Issue Special KTM 390 Adventure: Konkan - Better Get Moving

1 day ago | motoringworld.in | Kartik Ware

More from Motoring For thousands of years now, human beings have stood around, pointing at faraway places. I’m pretty sure that’s how our ancestors got wherever they did without the convenience of Google Maps. All they had was first intent and then direction, most likely without any clue about their destinations or the consequences. Not like they had an abundance of choices back then, considering the absence of ‘civilisation’ as we ‘know’ it, and because they were truly travelling to survive.
Audi RS Q8 Performance: Brute In A Suit

1 week ago | motoringworld.in | Kurt Morris

Photographs by Om KhedekarThe Audi RS Q8 is a fascinating addition to Audi’s lineup, standing out as one of the few models that truly embodies the spirit of the RS badge. It’s a car that combines raw power, cutting-edge technology, and practicality in a way that few performance SUVs can match on paper, anyway.
Skoda Kodiaq: Nocturnal animal

1 week ago | motoringworld.in | Kurt Morris

Photographs by Shreyansh ChatterjeeThe Kodiaq is back, but Skoda’s relaunch of the new-generation car wasn’t a standard press event but a detour from the usual automotive unveilings. Rather than ushering journalists through the traditional drill of airport pickups, hotel check-ins, and conference-room briefings, Skoda staged an overnight experience that concluded with the unveiling of their refreshed SUV aboard a yacht, gently rocking in the glow of Mumbai’s moonlit harbour.
Skoda Slavia: Frugal Performance

1 week ago | motoringworld.in | Kurt Morris

Over the past six weeks, the Skoda Slavia Monte Carlo Edition in its eye-catching red avatar has been our trusted road companion. This sedan effortlessly blends head-turning style with engaging driving dynamics, making every journey something to look forward to. The Monte Carlo Red paint scheme with matching red interior accents gives the Slavia a distinctly sporty character.
Kia EV6: EV6 Degrees Of Separation

1 week ago | motoringworld.in | Kurt Morris

Photographs by Ishaan JaiswalThe Kia EV6 didn’t really need fixing, and that’s precisely why this 2025 facelift works so well. Standing under the harsh summer sun at Kia’s Andhra Pradesh factory – a two-hour drive from Bengaluru through increasingly sparse terrain – the subtle evolution of its flagship electric crossover becomes clear. This isn’t an evolution, but a careful refinement of what was already one of the most compelling electric vehicles on the market.
Kia EV9: Segment buster

1 week ago | motoringworld.in | Kurt Morris

Photographs by Ishaan JaiswalLet’s be honest — when you first hear that a Kia costs more than a crore, your brain does a double-take. A Kia? For that much money? But then you see it. You sit in it. You drive it. And suddenly, the number starts making a scary amount of sense. The EV9 is a great lesson in how to take every premium ingredient in the automotive world, and bake them into something that feels genuinely special. The moment you walk up to the EV9, it hits you — this thing has a presence.
Royal Enfield Bear 650: Bringing To Bear

1 week ago | motoringworld.in | Manaal Mahatme

This is the first scrambler on which you should avoid bad roads’, these words echoed in my head as I took the Bear 650 after a long time. This was after a long month of riding everything from scooters to ADVs, so I was sort of mentally prepared for my back-breaking commute. Around 10 km into the ride, I realised that riding the Raid-kit-equipped Himalayan had made me tough enough for the Bear’s firm ride to not bother me (to an extent). And that led me to enjoy the smaller things on this bike.
’Bar Talk: Supermoto Madness

3 weeks ago | motoringworld.in | Kartik Ware

I’m a bit giddy with anticipation these days. After nearly three months of hemming and hawing, the good folks at Bajaj finally confirmed that the KTM 390 SMC R will be launched in April 2025. And I’ll get to realise a 20-year-old dream of having a proper factory-built supermoto in my garage. It’s never too late to get the right motorcycle, eh? And a supermoto, by intent and design, is more right than most.
Short Shift: Mercedes-Benz G580 - G-Shock

3 weeks ago | motoringworld.in | Kurt Morris

Photographs by Neel Kirloskar/Shreyansh ChatterjeeI was in college when I first watched a YouTube video of Arnold Schwarzenegger taking his G-Wagen to a company in Austria, to have it converted it into an electric vehicle — a move that turned heads nearly a decade ago. Since then, battery technology and electric motors have evolved significantly, making the prospect of a factory-production G-Wagen all the more exciting.
Issue Special: BMW F 900 GS - F For Feral

3 weeks ago | motoringworld.in | Manaal Mahatme

Big adventure motorcycles almost always have to strike a balance between two things — touring and off-roading — and in most cases, the former takes precedence. After all, the number of people willing to hustle such heavy bikes through trails is far lesser than who just want a serious-looking versatile machine to munch miles on. But what if such a motorcycle was built with a completely new approach, with the sole intent of tearing through the wilderness?
