Autocar India by Magzter 7.7.5

The realm of automobiles is vividly brought to life in Autocar India, making it an essential read for automotive enthusiasts. The magazine excels through its extensive and authoritative road tests, which uphold the legacy of its parent publication, distinguishing itself as a leader in the industry.

Since its inception in September 1999, Autocar India has evolved from merely a car magazine to a comprehensive automotive expert brand. As India's best-selling car magazine, its readership is significantly higher than that of its closest competitor. However, it is not just readership numbers that contribute to Autocar India's reputation; its journalistic integrity, characterized by timely news and exclusive stories, further solidifies its standing.

In July 2014, the magazine featured an exclusive drive of the impressive Audi A3 on Indian roads, along with comprehensive reviews of the facelifts given to the Ford Fiesta and Nissan Sunny showcased at the Auto Expo earlier that year. The ML 63 AMG was juxtaposed against the original sports SUV, the Porsche Cayenne, in a thorough comparison. Additionally, readers were introduced to the anticipated diesel version of the S-Class.

April 2014 brought insights into Toyota's striking new Corolla Altis, complemented by an exclusive driving experience to assess whether it lives up to expectations. Meanwhile, Nissan re-launched Datsun as a budget-friendly brand with its first offering being the Go.

In February 2014, Autocar India provided an in-depth preview of the Auto Expo, highlighting new cars, facelifts, and innovative concepts. The introduction of a diesel engine for Honda's City was also analyzed, examining its competitiveness against established rivals like the Skoda Rapid and Volkswagen Vento.

With January 2014 seeing significant buzz around Honda's City—particularly with the new diesel variant—the magazine offered a comprehensive road test and comparison against competitors like the Volkswagen Vento TSI.

In December 2013, readers were treated to revelations about future Maruti models and insights regarding hot petrol offerings making a return. This included first look features on new models like the Jazz and Mobilio.

As Diwali approached in November 2013, Autocar India advised caution for potential car buyers by presenting an array of imminent releases set to debut in the following year, including an impressive test drive of the new Skoda Octavia.

October 2013 marked the return of the Jeep brand to India. The magazine undertook off-road trials of both the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler to evaluate their capabilities against their price tags. Alongside this, a road test of Hyundai's Grand i10 assessed its viability against competitors such as the Maruti Swift.

Finally, in September 2013, readers were invited to celebrate the magazine's 14th anniversary, highlighted by exclusive first impressions from test drives of both the new Hyundai Santa Fe and all-new Skoda Octavia—both setting new benchmarks in their respective categories.
