Best of 2025: The Top 10 Machines of the Year

Our December 2025 issue brings our landmark Best of 2025 Mega Test to its conclusion, crowning the Top 10 cars and motorcycles launched over the past year. After putting 50 contenders — across four wheels and two — through rigorous testing, the winners have emerged, judged on performance, usability, value, and engineering depth.

On four wheels, honours go to the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Škoda Kylaq, Maruti Suzuki Victoris, and Mahindra XEV 9e. On two wheels, the top awards are claimed by the TVS NTorq 150, Honda CB 125 Hornet, and Royal Enfield Classic 650, with ultimate performance honours going to the Audi RS Q8 Performance and the Ducati Panigale V4 S. With the complete list of winners and perspectives from the people behind them, this is your definitive wrap of the machines that topped our annual test.

Elsewhere in the issue, we take an early drive of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara in the UK, analysing what India’s largest carmaker’s first mass-market EV could mean for the segment. We also drive the Mahindra XEV 9S to see how a more practical body style expands Mahindra’s electric appeal, and put the second-generation Hyundai Venue under the microscope to find out whether it has what it takes to stand out in one of India’s toughest SUV segments.

Add to that Dhruv Behl’s Letter from the Editor on Jaguar’s identity crisis, Srini’s expert opinion on the proposed Bharat NCAP 2.0 protocol, and the latest from motorsport, technology, and the wider automotive industry, and the December 2025 issue of autoX serves as the perfect full stop to the year that was. It’s out on stands - get your copy now!
