It’s the end of the year already? 2023 sure whizzed past in an instant! This month, Kartik heads north to check out the all-new Himalayan, right in its home, followed by a marvellous take on a custom scrambler, and taming the latest Triumph twins. Keshav finds out the meaning of ‘best of threes’, as he rides the India-bound Yamaha R3 and MT-03 in Thailand. Also in this issue is a reborn icon meeting its predecessor, along with the Oben Rorr, the TVS X, and the Orxa Mantis.
On the four-wheels side of things, Kurt gets his hands on the Mercedes-Benz EQS, the Kia Carens 1.5 TGDi, the updated Audi A4, and more. We also headed out on adventures in the Maruti Suzuki Jimny, the Volkswagen Tiguan, and the Hyundai Exter!

Nostalgia is one of the strongest emotions we can feel, and automotive nostalgia hits the hardest as always. This can be seen in the way we strain our necks trying to catch a glimpse of a classic car or bike as soon as we hear it rolling down the street.
 
In this issue, we have lined up a bunch of nostalgia-inducing stories for you to reminisce about the good ol’ days. Kartik heads out to meet a pristinely maintained 1957 G2 Bullet, on our long-term Bullet 350.
 
Pablo drives a Maserati Gran Turismo Trofeo 75th anniversary edition and ticks it off the bucket list. There’s also a snazzy story involving a film camera, a Honda City VTEC, and a Hero Honda Karizma.
 
Apart from that, we rode a Honda FMX 650, and reflected on some noteworthy movie appearances (on wheels, of course). We also have our regulars, the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Mercedes-AMG C63, Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono & BSA Gold Star 650, among others.

In the midst of a million others just like us, we take pride in how we present ourselves to be unique. The same applies to our motorcycles and cars, which all bear some form of customisation or other to stand out from the crowd.

In this issue, we celebrate all the wonderful, and sometimes outright mental custom builds from around the country. Keshav saves a dance for Basanti, a modded KTM 390 Duke by Ricochet Customs, and then heads to build a Drift car with BadBoiDrifts x Garage 82.

We also see Tirth interact with a custom Honda Jazz, while also saying hello to a modded RE Himalayan 411 in Ahmedabad. Manaal, in the meanwhile slinks away with a custom Yamaha RX scrambler from YC Design.

Apart from that, we also have our regulars, the Kia Carnival facelift, the BYD eMax 7, and the Mercedes-Benz E-class W214, among others. On two wheels, there’s the Royal Enfield Bear 650 and the Classic 650, the Bajaj Pulsar N125, the Kawasaki KLX 230, and much more.

What do you get when you mix up a whole lot of adventure with a proportionate amount of mud, slush and off-road shenanigans? Madventure, of course! From a clean slate to the muckiest issue there is! Our Madventure special issue is clogged with the kind of fun you can only get off-road.

Whether it’s our traditional Slush Fests for both two wheels and four, or having homegrown adventure machines fling mud at each other with the Mahindra Thar Roxx and RE Himalayan, or even taking a Kawasaki KLX 230R and a Hero Xpulse Pro for our favourite annual off-roading event, this issue has it all.

Not enough adventure for you? Then an account of driving 1.0-litre city-biased Renaults to the highest road in the world should do the trick. And all this without even getting to the regular features!

In our regular content, we drive the MG Windsor, the Tata Curvv, and the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, while on the two-wheeled end, we rode the Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono, The BSA Goldstar, and the TVS Apache RR310 among others!

This green planet is the only one with machines we love to drive and ride, so putting a little thought into being eco-conscious goes a long way! The Green Light captures stories that look at alternative energy in a new light, along with all the fun you can squeeze out of these vehicles, of course.

In this issue, we see Manaal mediate a face-off between petrol-powered commuters and the first CNG-powered motorcycle, the Bajaj Freedom. We also get to hear from Marcus Engel about his experiences while travelling across the globe on an electric motorcycle and believe us, it is something else. 

In this issue, Kurt undertakes a long-distance trip from Pune to Goa in an EV, the Mercedes-Benz EQA to be specific. Keshav, in the meanwhile, attempts to size up the River Indie EV with the Tata Nexon EV in attendance.

Apart from that, we also have our regulars, the Mahindra Thar Roxx, the Citroen Basalt, the Tata Curvv.ev, and the Mercedes-AMG GLC 43 4Matic. On two wheels, there’s the Yezdi Adventure, the TVS Jupiter 110, and a trip to World Ducati Week 2024, among others.

What is Freedom?

For those who love anything with wheels attached to engines, it’s that moment when you’re behind the wheel (or the handlebar), you floor the accelerator, and suddenly a weight lifts off your shoulders, your responsibilities become a distant sight in the rear-view mirror as you keep barreling down the road, while the machine sings its exquisite melody.  

Of course, this is just one example, and there are various definitions of freedom. For example, Samir Kakkad — a differently-abled person who pushed past every physical and mental boundary to drive from Ahmedabad to London; that’s liberation. Yogi Chhabria, the man who restores two-wheelers and turns them into works of art; that’s freedom of expression. 

We’ve celebrated freedom in our own unique ways, too; Pablo took off to Italy and blazed through the countryside in the Lamborghini Revuelto, and later also checked out numerous Skoda exotics in the Czech Republic. Kartik got to experience Royal Enfield’s next Sherpa-engined step in Spain with the Guerrilla 450, while Manaal and Keshav decided to embrace the #wanderlust feeling by heading off on an adventure on their own, also on Royal Enfields. Heading to a tank museum in Ahmednagar in the Jeep Wrangler was Kurt’s idea of celebrating freedom, but that didn’t stop him from ‘breaking free’ with the Maruti Suzuki Jimny either. 


In our regulars, we’ve checked out the new long-wheelbase BMW 5 Series, the Nissan X-Trail, the smallest EV from Mercedes-Benz yet, and the Kia Sonet X Line. On the other hand, we also got to experience both sides of sustainable mobility on two-wheels, quite literally; from natural gas to battery-electric. 

Overall, the definition of freedom basically is whatever you make of it. So go ahead and break free, even if it means the end of something, because it’s leading to the start of something new. Here’s to the open road and the endless opportunities it brings!

This month, we’re celebrating art; we are going to take you through the visual aspect of automobiles. From seeing and understanding the culture of truck art in our country, catching up with a Fiat 1100 immaculately restored by a South African baker, to even a series of postcards coming from two-wheelers that currently rule the roads of India. To kick things up several notches, we blazed around the racetrack in the Tata Altroz Racer, and also caught up with the Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance. In the quest to find out which one ultimately speaks to your heart, we also went dancing with two naked beauties from Italy and Japan. 

Let’s not forget our regulars either; we checked out the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor, the Mahindra Scorpio N, the BMW R 1300 GS, BGauss RUV 350, and the latest tyres from Vredestein. While Volkswagen Experiences took us to Ladakh, we also found a slice of Tibet in Karnataka, with the Urban Cruiser Hyryder. Last but not the least, our shutterbug finally got a chance to get into leathers for some actual race action!

All this and a lot more in our ‘Art of The Visual’ issue! And let’s not forget to focus on our vision. 

There’s never going to be a shortage of conflicts when it comes to the automotive world. Someone will be pitting a litre-class monster against a 600cc supersport, ICE vs EV, a classic car against its modern rendition, a Comet against an auto rickshaw… oh wait, that’s us!

This month is all about settling conflicts of all kinds; whether the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R can beat  the BMW S 1000 RR at its own game or not, in a final attempt, or how different two mopeds can be despite sharing the Luna nametag, or how the ES300h matches up to the Lexus LS 400, or even how the Comet manages to have an upper hand against the countless auto-rickshaws that rule the roads of Mumbai. 

Then we’ve got our regulars too; with the new Maruti Suzuki Swift, we are contemplating whether familiarity breeds contempt or not, and along with that, we’ve also got our hands on the Audi RS e-tron GT, the BMW X3, the BMW M340i, the biggest-ever Pulsar yet, the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE, and the electric scooter that seems to pack ‘rizz’, if you know what we mean. 

Before we forget, we also joined forces with other publications and embarked on the AJAI Bharat Drive. AJAI, short for Automotive Journalists Association of India, is an initiative that works towards creating safer driving conditions in the country, and also helps groom the next generation of motoring scribes. 

With the ongoing heatwave, do remember to stay hydrated, and no sunbathing! Later.

The heat has officially arrived, and it's brought its A game - so we decided to fight fire with fire. This issue is dedicated to speed and power, to all the fast things that move us and to pushing things to the edge. Needless to say, we’ve done things MW-style, which is to say very differently. For example, what better way to review a Lamborghini Huracan EVO Spyder than to have a father-daughter duo take it for a spin - especially if the daughter is named Miura?

That’s certainly not all though; Manaal tries to make sense of complex mathematical dilemmas with the BMW S 1000 RR and the Mercedes-AMG A 45 S, while also befriending a devil in the form of the Ducati Diavel V4. Kartik was found with an Italian and a Japanese, discovering that it’s about how you’re going fast, and not how fast you’re going. Meanwhile, Kurt shows you the versatility of a BMW XM. Yes, versatility from an M car! 

We also checked out the 2024 Force Gurkha, the Jeep Wrangler facelift, Mahindra 3XO, Volvo XC40 Recharge RWD, BYD Seal, and the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Boosterjet. On two wheels, we’ve got the Honda XL750 Transalp for you, along with the Pulsar N250, and a battle between India’s sportiest econo-misers, to round things off (we didn’t stop having fun even at the economy end of things, as you can see). That’s what this issue is about, so happy reading!

Travel — it’s a wonderful thing, isn’t it? It is through travelling that one learns of new cultures, new lifestyles, and experiences various new things in life. Nothing else will recharge your mental batteries like seeing the sunrise in the mountains, or reminiscing about good times while riding along the coastline, seeing the sun go down. These are a few of the things we did this month!

This time, Manaal hits the dunes of Rajasthan with the Desert X and the Mahindra Thar, in order to find the relation between the desert and the two machines named after it, while Kartik discovers a thing or two about evolution heading down to Goa, via NH66 on the Bullet 350 and the Jawa 350. Keshav tried to re-learn Indian-American history on his adventure to Calicut with the Indian Chief Bobber Dark Horse, and later also challenged range anxiety by going camping on the ‘SUV of Scooters.’ Good idea, right? Speaking of good ideas, Aaradhya thought it would be a great one to take off to Auli in an MG Hector and try to learn skiing. 

That’s not all; we’ve also pitted the newest Husky against its orange-blooded Austrian cousin, while also comparing the Shotgun 650 with a Ninja in disguise, and taking a trip to Hero’s Neemrana plant in Rajasthan. Among the regulars, we’ve sampled the Hyundai Creta N Line, Force Urbania, Audi RS5 Sportback, the BMW XM, Mercedes-Benz GLE 450d and more. 

Come and celebrate the spirit of travelling with us; grab your copy now!  


The automotive world has traditionally been male-dominated, but thankfully this is changing. We’ve had the privilege of being among the few publications who’ve had a number of women in our ranks over the years, and we're proud of this fact. 



This month, we put the spotlight on women in various sectors of the automotive industry. We spent a day with the 14-year old Nithila Das, who is already an ace dirt-biker and looks set for bigger achievements. We also interacted with Ramkripa Ananthan, who was behind the design of the crowd-favourite Mahindra Thar, and is now spearheading the design department at Ola Electric. Melissa Holbrook Pierson, an internationally-renowned writer and motorcycle enthusiast, was kind enough to contribute to this issue. We also had the pleasure of spending some time with Mrinalini Deshprabhu, a vintage and classic car enthusiast, who owns several beautiful cars. Lastly, Vaishali Dinakaran needs no introduction to regular readers of this magazine, and in this issue she reflects on her journey as an automotive journalist.

We also drove the BMW X5, the Mahindra XUV700 facelift, some newly-launched Mercs, the Tata Tigor iCNG AMT and the Range Rover Velar. On the two-wheeler front, we checked out the Kawasaki Eliminator and pitted the Triumph Scrambler 400 X and RE Himalayan against each other, while also heading out to the Royal Enfield Track School. Pick up a copy today - we guarantee you'll enjoy it!

Carrying forward our celebrations from last month, we have now stepped into February, and we aren’t stopping anytime soon! As you’ll see, we have two covers this time around; read Pablo’s column to find out why. 

This time, we have dived into two crucial subjects; technology and design. We took it upon ourselves to help our readers understand how tech and design come together in real life. It starts with Tirth catching up with a student racing team and learning how a Formula racing car is built. 
We then headed to the MIT School of Design, to discover the future of automotive design. We also spent some time with Narayan Subramaniam from Ultraviolette Automotive, learning the key role tech and design play in an automotive start-up. Kurt discovered the science behind how EV batteries ‘quench’ their thirst, so to say. Up north, Anubhav tried to put two and two together, with the MG Comet and TVS iQube.  

In other news, Pablo crossed international waters to check out the new Hyundai Santa Fe, while also shooting both barrels with the Shotgun 650. Kartik tried figuring out if black really is the new orange with the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, while Manaal got back in action with the Xtreme 125R. Keshav headed to the dry state (you know which one) to see if the new Jawa 350 finally gets it right or not. We’ve also sampled the Tata Punch EV, the Hyundai Creta and Kia Sonet facelifts, the Citroen C3 Aircross Automatic, Aprilia RS 457 and more.
Grab a copy of the February issue now, and stay tuned for another special next month!

IT'S OUR 25TH BIRTHDAY!

Do you remember what it felt like to turn 25? Thanks to you, our readers and subscribers, we're getting to experience the same feeling. Not only are we celebrating our 25th anniversary this year, but we're also pulling out all the stops, with an entire year of special issues coming your way.

This month, we have 25 special stories for you! Each story celebrates our love for everything on wheels, the true essence of Motoring, and what it means to be an enthusiast. The crew headed out to the sleepy heritage town of Udvada, to brainstorm ideas for this very issue. Pablo went and checked out the very first Morris Mini to come to India, especially after finding out it was in Goa. Heading north, Anubhav thought that driving the AMG SL55 with its top down would be a perfect way to make the Delhi crowds envious. And how many people do you know who can boast of driving up to Ladakh in a VW Camper?

Venturing into international waters, we explored the 1000 Miglia Xperience drive in the UAE, followed by a ride in the vast Russian northlands. Back at base, Kartik discovered 500 shades of grey while bringing together three iconic motorcycles, seeking revenge against a certain four-stroker. Manaal put together the three generations of the KTM 390 Duke, while Keshav, fresh from learning the art of wheelie-ing, decided to kick things up a notch; we also checked out a beloved two-stroker turned into a cafe racer. There were British and Japanese marvels to see in Bengaluru, and then we foolishly challenged CS Santosh to a duel. Oh, and we reminisced with an ex-Motoring man who's busy testing tractors these days.

This is just the beginning, and we owe it all to you – our readers, founding members, friends, Motoring crew and ex-crew. Your unwavering support has made these 25 years possible. Sit back, enjoy the ride, and let's toast to what lies ahead!

Mod jobs have a special place in all our hearts, and hence for the month of November, we have an intriguing lineup of custom builds to drool over!
In this issue, Kartik gets to drive a Premier Padmini that has undergone a change of heart, quite literally, along with a Lamby 125 4S that is really a wolf in sheepskin.
In the meanwhile, Pablo sets the streets on fire in a souped-up Abarth Punto pushing 240 bhp, followed by a comparatively toned-down drive in the Lexus RX 350H.
Kurt drives the new Harrier and Safari, Tata’s revamped flagship SUVs, while Tirth experiences the highs and lows of the Great 4x4 Expedition with Toyota.
On two wheels, Keshav takes a laidback cruise around town on the stunning Barood by BCW, joining Manaal not long after to let it rip with the big-bore Ricochet 865s.
Also featured in this issue are the Hyundai Tuscon, Mahindra Scorpio-N, KTM 250 Duke, Triumph Scrambler 400 X, Jawa 42 Bobber, Moto GP experience, Triumph Speed 400 vs KTM 390 Duke and Hero Karizma XMR vs Bajaj Pulsar N250.

It is finally October, there’s mud and muck aplenty and the gloves are off! When it comes to frolicking in the slush, we take it very seriously (well, as seriously as we possibly can that is). 
In this issue, Tirth pits the Maruti Suzuki Jimny and the Mahindra Thar against each other in a battle for the ages. Kurt takes a rather paw-some approach at off-roading with the Toyota Hilux and a few furry friends.
Manaal goes back to basics with the KTM 390 Adventure-X and the BMW G 310 GS, followed soon after by an interesting pairing of the Hero Xpulse 200 4V Pro and the Maruti Suzuki Jimny.
With the goal of getting dirty in as clean a way as possible, Keshav takes the Emotorad Desert Eagle e-MTB and charges on through the slush and muck. 
We also have reviews of the new Jeep Compass, Mercedes A200, Hyundai Staria, Tata Nexon and the Tata Nexon EV. 
On the two-wheeler end, we get to check out the new KTM Duke 390, Royal Enfield Bullet 350, River Indie and TVS Apache RTR 310. Also, don't miss our race report of the first MotoGP in India.

Talk about driving around, top-down on a rainy day, and that is exactly what it means to not have a care in the world, carpe diem, YOLO and whatnot! In this issue, Kartik drives the new Mercedes-AMG SL 55 Roadster, living the soft-top V8 life. 
Pablo goes AWOL in Africa, heeding the call of the cape with the Mahindra XUV 700, and this comes not long after driving the Mercedes-Benz GLC in Hampi. Quite picturesque destinations to make us green with envy.
Tirth gets a taste of what the Volvo C40 Recharge is capable of, the first Born-EV from the Swedish manufacturer. Kurt in the meanwhile, gets to mess around in the Range Rover SV as well as the Lexus LX 500d, back to back.
As for two-wheelers, Kartik helps us pick and choose between the Triumph Speed 400, the RE Classic 350 and the KTM 390 Duke. As a referee, Manaal shuffles between the Honda Shine 100 and the Hero Splendor Plus Xtec, a battle of the lightweights.
After taking the BMW R18 Transcontinental on a ride around town and showing it a decent time, Keshav also mediates a scuffle between the Hero Xtreme 160R and the Pulsar N160.
Also featured in this issue are the Hyundai Verna, the Kia Seltos, the Ferrari 296 GTS, the Ola S1 Air, the Hero Karizma XMR and the Ather 450 S. Quickly, grab the latest issue of Motoring World to read about it all!

It is a battle of benchmarks, and this one is a triumphant contender in all its glory as far as we have been made aware of! In this issue, Kartik rides the new Triumph Speed 400 in and around the Bajaj facility in Chakan, testing out its capabilities. Pablo, in the meanwhile, takes the Hyundai Exter for a spin and is pleasantly surprised by it, followed by a drive in the Honda Elevate and subsequently an electric tryst with the Audi Q8 e-tron. Kurt mixes things up with the Citroen C3 Aircross in Chennai, and not too long after, does a number with the Mercedes-AMG A45S, an ‘ultimate hot hatch’ he says. Keshav heads for the hills with a certain green affair in mind, courtesy of the Kawasaki Off-road Carnival, also managing to rack up some track time testing TVS Eurogrip tyres at Kari and heeding the call of the blue at MMRT. Also featured in this issue are the Hyundai Tucson, Kia Seltos Facelift, Porsche Cayenne, Maruti Suzuki Invicto and Lexus LC 500h. And lest we forget, the Motoring World Awards 2023 have been declared! Quickly, explore the latest issue of Motoring World to know more!

X marks the spot, and with the lineup that we have for you this month, we’re sure to have you digging for more! In this issue, Kartik rides the Harley-Davidson X440 S around Hero’s CIT track, testing the outcome of the much-awaited collaboration. Anubhav marks another X as he reviews the new BMW X1, followed by a day out with the Mercedes-Benz C300D and BMW M340i. Saurabh, in the meanwhile, fulfils a childhood dream and learns the ABCs of drifting with the crew of BadBoi Drifts, burning rubber and most of all, having a blast. Keshav takes the new KTM 390 Adventure-SW and measures strides with its proper dirt-eating cousin, the SX 150, not long after an off-roading masterclass at the Reise TrailR Academy. Kartik traces the branches on the RR family tree with the BMW G 310 RR and S 1000 RR, following that up with the thrill of the electric Ultraviolette F77 Recon, stopping only to find a plug point. Also featured in this issue are the RE Continental GT 650, RE Interceptor 650, Austin Devon Sport, Hyundai Venue, Kia EV6 and MG Comet. So what are you waiting for, dive into the latest issue of Motoring World now!

Power is a volatile thing and, not to mention, quite fun to play around with, especially when the power in question is bursting forth from firing cylinders, whirring motors and spinning wheels! In this issue, Pablo drives the new 5-door Maruti Suzuki Jimny and contemplates the ensuing head-vs-heart decisions. We also review the Tata Altroz iCNG and take a stroll down the lanes of history with a rather fetching 1950 Ford F1. Rivan steps into luxury as he reviews the Range Rover Sport, following which he takes the Range Rover D350 LWB Autobiography on a fitting road trip. Kartik spends some time with one foot in the past and another in the future, experiencing the MG Comet and MG Midget side-by-side. Anubhav gets his sport on as he drives the new manual BMW M2 and rides the Harley-Davidson Nightster in Delhi. As for everything on two wheels, Keshav reviews the new KTM 390 Adventure-X and 390 Adventure-SW, and also checks out the QJ Motor SRV300. Also featured in this issue are the Bajaj Pulsar N250 vs TVS Ronin, the Kawasaki W175 vs Rajdoot 175, the Skoda NATRAX feature and much more. Come join us as we take you through this Power Play special issue!

Speed is a meditative state for us, and with the summer bearing down on us hard, it may be the only way to keep cool! Anubhav takes the new MG Comet for a spin to evaluate this bold bet by MG, and also crashes the SUV party with the Aston Martin DBX 707. Pablo takes a stroll off the beaten path with the Maruti Suzuki Fronx to figure out what exactly is up with this funky new car. As for all things on two wheels, Kartik chooses to pedal around town with the Hero Lectro F3i, contemplating whether a battery and a motor enhance a bicycle. This comes not long after experiencing the magic of the Ducati SuperSport 950 S, and everything that entails the Italian V-twin. We get to check out the SRK 400 and the SRC 500 from QJ Motor, and ponder upon the possibility of ‘European design and Japanese quality at Chinese cost’. In this Summer of Speed special issue, we also see Keshav hot in the pursuit of speed, as he takes part in the TVS Young Media Racer Program. We further test the limits of speed and traction as we put in our laps on the flat track at the Autologue Ranch in Pune. Also featured in this issue are the Nissan Magnite, Hyundai i20 N-Line, Ampere Primus, Honda Shine and KTM RC390 Cup Media Race. Catch the breeze with us as we zoom past in our Summer of Speed special issue!


Cars are a delight by themselves and so are bikes, but put them together and witness the fun that ensues! Pablo drives the new Toyota Hilux and puts its indestructible reputation to the test, and also saves a dance for the bulls, in the Lamborghini Urus Performante. Janak, in the meanwhile, takes flight on the Ducati Streetfighter V2 one wheelie at a time, as Keshav scoots around on the E-Motorad Lil-E. Rivan examines the sporty side of the Audi Q3 Sportback and also takes a spin around the block in the new Honda City. In this Car vs Bike special issue, Kartik puts the Suzuki Katana up against the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in a quest to see which cuts deeper. And looking at how it’s the commute, not the destination, that matters, the Maruti Alto and Hero Splendor Plus go head to head. A nostalgia-filled trip down memory lane with the Premier Padmini and Yezdi D250 Classic follows an unassuming pairing of the Tata Punch and the TVS Ronin. Also featured in this issue are TVS MotoSoul, Volkswagen Tiguan, Nissan Magnite, Bajaj NS 200 and NS 160 and Keeway V302 C vs RE Hunter 350. So what are you waiting for, come and partake in the thrill of the Car vs Bike special issue!

As we march onward in the sweltering heat, we will show you how to stay cool. Pablo drives the new Hyundai Ioniq 5, and aptly declares it the best-looking Hyundai yet. In the meanwhile, Rivan shows us the finer side of topless motoring in the Mercedes-AMG E 53 Cabriolet, and this is the one time no one asks him to cover up. On two wheels, Janak zooms around on the new Hero Xoom 110, conquers the ProDirt Offroad Carnival 2023, and checks out the new Reise TrailR tyres. There is a battle of the adventurers — the Zontes 350T ADV and the BMW G310 GS — and, simultaneously, an age-old rivalry is renewed with the Bajaj Pulsar P150 and the TVS Apache RTR 160 2V. Talking about grand displays of strength, we put the Jeep Grand Cherokee to the test, and we weren’t disappointed. One sure-shot way to keep the temperature low was to chill at the Formula E race weekend in Hyderabad, and Saurabh takes you through the whole experience. Also featured in this issue are the Audi A8 L vs Maserati Quattroporte GT, Yamaha’s FZ-X, the Keeway K300R, and many other interesting stories. So what are you waiting for? Come, chill out with us and see what we got up to in the heat of this issue!

We're just in the second month of the new year and a lot of exciting stuff is already happening! Kartik cruises around on Royal Enfield’s new Super Meteor 650, gauging whether it is the cruiser to save all cruisers, while Janak has an electric affair with the Ultraviolette F77 on the track. On the four-wheel end, Rivan does some long hauling from Delhi to Mumbai in the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. Keeping the streak going, Porsche India invited Motoring to be a part of its attempt to create the longest relay in the country, in a Macan GTS and we more than happily obliged. We also take a look at Kawasaki’s attempt at an affordable motorcycle to find out whether it is cut out to be a mass seller. Meanwhile, we bring you the most notable reveals and launches from manufacturers at the 16th Auto Expo, and along with that, the winners of the ICOTY and IMOTY 2023. Also featured in this issue are the Indian Roadmaster Dark Horse, the BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine and many more fascinating stories. This month, as we bring you our Fun To Drive Special, we can promise you that it sure is fun to read, too!

It's 2023, and we've officially turned 24! We hope you had a fantastic time celebrating the end of 2022, and we can guarantee we had a whole lot of fun putting together stories for our anniversary issue. In keeping with tradition, we commemorated our anniversary with a Lamborghini on our cover, and this time it was the Huracan Tecnica that Pablo drove in the city of Doha. An epic battle of luxury barges was on the cards as Rivan pitched the new Mercedes-Benz EQS 580 against the reputable Mercedes-Benz S-Class. We had Ruman doing a cameo for us as he drove the Mahindra Thar to Goa for an unlikely adventure. Back in Mumbai, Keshav gets a tour of the city while squeezing every ounce of fun out of Hero MotoCorp's Splendor and TVS Radeon. We had Janak compete in the Royal Enfield Continental GT-R650 media race. Meanwhile, Kartik rode the 1955 Triumph Tiger T100 and the Kawasaki W800 to see if the spirit of an old archetype could still be alive in this day and age. Also, do check out Kaizad's best images in his 2022 Wrapped. There are more stories inside, and we hope you like them as much as we did filming them. We wish you a terrific and adventurous 2023!

the Mercedes-Benz EQS, gets the cover feature. From a luxury barge to an average person's

Volkswagen Virtus. Find out who's got bragging rights in Rivan's story. Janak gets behind the
wheel of the Mahindra Scorpio Classic, and figures out that it still has the charm to sell for
another decade. On the two-wheel side of things, Keshav and Janak pick the Royal Enfield
Hunter and TVS Ronin for an epic Gymkhana shootout. Elsewhere, Hero's launched its first
electric scooter, the Vida V1 Pro, and Kartik takes it for a spin at Hero's CIT facility. Speaking of
firsts, it was Janak's first time witnessing a MotoGP race in Thailand. As always, we have a

Meanwhile, in Goa, Pablo took the wheel of the Citroën C3, which Citroën believes is ready for a French Revolution in India. Back in the 'bay, Rivan was living the high Llfe, pitting the luxurious Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 against the fire-breathing Lamborghini Urus. In another battle, Anubhav sought out the BMW 3 Series to determine whether the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is indeed the new benchmark in the segment. For Janak's daily dose of adventure, he had to choose between the Suzuki V-Strom SX and the KTM 250 Adventure. Apart from that, you can read about our first ride stories on the 2023 KTM RC 390 and the Oben Rorr electric bike. We have many more stories for you, as usual. Happy reading!
