Our April 2026 issue is headlined by the upcoming Renault Bridger - the smaller sibling of the Duster that will slot in above the Kiger in the sub-four-metre SUV segment. We also reviewed the latest Mercedes-Benz CLA EV and the middle child of the Q8 family - the Audi SQ8. On the two-wheeler side, we have ridden the latest e-scooter duo from Yamaha - the Aerox E and the EC-06. We also have a slew of interesting features and much more in this issue of Autocar India.
Upcoming Renault Bridger
The Bridger concept previews a 2027-bound compact SUV, which will be sold in petrol, hybrid, and all-electric guises. It is expected to feature a new 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine as the base option.
