    The May 2023 issue of Autocar India is an EV special, with the headlining story being our Guinness World Record-setting run on the Vida V1 Pro. We also have first drives of the BMW i7MG Comet and the Porsche Taycan Turbo S, and features on the Nano EV and Switch EiV22 double decker bus. We have also compared the Tata Tiago EV with the Citroen eC3, and the Tata Nexon EV Max with the Mahindra XUV400. Then there's a first drive of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx. To round it off, we have a first look of the Citroen C3 Aircross. We've also ridden the second-gen Ducati Scrambler that's headed to India.

    Guinness world record with a Vida V1 Pro

    An endurance run on an EV is no joke. But smashing a Guinness world record while at it is the icing on the cake. Read more in the May issue of Autocar India.

    BMW i7 review

    The i7 is a luxury electric barge from BMW that carries over the 7 Series' strengths with an EV calm.

    Tata Tiago EV vs Citroen eC3 comparison

    These two family hatchbacks are among the most affordable EV four-wheelers on sale currently. But we find out which is the one you should buy.

    Tata Nexon EV Max vs Mahindra XUV400 comparison

    The Nexon EV has been unrivalled in its segment, but the XUV400 aims to spoil the party. We pit the two against each other and see if the Tata has finally met its match.

    MG Comet review

    The MG Comet is a quirky urban EV that serves a very specific purpose. We've driven it and tell you how it is in its home turf: the city streets.

    Nano EV review

    The Nano EV is a case of something that could have been. Called the Neo, this EV could have been Tata's Comet competitor. Check it out in Autocar India’s May issue.

    Switch EiV22 bus review

    The Switch EiV22 double decker is nothing short of a building on wheels. We find out how it is to drive this mammoth, especially with it being electric.

    EV charging guide

    With EV sales increasing and public chargers becoming more prevalent, this guide will help you know all about the different types of chargers, how to safely charge an EV and more.

    Maruti Suzuki Fronx

    Maruti has brought back the Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine with the Fronx, but its distinctive styling is what helps set it apart from the rest of the crowd. Read more in our May 2023 issue.

    Citroen C3 Aircross

    The C3 Aircross is yet another Creta rival that's launching soon in the crowded midsize SUV segment. However, its USP is probably its versatile 2- and 3-row seating option. Our first look covers this and more.

    Ducati Scrambler 2G

    Ducati's bestselling motorcycle in India gets a big update, and despite significant changes, it retains its charm and appeal.
