The Volkswagen Golf GTI headlines the April 2025 issue of evo India: The legendary hot hatchback is finally here! The Mk 8.5 Volkswagen Golf GTI has finally landed on Indian shores, and we’re bringing you an in-depth review of this legendary hot hatchback—even before its official India launch! As a bonus, we also present a Golf GTI Clubsport vs Golf R comparison story. We have first-drive reviews of the India-bound 2025 Audi Q5—a completely new car inside and out; the BMW X3 facelift, which features revised styling and has grown in size; the Audi RS Q8 Performance, the fastest SUV around the Nürburgring Nordschleife; and the Nissan GT-R NISMO—the swansong of the legendary supercar killer from Japan. We’ve also driven the Lotus Emira sports car on our favourite road near Pune. In this issue, you’ll find the full story of our Kashmir to Kanyakumari record run with the Tata Curvv.ev. Two of the best six-cylinder sports cars go head-to-head in the Porsche 911 Carrera vs BMW M4 Competition story. We also delve into everything that unfolded during our Indian Navy x Hyundai India nautical drive, which deployed 15 Creta SUVs along the entire length of the East Coast. Plus, we have two special road trips in two Mercedes-Benz SUVs: we drive the GLC to three different parts of India—covering air, land, and sea—and take the GLS on a road trip to Spiti Valley to spot the elusive snow leopard. In the Thrill of Riding section, we’ve got reviews of the new Hero Xpulse 210, Xtreme 250R, Royal Enfield Classic 650, Honda Activa e:, QC 1, and the Hero Xoom 125 scooter. All this and a whole lot more!
