<p>JLR has opened bookings for the Range Rover Sport Electric in India, marking the arrival of the first fully electric version of the Sport nameplate. The SUV uses a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system and a 118.5kWh battery, with deliveries in India expected to begin by March 2027.</p>
<p>The Range Rover Sport Electric is expected to be positioned above the existing combustion-engined versions of the SUV, with an estimated price of around Rs 2.5 crore.</p>
<p><strong>Range Rover Sport Electric: Powertrain and range</strong></p>
<p>The electric SUV is based on JLR’s 800V MLA-Flex architecture, which is also used by the Range Rover Electric. It uses a 118.5kWh battery pack and dual electric motors driving all four wheels.</p>
<p><strong>Key specifications include:</strong></p>
<p>– Up to 550 HP<br />
– 850 Nm of peak torque<br />
– 0-100 km/hr in a claimed 4.5 seconds<br />
– Claimed 609 km WLTP range<br />
– 118.5kWh battery<br />
– 800V electrical architecture<br />
– Dual-motor AWD</p>
<p>JLR says the 850Nm output is the highest torque figure offered on a Range Rover Sport so far. The claimed acceleration time is also comparable to that of the P540 V8-powered Range Rover Sport.</p>
<p><strong>350kW fast charging</strong></p>
<p>The Range Rover Sport Electric supports DC fast charging at up to 350kW. JLR claims the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 22 minutes.</p>
<p>A 10-minute charging session is claimed to add up to 220km of range, under the company’s stated conditions.</p>
<p>The battery comes with an eight-year or 1.6 lakh km warranty, whichever comes first.</p>
<p><strong>Chassis and suspension</strong></p>
<p>The electric SUV gets several chassis changes compared with the combustion-engined Sport. JLR says its body structure is 61 percent stiffer, while the centre of gravity is 73mm lower.</p>
<p>The suspension setup includes double wishbones at the front and a five-link arrangement at the rear. It also features air suspension, twin-valve dampers, active roll control and all-wheel steering.</p>
<p>Braking hardware comprises 380mm ventilated front discs with four-piston callipers and 355mm rear discs.</p>
<p><strong>Exterior design remains familiar</strong></p>
<p>Visually, the Range Rover Sport Electric retains much of the design of its combustion-engined counterpart. The front gets slim LED headlamps and a black, aerodynamically optimised grille, while Range Rover lettering is positioned on the bonnet.</p>
<p>The SUV is available with wheels measuring up to 22 inches, with aerodynamic inserts designed for the electric model. Flush-fitting door handles and blacked-out pillars, roof and exterior mirrors are also part of the design.</p>
<p>At the rear, the electric SUV gets wraparound LED tail-lights connected visually by a gloss-black panel carrying Range Rover lettering.</p>
<p><strong>Four variants available</strong></p>
<p>JLR will offer the Range Rover Sport Electric in four variants:</p>
<p>– Dynamic SE<br />
– Dynamic HSE<br />
– Autobiography<br />
– First Edition</p>
<p>A Black Pack and Satin Wrap will also be available. The First Edition gets a Zadar Grey exterior with a Satin Wrap, black contrast roof and 22-inch wheels. Autobiography buyers will also have access to Range Rover Bespoke personalisation options.</p>
<p><strong>Interior and features</strong></p>
<p>The cabin largely follows the layout of the combustion-engined Range Rover Sport. It features a 13.1-inch infotainment touchscreen and a 13.7-inch digital instrument cluster, with both displays receiving EV-specific information.</p>
<p><strong>The SUV retains a five-seat layout and gets features including:</strong></p>
<p>– Four-zone climate control<br />
– Wireless smartphone charging<br />
– Rear sunblinds<br />
– Heated and ventilated front and rear seats<br />
– Touch-sensitive steering wheel controls</p>
<p><strong>India launch and expected price</strong></p>
<p>The Range Rover Sport Electric is expected to reach India by March 2027 as a fully imported model. JLR expects the SUV to be priced at around Rs 2.5 crore.</p>
<p>This would put it significantly above the current non-SV Range Rover Sport, which is priced between Rs. 1.43 crore and Rs. 1.60 crore. The electric SUV will also not qualify for tariff concessions under the India-UK Free Trade Agreement, according to the information provided.</p>

<p>Skoda Auto India will revise prices across its entire model range from October 1, 2026. The company has announced an increase of up to 1.2 percent at the ex-showroom level, subject to a maximum hike of Rs. 20,000.</p>
<p>The exact increase will vary depending on the model and variant. Skoda has attributed the revision to higher input and operational costs.</p>
<p><strong>Skoda India price hike: Model-wise details</strong></p>
<p>The current Skoda India range comprises the Kylaq, Slavia, Kushaq and Kodiaq. While the company has announced the maximum percentage increase and overall cap, model- and variant-specific revised prices have not yet been disclosed.</p>
<p>The potential maximum increase based on the announced 1.2 percent hike is as follows:</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Model</th>
<th>Current Ex-Showroom Price</th>
<th>Maximum Possible Hike</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Skoda Kylaq</td>
<td>Rs 7.59 lakh – Rs 12.99 lakh</td>
<td>Up to Rs 15,588</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Skoda Slavia</td>
<td>Rs 10.00 lakh – Rs 18.19 lakh</td>
<td>Up to Rs 20,000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Skoda Kushaq</td>
<td>Rs 10.69 lakh – Rs 18.99 lakh</td>
<td>Up to Rs 20,000</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Skoda Kodiaq</td>
<td>Rs 36.99 lakh – Rs 66.99 lakh</td>
<td>Up to Rs 20,000</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The maximum possible hike figures are calculated at 1.2 percent of the current ex-showroom prices, subject to Skoda’s Rs. 20,000 cap. Actual model- and variant-wise increases may be lower.</p>
<p><strong>Slavia facelift launch scheduled for October 6</strong></p>
<p>The price revision comes shortly before the Skoda Slavia facelift is scheduled to be launched in India on October 6. Production of the updated sedan has already commenced at Skoda’s Chakan facility, while bookings are currently open.</p>
<p>The upcoming facelift will therefore enter the market shortly after the company’s latest price revision takes effect.</p>
<p><strong>Skoda had raised prices earlier this year</strong></p>
<p>This is not Skoda’s first price revision in 2026. The company had increased prices for the Slavia, Kylaq and Kushaq in January.</p>
<p>The Slavia received an increase of up to Rs. 34,000, while prices of the Kylaq went up by as much as Rs. 19,000. The Kushaq received an increase ranging between Rs. 5000 and Rs. 7000.</p>
<p>The latest revision comes ahead of the festive season, when manufacturers typically see increased demand. Several other carmakers have also announced price increases in recent months.</p>

<p>Porsche has showcased the all-electric Cayenne in India for the first time, following its price announcement in the country late last year. The electric SUV is offered in two variants here — Cayenne Electric and Cayenne Turbo Electric — positioned above the brand’s existing electric SUV offerings in terms of performance and size.</p>
<p>Prices start at Rs. 1.77 crores (ex-showroom) for the Cayenne Electric and go up to Rs. 2.28 crores (ex-showroom) for the Cayenne Turbo Electric, before optional equipment.</p>
<p><strong>Porsche Cayenne Electric: Powertrain and performance</strong></p>
<p>Both versions use Volkswagen Group’s 800V Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture and come with a 113kWh battery and dual electric motors, providing all-wheel drive as standard.</p>
<p><strong>The Cayenne Electric produces:</strong></p>
<p>– 408 HP and 750 Nm<br />
– 442 HP and 835 Nm with Launch Control<br />
– 0-100km/hr in 4.8 seconds<br />
– Top speed of 230 km/hr<br />
– 642 km claimed WLTP range</p>
<p><strong>The more powerful Cayenne Turbo Electric develops:</strong></p>
<p>– 857 HP and 1360 Nm<br />
– 1156 HP and 1500 Nm with Launch Control<br />
– 0-100 km/hr in 2.5 seconds<br />
– Top speed of 260 km/hr<br />
– 623 km claimed WLTP range</p>
<p><strong>Charging</strong></p>
<p>The 800V electrical architecture allows the Cayenne Electric to accept up to 390kW of DC charging. Porsche claims a 10-80 percent charge can be completed in 16 minutes, while a 10-minute charging session can add up to 324 km of range.</p>
<p>The SUV also supports AC charging at up to 22kW, with a claimed 0-100 percent charging time of 5.75 hours.</p>
<p><strong>Exterior design and dimensions</strong></p>
<p>The Cayenne Electric follows an evolution of Porsche’s current SUV design, with styling elements shared with the smaller Macan Electric.</p>
<p>At the front, it gets Matrix LED headlamps with four individual DRLs, along with a wide lower air intake and vertical side air intakes. A 90-litre front boot is also available.</p>
<p>Measuring 4985 mm long, 1980 mm wide and 1674 mm tall, the electric Cayenne has a 3023 mm wheelbase. It is 55 mm longer than the combustion-engined Cayenne.</p>
<p>The SUV gets 20-inch alloy wheels as standard, with 22-inch wheels available as an option. Soft-close doors are also standard.</p>
<p>At the rear, the Cayenne Electric gets a sloping roofline, a full-width LED light bar with an illuminated Porsche logo and a prominent roof spoiler.</p>
<p><strong>Interior and features</strong></p>
<p>The cabin features a 14.5-inch curved OLED central touchscreen alongside a 14.25-inch digital driver’s display. A 14.9-inch screen for the front passenger is available as an option.</p>
<p>Other features include a panoramic sunroof, four-zone climate control, powered and heated front seats, driver-seat memory, a 10-speaker audio system, 360-degree camera and ADAS.</p>
<p>The cabin also gets a configurable ambient lighting system with 30 colour options, while the centre console incorporates additional storage and a wireless charging pad.</p>
<p>Boot capacity stands at 781 litres, complemented by the front storage compartment.</p>
<p>With two variants, high-output dual-motor powertrains and a claimed range of more than 600 km, the Cayenne Electric expands Porsche’s electric portfolio in India while retaining the performance-focused positioning associated with the Cayenne nameplate.</p>

<p>BMW has introduced the next generation 3 Series, expanding the nameplate with a broader mix of powertrains while adopting the brand’s latest Neue Klasse design and technology. The range marks a significant shift for the long-running sedan, with the fully electric BMW i3 joining petrol-powered versions featuring 48V mild-hybrid technology. A plug-in hybrid variant is also planned for a later stage.</p>
<p><strong>New BMW 3 Series gets Neue Klasse-inspired design</strong></p>
<p>The new 3 Series adopts BMW’s latest design language while retaining the proportions associated with the sedan. It features a longer wheelbase, short overhangs, a set-back glasshouse and more pronounced wheel arches. Flush-fitting door handles and a prominent character line running along the sides further distinguish the new model.</p>
<p>At the front, BMW has reworked its traditional kidney grille and twin-headlamp arrangement into a single visual unit. M Performance versions receive distinctive M Yellow Lights, while the rear gets a predominantly horizontal lighting signature and a wider-looking stance.</p>
<p>Wheel sizes will vary according to the version. The electric i3 can be equipped with 19- to 21-inch wheels, while combustion-engine models get 18- to 20-inch options. M Sport and M Sport Pro packages will also be available.</p>
<p><strong>Cabin focuses on digital technology and driver orientation</strong></p>
<p>Inside, the 3 Series adopts the minimalist approach seen across BMW’s Neue Klasse models. The highlight is BMW Panoramic iDrive, which combines the BMW Panoramic Vision display, an optional 3D Head-Up Display, a centrally mounted touchscreen and a redesigned multifunction steering wheel.</p>
<p>The central display measures 17.9 inches and is angled towards the driver. BMW says the new interface is designed around touch, physical controls and voice interaction, with the Intelligent Personal Assistant also incorporating Amazon Alexa+ technology.</p>
<p>The cabin can be configured with four interior design themes, while features such as electrically adjustable seats with memory, optional multifunction and M Sport seats, rear-seat heating and Harman Kardon audio are available.</p>
<p><strong>BMW i3 brings electric power to the 3 Series</strong></p>
<p>For the first time, the 3 Series range includes a fully electric sedan based on BMW’s Neue Klasse architecture. The BMW i3 uses the company’s sixth-generation eDrive technology, featuring cylindrical-cell batteries, new electric motors, an 800V electrical architecture and bidirectional charging capability.</p>
<p>At launch, the i3 will be offered in two variants. The BMW i3 50 xDrive produces 345 kW (469 HP) and 645 Nm, with a claimed 0-100 km/hr time of 4.7 seconds. Its 108.7 kWh battery provides a claimed WLTP range of up to 912 km, while DC charging at up to 400 kW can add up to 423 km of range in 10 minutes under BMW’s stated conditions.</p>
<p>The BMW i3 40 xDrive develops 275 kW (374 HP) and uses an 82.8 kWh battery. BMW quotes a maximum WLTP range of 710 km for this version. An even more powerful i3 M60 xDrive M Performance model is scheduled to join the range in 2027.</p>
<p><strong>M350 xDrive remains the performance flagship</strong></p>
<p>Despite the arrival of the electric i3, BMW is continuing with a six-cylinder petrol-powered performance variant. The new M350 xDrive uses a 3.0-litre inline-six petrol engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system.</p>
<p>It develops 326 kW (443 HP) and can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hr in 4.1 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/hr. BMW also introduces a Drift Moment feature, which allows the driver to direct engine power to the rear wheels for controlled oversteer.</p>
<p>Two four-cylinder petrol variants will also join the combustion-engine range at launch, with all petrol engines using BMW’s latest TwinPower Turbo technology.</p>
<p><strong>More driver assistance and connected features</strong></p>
<p>The new 3 Series also gets an expanded suite of driver-assistance systems. BMW says the range will offer SAE Level 2 assistance functions, enhanced active safety technology and its Symbiotic Drive system.</p>
<p>The Motorway Assistant can enable hands-free driving at speeds of up to 130 km/h in 21 countries, while additional navigation-guided assistance functions for urban environments are planned from 2027.</p>
<p><strong>Production split between Munich and Dingolfing</strong></p>
<p>Production of the electric BMW i3 will take place at BMW Group Plant Munich, the historic home of the 3 Series. BMW plans to transition the Munich facility entirely to production of Neue Klasse electric models in 2027.</p>
<p>Combustion-engine versions of the new 3 Series will be produced at BMW’s Dingolfing plant in Bavaria, while key electric-drive and engine components will come from BMW facilities in Austria and Germany.</p>
<p>The new BMW 3 Series therefore represents a broader transition for the nameplate, combining electric, mild-hybrid and future plug-in hybrid powertrains within the same family while moving the sedan towards BMW’s latest digital and electronic architecture.</p>

<p>Suzuki has disclosed specifications of a new 1.2-litre, three-cylinder direct-injection turbo-petrol engine prototype in Japan. The engine is being developed for markets such as India and is designed to operate on multiple fuel types, including petrol, E100 ethanol, compressed natural gas (CNG) and compressed biomethane gas (CBG).</p>
<p>The prototype is part of Suzuki’s broader powertrain development roadmap, outlined under its ‘Technology Strategy 2026: Looking 10 Years Ahead’ initiative. The company is targeting improved thermal efficiency while exploring different engine and electrification technologies.</p>
<p>Although Suzuki has not confirmed an India launch for the new engine, its development for growth markets could make it relevant to the company’s future Indian lineup.</p>
<p><strong>Suzuki 1.2-Litre Turbo-Petrol Engine: Specifications and Technology</strong></p>
<p>The new 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine is designed to produce up to 126 HP and 230 Nm of torque. According to a report by Japan’s MotorFan, the prototype is based on Suzuki’s Z12E three-cylinder engine, which is currently used in naturally aspirated form in models such as the Swift, Baleno and Dzire.</p>
<p>The turbocharged version reportedly features a variable-geometry turbocharger and a water-cooled intercooler. These components are intended to improve the engine’s performance and efficiency across different operating conditions.</p>
<p>Suzuki is targeting thermal efficiency of up to 40 percent at launch, with a longer-term goal of reaching 50 percent by 2035. These figures are development targets rather than independently verified real-world performance results.</p>
<p>The engine is also being developed for compatibility with E100, CNG and CBG, potentially allowing it to serve markets with different fuel infrastructure and energy requirements.</p>
<p><strong>Suzuki Z12E Series-Hybrid Powertrain: How It Works</strong></p>
<p>Alongside the turbocharged engine, Suzuki has showcased a series-hybrid powertrain based on the naturally aspirated 1.2-litre Z12E engine.</p>
<p>In this configuration, the petrol engine drives a generator to produce electricity, while a separate electric motor powers the wheels. The system also includes a battery pack with a capacity of 0.6kWh.</p>
<p>The engine is rated to produce up to 82hp and 108Nm, while the generator motor has a maximum output of 83hp. The electric drive motor produces up to 88hp.</p>
<p>Unlike a conventional hybrid system in which the engine can directly drive the wheels, a series-hybrid setup relies on the electric motor for propulsion. The engine primarily acts as an electricity generator.</p>
<p>Suzuki is also considering combining this series-hybrid arrangement with the new 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine for a potential plug-in hybrid application. The proposed system could deliver a combined output of up to 177hp, although the company has not announced a production timeline.</p>
<p><strong>Suzuki 1.5-Litre Turbo-Petrol Engine Under Development</strong></p>
<p>Suzuki has also revealed details of a larger 1.5-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine prototype. The engine is being developed to deliver up to 160 HP and 280 Nm of torque.</p>
<p>Like the smaller 1.2-litre unit, the 1.5-litre engine is being designed to support E100 ethanol, CNG and CBG.</p>
<p>The larger engine could potentially serve vehicles requiring higher power and torque, although Suzuki has not disclosed the models or markets in which it could be introduced.</p>
<p><strong>Suzuki Developing New 0.66-Litre Engine for Kei Cars</strong></p>
<p>Suzuki has also showcased a new 0.66-litre, three-cylinder engine intended for kei cars in Japan. The engine is being developed in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged configurations.</p>
<p>Kei cars are designed around Japan’s specific vehicle regulations, which include restrictions on engine displacement and vehicle dimensions. The smaller engine is therefore aimed primarily at this market.</p>
<p>Suzuki has not disclosed detailed performance figures or a production timeline for the new 0.66-litre engine.</p>
<p><strong>Will Suzuki’s New Turbo-Petrol Engine Come to India?</strong></p>
<p>The new 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine could potentially find applications in Suzuki’s Indian lineup, particularly in compact cars and sub-4-metre vehicles. However, the company has not confirmed an India launch or identified any specific models that could receive the powertrain.</p>
<p>The engines showcased so far are designed for transverse mounting in front-wheel-drive vehicles. Suzuki has not disclosed details of a corresponding powertrain for longitudinally mounted, rear-wheel-drive models such as the Jimny.</p>
<p>The company is understood to be developing powertrains for rear-wheel-drive applications as well, but further details have not been announced.</p>
<p>The new engine family, series-hybrid technology and alternative-fuel compatibility reflect Suzuki’s efforts to develop multiple powertrain solutions for different markets. Whether these technologies will make their way into production vehicles in India will depend on future product plans and market requirements.</p>

<p>Tata.ev has expanded its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) programme to cover its entire electric vehicle portfolio in India. The scheme, which was previously available on the Tiago.ev and Punch.ev, now includes the Nexon.ev, Curvv.ev, Sierra.ev and Harrier.ev.</p>
<p>Under the BaaS model, customers can finance the vehicle and its battery separately, reducing the initial amount required to purchase an electric car. The programme offers an alternative to conventional ownership, under which the customer purchases the vehicle along with its battery.</p>
<p>With the expansion, BaaS is available across Tata.ev’s electric car range, from the Tiago.ev to the Harrier.ev. The starting vehicle price under the scheme is Rs 4.69 lakh for the Tiago.ev, while the battery usage charges vary depending on the model and battery capacity.</p>
<p><strong>Tata.ev BaaS: How the Battery-as-a-Service Scheme Works</strong></p>
<p>The Battery-as-a-Service programme separates the financing of the electric vehicle from that of its battery. Customers opting for the scheme take separate loans for the vehicle and the battery, with repayment terms depending on the financing arrangement.</p>
<p>The battery-related cost is calculated on a per-kilometre basis, with charges varying across models. The final cost also depends on factors such as the battery capacity, down payment and loan tenure.</p>
<p>Customers can alternatively choose the conventional purchase option, which includes the battery in the vehicle’s price.</p>
<p>Tata.ev has partnered with multiple financial institutions to offer financing options under the programme. The company says the scheme is intended to provide an additional way to finance an electric vehicle without changing the overall ownership experience.</p>
<p><strong>Tata.ev BaaS Prices and Battery Usage Charges</strong></p>
<p>The BaaS programme covers six electric cars, with battery capacities ranging from 19kWh to 65kWh. The starting vehicle prices under the scheme are lower than the corresponding conventional purchase prices, while battery usage charges are billed separately.</p>
<p>Here is a breakdown of the prices and battery-related costs for each model.</p>

<p>All prices are starting prices. Battery usage charges are separate from the vehicle price. Actual financing terms and costs may vary depending on the applicable scheme and customer eligibility.</p>
<p><strong>Tata.ev BaaS: Models Covered Under the Programme</strong></p>
<p>The expanded scheme includes electric vehicles across different segments, from compact hatchbacks to larger SUVs.</p>
<p>Tata Tiago.ev: The entry-level electric hatchback is available with a 19kWh battery under the listed BaaS option.</p>
<p>Tata Punch.ev: The electric micro-SUV is offered with a 30kWh battery under the listed scheme.</p>
<p>Tata Nexon.ev: The electric SUV is included with a 45kWh battery option.</p>
<p>Tata Curvv.ev: The electric SUV-coupe is covered with a 55kWh battery.</p>
<p>Tata Sierra.ev: The electric SUV is listed with a 63kWh battery.</p>
<p>Tata Harrier.ev: The largest model in the listed range is available with a 65kWh battery option.</p>
<p>The battery usage charges range from Rs 2.6 per kilometre for the Tiago.ev, Punch.ev and Nexon.ev to Rs 5.5 per kilometre for the Harrier.ev.</p>
<p><strong>What the BaaS Expansion Means for Buyers</strong></p>
<p>The expansion gives customers an additional financing option across Tata.ev’s electric vehicle range. By separating the battery cost from the vehicle purchase, the programme reduces the initial vehicle payment compared with the listed conventional prices.</p>
<p>However, the lower upfront price needs to be considered alongside the recurring battery usage charges and the terms of the financing arrangement.</p>
<p>For buyers who cover higher annual distances, the per-kilometre battery cost could form a significant part of the overall ownership expense. Those driving fewer kilometres may have a different cost profile, depending on the financing terms and other expenses.</p>
<p>The conventional purchase option remains available for customers who prefer to buy the vehicle and battery together.</p>

<p>The Yamaha MT 15 V2 combines sporty performance with a compact design that still works for everyday riding. Its 155-cc engine, 6-speed gearbox, 141 kg kerb weight, and performance-focused hardware can suit riders who want an engaging motorcycle without taking on the weight of a larger machine.</p>
<p>Among <a href="https://www.bajajfinserv.in/bmall/bikes/yamaha" target="_blank">Yamaha bikes</a>, the MT 15 V2 stands out because its sporty character does not depend only on aggressive styling. Features such as Variable Valve Actuation, dual-channel ABS, traction control, and upside-down front forks influence how the motorcycle actually performs on the road.</p>
<p><strong>What gives the Yamaha MT 15 V2 its sporty character?</strong></p>
<p>The MT 15 V2 uses a 155-cc liquid-cooled, 4-valve engine producing 18.4 PS at 10,000 rpm and 14.1 Nm at 7,500 rpm. It works with a 6-speed gearbox and Variable Valve Actuation, or VVA. The useful part is how these specifications translate into riding.</p>
<p>VVA helps the engine deliver usable response across a wider rev range rather than concentrating performance at one point. This can make the motorcycle easier to ride through city traffic while still giving you stronger performance when the road opens up.</p>
<p>The 6-speed gearbox also provides more flexibility than a typical commuter setup. Lower gears suit traffic and frequent speed changes, while the additional ratio becomes useful once you move onto faster roads.</p>
<p>This makes the MT 15 V2 particularly relevant if your week combines regular commuting with more enjoyable weekend riding.</p>
<p><strong>Does its low weight help in everyday traffic?</strong></p>
<p>At 141 kg, the Yamaha MT 15 V2 remains relatively manageable for a performance-oriented 155 cc motorcycle. This bike comes with 810 mm seat height and 170 mm ground clearance.</p>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Specification</th>
<th>What it means for everyday riding</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>141 kg kerb weight</td>
<td>Helps during parking, slow turns, and congested traffic</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>810 mm seat height</td>
<td>Needs a test ride if confident footing is important</td>
</tr>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The light weight is especially useful when your daily route includes narrow lanes, crowded parking areas, or frequent U-turns.</p>
<p>The 810 mm seat height, however, may matter more than the weight for shorter riders. Sit on the motorcycle with your normal footwear and check whether you can place your feet down confidently.</p>
<p><strong>Which MT 15 V2 features actually matter while riding?</strong></p>
<p>The MT 15 V2 has plenty of technology, but the most useful features are those that improve control and everyday usability.</p>
<p><strong>Dual-channel ABS: </strong>Both wheels receive anti-lock braking support, helping maintain greater control during hard braking.</p>
<p><strong>Traction control: </strong>The system can reduce rear-wheel slip when available grip drops. This can be useful on wet or loose surfaces, although it does not replace careful riding.</p>
<p><strong>Upside-down front forks: </strong>These are designed to improve front-end response and handling. Riders may notice the benefit while changing direction or braking rather than during steady straight-line riding.</p>
<p><strong>Assist and slipper clutch:</strong> It can reduce clutch effort and help make aggressive downshifts smoother.</p>
<p><strong>Y-Connect and navigation:</strong> Select versions add smartphone connectivity, while the colour TFT-equipped versions can provide turn-by-turn navigation. These features are most useful if you regularly travel through unfamiliar parts of the city.</p>
<p>The MT 15 V2 therefore offers more than cosmetic sportiness. Much of its equipment is connected directly to riding and control.</p>
<p><strong>Standard or Deluxe: What should you pay extra for?</strong></p>
<p>The MT 15 V2 is available in Standard and Deluxe versions. The core engine, chassis, dual-channel ABS, and traction control remain central to the range, so the decision mainly comes down to additional technology, colours, and equipment.</p>
<p>The Standard version already provides most of the motorcycle’s performance-focused hardware. The Deluxe version becomes more relevant if you value features such as connected instrumentation, premium colour choices, and additional visual details. Select versions also get the colour TFT display with turn-by-turn navigation.</p>
<p>Do not assume that the highest version will automatically improve your riding experience. If the engine, handling, braking, and basic instrumentation are your priorities, the Standard version may already cover most of what you need.</p>
<p><strong>How much does the Yamaha MT 15 V2 cost?</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.bajajfinserv.in/bmall/bikes/yamaha-mt-15" target="_blank">Yamaha MT 15 V2</a> starts at around Rs. 1.66 lakh ex-showroom in Delhi, with higher versions reaching approximately Rs. 1.76 lakh. Your final on-road price will be higher after registration, insurance, and other applicable charges.</p>
<p>The price difference between versions is worth considering alongside the features you will use. Paying more for connected technology or a preferred colour can make sense if those elements matter to you, but they do not fundamentally change the motorcycle’s 155 cc performance.</p>
<p><strong>What compromises should you know before buying?</strong></p>
<p>The same design choices that make the MT 15 V2 sporty can create compromises for some riders. The 10-litre fuel tank is relatively compact. This is unlikely to be a major issue for city use, but riders covering long distances frequently may need to refuel more often.</p>
<p>The pillion area also deserves attention if you regularly carry another adult. A sporty, compact rear section may not provide the same level of long-distance pillion comfort as a motorcycle designed primarily around relaxed commuting.</p>
<p>The 810 mm seat height is another factor. Taller riders may find it natural, while shorter riders should assess footing carefully.</p>
<p>These are not necessarily drawbacks for every buyer. They simply show why your riding pattern matters more than the feature list.</p>
<p><strong>What should you check during a test ride?</strong></p>
<p>A test ride should include more than a quick acceleration run.<br />
Pay attention to:</p>
<p>– low-speed balance in traffic<br />
– how confidently your feet reach the ground<br />
– clutch effort during repeated stops<br />
– engine response at low and higher revs<br />
– braking feel<br />
– suspension over uneven roads<br />
– seat comfort after 20–30 minutes<br />
– pillion space if you regularly ride two-up<br />
– ease of pushing the motorcycle while parking</p>
<p>The MT 15 V2’s combination of light weight and sporty performance is one of its main attractions but your height, commute and comfort expectations will determine whether that combination works for you.</p>
<p><strong>Where can financing fit?</strong></p>
<p>If the MT 15 V2 suits your riding needs but you prefer not to pay its full on-road price upfront, a Bajaj Finance Two-wheeler Loan offers loan amounts from Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 21 lakh, with repayment tenures from 6 to 84 months. Eligible customers can get financing of up to 100%* of the bike’s on-road price, subject to eligibility and applicable terms.</p>
<p>Decide how much you can comfortably contribute upfront before choosing the loan amount and tenure. A longer tenure can lower the monthly instalment but may increase the overall interest paid.</p>
<p><strong>Why does the Yamaha MT 15 V2 stand out?</strong></p>
<p>The Yamaha MT 15 V2 stands out by combining a 155 cc VVA engine, 6-speed gearbox, 141 kg kerb weight, dual-channel ABS, traction control and performance-focused suspension in a motorcycle that can still handle regular city use.</p>
<p>That balance is the key reason it attracts riders looking beyond a conventional commuter. It has enough performance and chassis technology to make weekend riding engaging, while its relatively low weight helps keep everyday traffic and parking manageable.</p>
<p>Among Yamaha bikes, the MT 15 V2 is therefore worth considering if you want sporty performance without giving up the practicality needed for regular use. The final decision should come down to whether its seat height, pillion space, fuel capacity, price, and riding character fit the journeys you actually make.</p>

<p>Honda Cars India is reportedly exploring a partnership with Horse Powertrain to source a 1.2-litre engine for an upcoming compact SUV. The proposed powertrain could be offered in petrol, hybrid and CNG configurations, allowing the automaker to expand its engine options without developing an entirely new engine family in-house.</p>
<p>According to a report, discussions between the two companies are underway, although Honda has not confirmed the arrangement or disclosed details of the proposed vehicle.</p>
<p>The potential partnership comes as Honda looks to strengthen its presence in India’s price-sensitive compact SUV segment while addressing tighter emission regulations, fuel-efficiency requirements and demand for alternative fuel options.</p>
<p><strong>Honda Compact SUV: Expected Engine and Powertrain Options</strong></p>
<p>The proposed 1.2-litre engine is expected to be sourced from Horse Powertrain, a joint venture between Renault Group and Geely, with Saudi Aramco as a shareholder. The company specialises in internal combustion engines and hybrid powertrain technologies.</p>
<p>Horse Powertrain already has a presence in India through its involvement in the upcoming hybrid version of the Renault Duster, which is scheduled to launch on October 17. That model will use a 1.8-litre hybrid powertrain supplied by the company.</p>
<p>For Honda, sourcing an engine from an external supplier could provide access to multiple fuel configurations, including petrol, hybrid and CNG options. Developing these technologies independently could involve significant engineering and investment costs, particularly in the compact SUV segment.</p>
<p>Horse Powertrain is also understood to be considering a local manufacturing facility in India. Greater localisation could help reduce production costs and make its powertrains more competitive for domestic automakers.</p>
<p><strong>Honda Compact SUV: Expected Price and Production Timeline</strong></p>
<p>The upcoming Honda compact SUV is reportedly being evaluated on an existing platform used by the company in Indonesia.</p>
<p>According to the report, the project is being considered with a target price range of Rs. 9 lakhs to Rs. 12 lakhs. Production is tentatively expected to begin in October 2028.</p>
<p>These figures are project targets and have not been officially confirmed by Honda. Details regarding the SUV’s design, specifications, variant lineup and launch timeline remain undisclosed.</p>
<p>If introduced, the new model would expand Honda’s presence in the compact SUV segment, where pricing and running costs remain important considerations for buyers.</p>
<p><strong>Honda’s New Product Development Strategy</strong></p>
<p>The reported engine discussions form part of a broader change in Honda’s approach to vehicle development in India. The company is looking to work more closely with external engineering and technology partners to reduce development time and improve cost efficiency.</p>
<p>Tata Technologies is reportedly being considered for vehicle design and engineering work, while TCS is expected to contribute to infotainment development.</p>
<p>Under the proposed approach, different aspects of vehicle development, including design, testing and supplier preparation, would progress simultaneously rather than sequentially.</p>
<p>Honda is targeting a reduction in the development cycle for a full model change from approximately 49 months to around 30 months. This is a broader development objective and not a confirmed timeline for the upcoming compact SUV.</p>
<p>The company is also looking to develop products around the requirements of Indian customers from the beginning, rather than adapting vehicles designed primarily for other markets.</p>
<p>Honda would continue to oversee overall vehicle performance targets and final validation, while external partners could take on a larger role in engineering, testing and supplier management.</p>
<p><strong>Honda’s Response to the Report</strong></p>
<p>Honda Cars India has not confirmed the reported engine sourcing discussions or the involvement of specific development partners.</p>
<p>In a statement a company spokesperson said Honda works with a broad network of technology, engineering and supplier partners but does not comment on individual partnerships, sourcing discussions or future powertrain programmes.</p>
<p>The company also highlighted its focus on strengthening product development capabilities in India, with an emphasis on products tailored to domestic customers and greater use of the country’s engineering resources.</p>
<p><strong>Honda Reportedly Drops PF2 Platform Project</strong></p>
<p>Separately, Honda is understood to have discontinued the PF2 platform project, which had reportedly been planned as the foundation for the next-generation City sedan and Elevate SUV.</p>
<p>The reported decision leaves questions about the platforms that will underpin future generations of these two models. However, Honda has not confirmed the status of the PF2 project or disclosed its future platform strategy.</p>
<p>The company has stated that the City and Elevate will continue to remain important products in its India portfolio. Details regarding their successors, including their platforms and powertrain options, are expected to be announced at a later date.</p>
<p>Honda has also not disclosed which architecture it plans to use for future electric vehicles intended for India. The company has indicated that India will play a growing role in its global manufacturing and engineering operations, with future products expected to combine global electrification technologies with local development capabilities.</p>
<p><strong>What This Means for Honda in India</strong></p>
<p>The reported partnership with Horse Powertrain could allow Honda to expand its powertrain portfolio while reducing the need for independent development of multiple engine configurations.</p>
<p>A locally sourced engine family with petrol, hybrid and CNG options could provide flexibility in addressing different customer requirements and regulatory standards.</p>
<p>However, the proposed compact SUV remains under evaluation, and Honda has not officially confirmed its specifications, pricing or production schedule. The company’s future platform strategy and the next generations of the City and Elevate also remain unclear.</p>

<p>Skoda Auto India is set to launch the updated Slavia sedan on October 6, 2026. The facelift marks the first major update for the midsize sedan since its introduction in India around four years ago. Production of the refreshed model has commenced at the company’s Chakan facility in Pune, Maharashtra.</p>
<p>Pre-bookings for the 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift are currently open, with a booking amount of Rs. 15,000. The updated sedan is expected to receive exterior styling revisions, additional features and a new automatic transmission option for the 1.0-litre TSI engine.</p>
<p><strong>Skoda Slavia Facelift: Engine and Transmission Details</strong></p>
<p>The 2026 Skoda Slavia facelift is expected to retain its existing turbo-petrol engine options, with changes primarily focused on the transmission paired with the 1.0-litre TSI unit.</p>
<p>The 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine produces 114 BHP and 178 Nm of torque. It is expected to continue with the existing 6-speed manual gearbox, while the current 6-speed automatic transmission is set to be replaced by a new 8-speed torque converter automatic.</p>
<p>The new automatic gearbox is expected to be the Aisin AQ300 unit, which has also been introduced in the updated Skoda Kushaq.</p>
<p>The 1.5-litre, four-cylinder TSI turbo-petrol engine, which produces 148 BHP and 250 Nm of torque, is expected to continue with the 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. The 6-speed manual option was discontinued in 2024 and is not expected to return with the facelift.</p>
<p><strong>Skoda Slavia Facelift: Design and Feature Updates</strong></p>
<p>The refreshed Slavia is expected to receive styling revisions along with additional equipment. Some of the feature additions are likely to be shared with the updated Skoda Kushaq, which is based on the same platform.</p>
<p>One of the key additions is expected to be a 360-degree camera system, which will provide a view around the vehicle to assist with parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces.</p>
<p>The sedan is also expected to receive a rear-seat massage function, adding a comfort-oriented feature for rear passengers.</p>
<p>Another addition could be an AI-powered companion developed in collaboration with Google Cloud. Details regarding its functionality and availability across variants have not yet been specified in the supplied information.</p>
<p><strong>Skoda Slavia Facelift: What to Expect</strong></p>
<p>The facelift will introduce updates to the Slavia’s equipment and transmission lineup while retaining its existing petrol engine options.</p>
<p>The introduction of an 8-speed automatic gearbox for the 1.0-litre TSI variant is expected to be one of the key mechanical changes. The 1.5-litre TSI version is likely to continue with the 7-speed DSG.</p>
<p>Further details regarding variant-wise features, pricing and specifications are expected to be announced at the launch on October 6.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="max-width:1024px;" decoding="async" src="https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2026-Renault-Duster.jpg" alt="2026 Renault Duster" width="1024" height="678" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-323077" srcset="https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2026-Renault-Duster.jpg 1024w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2026-Renault-Duster-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2026-Renault-Duster-655x435.jpg 655w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2026-Renault-Duster-210x139.jpg 210w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2026-Renault-Duster-150x99.jpg 150w" sizes="100vw" /></p>
<p>Renault is set to introduce the strong hybrid version of the Duster in India on October 17. The new powertrain will join the SUV’s existing 1.0-litre and 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engine options, expanding its lineup with a petrol-electric hybrid system.</p>
<p>The upcoming Duster hybrid will use Renault’s E-Tech technology, which combines a petrol engine with two electric motors and a battery pack. The company says the system draws on its experience in Formula 1.</p>
<p>With the addition of the hybrid powertrain, the Duster will enter a segment that already includes strong hybrid versions of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Maruti Suzuki Victoris and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder.</p>
<p><strong>Renault Duster Hybrid Powertrain Details</strong></p>
<p>The Renault Duster strong hybrid will feature a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of 1789cc. The engine works alongside two electric motors, one producing 20 HP and functioning as a generator, while the other delivers 49hp and drives the wheels.</p>
<p>The hybrid system has a combined output of 160 HP and 172 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 1.4kWh battery pack and a multi-mode automatic transmission.</p>
<p>Unlike the hybrid systems used in the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Victoris, Renault’s E-Tech setup uses a transmission with fixed gear ratios. The system can switch between electric drive, petrol-engine power and a combination of both, depending on driving conditions.</p>
<p>Toyota’s strong hybrid system, by comparison, uses an e-CVT with a power-split mechanism. The difference in transmission design means the Duster hybrid may offer a more conventional automatic driving experience, with noticeable changes in engine speed and gear engagement.</p>
<p><strong>Renault Duster Hybrid: Expected Fuel Efficiency</strong></p>
<p>The Duster’s strong hybrid system is designed to improve efficiency by allowing electric-only driving at lower speeds, recovering energy through regenerative braking and switching off the petrol engine when conditions permit.</p>
<p>Renault claims that up to 80 percent of city driving can be completed in electric mode. However, this figure is a manufacturer claim, and actual fuel efficiency will depend on factors such as traffic conditions, driving style, ambient temperature and road speed.</p>
<p>The 1.4kWh battery is larger than the 0.60kWh battery used in the Toyota Hyryder’s strong hybrid system. However, battery capacity alone does not determine overall fuel efficiency, as the performance of the engine, electric motors and energy management system also plays a role.</p>
<p>Renault has not provided real-world fuel economy figures for the Indian-spec Duster hybrid in the supplied information.</p>
<p><strong>Renault Duster Hybrid: Rivals and Market Positioning</strong></p>
<p>The introduction of the strong hybrid powertrain will expand the Duster’s appeal to buyers looking for an alternative to conventional petrol-powered midsize SUVs.</p>
<p>The SUV will compete with the strong hybrid variants of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Maruti Suzuki Victoris and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder. These models already offer petrol-electric powertrains in the midsize SUV segment.</p>
<p>The hybrid option could also address the absence of a diesel engine in the new Duster lineup by offering an alternative focused on fuel efficiency, particularly in urban driving conditions.</p>
<p>Pricing, fuel efficiency figures and other India-specific details will be important factors in determining how the hybrid variant is positioned against its rivals.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="max-width:1024px;" decoding="async" src="https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Renault-Triber-Turbo.jpg" alt="Renault Triber Turbo" width="1024" height="576" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-326424" srcset="https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Renault-Triber-Turbo.jpg 1024w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Renault-Triber-Turbo-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Renault-Triber-Turbo-655x368.jpg 655w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Renault-Triber-Turbo-210x118.jpg 210w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Renault-Triber-Turbo-150x84.jpg 150w" sizes="100vw" /></p>
<p>Renault has expanded the Triber lineup in India with the introduction of the new Triber Turbo, which is priced between Rs. 7.84 lakhs and Rs. 8.99 lakhs (ex-showroom). The new version features a turbocharged petrol engine, offering higher torque than the naturally aspirated model.</p>
<p>The Triber Turbo is available in two variants: Evolution Turbo and Techno Turbo, along with the range-topping Emotion Turbo. Prices for the turbo-petrol version are between Rs. 94,000 and Rs. 1.11 lakhs higher than those of the corresponding naturally aspirated variants.</p>
<p><strong>Renault Triber Turbo Engine and Performance</strong></p>
<p>The Renault Triber Turbo is powered by a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, internally referred to as HR10. The same engine family is used in the Renault Kiger and Duster 1.0-litre SUVs.</p>
<p>In the Triber Turbo, the engine produces 100 HP and 180 Nm of torque. While the power output remains identical to that of the Kiger and Duster, the Triber receives a revised engine management system that allows it to deliver higher torque.</p>
<p>Renault claims the Triber Turbo can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hr in 10.8 seconds. At launch, the engine is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. An automatic transmission option is expected to be introduced at a later stage.</p>
<p><strong>Renault Triber Turbo Exterior Design</strong></p>
<p>The Renault Triber Turbo retains the exterior styling of the standard petrol-powered model, with no major visual changes. The front features a gloss-black grille carrying Renault’s updated logo, along with LED headlamps and LED daytime running lights.</p>
<p>The front bumper incorporates a large air dam with a silver surround, while fog lamps are positioned at the outer edges. The side profile features 15-inch wheels with dual-tone covers, roof rails, and gloss-black door handles and ORVMs.</p>
<p>At the rear, the MPV gets clear-lens LED tail-lamps connected by a gloss-black trim element. A ‘Turbo’ badge on the tailgate distinguishes the new version from the naturally aspirated model.</p>
<p><strong>Renault Triber Turbo Interior and Features</strong></p>
<p>The Triber Turbo retains the standard model’s seven-seat layout and feature list. The cabin comes equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster.</p>
<p>Other features include a wireless phone charger, automatic climate control, a separate rear blower control, a cooled centre storage compartment, automatic headlamps and wipers, a rear washer and wiper, cruise control, and push-button start/stop.</p>
<p>Renault claims the Triber offers 625 litres of boot space with the third row folded, making it suitable for carrying luggage when the rear seats are not in use.</p>
<p><strong>Renault Triber Turbo Safety Features</strong></p>
<p>The Renault Triber Turbo comes equipped with six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (ESC), traction control, hill-start assist, Isofix child-seat mounts, and a tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS).</p>
<p>Renault has also recalibrated the ABS, ESC and traction control systems for the turbo-petrol version. The standard Triber has previously received a four-star safety rating in Global NCAP crash tests.</p>
<p><strong>Renault Triber Turbo: Competition and Positioning</strong></p>
<p>The Renault Triber continues to occupy a relatively niche position in India’s compact MPV segment, offering a seven-seat configuration in a compact footprint. The introduction of a turbo-petrol engine adds a more powerful option to the lineup, although buyers will have to pay a premium over the naturally aspirated versions.</p>
<p>The Nissan Gravite is another model in this segment. Whether Nissan will introduce a turbo-petrol powertrain for the Gravite remains unclear.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Tata-Aeris-Price.png"><img style="max-width:734px;" decoding="async" src="https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Tata-Aeris-Price.png" alt="Tata Aeris Price" width="734" height="236" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-326413" srcset="https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Tata-Aeris-Price.png 734w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Tata-Aeris-Price-300x96.png 300w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Tata-Aeris-Price-655x211.png 655w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Tata-Aeris-Price-210x68.png 210w, https://dvps8uz7lyvra.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/Tata-Aeris-Price-150x48.png 150w" sizes="100vw" /></a></p>
<p>Tata has launched the all-new Aeris, a compact sedan aimed specifically at private car buyers. Prices start at Rs 5.29 lakh for the petrol version and Rs 6.29 lakh for the iCNG version, ex-showroom Delhi.</p>
<p>The Aeris is interesting because Tata is not positioning it as a car for both private buyers and fleet operators. The company says the sedan has been designed exclusively for personal and family use.</p>
<p>This is a slightly different approach in a segment where compact sedans have traditionally had to serve both private customers and fleet operators. According to Tata, personal buyers account for nearly 65% of the compact sedan segment, but have largely had to choose cars that also cater to fleet requirements. The company says fleet customers will continue to be addressed through the Xpres-T brand, while the Aeris will remain focused on private buyers. This gives the new sedan its own design, features and positioning.</p>
<p>Its design gets a wide and planted stance, LED headlamps and DRLs, a wide lower grille and diamond-cut aero alloy wheels. At the rear, the sedan gets connected LED tail lamps, while a prominent deck lid gives it a more distinctive profile. There is also a dual-tone black roof, textured wheel-arch cladding and chrome-line door handles, giving the Aeris a more contemporary look.</p>
<p>Inside, Tata has focused on making the cabin feel more premium. The Aeris gets ventilated leatherette seats, a dual-screen layout, a 26.03cm HD touchscreen infotainment system and a 12.7cm digital instrument cluster. It also gets features such as wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging, automatic climate control, rear AC vents and 65W Type-C fast chargers. The 419-litre boot also makes it practical enough for everyday family use.</p>
<p>The Aeris gets Tata’s iRA connected car technology with more than 35 connected features. A dual smartphone deck with wireless charging is another feature aimed at making the cabin more convenient for daily use. The Aeris comes with six airbags as standard, along with Electronic Stability Program, ABS with EBD and CSC, Hill Hold Control and ISOFIX mounts. The car also gets a 360-degree HD camera with 2D and 3D views, a Blind View Monitor and a MultiView Digital Video Recorder. Other features include automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and a rear defogger.</p>
<p>The iCNG versions also get additional safety measures, including leak detection, leak-proof materials, thermal incident protection and rear crash protection.</p>
<p>The Aeris is available with both petrol and CNG powertrains, giving buyers more flexibility. The petrol version uses a 1.2-litre Revotron engine and is offered with a 5-speed manual as well as an AMT. The CNG version is available with both manual and AMT options. The iCNG AMT is particularly notable, as it combines the running-cost benefits of CNG with the convenience of an automatic gearbox. Tata has also used twin-cylinder iCNG technology, which helps package the CNG system while retaining usable boot space.</p>
<p>The Aeris is available in five trims – Smart, Pure, Pure+, Creative and Accomplished.</p>
<p>Petrol prices start at Rs 5.29 lakh and go up to Rs 8.19 lakh for the manual, while the AMT ranges from Rs 6.69 lakh to Rs 8.74 lakh.</p>
<p>The CNG range starts at Rs 6.29 lakh for the manual and goes up to Rs 9.19 lakh. The CNG AMT is priced between Rs 7.69 lakh and Rs 9.74 lakh.</p>

<p>Tata Motors is all set to launch the new Aeris on September 25, and ahead of the launch, the car has been spotted completely undisguised. The car seen here is the iCNG version with a 5-speed manual gearbox, giving us a clear look at the production-spec model.</p>
<p>The Aeris is essentially the next-generation version of the Tata Tigor, but Tata has given it a new name, a heavily updated design and a more modern cabin. The company is expected to continue with the Tigor’s petrol and CNG powertrains, while an electric version remains uncertain for now. </p>
<p>The biggest change is the design. Up front, the Aeris gets slim LED headlamps connected by a black strip, along with a Tata logo in the centre. The bumper is completely new and gets C-shaped elements and a wide lower air intake. The car also gets new alloy wheels and pull-type door handles.</p>
<p>The rear gets an even bigger makeover. The tail-lamps stretch across the boot and give the Aeris a wider look. The Tata logo sits in the centre, while the new Aeris lettering is placed below it. The number plate has been moved to the bumper and the rear bumper gets vertical reflectors.</p>
<p>The spotted car is the iCNG version, which gets an iCNG badge on the boot. The CNG system is expected to be similar to the one used in the Tigor. The outgoing Tigor iCNG uses a 1.2-litre three-cylinder naturally aspirated engine producing 76 PS and 97 Nm in CNG mode. It comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox, while Tata also offers an AMT option on the Tigor CNG.</p>
<p>The petrol version is expected to continue using the same 1.2-litre petrol engine. In the Tigor, this engine produces 86 PS and 113 Nm and is available with both a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT. The Aeris is expected to carry forward these options with minor changes, if any.</p>
<p>Inside, the Aeris gets a much more modern cabin compared to the Tigor. The dashboard seen in the leaked images has a two-tone finish, a free-standing touchscreen and a digital instrument cluster. The centre console gets three rotary controls for the air-conditioning along with physical buttons, while the manual version gets a conventional gear lever.</p>
<p>The cabin appears to borrow quite a few elements from the updated Tata Tiago. Higher variants are expected to get features such as a larger touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, wireless charging and a 360-degree camera. Six airbags and electronic stability control are also expected.</p>
<p>The Aeris will continue to be a sub-4-metre sedan and will take on the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, Hyundai Aura and Honda Amaze. It will also replace the Tigor in Tata’s line-up.</p>

<p>Mercedes-Benz has launched the new AMG G 63 Offroad PRO in India, priced at Rs 3.80 crore (ex-showroom). It is a more rugged version of the G 63 and comes with several upgrades aimed at improving its off-road ability. The SUV will be available in limited numbers.</p>
<p>The G 63 Offroad PRO keeps the familiar boxy G-Class design but gets a more aggressive front bumper, flared wheel arches and new off-road-focused equipment. It also gets a special roof luggage rack with aluminium panels and a removable rear ladder, making it easier to carry luggage and adventure equipment.</p>
<p>The biggest upgrade is the AMG ACTIVE RIDE CONTROL suspension. It has been designed to improve stability and wheel movement when driving over rough and uneven terrain. The SUV also gets AMG Traction PRO and AMG Active Balance Control modes.</p>
<p>AMG Traction PRO is designed for difficult surfaces such as sand and rocks. It can control braking at each wheel individually to help the G 63 find traction when stuck. The Active Balance Control system allows the driver to adjust the suspension according to the terrain. The SUV gets exclusive 20-inch AMG alloy wheels finished in matte black, wrapped in 275/50 R20 tyres.</p>
<p>Power comes from a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo petrol engine with a 48V mild-hybrid system. It produces 585 hp and 850 Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through AMG Performance 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The G 63 Offroad PRO can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 240 km/h.</p>
<p>Inside, it remains as luxurious as any other G 63. The cabin gets Nappa leather upholstery, premium materials and ambient lighting. There is also a 12.3-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, USB-C connectivity and augmented-reality navigation.</p>
<p>The SUV also gets a dedicated off-road display that shows information such as the vehicle’s position, compass, altitude, steering angle, tyre pressure and temperature. A Transparent Hood function is also available to help the driver when tackling difficult terrain. Other features include a Burmester 3D surround sound system, active brake assist, lane-keeping assist and a 360-degree camera.</p>

<p>Hyundai has opened bookings for its upcoming Bayon SUV in India. The new Hyundai Bayon is being positioned as an “Intelligent Utility Vehicle” and will focus heavily on technology, safety, comfort and a futuristic design.</p>
<p>Bookings for the Hyundai Bayon have started at an initial amount of Rs 11,000. Customers can book the SUV through Hyundai’s official website or by visiting their nearest Hyundai dealership. The SUV is expected to launch in India during the upcoming festive season, while the exact launch date and prices have not been announced yet. </p>
<p>The Hyundai Bayon measures around 4.2 metres in length, placing it in the mid-size SUV space. Hyundai says the SUV has been designed to offer a strong road presence while making good use of its interior space. The company claims the Bayon will offer good legroom, headroom and shoulder room for occupants. </p>
<p>The design is one of the major highlights of the Bayon. It gets a sculpted bonnet, a futuristic front fascia and Hyundai’s signature H-Edge LED DRLs. The SUV also features geometric wheel arches, wrap-around door cladding and bridge-type roof rails. Hyundai says the overall design has been created to give the Bayon a wide and dynamic stance. </p>
<p>One of the biggest talking points will be the technology on offer. The Hyundai Bayon gets an in-built generative AI voice assistant, which is designed to allow more natural interaction between the driver and the vehicle. Hyundai is positioning this feature as a key part of the SUV’s connected and intelligent driving experience. </p>
<p>Safety is another major focus. The Bayon is built on Hyundai’s Global K Enhanced Platform, which the company says has been engineered for 5-star Indian safety standards based on its internal assessment. Hyundai also highlights structural rigidity, occupant protection and advanced safety technology as key areas of the SUV. </p>
<p>Under the bonnet, the Hyundai Bayon will be offered with a petrol powertrain. It will be available with both a manual transmission and Hyundai’s Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). Hyundai says the powertrain has been tuned to offer a refined, responsive and fuel-efficient driving experience for both city and highway use. </p>
<p>Hyundai is building the Bayon around five key areas: Intelligence, Safety, Comfort, Performance and Style. The company believes this combination will make the SUV suitable for modern Indian buyers looking for more technology and convenience in their everyday vehicle. </p>
<p>The Hyundai Bayon will be launched in India this festive season. Prices, detailed variants, engine specifications and the delivery timeline are expected to be announced closer to the launch. For now, bookings are open for Rs 11,000. </p>
