    In the May 2025 issue of Autocar India, we have the complete lowdown on Leapmotor’s India plans. Dialling up things to 10, we drive a Lamborghini Revuelto flat-out on the yet-to-be-opened Navi Mumbai International Airport and bring you the first look of the new Ferrari 296 Speciale. There are reviews of the Skoda Kodiaq, Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line and Kia EV9, and a comparison between the Kawasaki KLX230 and the KTM 390 Enduro R.

    Leapmotor to launch cars in India

    Stellantis looks to establish itself in India’s EV space by launching its Leapmotor brand this year. It will bring in the C10 SUV and T03 hatchback.

    Lamborghini Revuelto at Navi Mumbai International Airport

    Before the first commercial flight takes off from the new Navi Mumbai International Airport, we give the runway a shakedown – in a Lamborghini Revuelto, no less!

    Ferrari 296 Speciale first look

    The 880hp 296 Speciale Coupe and Aperta are lighter, faster and more driver-focused, living up to a rich tradition of Ferrari special editions. We have all the details.

    Skoda Kodiaq review

    Skoda’s flagship 7-seat SUV is bigger and has more power and features, but it is also pricier. Can it take on the entry-level luxury SUVs?

    Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line review

    The new-gen Tiguan comes in R-Line guise, which is the sporty variant in VW speak. We find out if that justifies the big price jump.

    Kia EV9

    Kia’s flagship electric model, the EV9, is its biggest, most technologically advanced and most luxurious model yet. It’s a compelling package if you can look past that badge and the big asking price.

    Kawasaki KLX230 vs KTM 390 Enduro R

    We pit two hardcore off-roaders against each other. We find out if the Austrian, for just Rs 7,000 more, is better than the Japanese.

    Red Bull Moto Jam

    From drifting duets to death-defying performances on two and four wheels, the world’s finest Red Bull athletes put on a show like no other. Plus, we get into the action, drifting a specially prepped Baleno.
