The return of the Renault Duster is the headlining story of the February 2026 issue of Autocar India. We have an exclusive review of the Ferrari 849 Testarossa, reviews of the Volkswagen Tayron R-Line and Mahindra XUV 7XO, and much more. Then there’s our annual Autocar Awards feature, a review of the Bajaj Chetak C25 and a lowdown on Audi entering Formula One. All this and much more in this month’s issue of Autocar India.

Renault Duster first look

Renault has reintroduced the Duster four years after discontinuing it. The SUV is credited with creating the midsize SUV segment in India, but can it now reignite the segment?

Ferrari 849 Testarossa review

Ferrari has brought back the Testarossa name for its SF90 successor, the 849. We had the opportunity to drive it exclusively and find out if it lives up to that name.

2026 Autocar India awards

The results of our annual Autocar awards are out. You might know who won what by now, but we give you an insight into what went on behind the scenes and why we picked the cars and bikes we did.

Volkswagen Tayron R Line review

It has all we like about the Tiguan, but with more space and features, the added flexibility of a third row, and for less money.

Compact SUV comparison

Are you in the market for a compact SUV? We pit seven models against each other to help you pick the best of the lot.

Mahindra XUV 7XO review

New looks, more tech and suspension upgrades make this an attractive package. However, what’s more compelling is that the starting price remains unchanged.

Bajaj Chetak C25 review

The new C25 might be the entry point to the Chetak family, but it doesn’t compromise on either design or quality.

Audi’s F1 entry

Audi has perfectly timed its entry into the world of Formula 1 with the new regulations coming in this season. They also aim to fight for the title by 2030.
