Diesel vs Hybrid vs Electric

This month’s cover story asks a big question – can hybrid or electric finally replace diesel as the mileage king? We find out with a three-way showdown between the Hyundai Creta diesel, Maruti Suzuki Victoris hybrid, and MG Windsor EV.

Elsewhere, it’s Scram 440 vs TVS RTX in a battle of rugged nostalgia versus modern tech to see which one deserves the spot in the single motorcycle garage. We also head off-road with the MG Majestor to find out if it has what it takes to challenge the long-reigning Fortuner. BMW finally brings the more powerful X3 30 to India and we put it to the test, while we also drive the Punch EV facelift and the new Toyota Ebella.

Beyond the usual reviews, we ride into the Rann of Kutch with TVS for the second edition of the TVS X Rann Utsav, where machines and community come together on India’s white desert.

And finally, we pay tribute to Sanjay ‘Hardy’ Sharma – a pillar of Indian motorsport for over three decades, a tough mentor who helped shape champions at JK Tyre Motorsport, and an even better friend.
