In our cover story for June 2022 issue of Autocar India, we look into MG’s plans for an affordable city EV in India. We have the first drives of the new Toyota Glanza and the all-new range extender from Tata’s stable – the Nexon EV Max. We also take a closer look at BMW’s third EV for India, the i4; plus, we have a feature on buying the right tyre. The issue also covers our incredible road trip across Israel in two Mercs.

MG EV for the city

MG Motors is mulling a two-door EV for India that will be priced around Rs 10 lakh. Expected to be revealed at the Auto Expo 2023, MG hopes this will be adopted by millennials as a city runabout.

Kia EV6

We drove the Kia’s new electric crossover, the EV6, at the Buddh International Circuit and came back impressed.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Following in the footsteps of the S-Class is not easy, but the new C-Class is ambitious. We find out if it can improve upon the standards set by its predecessors.

Across Israel in two Mercs

Highlights from our seven-day road trip across Israel in two Mercs – the GLA SUV and C-Class sedan.

Tata Nexon EV Max vs MG ZS EV

We pit Tata’s latest Nexon EV Max against the 2022 MG ZS EV – find out which one electric SUV came out on top.

BMW i4

BMW’s third electric vehicle in the country – the i4 – is here. We find out what makes this sedan desirable, other than its WLTP-claimed range of 590km.

Inside the Ola Futurefactory

We visit Ola’s ambitious mega factory in Tamil Nadu to find out how futuristic it actually is.

Suzuki V-Strom SX

We have ridden the Suzuki V-Strom SX, which gets more ground clearance, comfort and off-road capability, and is based on the Gixxer's platform.

Ducati Hypermotard 950

The Ducati Hypermotard 950 is a confusing bit of kit. It looks like a dirt bike, but everything else reeks of sportiness. We find out what it is all about.

Formula E Gen 3 race car

With the whole world going electric, it is natural that motorsports won't be left far behind. We analyse the gains the latest Formula E cars have made over the previous generations.
