Last year, we celebrated our silver jubilee, and just like that, a year has flown by in the blink of an eye. Now, Autocar India completes 26 laps around the sun, and we’re celebrating the journey with a power-packed September 2025 issue. Our cover story dives deep into Mahindra’s new SUV concepts, and we bring you all the inside news on their future plans. We drive the Tata Hitachi mine truck, the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53, and much more. On the two-wheeler side, we review the TVS Ntorq 150 and explore the UK on a Royal Enfield Classic 650. Hope you have as much fun reading our anniversary issue as we did in collating these stories.

New Mahindra SUVs incoming

A new NU_IQ platform that can support ICE, EV and hybrid powertrains and shifts from ladder frames to monocoques, along with four new concepts – S, X, T and SXT. We bring you all the details of Mahindra’s future SUV plans.

Maruti Suzuki Victoris first look

The Victoris is Maruti Suzuki’s second midsize SUV. It gets the Grand Vitara’s powertrains, is packed to the gills with features, and is the first Maruti to get ADAS. Can this two-pronged approach cause a dent in the Hyundai Creta’s sales?

Offroad day feature

Our annual pilgrimage to Learn Offroad Academy to get dirty in the muck has a nostalgic twist this year – we test the off-roading chops of a bunch of old timers.

Hitachi mining truck drive

We drive a 2,000hp, 50,000cc V16 hybrid oilburner that’s three storeys tall. Meet the mammoth Tata Hitachi EH 3500, which makes molehills of mountains.

Ferrari F80 track drive

We pondered if the 3.0-litre, twin-turbo V6-powered F80 could be an apt successor to the hallowed La Ferrari, but a drive around Misano puts all those queries to rest.

MG Cyberster track drive

Convertible, 2-seat sports car that’s an EV? We find out if the MG Cyberster can match the thrills of an ICE convertible.

Mercedes-AMG CLE 53 review

A 2+2 seat AMG with an inline 6 that puts out 449hp and does 0-100kph in 4.2 seconds? Yes please.

Living with a Porsche 911 GTS

Can a Porsche 911 stand true to its everyday usability tag? We test it on Mumbai’s roads, which are infamous for being both pothole-ridden and jam-packed with traffic.

TVS Ntorq 150 review

The Ntorq 150 amplifies nearly every quality of its smaller sibling, and we find out if that’s a bad thing.
