Welcome to the autoX 'Best of 2021' Mega Test & Awards!

Towards the end of each calendar year, we take all the new machines launched in the past twelve months to the Buddh International Circuit in Greater Noida and put them through the wringer to choose the top-ten machines launched that year. Why at the BIC? Because it’s fun! Well, that too, but mainly because this is the only venue where we can truly test each new vehicle in a controlled environment. We evaluate machines on quality, comfort, ride, handling, refinement, design, drivetrain, practicality and value-for-money. Plus, we rate a vehicle’s X-Factor – that special something that a machine brings to the table! In addition, a Lap Time provides a uniform method to determine all the dynamic factors of a vehicle. The evaluators include our full team of experienced road testers – with over 75 years of cumulative experience in testing cars and bikes – each of whom scores every vehicle on the different parameters before the final scores are averaged.
