What Car? IN - 11.2017

Buying a car is a big decision and no one realises it more than we do. In order for you to take the correct decision, we spend hours researching the needs of a typical buyer, drive hundreds of kilometers on every type of road and measure and calculate every kind of data before we come to a verdict. And finally, our mystery-shoppers are always on a lookout and bring to you the best deals. For the better part of five years now our motto has been to help you buy the right car and we strive to achieve it month-after-month.

*** The cover story of our November 2017 edition of WhatCar? India features Volkswagen’s flagship sedan, the Passat, which has returned to India to impress buyers with its understated elegance. We also drive the new Ford EcoSport that’s more than a mere facelift; its new 1.5-litre petrol engine really impresses with its performance when compared to the engine it replaces. Skoda recently launched the Kodiaq, its large seven-seater SUV, and we pit it against the tough, full-sized Ford Endeavour and the plush, five-seater Volkswagen Tiguan, to see if it strikes the perfect balance. We also take the petrol-automatic variant of the Jeep Compass and pit it against the SUV which pioneered the premium crossover segment – the Honda CR-V. If you’re in for a petrol sedan that offers the convenience of an automatic, you can check out the comparison between the Honda City and the all-new Hyundai Verna. What’s more is that we drive the 252hp turbo-petrol BMW 330i, Audi’s chic A5 and S5 Sportbacks and the tough yet luxurious Land Rover Discovery. All that and more in our latest issue. ***
