evo India - December 2025

この号では

New and old Tata Sierra headline December 2025 issue of evo India. Thirty-four years after it introduced India to the concept of an SUV, we bring old and new Sierra together to trace the legacy.
Icons, in fact, define this issue, with a farewell drive – and poster! – of the Bugatti Mistral, the final outing for the mighty quad-turbo W16, delivering 1578bhp and 453kmph in what is quite literally the last of its kind.
We bring together the Porsche 911 GTS, Cayenne GTS and Panamera GTS to see if GTS is Porsche’s sweet spot between everyday usability and Turbo excess. At NATRAX we close out our Track Attack series by pushing the Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two to a 281kmph top speed and a new lap record. We also deep dive into what keeps F1 weekends safe with Anatomy of an F1 safety car.
The compact SUV segment is a competitive space and we pitch the newest player, the Hyundai Venue against Skoda Kylaq and Mahindra XUV 3XO. First drives include the Mini Cooper S Convertible, and Citroen Aircross X which gets the ‘X’ treatment. On the EV front we test Mahindra’s XEV 9S, the brand’s first all-electric seven-seater SUV.
At evo India, we love road trips and we embark on an 1800km road trip with three Skoda Kodiaqs from Delhi to Hyderabad. We journey into the Rann of Kutch with Audi owners for an unforgettable desert drive. Closing out the issue is Volkswagen’s most complete offering yet in the Tiguan R-Line, and a closer look at VinFast’s customer-first approach by visiting its dealership.
Two wheels get their share of the spotlight too. We test the localised and more affordable Kawasaki KLX 230 which promises to offer the same experience as the imported one but at half the price. We also head to Goa for the Royal Enfield Motoverse and check out some new unveils like the Bullet 650, Flying Flea and the Continental GT 750 prototype. We also preview VinFast’s electric two-wheelers that the Vietnamese brand is set to launch in India next year.
