It’s not every day that you get to experience an all-new Lamborghini, especially if it's a 907bhp hybrid rocketship that revs up to 10,000rpm! This issue is headlined by our track drive of the Lamborghini Temerario, which replaces the V10-powered Huracan, and despite having large shoes to fill, the Temerario manages to impress. The Lambo’s screaming twin-turbo hybridised V8 has been balanced by the slew of silent EVs featured in this issue, including the Tesla Model Y which finally makes its debut in India, the scissor door-wielding MG Cyberster and the Mercedes-Benz CLA which will be coming to India later this year.
Also in this issue is our passenger ride experience of the Range Rover BEV, our drives of the Tata Harrier EV, the Kia Carens Clavis EV and the MG M9 EV, the BMW X3 and 2 Series Gran Coupe and the Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive 48V. Plus a deep dive of the Ferrari Amalfi. We also headed to China to gain more insights on all things Xiaomi (and their cars), and took the Mahindra XEV 9e and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder on road trips in south India. And to wrap things off, we tested the Harley-Davidson X440 to destruction in our most ambitious test ever.Grab your copy of evo India magazine from evoindia.com/magazine
Lamborghini Temerario
907bhp and 10,000rpm – those are the headline figures for the Lamborghini Huracan's replacement. But the biggest change is the playfulness of the chassis, as found out at the Estoril race track in Portugal.MG Cyberster
With a 0 to 100kmph time of just 3.2 seconds and scissor doors, MG’s electric roadster brings the drama. At just ₹75 lakh, this could be the sports car bargain you’ve been waiting for.Mercedes-Benz CLA 250+ with EQ Technology
Mercedes’ smallest car will be arriving in India later this year. Fully electric to begin with and with a hybrid to follow, it gets a massive range, ground-breaking efficiency and expected pricing in the region of ₹60 lakh.Tesla Model Y
Tesla is finally here! The American EV is offered in two rear-wheel-drive variants, the Standard and the Long Range, with futuristic styling and minimalist interiors. We drive it in Mumbai to see how well it copes with our conditions.Tata Harrier EV
All-wheel-drive makes a comeback in the Tata Motors portfolio! It may be electric, but with all four wheels driven, this SUV is the fastest accelerating Indian car that you can buy. Plus a drift mode… that doesn’t do what it says on the box.MG M9 EV
The luxury van segment is growing fast and the MG aims to grab a chunk of this segment, with the M9’s feature-laden cabin, silent drive train and competitive price. Should the Toyota Vellfire be worried?BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe
A FWD, 1.5-litre, 3-cylinder BMW? Sounds like the antithesis of the brand, but we also never judge a car by its spec sheet. We find out whether it can live up to the brand’s ethos of Sheer Driving Pleasure.Kia Carens Clavis EV
With prices starting at ₹18 lakh, this is the most affordable 7-seater in EV on sale in India and it finds itself in a sweet spot. No direct competitors, but the underpinnings of its very competent cousin. Another winner for Kia?Toyota Fortuner Neo Drive
The Fortuner goes hybrid! A 48V mild hybrid system on 4x4 variants smoothens out the driving experience while improving efficiency. This update also gave Toyota an excuse to add new drive modes, a wireless charger and a 360-degree camera.BMW X3
We have already driven the diesel, now it's time for the petrol X3. We get behind the wheel for a quick drive.Ferrari Amalfi
This super GT is now the entry point in to the Ferrari range, replacing the Roma. The engine is more powerful, the dynamics are tighter and physical buttons make a comeback! Read our deep dive on the entry-level Ferrari in this issue.Range Rover BEV
“The Range Rover BEV is the best Range Rover ever made,” says JLR’s senior management. And they mean that both in terms of comfort and capability. You can read our first impressions of the electric SUV from our passenger test ride experience.Mahindra XEV9e to Penukonda
We set our sights on the historic Penukonda Fort in Andhra Pradesh and drove there in the Mahindra XEV9e to find out the real world usability of its 533km claimed range.Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder to Palakkad
How far can you drive a hybrid on a full tank? Very, as we found out when we took Toyota’s mid-size SUV from Bengaluru to Kerala.Honda Drive to Discover
Through lush forests, misty ghats, vast tea estates and postcard-perfect waterfalls, we spent plenty of time with Honda India’s entire line-up of cars.In China with Xiaomi
While you might know of Xiaomi for its phones, TVs, air purifiers and the like, now they’re making cars. And shaking up the world order in the process. We were invited by Xiaomi to China to check out their approach to carmaking and to also have a closer look at two of their products – the Xiaomi SU7 and the YU7.Volkswagen Taigun
The best way to discover a car’s strengths or foibles is to live with it, and after spending a considerable amount of time with our long-term Taigun, we can attest that this made-for-India SUV is well-suited to our driving conditions.Škoda automatic range
Škoda has four models on sale in India and all of them get the option of an automatic transmission right from the base variant. These quality automatic transmissions don’t just aid driving convenience but also continue to deliver on driving pleasure.
Harley-Davidson X440 tested to destruction
A motorcycle is tested for over lakhs of kilometres before being introduced to the public, but what we wanted to know is would a motorcycle be able to ride home after three days of being subjected to destruction.2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z
More power, radial tyres, better brakes and a proper quickshifter – the most affordable 400 just got a lot better.Hero Vida VX2
Hero claims this scooter has the appeal and practicality of an ICE scooter along with the versatility of an electric one. We put that to the test.
Triumph Scrambler 400 XC
A meatier variant with tubeless spoked wheels, new colours and a bunch of additional accessories. Should appeal to those that actually want to scramble!
2025 TVS Apache RTR 310
An update that brings with it launch control, a transparent clutch cover, keyless ignition and revised TFT display. We experience it on track.
Ultraviolette F77
Thanks to an updated throttle map, this electric motorcycle is now more engaging to ride, without any changes to the range figures.
Tuned: Mini Cooper Countryman S
You’ve seen Coopers get tuned, but a Countryman? Rare. A Damos Stage 1 tune and additional performance enhancements allow this to make 220bhp, with plenty of visual bits to match.
Catch all this and a lot more in the August 2025 issue of evo India.
