    Mahindra BE.05 EV Interiors Spied – Electrifying Acceleration On Ghats (Video)

    Mahindra BE.05 EV Interiors SpiedAmong the five INGLO-based SUVs showcased, Mahindra BE.05 EV is likely to be the most popular owing to its expected size and pricingStrategies for Mahindra’s electric vision have been unfolded in the past couple of years. The Indian auto giant is launching five new electric SUVs based on its born electric INGLO platform. Most affordable of these five is BE.05 which is poised to be the most flamboyant compact electric SUV in India or even the world.Mahindra BE.05 Production Interiors SpiedFor the first time ever, we got a sneak peek at the upcoming Mahindra BE.05’s interiors thanks to automotive enthusiast Amanjot Singh Dua. Mahindra is currently testing BE.05 along with XUV.e8 and XUV.e9 for varied altitudes, temperatures and terrains. So, test mules have been spotted in both deserts as Himalayan mountains.Mahindra BE.05 EV Interiors SpiedWhile there have been innumerous sightings of BE.05’s exteriors, this is the first time production-spec interiors have been leaked. We can see a lot of similarities with Mahindra BE.05 concept showcased at M.A.D.E headquarters in UK. At the event, Mahindra promised most design highlights to be carried over to production model.The company is staying true to its word. Overall layout of BE.05’s interiors looks very similar to its concept. A pronounced split with Bronze finish between driver and passenger lends a cockpit-like feel. Design elements like the twin-spoke hexagonal steering wheel along with a vertical bronze strip at the top and touch and toggle steering controls stay true to its concept.Mahindra BE.05 EV Interiors SpiedIn the centre console, dial from the concept is retained. It might control terrain modes or drive modes. There might be a yacht-like dedicated gear selector and electronic parking brake in this area too. We can also see three digital sliders that could be used to control volume or interior lighting brightness or sunshade or sunroof.Mahindra BE.05 EV Interiors SpiedCar’s interiors were riddled with testing equipment, wires, hose pipes and whatnot. Another notable element we can grasp from BE.05’s interior is frameless IRVM that we saw with newly launched XUV 3XO and white leatherette upholstery with perforations that are likely to have ventilation function.Altitude testing and overtaking in Leh LadakhBE.05 is currently under altitude testing too and has been spotted trundling along the highway between Leh and Kargil. Thanks to automotive enthusiast Lakshmi Prasad, we have a glimpse of Mahindra BE.05’s instant and electrifying acceleration as it overtook a truck in the twisties.[embedded content]There is a good possibility of it being the higher-spec dual motor AWD variant. Battery capacity could be around 60 kWh+ and will feature a single-motor version as well. When launched, it will rival the likes of MG ZS EV, Hyundai Creta EV, Maruti Suzuki eVX and its arch-rival is the upcoming coupe-styled Tata Curvv EV.BE.05 is likely to be the volume generator (among INGLO-based EVs) for Mahindra owing to its sheer design and segment positioning. It is the smallest among all XUV.e and BE vehicles showcased and will appeal to masses. It has wild written all over its design and looks futuristic and aggressive with a massive road presence. More

    2025 Kia EV6 Facelift Debuts – Bigger Battery, Sharper Design, India-Bound

    2025 Kia EV6 Facelift DebutsThe new 2025 Kia EV6 facelift brings iterative updates in design, powertrain and equipment, while packing a bigger batteryKia’s critically acclaimed EV6 has been detrimental in establishing the brand as a high-performance electric car manufacturer for enthusiasts. We have to note that EV6 is Kia’s foray into electric mobility solutions and is a big deal. So, the 2025 Kia EV6 facelift debuts ahead of launch, is an important launch for the brand. Let’s take a look.2025 Kia EV6 Facelift DebutsIf there was one vehicle that put Kia on the global electric vehicle map, it has to be EV6. Offered in RWD and AWD along with a high-performance GT trim, Kia EV6 has managed to appeal to both sensible buyers and thrill-seekers alike. The car’s sleek and crossover design is well-received and is eye-candy.2025 Kia EV6 GT-LineThe new MY25 Kia EV6 builds on these attributes and emerges as a fitting replacement to an iconic vehicle that started Kia’s electric mobility journey. However, this is a mild mid-life journey and the design changes are more evolutionary than revolutionary.Most prominent of these design changes include a refreshed fascia. The eyebrow-like LED DRLs of current model have been replaced with much sleeker and stylistic C-shaped elements that lend a sporty aura. Base EV6 Air and mid-spec EV6 GT-Line feature slight design differences for distinction.[embedded content]Where Air gets a Tiger Nose grill, GT-Line gets a connecting LED bar in the middle. Starmap adaptive LED headlights are now sleeker and blend in well with overall design of both trims. GT-Line gets a slightly more sportier front bumper, for added aggression. Air gets a choice of 19-inch and 20-inch alloy wheels, while GT-Line gets unique 20-inch alloy wheel designs.At the rear, there are hardly any changes with a few nip and tuck measures here and there. Where the rear bumper on EV6 Air looks a little sober, GT-Line spruces things up quite nicely. We should expect more aggression with top-spec GT trim whenever it breaks cover.2025 Kia EV6 AirNew and bigger batteryOn the inside, we get a new 2-spoke steering wheel with off-set Kia badge on Air model, while GT-Line gets a sportier 3-spoke steering. New here, is an electric adjustment with steering column. Dual 12.3-inch displays running ccNC UI are positioned in a new housing. Other than these, there are very few changes with dashboard, centre console and door trims continue as they were.Safety features include up to 10 airbags, Highway Driving Assist Level 2 semi-autonomous driving software, updated smartphone as a key feature, remote Smart Park Assist function with diagonal parking support and a built-in dashcam. The new 84 kWh battery is a nice upgrade from the old 77.4 kWh unit and promises upto 494 km range in South Korean testing.2025 Kia EV6 InteriorDespite the increase in battery size, Kia claims 0 to 80% charge in 18 minutes from a 350 kW DC fast charger. Single motor RWD configuration comes with 225 bhp peak power and 350 Nm peak torque, while dual-motor AWD config promises up to 320 bhp peak power and 605 Nm peak torque.Also read – Hyundai Ioniq 5 facelift debuts with larger battery More

    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Clearest Spy Shots Leaked Online

    New Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 SpiedThe Roadster style Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will rival the likes of Speed 400, Honda CB300R, Yezdi Roadster, Harley X440 and Mavrick 440Ahead of launch, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 (previously speculated to be called either Scram 450 or Roadster 450) test mules have been making rounds around company’s facilities in Tamil Nadu. The recent images of upcoming Guerilla 450 show the bike in utmost clarity and it seems to very close to production. Let’s take a look.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Clearest Spy Shots EmergeIndia’s most successful and iconic classic bike manufacturer, Royal Enfield, has stepped into a new era of engineering capabilities with the launch of Himalayan 450. This motorcycle debuted a capable new platform powered by Sherpa 450 engine. Second instalment of the RE 450 saga will emerge in the form of Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Clearest Spy ShotsThere have been multiple instances of Guerrilla 450 sightings from the past couple of years now. Royal Enfield has been developing Guerrilla 450 alongside Himalayan 450. However, only the Himalayan 450 has broken covers and Guerrilla 450 has yet to.Recent spy shots from Drivespark are some of the clearest and show many new attributes that were not visible in previous spy shots. For starters, we can see a new fuel tank, which is different to the one we saw on Himalayan 450. So capacity is likely to be less than 17L seen on Himalayan 450.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Clearest Spy ShotsThere is quite a bit of camouflage seen on the bike to hide its identity. But the bike’s main frame and subframe are exposed and are almost identical to that of Himalayan 450, sans the added structures to mount luggage, panniers and the likes.Royal Enfield Scram 450 (Guerrilla 450) RenderChanges in componentry include RSU telescopic front forks with gaiters, a roadster-style handlebar, a single-piece seat, along with smaller wheels than Himalayan. These wheels, however, are alloy wheels and come fitted with road-biased tubeless tyres. Also, they’re fatter than Himalayan’s too.What to expect?Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 lacks a front windshield and the beak. Overall design fits the Roadster genre perfectly and is a handsome-looking machine. Round ORVMs, round LED headlights lend it that necessary neo-retro look. Other cycle parts like fancy swingarm and large disc brakes with dual channel ABS are seen on Guerrilla 450 as well.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Logo TrademarkedPowering the bike, we have the same Sherpa 450 engine. This engine is the first from Royal Enfield to pack modern engineering like DOHC 4V head and liquid cooling. 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, ride-by-wire throttle and other attributes are first for any single-cylinder Royal Enfield too.Source More

    Top 5 Changes In Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Over Himalayan 450

    Royal Enfield Scram 450 (Guerrilla 450) RenderThe neo-retro Roadster appeal of Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 puts it against rivals like Speed 400, X440, Mavrick 440, CB300R and othersSticking to its four launches per year strategy, Royal Enfield is cooking a bunch of new motorcycles for India to launch in 2024. The recently trademarked Guerrilla 450 is likely to launch soon and is among the most anticipated launches in Indian motorcycling industry. It is a stripped-down version of New Himalayan (a.k.a. Himalayan 450). Let’s take a look at the top 5 changes in Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 over Himalayan 450.1. Design & AestheticsWhile Himalayan 450 aims to look like an ADV, Guerrilla 450 is shooting for a Roadster look. Himalayan’s front beak, split seats and tall windshield are gone and so is the unappealing clamp that was holding the Tripper Dash. Guerrilla 450 will directly target the recently launched Harley-Davidson X440, its Hero counterpart Mavrick 440 and others like Yezdi Roadster, and Triumph Speed 400.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Logo Trademarked2. FunctionalityHimalayan 450 was equipped with a lot of exposed frames, mounts and a sturdy rear luggage rack for saddle bags, side panniers, top box and jerry cans. All these are missing on Guerrilla 450. That said, there will be accessories sold separately to achieve these functionalities. With Guerrilla 450, the priority is ease of use on daily commutes, rather than going on an expedition.3. Cycle PartsTransitioning from an ADV to a Roadster, Guerrilla 450 has embraced RSU telescopic front forks, 17-inch alloy wheels with road-biased tubeless tyres and less suspension travel. Steering geometry has been revised for Roadster genre and the headlight is now conventionally mounted on the triple tree and moves with the handlebar.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 4504. Ride & ErgonomicsRoyal Enfield Guerrilla 450 will pack a revised rider’s triangle that is geared towards sportiness for short power-packed commutes and the occasional highway use. Rider’s footpegs are slightly rear-set and the handlebars command a slight lean. The ride is likely to be slightly less robust and corner-carving a lot more natural when compared to Himalayan 450. Guerrilla 450 should weight a lot less in comparison to Himalayan 450 as well.5. PricingWe expect Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 to cost less than Himalayan 450. For context, Himalayan 450 costs between an eye-watering Rs. 2.85 lakh to 2.98 lakh (ex-sh) and in Karnataka (where I’m from), the on-road price goes very close to Rs. 4 lakh. If we take a look at rivals, Bajaj is offering a similar calibre motorcycle for Rs. 1.85 lakh (ex-sh). Factoring in the fancier gizmos Guerrilla 450 is bringing to the table, can we expect it to cost Rs. 2.3 lakh (ex-sh)? Only time will tell.Royal Enfield 450cc bike is likely to be Guerrilla 450Apart from the changes, Guerrilla 450 and Himalayan 450 will have a lot in common too. For starters, both get the same chassis, new Sherpa 450 engine, new Tripper Dash, fancy tail lights, full LED headlights and more. With the Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield has an opportunity to work on all the issues that were reported with Himalayan 450 and we can expect a more polished product.Also read – Royal Enfield New Himalayan long-term review.  More
