Maruti intends to change its perception of being 'just' a small carmaker with its SX4 replacement, the Ciaz. We take a closer look at the car that will be Maruti's first proper rival to the Honda City, VW Vento and Hyundai Verna. And, we've pit the stunning new Hyundai Xcent petrol against its two main rivals, the Honda Amaze and Maruti Swift Dzire. Find out which compact sedan you should put your money on. Also in this issue, we've compared two stylish SUVs, Hyundai's stunning looking new Santa Fe and Renault's updated Koleos - should you spend more money and get the Hyundai or is the Koleos all you need? Plus, we've got loads of deals, discounts, tips for buying used, and our regulars - Reader Test Team, Helpdesk, Reader Rescue - and more.
