What Car India - August 2015

I dette nummeret

Your favourite car buyer’s guide turns nine this month, and we’ve packed this anniversary issue with helpful features, thorough comparison tests, superb deals and the latest new cars – just as always, but bigger than ever. And it starts with our annual New Car Special. Be it hatchbacks, sedans, MPVs, SUVs or sportscars – there are more than 60 new cars headed to our showrooms in the next couple of years, and we’ve got all the info you need. We’ve driven Maruti’s current range-topper, the S-Cross, and also Hyundai’s new Creta – which we’ve put up against the Duster and the XUV500 to test its mettle. Then there’s the Figo Aspire – Ford’s new and very attractive compact sedan. But to deliver the ultimate verdict, we brought along two other capable compact sedans – the Hyundai Xcent and the Tata Zest – as a litmus test for the new Ford. In the features section, we tell you how to spot flood-damaged used cars – timely tips after the serious monsoon we have just had. If low running costs are top priority, you’d want to read our features on five very frugal diesel hatchbacks, and our cost-per-km analysis of a CNG-powered car versus a diesel. Other features include a comprehensive guide to accessorising your car, and maintaining your tyres. And there’s a lots more, in the ninth anniversary bumper issue of WhatCar India!
