We bring you exclusive first drives of the Ford EcoSport facelift and the new VW Passat, and reviews of a bevy of BMWs, an array of Audis and the greatest luxury car in the world, the Rolls-Royce Phantom. We have also compared the Discovery and Q7 seven-seater premium luxury SUVs, Hyundai and Honda’s mid-size sedans and tested two new sports bikes. Here are the highlights:
Ford EcoSport
Our drive of the Ford EcoSport facelift tells us whether the new face, new interiors and the new 1.5-litre petrol engine are good enough for the compact SUV to make a comeback as the segment leader.

The recently launched Audi A5 Sportback is a stylish take on the A4 sedan. We find out just how much the Sportback offers over the A4, and also put the sporty S5 Sportback through its paces.
Volkswagen Passat
The new eighth-gen Passat has finally come to India to rival the likes of the Skoda Superb and Toyota Camry. In an exclusive first drive, we discover if the wait for VW’s new flagship sedan in India was worth it.

Indulging in a bit of nostalgia, we bring you a rare drive of two classic Porsche 911s and tell you what goes into preserving these masterpieces of engineering.
