Welcome to the 2020s: MOTOR Magazine January 2020 issue preview

The first issue of MOTOR Magazine for the decade is here, and it’s looking to the future in a big way.

Not only is our cover car, the C8 Corvette a while away from our shores yet, but we’ve also taken the opportunity to point out where we see automotive trends heading.

You can find MOTOR at retailers around Australia. Or you can subscribe and save yourself some cash, there’s even a (cheaper!) digital subscription option.

Subscribers often receive their mags earlier, so you’ll get to see what MOTOR has to offer before anyone else.

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to interact with us, give us feedback, and get a peek behind the scenes.
