Autocar India April 2026

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.

Mercedes-Benz CLA EV review

The snazzy CLA makes an India comeback as a cutting-edge EV that debuts an all-new platform and promises a near-800km range. Is this Merc’s most compelling EV to hit our shores?

Tesla Model Y Road Test

The brand that shook up the car world touched down in India after a long delay, and its first offering is as compelling as it is controversial. We find out how well the Model Y fares on our roads with our detailed road test - which includes its real-world range.

New Lexus ES first look

In its eighth generation now, the new Lexus ES arrives in style and is all-electric. Imported as a CBU from Japan for now, but a CKD hybrid is in the works too.

Miles with Mum feature

Autocar India has undertaken many remarkable drives, but this one may be the most special, as our Editor, Hormazd Sorabjee drives down from Delhi to Mumbai in a Volvo EX30 with his 91-year-old Mum.

Porsche Power Trip feature

Autocar India went on a fact-finding mission to Goa. It involved a Porsche Taycan Turbo and the Porsche Panamera GTS to answer the question: is a petrol car really quicker than an EV on a long road trip?

Ducati Desmo450 MX feature

Ducati’s first foray into the world of motocross drops in the form of the Desmo450MX and Ducati claims it is exactly what a modern MX bike should be.

MotoGP Unfiltered
