In our December 2019 issue, we bring you exclusive stories you just can’t miss! This month’s issue packs in India exclusive drives of the all-new Mercedes-Benz GLE and the Toyota Vellfire luxury MPV to go with Karun Chandhok’s account of driving Lewis Hamilton’s championship-winning Formula 1 race car. We’ve also driven the Mercedes-Benz G 350d, and put together two mega comparison tests – the Maruti Suzuki S-Presso takes on the Renault Kwid facelift, and the Hyundai Elantra facelift goes up against the Honda Civic and the Skoda Octavia. Also in this issue is a recap of our epic drive from California to Oregon in an Audi Q7, a quick first look at the 620hp Ferrari Roma and a full report of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Rally, to go with our reviews of the Ultraviolette F77 and Ducati Panigale V2 and a battle involving the Benelli Imperiale 400, Jawa Forty-Two and Royal Enfield Classic 350 + more juicy news from the industry and features you’ll enjoy reading. Here are the highlights:
