TURBOCHARGED July 2024:
Our July issue is out! Our July issue is out! We’ve got the EQA 250+, the newest rising star from Mercedes-Benz taking centre stage on it – the SUV joins the burgeoning entry luxury EV segment in the country and looks set to help the German luxury car maker cement its position further in the luxury EV space. We’ve also ridden the BMW R 1300 GS, the latest version of the world’s most popular full-sized adventure tourer. This issue also features our review of the Tata Altroz Racer, the enthusiast-centric version of the premium hatchback – we drove it at the country’s newest race track, no less!
We also spent a week in Ladakh, driving the Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus – you can read all about it in this issue. The new GS isn’t the only adventure tourer we’ve ridden this month though, having compared the Suzuki V-Strom 800DE to the bike it replaces, the V-Strom 650XT! The Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2, the updated version of the electric sportsbike has been tested too. All that and more, only in our July 2024 issue!

Light Saber
Mercedes-Benz has launched the EQA 250+ in India, an electric SUV that’s more than just its latest EV for the Indian market given its price, positioning and packaging. And of course, the impressive range per charge
SpeedShifting
This month we’re telling you all about the latest generation BMW M5 that’s gone hybrid and is now in its most powerful avatar. Bugatti has outdone itself, yet again, this time with the shockingly good Tourbillon that replaces the now iconic Chiron. And it’s a plug-in hybrid! Bentley has taken a similar approach with the new Continental GT too, ditching the W12 in favour of a twin turbocharged V8 which is paired with an electric motor to make it the most powerful road-going Bentley yet. Sadly, it’s also time this month to bid farewell to the Jaguar F-Type. On a brighter note, Aston Martin has confirmed its return to Le Mans and Lancia has confirmed its return to WRC!
Car Reviews
Headlining our reviews this month is the latest electric offering from Mercedes-Benz, the EQA. We also tested the new Tata Altroz Racer – on road and track! We’ve also driven the Volvo XC40 Recharge Single Motor, the Toyota Rumion and the Mahindra Scorpio-N’s new Z8 variant. A highlight for us this month also was our road trip in Ladakh, driving the Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus, as part of the first ever Volkswagen Experiences program
Take Two
Bajaj has done something no other two-wheeler maker in the world has done till date, by launching a motorcycle that runs on CNG, the Freedom 125. Reise Moto has opened its first brick and mortar store, showcasing its entire range of products. Ducati has launched its lone single cylinder offering, the Hypermotard 698 Mono in India!
Bike Reviews
We’ve ridden the all-new BMW R 1300 GS, in Ladakh no less, besides testing the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2. We’re also telling you whether or not the new Suzuki V-Strom 800DE is a worthy successor to the V-Strom 650XT, besides testing the Hero Maverick 440 and the all-new Bgauss RUV 350.
Turbo Life
We’re featuring our long term Royal Enfield Himalayan this month, besides the compact electrics in our garage, the Tata Tiago EV and MG Comet. New gear reviews this month include MX goggles from Raida and a Rynox tank bag. Under Turbo Life, we’ve reviewed Boult’s new TWS earphones (with Ford Mustang livery!), Fastrack’s new smartwatch and a comprehensive review of the ASUS Zenbook duo – it’s not just another laptop!
