata Safari and Maruti Suzuki Victoris to the Toyota Innova Hycross, Mahindra XEV 9S, Hyundai Creta N Line, and Kia Carens Clavis EV, this is a definitive reality check on the latest driver assistance systems.

We also bring you first-drive reviews of some of the most anticipated new models, including the reborn Tata Sierra, the new Kia Seltos, and Maruti Suzuki’s e Vitara, as India’s largest carmaker takes its most important step yet into the EV space. On two wheels, we ride the Harley-Davidson X440 T and spend time with Yamaha’s XSR 155 to assess whether its retro promise translates into everyday usability.

Context and perspective come from our regular voices. Dhruv Behl’s Letter from the Editor examines how poor service experiences are constraining the expansion of India’s luxury car market, while Srinivas Krishnan challenges common assumptions around crash-test scores in a clear-eyed opinion piece on why a 5-star NCAP rating is not a safety guarantee.

Add to that an exclusive interview with Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola, long-term garage updates, cutting-edge Xite tech news, and a deep dive into how AI is redefining motorcycle safety, and the January 2026 issue of autoX sets the tone for the year ahead. It’s out on stands - get your copy now!
