The 2024 Thrust Zone Annual Award results are finally here! After much wait, we have the results for public and jury voting. We are overwhelmed with public voting numbers as always. The categories are now dynamic keeping in time with new categories that are popping up. However, we have still held back to tradition as much as possible. The awards after all celebrate the industry’s efforts in getting these products out which change the game, give the consumers and enthusiast that bit extra which is a core reason for our awards. All this is in times when practicality and comfort are just as necessary as technology and sportiness. Let’s find out who won the fifth annual ThrustZone jury and readers awards!
READERS CHOICE AWARD WINNERS
Jury Round Winners
Summing up the awards list as you can see there are winners who truly deserve it. The readers made their choices and the jury was impressed with some vehicles that surpassed expectation. The Mercedes E-class as a vehicle impressed with its balance. The BMW GS 1300 R tested in two variants has bowled us over. The Gureilla 450 shows another side of Royal Enfield never seen before. We loved the delicate balance it has and it won all the points from my end!
Hero wins the manufacturer award! The Mavrick and the Destini offer value package and impeccable road manners that has made new Hero fans in our team! The MG Windsor has clever packaging and marketing has impressed consumers and us by a long shot! The Tata Curvv and Mahindra 3XO redefine what Indian manufacturer can do if they give their very best. TVS takes two awards for both its scooters and it shows who the scooter market king almost dethroning in sales and experience, both. My two favourites are something that have truly surprised me. Kia Carnival turned out to be the very best big luxury car from a “every day” manufacturer, says a lot. The much awaited Pulsar 400 NS Z may not be perfect, but i could see the beauty in its flaws which has had me impressed. So much more to say, but we will leave it here. Congratulations to all the winners!!!
