Toyota has confirmed that the ninth-generation Hilux will launch in India on July 28, 2026, and it arrives with a clear ambition: to shed its image as an expensive, sparsely-featured niche pickup and reposition itself as a premium lifestyle adventure vehicle that urban buyers might cross-shop against SUVs. The redesign, the upgraded cabin, and the … Read more
Ather Energy has quietly made a significant change to its Rizta family scooter: some units now ship with LFP battery cells instead of the NMC chemistry the brand has always used, and buyers can’t choose which one they get. Understandably, that’s caused some worry among customers who fear they’ve received an “inferior” pack. The reality … Read more
Kia India has announced that its Carens family has crossed 3 lakh cumulative sales since 2022, and while the round number makes the headline, the genuinely useful information is buried in the powertrain breakdown: 60% of those sales were petrol, 30% diesel, and 10% electric. That single data point is a clearer window into how … Read more
Renault has launched the Duster Adventure Edition in India at ₹12.99 lakh (ex-showroom), and it does something genuinely unusual for a special edition: it costs less than the standard variant it’s based on, not more. Reports indicate it’s priced roughly ₹40,000-50,000 below the equivalent regular trim despite adding exclusive styling — which flips the usual … Read more
A production-ready Hero Karizma XMR 250 has been spotted completely undisguised at what appears to be a dealership, and the location matters as much as the motorcycle: dealer familiarisation and technician training typically happen only weeks before customer deliveries begin. So a launch looks imminent. But the more interesting question isn’t when the XMR 250 … Read more
Fresh spy shots of the JSW-Chery Jaecoo J5 testing in India show something more significant than just another camouflaged SUV: earlier prototypes were electric-only, but the latest sightings point to petrol and strong-hybrid versions now under consideration. That shift from an EV-only plan to a multi-powertrain approach is the actual news here, and it tells … Read more
Xiaomi has debuted the SkyNomad N90, a full-size SUV whose front seats swivel 180 degrees to face the second row, whose cabin converts into a lounge, meeting room, or sleeping space, and — most tellingly — whose powertrain is a range-extender hybrid rather than the pure electric setup Xiaomi built its automotive reputation on. Both … Read more
Chery and Jaguar Land Rover have revealed the production interior of the Freelander 8 — a full-size luxury EREV SUV with a 46.3-inch panoramic display, Huawei’s most advanced driver-assistance system, and a lounge-style cabin — but the specifications, impressive as they are, aren’t the most interesting thing about this car. The genuinely notable story is … Read more
The Government of India is investing ₹200 crore in Ather Energy through the India-Japan Fund, and while that figure is small next to Hero MotoCorp’s ₹960 crore commitment in the same round, the sum matters far less than the signal. When a sovereign-backed investment vehicle enters the cap table of a listed electric two-wheeler company, … Read more
Maruti Suzuki has teased the 2026 Brezza and opened bookings at ₹11,000 ahead of a July 24 launch, marking the first major update for India’s highest-selling compact SUV since the second generation arrived in 2022. The central question isn’t whether the Brezza will sell — it will — but whether a mid-cycle facelift is enough … Read more
