Auto Today - September 2015

I dette nummeret

An inaugural issue like no other - we’ve packed in 17 SUVs, two road tests, a ride on a race bike, a drive in a race car, our range-finding drive of epic proportions and much, much more.

From news of big ticket SUVs from Jaguar in the form of the E-Pace and F-Pace to VW’s small-SUV the Taigun, we have also driven the buzzworthy Hyundai Creta and rival Suzuki S-Cross, the new-gen Ford Endeavour, updated Thar and XUV500 from Mahindra and Audi’s new Q3. Apart from this, notable mention goes to the other SUVs appearing in this issue - the Hyundai Sante Fe, Volvo XC60, Honda CR-V and monstrous BMW X5.

Six hatchbacks square off in our detailed 500-point road test and we tell you which one is best. If you’re in the market for a small automatic, we have you covered you there too – the Nano XTA with an AMT transmission is tested against the Alto K10 AMT with unexpected results.

Further, we try out the Ford’s impressive compact sedan, the Figo Aspire and Honda’s all-new Jazz. From Buddh International Circuit, we bring you our impressions of the Abarth 595 Competizione and the much-awaited Yamaha R3.

We’ve ridden the new adventure-styled Pulsars, the AS150 and 200, around the ghats of Lavasa. Also in this issue, the frugal Yamaha Saluto and stylish Fascino.

Of course, we have our regulars section which includes an in-depth buying-used guide for the Toyota Corolla Altis and a motorcycle for the first time ever – the KTM Duke 390. To help you stay informed, we have a comprehensive and industry-leading new car and motorcycle price guide which covers all the facts and figures you will ever need.
