The April 2025 issue of Autocar India is headlined by Nissan’s plans for a comeback in India, which includes three new locally made models. It also has the full lowdown of Autocar Track Day 2025, with 14 cars and 9 bikes setting hot laps at the CoASTT circuit. We also bring you a detailed comparison of the BMW iX1, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and BYD Sealion 7 and the third edition of our comprehensive resale value study in association with Spinny.

Nissan’s recovery plan for India

Two new SUVs, one of which is a Creta fighter, along with a compact MPV, are reasons enough to be excited. But is Nissan too late to the party?

Resale value study

Which cars depreciate the fastest, and which cars hold their value the best? We’ve drawn upon Spinny’s nationwide data and compared cars across segments for a thorough analysis.

Autocar Track Day 2025: Cars

Autocar Track Day 2025 was truly special because, for the first time, we had an F3, and that too in the hands of former F1 driver Narain Karthikeyan. He also clocked 13 other road-going cars at CoASTT, and the most powerful of them was not the quickest one.

Autocar Track Day 2025: Bikes

The 9 bikes in our line-up for Track Day 2025 were just as special as the cars. As always, we had Rajini Krishnan put these machines through their paces at the CoASTT circuit.

Skoda Kodiaq RS review

Not just the regular Kodiaq, but the sportier RS version, too, could be India-bound this year. Is this the version you should wait and save for? We find out.

KTM 390 Adventure vs RE Himalayan 450 comparison

In arguably the most awaited comparison test, two formidable midsize ADV motorcycles go head-to-head. We find out if the Himalayan 450 has finally met its match.
