The September 2024 25th anniversary issue of Autocar India isn’t just about the drives and rides we do every month. It’s also about the emotions and the history, with each and every story making us recall and feel proud of the work we have done since 1999. We have exclusive drives of the MG Windsor and the Maybach EQS SUV. And did we mention our new Guinness World Records title? We’re excited to bring out this action-packed issue with over 400 pages and hope you have as much fun reading it as we did putting it together.

25th anniversary special stories

Ever wondered how Autocar India came to be? Or who are the employees who have been the driving force for 25 years? Or even something as simple as what’s changed in the auto industry since 1999? We have the answers.

John Abraham as guest editor

What’s as special as bringing out the 25th anniversary issue you ask? Well, how about movie star and friend of Autocar India, John Abraham, playing guest editor?

MG Windsor review

We flew down to Jakarta to bring you an exclusive drive of the MG Windsor just before its India launch. It’s another left-field EV from the carmaker that, like all MGs, will shake up the segment.

Tata Curvvs salute the Suryakirans

It’s not just Autocar that turned 25, the Suryakirans (IAF’s aerobatics team) celebrated their silver anniversary last year. Inspired by them, we tried – to the best of our abilities – to drive four Curvv EVs in formation.

Another Guinness World Records title

Setting records is second nature for us at Autocar India. And we’ve upped the ante by bagging another Guinness World Records title by travelling 949.0km on a single charge in a Mercedes EQS sedan.

Off-road Day 2024

Our annual off-road extravaganza returns! Granted we went a little soft last time around – on public demand, mind you – but we have switched back to hardcore off-roaders this year to go mud plugging.

We design our own car

It’s easy for us reviewers to critique a car’s design, but this month we put our money where our mouth is and actually designed one with the help of Tata Motors’ design team. See how our dream ‘Auto Car’ turned out.

N Chandrasekaran interview

An exclusive one-on-one with Tata Sons chairman, N Chandrasekaran, on Tata Motors dominating the EV space and rising up to the Top 3 of the sales charts, with the bestselling car in India.

Yamaha RD350 ride

The RD350 served in the Indian police force in the 1980s, and we hop on a well-maintained example to relive those days.

Autocar India in F1

F1 cars are like billboards and are the most expensive real estate on wheels. And we had our logo on Narain Karthikeyan’s F1 car. Wonder how that came about? Buy our September issue.
