To go with that, we’ve got pictures and details of the next-gen Hyundai i20 that will be launched in India later this year. We’ve bring you all the info on Mahindra’s new mStallion range of T-GDI petrol engines, along with some exciting face-offs from our very own drag race day! There's also a first drive of the Toyota Vellfire luxury MPV, and first rides of the much-awaited Bajaj Chetak EV, BS6 TVS Apache RR 310, Ather 450X, BMW F 900 R and 900 XR, a fun comparison involving two of India’s most affordable two-wheelers, and more juicy news from the industry and features you’ll enjoy reading. Here are the highlights:

    New Hyundai Creta
    The second-generation Hyundai Creta has debuted, and it’s counting on extroverted styling, a high-quality cabin and a whole range of engine-gearbox combinations to become the midsize SUV to buy. We take a closer look.

    Tata Sierra EV Concept
    The Tata Sierra EV concept wowed showgoers and was arguably the most-loved show car at Auto Expo 2020. And the big news is that it could make production.

    MG Gloster
    To follow up on the success of the Hector and ZS EV, MG will launch the Gloster SUV in India later this year. It’s big, it’s bold, and it promises to be full of character.

    Skoda Vision IN
    The first model to be based on the Volkswagen Group’s MQB A0 IN platform, the Vision IN previews a brand-new midsize SUV from Skoda due in 2021. Here’s all you should know about it.
