The Volkswagen Group is turning up the heat with not one, but two new SUVs in the Rs 10-20 lakh price bracket with the Taigun and Kushaq. The August issue features the review of the soon to be launched VW Taigun while the fresh off the production line Skoda Kushaq takes on the Hyundai Creta and the Renault Duster in our Road Test. The First Drive section also includes the very sensible Mercedes-AMG E 53 while the First Ride section has reviews of the retro-looking Yamaha FZ-X and the gorgeous BMW R 18 cruiser. Auto Today’s Top Story this month sheds light on the upcoming Ola e-scooter. Mini is out with the chic new 2021 range and we got all three 3-door hatch, convertible and the JCW together for a taste of the iconic brand’s latest offerings.

The August issue features a drive to a hidden gem well within the confines of Delhi-NCR with the Hyundai Tucson. As always, we’ve got all the latest news from the domestic, commercial and international automotive world along with updates on our long term fleet including a wrap-up of the Kia Sonet’s term with us. Enjoy the August issue of Auto Today and ride and drive safe. Step put only when necessary and whenever you do, please keep your mask to help fight the virus.
