The July 2023 issue of Autocar India is headlined by a first look at Honda’s upcoming midsize SUV, the Elevate. In an exclusive drive of the Ferrari 296 GTS, we took the hybrid supercar through twisty mountainous roads. We have a face-off between two new-age electric luxury sedans – the BMW i7 and the Mercedes-Benz EQS – which is followed by the Porsche Taycan Turbo S taking on its combustion-engined sibling, the Panamera Turbo S. The new BMW X1 is also put through its paces, and we have a first drive of the extravagant Range Rover SV. The coveted Mercedes-AMG SL returns to India in the SL 55 guise, and even the rains couldn't stop us from taking our first drive. In the bike pages, we uncover Triumph's latest products for the Indian market – the Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400 X. We also ride the Ducati Panigale at the famous Sepang Circuit. All this and more in the latest issue of Autocar India.

Honda Elevate 

Honda’s latest SUV offering is set to take on the likes of the Hyundai Creta in the competitive midsize SUV segment. We tell you what our first impressions are. 

Ferrari 296 GTS

Our exclusive drive of the Ferrari 296 GTS combines breathtaking roads with a hybrid supercar to satiate your senses. The hills of Himachal will surely be ringing from the V6 for a while.

Porsche Panamera vs Taycan

The battle of the Turbo S’ – Panamera vs Taycan – is one that we won't be forgetting anytime soon. Another Porsche Turbo S makes a guest appearance for a drag race. Somebody call 911!

Mercedes-Benz EQS vs BMW i7

With the world moving towards EVs, the luxury segment is not one to be left behind. We find out if BMW’s i7 can edge out the EQS from Mercedes-Benz.

BMW X1

The new-gen BMW X1 comes to India with updated engines and design. We drive it to see if it's still the X1 that the nation once fell in love with.

Mercedes AMG SL 55

The Mercedes SL convertible has always attracted the attention of the biggest stars. With its return to India, we find out if any of that’s changed.

Range Rover SV

Regular Range Rover’s too basic for you? Meet the SV, which offers you the opportunity to customise your vehicle in over 1.6 million ways. 

Ducati Panigale

With 215.5hp on tap, the Ducati Panigale V4 has the ability to scramble your brains. And this time, we get the chance to ride it on a legendary track, the Sepang Circuit in Malaysia.

Ultraviolette F77 

The Ultraviolette F77 is electric, expensive and heavy, but most importantly, it’s rapid. We put it through its charge cycles to see just how good it is.

Triumph 400s 

Bajaj has a knack for picking the right companies to partner with. After Kawasaki and KTM, the brand has now joined forces with Triumph to produce not one but two 400cc motorcycles. Here’s our first look.
