The January 2024 issue of Autocar India is a celebration of 40 years of Maruti Suzuki, headlined by future Maruti cars launching in India. The Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Rally celebrates 10 years, while the Valley Run turns 11, and we were there to cover both. In the bike section, we have a first ride of the limited edition Ather 450 Apex, plus a thorough, instrumented road test of the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450. This and much more in this month’s issue of the magazine.

8 new Marutis coming to India

Maruti Suzuki has completed 40 years in India and while we have taken a nostalgic trip down memory lane, celebrating its greatest hits (and misses), we’ve also got a detailed look at its radical line-up of upcoming models launching between now and 2026.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS review

Hot on the heels of their BIC lap record, Narain Karthikeyan and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS set the inaugural lap record at the new CoASTT track in Coimbatore. Plus, we give it a thorough track review, and see if it can really be used on the road as well.

Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Rally 2023

India’s biggest classic car rally turned 10 in 2023, and this year’s edition truly captured the spirit of the Three-Pointed Star and the growing community of Mercedes enthusiasts.

Maserati Grecale review

After a long wait, Maserati’s entry-level SUV will finally be coming to India in 2024, and we got a chance to drive it in Japan. Spoiler alert: it feels anything but entry-level.

New Hyundai Santa Fe review

Its blocky looks and luxurious cabin could help make a case for the latest Santa Fe in India, but should Hyundai bring it here, and is it any good? We find out.

Ather 450 Apex

A special edition scooter with more power and future technology that essentially pushes the 450’s chassis to the max.

Valley Run 2023 

We have all the details on the 11th edition of the Valley Run, which had India’s fastest accelerating cars and bikes fight it out down the quarter mile.
