    Buying a new car is always a special feeling. It is an investment to make your life better and all of us are spoilt for choice in automobiles. However, there is a growing consciousness about saving the planet. We are also in a world where people are choosing semi-autonomous driving. It, indeed, is a smart decision. One thing is clear: how we perceive cars is changing. Our automobiles need a makeover. The same ethos was echoed at the Bharat Mobility Auto Expo 2025, which witnessed 239 launches. Specifically, the Auto Expo witnessed 24 launches, many of which were electric and hydrogen-powered.


    Among them what caught Manifest’s eye were MG Motors' new launches particularly the MG Cyberster and MG M9. And without a doubt, the brand is conscious of this need for change. Featuring progressive technology marrying creativity effortlessly, we think these two cars would make for a great addition to the life-long investment with your partner.

    Manifest visited Auto Expo on its last day and while it may have been chaotic… It was worth it! Held at Bharat Mandapam, in the heart of the capital–the Auto Expo was filled with amazing, new launches but the MG Cyberster and MG M9 are two showstoppers to choose from!


    The moment we entered the arena, we saw a large setup called the MG Motors Select–mimicking the entire experience of buying a car at a showroom—the setup was housed with luxe features. A pristine, expansive space—there was a dedicated area for lounging while your bae could check out the cars.

    However, our question to begin with: Do you like fast cars? And when you’re travelling you likely to be comfortable in a cosy manner?

    We do too, and that’s why MG Cyberster caught our attention. It is India’s First all-electric Roadster. When we first saw it, it looked like a sports car—so luxe, sexy, and distinctive. Yet, it is discerning—engineered to ensure safety, the built-in Dual Radar sensors on each door provide protection sideways and upwards while opening.


    The car features scissor doors, operating from a single-touch button! Hello, if you won’t feel like a Catwoman from DC movies then what is the even point?! Not only that, the doors open and shut within a window time of five seconds. Despite the car being electronically driven, the MG Cyberstar has lightning-fast acceleration from 0 to 100 kmph in 3.2 seconds. What more could you ask for? For the Morris Garages enthusiasts, the car features an aerodynamic Kammback design, the electric vehicle comes with the industry’s slimmest 77 kWh battery pack, with a thickness of just 110 mm.


    And if you are planning to start your family soon or you’re a person who only believes in the adage that ‘bigger is better’, may we suggest the M9. It is India’s first electric three-row presidential limousine. May we say it is luxury on wheels and our favourite feature happens to be the touchscreen armrest on reclining ottoman seats.

    Oh also, the ottoman seats have 8 massage modes and 3-zone climate control to ensure you are as comfortable as you can be. With a quiet cabin-like atmosphere, you can also watch movies because the vibes are pretty comparable to a theatre with crisp audio. And for the young kids, who love to enjoy the air in the open, the M9 boasts a panoramic sunroof and front-opening skylight.


    In all, these cars are designed for a conscious new generation, who loves luxury and wants nothing but the best.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
