Content
The Autorevue puts strong emphasis on the emotional side of automotive and reporting to a high level of language. This is why more space is given to longer reports, portraits and features in the magazine. Since mid-2012, the topic of classic cars has also been given more attention. The “Autorevue Premium” magazine is also published once a year, with a focus on long travel stories, car photography, reports, and sports and luxury cars.
The Autorevue Award was given until 2014. The best cars of the respective year were chosen by reader voting. A current car was raffled off among the participating readers.
Since 2004 Autorevue has also organized the Racing Rookie in cooperation with Ford Austria and the ÖAMTC . At this event a young racing driver is wanted. The winner receives a factory cockpit from Ford for one season.
From 2015 to 2017 a total of two seasons of autorevue TV were broadcast on ATV , hosted by Christian Clerici .

Martin Pfundner was the first editor-in-chief until Herbert Völker took over this task in 1967, in 2002 the tasks were delegated to Christian Kornherr and Susanne Hofbauer has been editor-in-chief of Autorevue since 2017.
During his playing days, Niki Lauda had a regular column about Formula 1 in the Autorevue. After he finished his career, he regularly participated in photo shoots and car tests. The regular authors also included Helmut Zwickl and Heinz Prüller .
German-speaking authors such as Alfred Komarek and Thomas Glavinic repeatedly write for the magazine to illustrate the literary claim of the Autorevue . Helmut A. Gansterer writes a monthly column under the pseudonym "Philipp Waldeck" with the name "Waldecks Wanderbrief". The group of experts at Autorevue includes the former Head of Development at General Motors, Friedrich Indra , and from Opel and Audi, Jürgen Stockmar.
For reporting on the 1973 oil crisis, the editorial team bought a radiated tortoise. A picture of her adorned the monthly column “Diary of the Crisis”.
