To ensure fairness, all jury scores were averaged, while the BIC pushed each machine&nbsp;to its limits, revealing strengths and weaknesses alike. In the end, ten winners emerged:&nbsp;eight vehicles earned the prestigious ‘Best of 2025’ title, while two record-breaking performers were crowned Performance Car of the Year and Performance Bike of the Year.&nbsp;Let’s take a closer look at our ‘Best of 2025’.</p><h2>Who Chooses the 'Best of 2025'?</h2><p>The autoX Awards 2025 follow a simple and clear testing process. A team of road testers with over 100 years of combined experience scores each vehicle across key parameters. All scores are then averaged, which keeps the results fair and transparent.</p><p>For performance runs, autox Editor-in-Chief and part-time racer Dhruv Behl records lap times for cars. Two-time JK 1,000cc champion Simranjeet Singh, aka Simran King, handles the lap times for motorcycles.</p><p>The 2025 car jury comprises Dhruv Behl (Editor-in-Chief), Ishan Raghava (Consulting Editor), Shivank Bhatt (Assistant Editor), Siddharth (Special Correspondent), Karan Mathur (Multimedia Producer), Kingshuk Dutta (Features Editor), Aakash S Paul (Special Correspondent) and Ashish Jha (Jury Member). The motorcycle jury features Shivank Bhatt (Assistant Editor), Karan Mathur (Multimedia Producer), Kingshuk Dutta (Features Editor), and Aakash S Paul (Special Correspondent).</p><h2>The Testing Ground</h2><p>This year’s mega-test happened at the Buddh International Circuit, a track the team knows well. With 50 vehicles lined up, the testing is focused on the 2.0-kilometre technical loop at the back of the circuit. This section avoids the long straights, where high-power machines would have an edge, and helps keep the field level.</p><h2>autoX Awards Best of 2025 Winners:</h2><p>Here are the ones that made the cut this year. These are the Best of 2024!</p><h2>Winners for autoX Awards Best of 2025: Performance</h2><h2>Audi RS Q8 Performance (Total Points: 62.5)</h2><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Audi-RS-Q8-Performance-1762927622817.webp" alt="Audi RS Q8 Performance.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The Audi RS Q8 Performance has taken the top spot as the Performance Car of the Year. On the track, it went all out, beating strong rivals like the Aston Martin DBX 707, BMW M5, Mercedes-AMG CLE 53, and Porsche Macan Turbo EV with a stunning lap time of 1:02.8.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/track-test/audi-rs-q8-performance-performance-car-of-the-year---autox-awards-2025-122157/">Audi RS Q8 Performance: Performance Car of the Year - autoX Awards 2025</a></p><p>The RS Q8 Performance draws its incredible speed from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 that pumps out 631bhp and 850Nm. With power sent to all four wheels through an 8-speed automatic gearbox and Audi’s iconic quattro system, the luxury SUV sprints from 0–100km/h in 3.6 seconds and hits a top speed of 305km/h.</p><h2>Ducati Panigale V4 S (Total Points: 71)</h2>
    
      
    <p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-1762924116392.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The Panigale V4 S packs a 1,103cc V4 that makes about 216bhp and 120.9Nm, and it delivers that power in a clean, predictable way. The updated electronics — including traction, wheelie and engine-brake control — make it easier to push hard, while the lighter frame, new symmetrical swing-arm and updated Ohlins suspension help it stay stable on the brakes and quick out of corners.</p><p>Ducati has given the bike sharper bodywork, slimmer winglets and a look that still nods to the iconic 916. The new hollow swing-arm and lighter frame also improve the stance. Ducati has tucked the foot-rests in by 10mm to help with lean angle on track. The Panigale V4 S is a ‘Best of 2025’ winner not just because it’s fast, but because it sets a new benchmark.</p><h2>autoX Awards Best of 2025 Winners:</h2><p>Here are the ones that made the cut this year. These are the Best of 2025!  </p><h2>Mahindra XEV 9e (Total Points: 59.7)</h2><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Mahindra-XEV-9e-1762928246434.webp" alt="Mahindra XEV 9e.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Built on Mahindra’s dedicated INGLO platform, the XEV 9e is India’s next-generation electric SUV and one of the standout entries in our Best of 2025. Designed from the ground up, it delivers refinement, stability, and a fresh, sophisticated driving experience.&nbsp;The model we tested packs a 79kWh battery and a rear-mounted motor producing 282bhp and 380Nm. Mahindra claims a 0–100km/h time of&nbsp;6.8 seconds, and while it’s not a hardcore performance SUV, its power is smooth and progressive. On the Buddh International Circuit’s short loop, it posted a 1:13.9 lap, just a second behind the Creta EV, highlighting both its weight and the impressive poise of its chassis.</p><h2>Maruti Suzuki Victoris (Total Points: 60.2)</h2><p>
      
    
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Maruti-Suzuki-Victoris-1762928518799.webp" alt="Maruti Suzuki Victoris.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The newly launched Victoris is one of our Best of 2025 picks, shining out with an eye-catching design that breaks from Maruti Suzuki’s past. Its sleek front, sharply sculpted rear, sloping roof, and full-width taillight give it instant road presence. On the track, the TECT platform proved its mettle. With 102bhp and 139Nm of performance figures,&nbsp;the Victoris feels confident, well-planted, and surprisingly capable, hinting at a chassis that could handle even more power.</p><h2>Skoda Kylaq (Total Points: 61)</h2><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Skoda-Kylaq-1762928815831.webp" alt="Skoda Kylaq.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The Skoda Kylaq, the brand’s first sub-4m SUV, secures its spot in our Best of 2025. Its 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine delivers 114bhp and 178Nm, paired with a smooth six-speed manual or automatic. Outside, the Kylaq impresses with&nbsp;a signature grille, clean proportions, and smart design touches, while inside, it exudes clean lines, symmetry,&nbsp;and meticulous attention to detail.</p><h2>Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB (Total Points: 61.4)</h2><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Mercedes-Benz-E-Class-LWB-1762929161550.webp" alt="Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Another highlight in our Best of 2025 is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB, which turned the track into its showcase with a 1:10.1 lap at BIC. That’s&nbsp;extraordinary for a luxury sedan, faster than many sports coupes and hot EVs. Beneath its elegant exterior, a 3.0-litre inline-six turbo with a 48V mild-hybrid system produces 381bhp&nbsp;and 500Nm, propelling it from 0–100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.</p><h2>Volkswagen Golf GTI (Total Points: 62.7)</h2><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Volkswagen-Golf-GTI-1762929343019.webp" alt="Volkswagen Golf GTI.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Another star of our Best of 2025 is the Volkswagen Golf GTI, a true benchmark for hot hatches. With a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 261bhp and 370Nm, it rockets to 267km/h effortlessly while comfortably seating four adults. On the track, the GTI delivered pure exhilaration.</p><p>Its razor-sharp handling, precise cornering, and forgiving chassis let you push the limits while staying completely in control. Every lap at the Buddh International Circuit left our jury impressed.&nbsp;And that’s the beauty of the Golf GTI. It’s everything you could ever want in a car.</p><h2>TVS NTorq 150&nbsp;(Total Points: 72.3)</h2><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/TVS-NTorq-150-1762924908134.webp" alt="TVS NTorq 150.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The TVS NTorq 150 runs a 149.7cc engine and topped the two-wheeler list at the autoX Awards 2025. It impressed on the Buddh International Circuit test loop with its mix of strong performance, confident handling and solid braking. The scooter delivered consistent results across all track metrics, which helped it secure the top honour in the two-wheeler category.</p><p>The NTorq 150 stood out for its design, features and overall value. Its styling, tech and ride-modes added to its appeal, making it a complete package. The judges rated it highly for practicality and the kind of everyday usability that gives it an extra “X-factor” in a crowded segment.</p><h2>Honda CB 125 Hornet&nbsp;(Total Points: 70.2)</h2><p>
      
    <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Honda-CB-125-Hornet-1762924700398.webp" alt="Honda CB 125 Hornet.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The Honda CB 125 Hornet features a 123.94 cc single-cylinder engine producing 11bhp at 7,500 rpm and 11.2Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The bike achieved a 0-60 km/h time of about 5.4 seconds. With its smooth mid-range performance, crisp gearshifts and planted chassis, it handled the test track with composure and agility.</p><p>From its twin-LED headlamp with DRLs to golden upside-down front forks, the Hornet’s styling draws cues from higher-cc siblings and gives it a bold look. It includes a 4.2-inch TFT instrument display with Bluetooth connectivity, muscular tank extensions and full-LED lighting. The blend of sporty ergonomics and segment-first hardware makes its visual and functional appeal strong.</p><h2>Honda CB 125 Hornet&nbsp;(Total Points: 69.7)</h2>
    
      
    <p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/11/Royal-Enfield-Classic-650-Motion-1762924383682.webp" alt="Royal Enfield Classic 650-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The Royal Enfield Classic 650 uses a 648 cc parallel-twin engine paired with a six-speed gearbox, delivering refined power and smooth responsiveness. It was praised in the autoX Awards 2025 for how this powertrain works across city and highway riding, making it a strong contender in its segment. </p><p>The Classic 650 combines retro styling with modern execution—featuring a long wheelbase, classic tank graphics and minimalist instrumentation.</p>

autoX Awards 2025 Winners Announced: Audi, Ducati, Maruti Suzuki and More Bag Top Honours

autoX Awards 2025: The winners are here! Over 50 top cars and bikes battled at Buddh International Circuit for the coveted 'Best of 2025.'

<p>
The introduction of the Victoris in the highly competitive mid-size SUV segment is an interesting move by Maruti Suzuki. I say that because the Grand Vitara was already performing well and maintaining a strong presence in the segment. It seems that the Victoris is aimed at expanding the brand’s reach further in the segment, given that it is sold through the Arena network, which comprises over 3,000 outlets – six times the number of Nexa outlets. This will allow the Victoris to target a much larger customer base. Economically, the move also makes sense, for the Victoris shares the same platform, engines, and gearboxes as the Grand Vitara, giving the brand better economies of scale.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/maruti-suzuki-victoris-first-drive-review---aiming-for-the-top-121950/">Maruti Suzuki Victoris First Drive Review - Aiming for the Top</a></p>

<p>The Victoris impresses with its striking design, which breaks away from Maruti Suzuki’s previous products. Crafted entirely at Maruti Suzuki’s India design studio, largely staffed by Indian designers, it commands strong road presence. Some of its design highlights include elements such as a sleek front fascia, a sharply styled rear end, a sloping roof, and a full-width taillight, which give it a distinctive character.</p>

<p>Inside, the cabin is a noticeable step up from other Maruti Suzuki models. While it still shares parts with other Maruti Suzuki products, the larger multimedia touchscreen and full-colour instrument cluster are visible upgrades. Similarly, while the quality of the cabin has definitely improved, there are a few hard plastics that could do with some improvement. In terms of practicality, the Victoris fares decently – while the boot space is generous, and the front seats are spacious and comfortable, the sloping roof compromises headroom for passengers taller than six feet.</p>

<p>Another major upgrade is the extensive list of standard equipment, making the Victoris the most feature-rich Maruti Suzuki product in India. This includes Level 2 ADAS, making it the brand’s first model to offer this technology. Six airbags are standard across variants, complemented by a panoramic sunroof and a broad suite of connectivity and entertainment options.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/suzuki-victoris-compressed-biogas-variant-revealed-at-japan-mobility-show-2025-122042/">Suzuki Victoris Compressed Biogas Variant Revealed at Japan Mobility Show 2025</a></p>

<p>On the track, the excellent capability of the TECT platform became quite evident. With 102bhp and 139Nm of torque, the Victoris feels confident and composed on the track. It has ample grip, well-weighted steering, and a suspension tuned to handle a wide range of road conditions. In fact, the platform seems capable of handling significantly more power. Coupled with its strong value proposition – it received one of the highest scores in that category – and excellent fuel economy numbers, exceeding 20km/l in everyday use, the Victoris emerges as a highly satisfying package and a deserving winner of our ‘Best of 2025’ award.

Maruti Suzuki Victoris Wins Car of the Year - autoX Awards 2025

The Maruti Suzuki Victoris impresses with its striking design, which breaks away from Maruti Suzuki’s previous products.

<p>
The Maruti Suzuki Dzire hardly needs an introduction. As India’s bestselling sedan for years, it has quietly cemented its place in both family garages and taxi fleets across the country. And while SUVs may currently dominate the market, the Dzire reminds us why a well-engineered sedan still makes perfect sense on Indian roads.</p>

<p>Built on Maruti’s Heartect platform, the Dzire’s greatest strength lies in its simplicity and ease of use. It’s light, compact, and delightfully easy to drive, especially in congested city conditions. The chassis feels balanced, and the steering is light yet precise, making tight city manoeuvres a breeze, while the suspension soaks up most surface imperfections with impressive composure. The result is a car that feels mature and well-tuned for everyday use – a quality reflected in its strong ride and handling scores in our track test.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/videos/honda-amaze-zx-cvt-vs-maruti-suzuki-dzire-zxi-amt-indias-most-vfm-automatic-compact-sedan-autox-121029/">Honda Amaze ZX CVT vs Maruti Suzuki Dzire ZXi+ AMT: India's Most VFM Automatic Compact Sedan | autoX</a></p>

<p>Powering the car is Maruti’s 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, which produces 80bhp and 112Nm of torque and is paired with either a five-speed manual or an AMT. The engine is responsive enough for everyday driving and remarkably efficient. That said, the AMT gearbox remains its weakest link. In stop-go traffic, it hesitates between shifts, making progress feel jerky and inconsistent. On the highway, however, the Dzire settles into a comfortable rhythm, delivering impressive efficiency and surprising stability. On the Buddh International Circuit’s short loop, it managed a 1:15.2 lap time – not fast but respectable enough for a comfort-oriented compact sedan.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/car-reviews/maruti-suzuki-dzire-amt-vs-honda-amaze-cvt-comparison-review-121269/">Maruti Suzuki Dzire AMT vs Honda Amaze CVT Comparison - Automatic Reign</a></p>

<p>The cabin is well-appointed and thoughtfully equipped. The 9.0-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone connectivity, Arkamys-tuned audio, and even a sunroof give it a premium edge. Space and ergonomics are spot-on, though the quality of some materials and overall refinement still hint at cost-cutting. In essence, the Dzire remains true to its core strengths – it’s efficient, comfortable, and dependable. It may no longer have the novelty factor, but few cars deliver honest value quite as consistently as it does.
