India has been waiting for its return, and the time has come. The all-new Hyundai Santro has a lot to live up to, and our drive tells you if it has what it takes to become king once again. There’s also a mighty face-off between three compact sedans – the Ford Aspire facelift, the Honda Amaze, and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. Also part of this issue are reviews of the Datsun Go and Go+ facelifts, the new Mercedes-AMG G 63, the Bajaj Qute quadricycle and an extensively detailed spare parts story. Here are the highlights:
New Hyundai Santro
The car that started Hyundai India’s innings is back completely revamped. Can it rekindle the magic of the beloved original?
New Mercedes-AMG G 63
The iconic SUV from Affalterbach in a whole new avatar. But does it still retain its phenomenal desirability quotient?
Bajaj Qute
It’s an auto-rickshaw… it’s a car… no, it’s India’s first quadricycle. We drive the controversial Bajaj Qute that is finally set to go on sale.
New BMW X5
The new X5 is bigger, bolder and far better equipped, too. We take it for a spin to see just how much of a step-up it is.

Aspire facelift vs Amaze vs Dzire
The refreshed Ford Aspire comes with a new petrol-manual combo and a killer price tag. But in the company of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire and the Honda Amaze, is it the best in the segment? We find out.
MG HS
A drive in MG’s SUV for international markets gives us a good idea of what its first offering for India could be like.

In its third generation, the Cayenne remains all too familiar. We tell you why for the most part, that’s a good thing.
