Vehicles that qualify for the awards have to meet pre-qualification criteria though. For our first ever awards we have considered vehicles launched in the country between December 01, 2021 and November 30, 2022 across all categories. Only all-new vehicles or ones with significant mechanical changes qualify for the awards.
Automobile manufacturers are on their toes all year round to offer the best in terms of engineering, technology and value for money, while also setting benchmarks for the world and we are honoured to be able to recognise their efforts through our annual awards!
[ THE JURY ]
ABHAY VERMA
TURBOCHARGED’s Editor and Publisher has ridden and driven all kinds of automobiles, including a 2012 Renault F1 car as well. His skills behind the wheel or in the saddle need no introduction thus, more so since he has been evaluating automobiles for a decade and half now. He is also known for pushing cars and motorcycles to their limits, often, also trying to defy the laws of physics, and thus be able to offer opinions that are accurate and definitive.
BENJAMIN GRACIAS
Our Assistant Editor has been testing cars for over a decade and half too, having cut his teeth at Tata Motors at an early age. And with a decade of experience of evaluating cars and motorcycles at some of the country’s leading publications under his belt, Ben, as he is affectionately called, is always up for hitting the road. He’s also considered one of the safest hands with tests cars and motorcycles in the office!
