Highlights of Auto Bild dated May 20th, 2014

SUVs galore: As temperatures rise, the action in the Indian SUV segment too is heating up. We drive three new SUVs that will hit the road this summer. Read our exclusive first drive report of the Toyota Etios Cross. The Etios hatch looks much grown up with plenty of body cladding and skid plates. Should you think that the Cross is too soft for your taste then read about our drive report of the new BMW X5. The new X5 looks even more aggressive than before with performance and features to boot. Apart from that, we drive Porsche’s second SUV, Macan, which will be launched in India in July. This premium luxury compact SUV can handle any kind of terrain with aplomb.

Petrol hatch match: We pit the immensely popular Hyundai Grand i10 in its petrol avatar against some of the big-daddies of the segment like the Ford Figo, Honda Brio and the evergreen Maruti-Suzuki Swift.

An unusual comparison: While leading an environmentally friendly lifestyle is socially responsible, but does it makes sense to buy an electric car in compared to a conventional petrol powered hatch. To find the answers we deiced to pit the Mahindra e2o against the Nissan Micra.

High octane: After the first four races of the 2014 Formula One calendar out of the way, it’s clear that Mercedes is head and shoulders above the rest of the grid. We take a look at how the new technical regulations, which have been hailed as the biggest shakeup since modern Formula One began in 1950, impacted the sport.
