What Car? IN - 12.2017

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 December 2017 issues of WhatCar? India features the new generation of Maruti’s blockbuster hatchback, the Swift, that’s likely to hit showrooms in 2018. We also drive the diesel and petrol automatic versions of the Ford EcoSport; the very stylish Audi A5 Cabriolet; Mini’s thrilling little pocket-rocket – Cooper S JCW; and Mahindra’s more powerful 140hp, Scorpio. Renault’s stylish new Captur takes on the segment-best Hyundai Creta and the result is surprising. Then, we pick the best petrol sub-4-metre compact SUV from between the Ford EcoSport, Honda WR-V and Tata Nexon. Mahindra recently updated the KUV100, so we pit it against the Maruti Ignis diesel to find out which is better. Ever wondered what all those lights on your car’s instrument cluster stand for? We’ve decoded it for you. The newest spec-advice page tells you which among the several variants of the Verna is the best one to buy. All that, plus a comprehensive Buyer’s Guide, in this month’s issue.***
