autoX - February 2015

In dit nummer

It's been a cold winter this season. But instead of staying home wrapped up in our blankets, we went looking for the harshest conditions we could find.

Does testing a Land Rover Discovery Sport through a blizzard in Iceland, or a BMW X5 and a Mercedes-Benz GLA 45 AMG in Kufri sound extreme enough for you? Well, if not, perhaps you should move to the North Pole! For us, both experiences were exhilarating – and that’s what we bring you in the pages of this issue.

At the other end of the spectrum, we do warm our toes a little in sunny Goa – where we drive a duo of brand new Mercedes CLA 200’s. We also ride the Kawasaki ER-6n & Benelli BN600i to see which is the better naked sports bike. We bring you an exclusive ride of the Honda CB650F, which is expected on our shores shortly, and a look at Maruti’s brand new premium hatchback.

Thanks to our international partners, we also bring you a sneak peek at a wide range of cars and SUV’s heading to the market later this year and in 2016. And, in our motorsport section, we take a close look at CS Santosh’s historic finish of the legendary Dakar Rally.
