The February 2022 issue of Autocar India features exclusive drives of the Porsche Taycan, the Audi RS e-tron GT, and India’s first officially imported McLaren 720S Spider. We also drive the Kia Carens, and there’s a special feature: driving an EV (an e-tron, no less) into the Gir Forest National Park. Autocar India and OLX Autos hosted one-of-its-kind Pre-Owned Car Awards, picking the best buys from the used car market. Here’s what else you can expect from our February issue:

Porsche Taycan

We drive Porsche’s first EV, the Taycan, albeit in rear-wheel drive form. We were intrigued to find out if it can electrify us, and, more importantly, if it’s a true-blue Porsche underneath.

Scoop! Maruti Suzuki-Toyota EVs

Maruti Suzuki-Toyota’s future EV plans could shake up the market. We’ve got all the inside info.

Tata Tiago iCNG

With Tata entering the CNG car market, we find out if it makes the fuel more desirable. Well, no spoilers here. Find out more about it in our issue.

Kia Carens

Kia’s Carens is feature-packed, no doubt. But does it have the comfort to match those looks? Find out in this month’s issue.

Audi RS e-tron GT

The e-tron GT is many things. But the over 600hp RS version of Audi’s EV coupe leaves you at a loss for words. Find out more about it in our exclusive first drive in this month's issue.

Audi in Gir

Another day, another electric Audi. This time around, it is the e-tron, and we take it somewhere special – into the Gir forest. As wild as it may sound, it actually was as silent as the big cat waiting for its prey.

McLaren 720S Spider

We exclusively drove the first, officially imported example of the McLaren 720S Spider in India. Find out just how good it is in our February issue.

CoASTT racetrack

We drive around the CoASTT racetrack – conceptualised by Narain Karthikeyan – and set a lap time. Find out more in this month’s issue.

OLX Autos-Autocar Pre-Owned Car Awards 

We awarded the best hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs in the second-hand market, in association with OLX Autos. Find out more about it in this month’s issue.

Yezdi reborn

Indians have fond memories of Yezdi bikes. Now, after Jawa, Classic Legends has brought back another legendary bikemaker to our country.

Kawasaki Z650RS

With retro designs being the flavour of the season, we ride Kawasaki’s take on the delectable follow-up of the Z900RS. Read more about it in this month’s issue.

Indian Chief Dark Horse

Indian has brought back the Chief Dark Horse, and for the 2022 model, the bike takes on a fresh, sleek and blacked-out look. Check out more on this month’s issue.

Benelli TRK 251

The TRK 251 is Benelli’s entry into the growing sub-Rs 3 lakh segment of adventure motorcycles and it’s got a lot going for it. Find out more by ordering a copy of our magazine.

TVS Jupiter 125 vs Suzuki Access 125

TVS has finally taken the plunge into the 125cc family scooter segment, and we find out how it fares against the segment king – the Suzuki Access 125.

Ducati Monster

Ducati has given its bestseller, the Monster, a huge yet somewhat polarising update. We find out what this Italian motorcycle is like on Indian roads, and whether it needs to be at the top of your wish list.

Dakar report

We bring you a comprehensive report of the 2022 Dakar, which concluded last month, and all the hits and misses in the rally. Read more about it in our February issue.
