Autocar India’s November 2024 issue is headlined by the new Skoda Kylaq, and we not only bring you its first look but also drive an early prototype to give you a feel of it. We also bring you details of Maruti’s first born-electric SUV for India (and the world), the e Vitara. There are reviews of the Nissan Magnite facelift, Tata Nexon CNG, and more in the car section and the RE Classic 650 and Bajaj Pulsar N125 in the bike section. There’s even an interesting comparison between two six-cylinder diesels built for different purposes: the Indian Army’s Airavat 6x6 and the Mercedes G-Wagon. For more action-packed stories, pick up the November issue. On stands now.
