Audi’s big India comeback, Tata Sierra EV first drive: Autocar India August 2026

Posted on by admin
Autocar India August 2026

Our August 2026 issue has all the exclusive details of Audi India’s most ambitious product offensive in over a decade, with six all-new locally assembled models planned over the next 18 months. We also get behind the wheel of Jaguar’s camouflaged Type 01 prototype and drive the Range Rover Sport EV at Goodwood. Closer to home, we find out if the Tata Sierra EV lives up to its billing as the best Tata on sale, while the Nissan Tekton is put through a 700km-plus real-world test from Chandigarh to Leh. We also break down India’s new most popular fuel in our CNG special, with five models tested back-to-back. On two wheels, the new Norton Atlas is ridden in Iceland, while a special Ducati takes on some of Maharashtra’s tricky trails. All this while a Skoda Kylaq sets off on an epic 19,351km drive from Pune to Prague.

Audi’s Big Comeback: Cover Story

Audi was once India’s bestselling luxury brand. Today, it is a shadow of that. Now, with six all-new locally assembled models planned by end-2027, the four rings are back on the offensive. We have all the details and speak to Audi India head Balbir Singh Dhillon and Audi AG chairman Gernot Dollner about the upcoming cars. 

Jaguar Type 01: Drive

Jaguar has walked away from 90 years of combustion heritage, cancelled every existing model and started again with a blank sheet of paper. The Type 01 is the result – a five-metre all-electric grand tourer with a 1,000hp three-motor setup, 600km of range and a starting price north of Rs 3 crore. We drive a camouflaged prototype at JLR’s Gaydon test track to find out if the boldest bet in the car industry’s history has legs. 

Range Rover Sport EV: Drive

Under its familiar skin sits an 800V architecture, two Land Rover-developed 326hp motors and a 118.5kWh battery validated over 60,000 hours of testing. The electric Range Rover Sport arrives in India around March 2027 and could set a new luxury benchmark for the brand. We drive a prototype at Goodwood to find out if it lives up to that promise. 

Tata Sierra EV: First Drive

The best Tata in years gets the brand’s smoothest powertrain yet. The Sierra EV comes in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive forms, with the AWD variant making a class-leading 306hp and bringing the first AWD option in this segment. We drive all variants, including a proper off-road test, to see if it lives up to the hype. 

Honda ZR-V: Drive

Honda’s first hybrid SUV in India arrives as a full import from Japan, packing a 184hp strong-hybrid powertrain and a claimed 22.8kpl. We get a brief first taste at the Buddh International Circuit to find out if it delivers on its promise.

Mercedes-AMG E 53 Hybrid 4Matic+: First Drive

The new E 53 pairs a 3.0-litre straight-six with a 28.6kWh battery for 585hp and up to 100km of electric range. It is a PHEV AMG that also does daily commutes without a drop of fuel. But has electrification enhanced the AMG experience, or diluted it? 

CNG Special: Features

CNG now accounts for nearly 20 percent of India’s passenger car market. We explain everything you need to know about the fuel – what it is, how it works and whether an aftermarket conversion makes sense. We also road test five CNG models: the Tata Tiago iCNG, Maruti Wagon R S-CNG, Hyundai Aura CNG, Maruti Brezza Turbo (petrol) and Maruti Victoris S-CNG.

Tata Nexon: Petrol vs Diesel vs Electric vs CNG

The Nexon is one of the few cars in India offered with four distinct powertrain options. We test every variant – turbo-petrol, diesel, CNG and electric – with real-world performance and efficiency figures to find the sweet spot of the range. The result might just surprise you.

Skoda Kylaq: Pune to Prague, Part 1

A made-in-India Skoda Kylaq sets off on a near-20,000km adventure from its birthplace at Skoda’s Chakan plant to Skoda Auto’s headquarters in Prague. Part 1 covers India, Nepal, Tibet and China – including a detour to Mount Everest Base Camp.

Norton Atlas: Ride

TVS’s second Norton – and the brand’s most important – debuts in Iceland. The Atlas is a 585cc parallel-twin adventure tourer with 70hp, a full electronics suite and 19-inch front wheel. We ride 200km of sweeping mountain roads and gravel trails to find out if it can justify the hype and, crucially, a competitive price tag.

Ducati Multistrada V4 Pikes Peak: First Ride

The most focused Multistrada money can buy blurs the line between a practical ADV and an out-and-out sport bike. With Ohlins semi-active suspension, a single-sided swingarm and a race-mode, it promises to be two bikes in one. We find out if the price premium is worth it.

Suzuki E-Access: Road Test

Suzuki’s first electric scooter carries a big name and an even bigger price tag. It gets some things right, but in a segment that rewards value, performance and range, does the Access badge alone justify the Rs 1.92 lakh asking price?

Maruti Brezza Facelift की बंपर डिमांड, रोज 2000 बुकिंग! टर्बो पेट्रोल या अंडरबॉडी CNG, जानिए किस वेरिएंट की सबसे ज्यादा मांग

Posted on by admin

Maruti Brezza Facelift: भारतीय ऑटोमोबाइल बाजार में मारुति सुजुकी की पॉपुलर कॉम्पैक्ट एसयूवी ब्रेजा के नए अवतार को कस्टमर्स का शानदार रिस्पॉन्स मिल रहा है। 24 जुलाई को लॉन्च हुई मारुति सुजुकी ब्रेजा फेसलिफ्ट की बिक्री का आंकड़ा तेजी से बढ़ रहा है। देश की सबसे बड़ी कार निर्माता कंपनी मारुति सुजुकी के मुताबिक लॉन्च के बाद से इस एसयूवी को हर दिन करीब 2000 बुकिंग मिल रही हैं। सबसे दिलचस्प बात यह है कि ग्राहक किसी एक खास वेरिएंट या इंजन के पीछे भागने के बजाय इसके तीनों इंजन विकल्पों को लगभग बराबर तवज्जो दे रहे हैं। कंपनी के सेल्स डेटा से पता चलता है कि मांग तीनों पावरट्रेन में लगभग समान रूप से बंटी हुई है।

कंपनी की मासिक बिक्री रिपोर्ट के दौरान मारुति सुजुकी इंडिया के सीनियर एग्जीक्यूटिव ऑफिसर (मार्केटिंग एंड सेल्स) पार्थो बनर्जी ने ब्रेजा फेसलिफ्ट की सफलता पर खुशी जताई। उन्होंने कहा कि नई ब्रेजा को लेकर ग्राहकों का रिस्पॉन्स अद्भुत रहा है। हमें हर दिन करीब 2000 गाड़ियों की बुकिंग मिल रही है।

टर्बो, सीएनजी या एनए पेट्रोल: किस वेरिएंट की कितनी है हिस्सेदारी?

कंपनी द्वारा साझा किए गए आंकड़ों के अनुसार, तीनों पावरट्रेन ऑप्शंस को ग्राहकों से बैलेंस रिस्पॉन्स मिल रहा है-

टर्बो-पेट्रोल वेरिएंट: कुल बुकिंग में नए टर्बो-पेट्रोल वेरिएंट का योगदान 35% है। बेहतर परफॉर्मेंस और थ्रिलिंग ड्राइविंग अनुभव की तलाश करने वाले कस्टमर इस वेरिएंट को काफी पसंद कर रहे हैं।

एस-सीएनजी वेरिएंट (S-CNG): कुल बुकिंग का 35% हिस्सा सीएनजी वेरिएंट को मिला है। कम रनिंग कॉस्ट और बेहतर माइलेज चाहने वाले ग्राहकों के बीच सीएनजी मॉडल की लोकप्रियता बरकरार है।

1.5-लीटर एनए पेट्रोल: पारंपरिक 1.5-लीटर नैचुरली एस्पिरेटेड पेट्रोल इंजन वेरिएंट भी पीछे नहीं है और कुल बुकिंग में इसका 30% योगदान है।

तीनों इंजनों के बीच यह बैलैंस डिमांड कंपनी के लिए सकारात्मक संकेत है। इससे आने वाले महीनों में कॉम्पैक्ट एसयूवी सेगमेंट में लगातार मजबूत बिक्री बनाए रखने में मदद मिलेगी।

Brezza फेसलिफ्ट की कीमत और क्या है इसमें खास?

मारुति सुजुकी ने Brezza फेसलिफ्ट को भारत में 24 जुलाई को लॉन्च किया था। इसकी शुरुआती इंट्रोडक्टरी कीमत 7.40 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) रखी गई है, जो टॉप-एंड वेरिएंट के लिए 13.70 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) तक जाती है। इस फेसलिफ्ट मॉडल का सबसे बड़ा मैकेनिकल अपडेट नया टर्बो-पेट्रोल इंजन है। इसे मौजूदा 1.5-लीटर नैचुरली एस्पिरेटेड पेट्रोल और फैक्ट्री-फिटेड S-CNG विकल्प के साथ उतारा गया है। तीन अलग-अलग पावरट्रेन मिलने से मारुति सुजुकी अब पहले से कहीं बड़े कस्टमर सेगमेंट को साध रही है

नए फीचर्स, अपडेटेड केबिन और 5-स्टार सेफ्टी

Brezza फेसलिफ्ट में फ्रेश एक्सटीरियर स्टाइलिंग, नया केबिन और कई मॉडर्न फीचर्स जोड़े गए हैं। वेरिएंट के आधार पर इसमें बड़ा टचस्क्रीन इंफोटेनमेंट सिस्टम, कनेक्टेड कार टेक्नोलॉजी, 360-डिग्री कैमरा, वायरलेस स्मार्टफोन कनेक्टिविटी (एंड्रॉइड ऑटो और एप्पल कारप्ले), वेंटिलेटेड फ्रंट सीट्स, इलेक्ट्रिक सनरूफ और प्रीमियम ऑडियो सिस्टम दिया गया है।

सेफ्टी के लिहाज से ब्रेजा फेसलिफ्ट में 6 एयरबैग्स, इलेक्ट्रॉनिक स्टेबिलिटी प्रोग्राम, हिल होल्ड असिस्ट, एबीएस के साथ ईबीडी, टायर प्रेशर मॉनिटरिंग सिस्टम और 360-डिग्री कैमरा जैसे सेफ्टी फीचर्स दिए गए हैं। इस कॉम्पैक्ट एसयूवी ने भारत एनसीएपी क्रैश टेस्ट में 5-स्टार सेफ्टी रेटिंग हासिल की है।

किन गाड़ियों से है सीधा मुकाबला?

भारतीय ऑटोमोबाइल बाजार के सबसे कॉम्पिटेटिव कॉम्पैक्ट एसयूवी सेगमेंट में मारुति ब्रेजा फेसलिफ्ट का मुकाबला Tata Nexon, हुंडई वेन्यू, Kia Sonet, महिंद्रा XUV 3XO और Skoda Kylaq जैसी पॉपुलर गाड़ियों से है।

Skoda Kylaq vs Mahindra XUV 3XO drag race: lights out

Skoda-Kylaq-vs-Mahindra-XUV-3XO

There’s no simpler way to compare one car’s performance to another than with a head-to-head quarter-mile race. In this edition of Autocar India’s quarter-mile racing series, we line up some exciting head-to-head contests, beginning with the compact SUV segment. We’ve brought together what are arguably the two most exciting offerings in this segment – the Skoda Kylaq and the Mahindra XUV 3XO – for a battle down the airstrip.

Both the Skoda Kylaq and the Mahindra XUV 3XO use 3-cylinder direct injection, turbo-petrol engines and 6-speed torque converter auto gearboxes. However, the latter has a slight advantage with bigger displacement, and likewise also produces more power and torque – 16hp and 52Nm more than the former. On the flip side, the XUV 3XO is 156kgs heavier. Will that have a bearing on the final results? Let’s find out.

The Mahindra XUV 3XO is the most powerful compact SUV on sale currently, while the Skoda Kylaq is one of the most fun to drive. But on the drag strip, it pans out as you’d expect. With the XUV 3XO in its sportiest ‘Zoom’ drive mode, it launches without much drama and gets the jump on the Kylaq. And then, given its power advantage, it holds on to that lead till the finish line in Race 1, recording a time over half a second quicker than the Skoda. 

In Race 2, both compact SUVs launch in sync, but the XUV 3XO yet again manages to pull a lead and stay in the lead till the finish line. Its time, however, was slower than in Race 1 because of a tiny bit of hesitation from the gearbox during launch, while the Kylaq improved on its timing from Race 1. 

Autocar India’s testing standards

Before we conduct our performance tests, we check and maintain tyre pressures based on the manufacturer’s recommendation and ensure the car has a full tank of fuel. The car is then tested in a controlled environment, and the data is collected via highly accurate GPS-based timing equipment.

Posted on by admin

अगर आप कम बजट में एक ऐसी कॉम्पैक्ट SUV खरीदने की सोच रहे हैं, जिसमें दमदार परफॉर्मेंस के साथ बेहतर ड्राइविंग एक्सपीरियंस मिले, तो 1.0-लीटर टर्बो-पेट्रोल इंजन वाली गाड़ियां आपके लिए एक अच्छा विकल्प हो सकती हैं। दरअसल, Maruti Suzuki ने नई Brezza फेसलिफ्ट के साथ इस सेगमेंट में अपनी एंट्री कर दी है। बता दें कि नई Brezza में 1.0-लीटर टर्बो बूस्टरजेट इंजन दिया गया है, जो इसी तरह के डिस्प्लेसमेंट वाले टर्बोचार्ज्ड पेट्रोल इंजन के साथ पहले से मौजूद कई अन्य सब-4-मीटर SUV की लिस्ट में शामिल हो गई हैं। अब आइए जानते हैं ऐसी 6 SUVs के बारे में, जिन्हें आप खरीदने पर विचार कर सकते हैं।

Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift

नई Brezza facelift में 1.0-लीटर टर्बो बूस्टरजेट पेट्रोल इंजन है, जो 110.2 PS की पावर और 170 Nm का पीक टॉर्क देता है। इसके अलावा, इस इंजन के साथ 6-स्पीड मैनुअल ट्रांसमिशन मिलता है। हालांकि, कंपनी ने इसमें ऑटोमैटिक ट्रांसमिशन का विकल्प नहीं दिया है। इस कैटेगरी में Brezza के टर्बो वेरिएंट की कीमत 7.40 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) से शुरू होती है, जिससे यह इस कैटेगरी की सबसे सस्ती SUV बन जाती है।

Hyundai Venue

इस SUV में 1.0-लीटर टर्बो-पेट्रोल इंजन है, जो 120 PS की पावर और 172 Nm का टॉर्क जनरेट करता है। खरीदार 6-स्पीड मैनुअल गियरबॉक्स और 7-स्पीड डुअल-क्लच ऑटोमैटिक ट्रांसमिशन में से किसी को भी चुन सकते हैं। कीमत की बात करें तो, Hyundai Venue के टर्बो-पेट्रोल वेरिएंट की शुरुआती कीमत 8.91 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) है।

Kia Sonet
