The December 2025 issue of Autocar India is headlined by our annual breakdown of all new cars launching in India next year. We also have an in-depth look at the new Porsche Cayenne Electric, and have driven the new Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XEV 9S, and more. Merc fans can go gaga over our feature on this year’s Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Rally. We also tried our hand at racing in the Levitas cup. This and more in our action-packed year-end issue.

From new Hyundais to new iterations of Lamborghinis, the new year promises to be exciting a whole bunch of exciting new cars, with EVs and SUVs dominating the list.

Hypercar performance, long-legged range and everyday usability in on package. The new Cayenne Electric could be all the luxury SUV you need.

Second-gen Venue is a significant step up. However, can it finally become the Creta of the sub-4-metre segment?

The new XEV 9S has the XUV700’s hardtop but the XEV 9e’s INGLO platform. Is this the best amalgamation of ICE and EV?

We drive the new 265hp Octavia RS at the Buddh International Circuit. The car sure doesn’t disappoint, but you’d be disappointed to know all units have been spoken for.

Our 12^th edition of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Rally had over 100 Mercs – including iconic ones like the SLS AMG, 300SL, and more – in one place.

Two of India’s bestselling scooters pitted against each other. Read our comparsion to see which one comes out on top.

We were invited to be a part of the Levitas Cup, where we drove stock Maruti Suzuki Ignis’. We may have lost, but it was a win nonetheless.
