“We selected India for the international expansion of What Car? because of the amazing growth potential, as demonstrated by its sister title Autocar which launched in India seven years ago. The move will help us to deliver an authoritative and expert magazine to a whole new audience,” said Patrick Fuller, Publishing Director for What Car?.


What Car? says it has ‘assembled a team of the most respected and experienced motoring journalists in India’.


As in the UK, the magazine will provide readers with road tests, investigations, consumer surveys, money-saving advice and new car data.


In addition, What Car? India includes a Reader’s Test Team section, which represents a first in Indian motoring journalism – offering readers the opportunity to share their own experiences, test new cars and air their views about new cars and trends in the automotive industry.
