Autocar India - September - 2015

En este número

Autocar India completes 16 years this month and we’ve put together one massive issue for you. SUVs seem to be the flavour of the season, and we’ve got a lot of them this time. The big, burly Chevy Trailblazer is headed to our showrooms soon, and we’ve had exclusive time behind the wheel. We’ve also gotten behind the wheel of its competition, the new Ford Endeavour, in Thailand. The Tata Hexa is the next new product in the carmaker’s revised line-up, and we have an exclusive in-depth preview of what this SUV is all about. So your new crossover has AWD, but how far can it take you? We’ve pushed five soft-roaders to their breaking point to find out. We’ve also taken an in-depth look at two upcoming SUVs – the Honda BR-V and Mitsubishi Pajero Sport – and put the new BMW X6 up against that other sweet-handling 4x4, the Porsche Cayenne. Also, we have a huge comparison test – the Hyundai Creta and the Maruti S-Cross find themselves in a mix with the Duster, Terrano and the XUV500. We’ve also driven the new Skoda Superb, and can tell you that the entry luxury sedan is in its most capable avatar yet. The Punto Evo is about to get a whole lot more exciting, thanks to added sting in its tail from the nutters at Abarth. 143bhp for less than Rs 10 lakh – where do we sign up? And, in our annual tradition, Narain Karthikeyan has his way with this year’s best driver’s cars around the Sriperumbudur race track in Chennai. A rip-snorting new Audi R8? Sure. Two Maseratis in Mumbai? Why not. A BMW i8 versus a Boeing 787 jet? Of course! All this and a lot more in the 16th anniversary issue of Autocar India.
