Auto Today Magazine - March 2023

In this issue

Highlights of Auto Today - March 2023 issue:This issue is not all about electric vehicles as it would seem to be from the cover though sustainable mobility features heavily in it. The foremost amongst them and our main cover story this month is about the over 6,000km drive that we did with an electric car, the Mercedes-Benz EQS580. We stopped only to charge the car on the circuit connecting the four metros of the country and managed to get back to our starting point on the Golden Quadrilateral exactly 111hr and 47min later - a national record certified by the India Book of Records. In the process, we also entered the Asia Book of Records for the fastest time taken by an electric vehicle to cover 6,000km on public roads. Read all about the drive, the challenges, the charging network and related problems in the latest issue of Auto Today. In addition, we have a comparison test of electric two-wheelers where it is the new guard against the legacy players as well as the first India drive of the World Car of the Year 2022– the Hyundai Ioniq 5. We also have the first ride of perhaps the most powerful of the electric bikes in the country, the Ultraviolette F77 which is a stark contrast to the electric scooters featured in the road test. Our endeavour to make Indian roads safer continues as we join hands with Hyundai to bring you simple steps and suggestions to help you #BeTheBetterGuy and make our roads safer-for-everyone. Plus, there's a detailed account of India's first global motorsport even since Formula 1 - the Formula E Hyderabad Grand Prix. And we've got all the heavyweights from the 2023 Auto Expo in our section focusing solely on commercial vehicles. As always, we've got updates on the Auto Today long-term fleet including the Volkswagen Taigun, Tata Safari, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Hyundai Tucson, Ola S1 Pro, TVS iQube and the latest entrant, the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650. Enjoy the latest issue of Auto Today magazine, remember to #BeTheBetterGuy and belt up no matter where you are seated in the car and always wear a helmet when on a motorcycle.
