The January 2025 issue is headlined by our lowdown on all cars being showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo. Apart from this, there’s a first drive of the Honda Amaze, a drive of the Rolls-Royce Spectre and a tribute to Osamu Suzuki. This and much more in our first issue of the year.

Bharat Mobility Expo preview

From Maruti Suzuki e Vitara and Hyundai Creta Electric to the electric G-Class, we bring you details of all the cars being showcased at the second edition of the Bharat Mobility Global Expo.

Autocar Awards 2025

Our annual Autocar Awards are back. We’ve been picking the best Car and Bike of the year for over 20 years now, with our experienced jurors carefully scrutinising everything. Grab the January issue to see who won what.

Osamu Suzuki (1930-2024)

We pay tribute to Osamu Suzuki, the man responsible for creating Maruti Suzuki and laying the groundwork for it to become India’s No. 1 carmaker. He was a tough taskmaster who proved that a small company can achieve big things.

Honda Amaze review

The third-gen compact sedan gets segment-first features like ADAS, but is that enough to sway buyers away from the segment leader, the Maruti Dzire?

Rolls-Royce Spectre review

Smooth, silent and effortless are words synonymous with EVs and Rolls-Royces. The Brit carmaker is late to join the EV bandwagon, but have they got it right with the Spectre by taking their time?

BMW M5 track drive

It’s fat. It’s slow. It's a plug-in hybrid. This was the public outcry when the new M5 came out, despite it retaining its stonking V8 engine. We find out if those complaints are unfounded by driving the car at its limits at the Buddh International Circuit.

Tata Curvv vs Citroen Basalt 

Coupe-SUVs are a stylish take on the midsize SUV segment. Between the Tata Curvv and Citroen Basalt, we find out which is worth taking out your chequebook for.

Triumph Daytona 660

Amid criticism that it doesn’t deserve the Daytona name, we examine if the new Daytona 660 is a clever reimagination or sacrilege.
