    Mahindra Auto is set to redefine the Indian and global EV industry with the launch of BE 6e and XEV 9e electric SUVs. These are among the most anticipated launches in Indian automotive history. Ahead of launch on 26th November, interesting new details have leaked.

    Mahindra BE 6e – Electric Origin SUV
    Not just that, sources tell Rushlane that Mahindra BE 6e and XEV 9e will be the first mainstream cars in India to launch with remote parking features. This is an absolute Godsend feature to anyone who has a tight parking spot in their garage. Also, this comes in handy in many parking areas where someone parks too close to your car and the doors can’t be opened.
    Mahindra BE 6e and XEV 9e will come with a new key with dedicated buttons on it enabling remote park function. After remotely starting the car from this new key, users can press the forward or reverse buttons on this key and move BE 6e and XEV 9e from their parking spots or into a parking spot. The car will be able to move forward and backward at the touch of a button on the new key, while you are standing outside.

    This feature will use 360-degree cameras all around along with parking sensors. While operating this feature remotely, the parking sensors will detect obstacles and command the system to stop immediately. In India, this feature is not seen in the mainstream car segment and is only seen in a few luxury vehicles. When launched, remote parking on BE 6e and XEV 9e will be an absolute standout feature.

    What else can we expect?
    As seen in the spy shots, BE 6E will have a cockpit-like dashboard with a dual-screen layout. XEV 9e will pack a triple-screen layout. Battery size could go till 80 kWh in capacity and we can expect single-motor and dual-motor setups as well.
    Mahindra is set to launch BE 6e and XEV 9e on 26th of November in Chennai at their ‘Unlimit India’ event. Apart from remote parking, Mahindra’s Electric Origin SUVs are likely to pack significantly more features than current offerings. More

    Retail sales across the automobile segment saw surging figures hitting record sales. These sales figures could have even been higher had it not been adversely affected by various weather conditions. The southern states were affected by unseasonal heavy rains while in late October, Odisha had to face a backlash after being struck by Cyclone Dana.

    Total vehicle retail sales stood at 42,88,248 units in the 45 day period from 3rd Oct 2024 to 13th Nov 2024. This was an 11.76% YoY growth from 38,37,040 units sold in the 15th Oct 2023 and 25th Nov 2023. It had a volume growth of 4,51,208 units.

The tractor segment is expected to make up in terms of sales thanks to a favourable monsoon and government’s policies which see an increase in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of crops. Now with the festivities coming to a conclusion, the automobile segment remains hopeful to end the calendar year on a promising note allowing dealers to liquidate 2024 stocks and enter the New Year with 21 day inventories. With November and December 2024 marking favourable months for the wedding season in India, improved demand, particularly in the 2W and PV segments are anticipated. More

    Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber
    With the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350, users can expect more enjoyable rides and some distinctive features as well
    Royal Enfield has strived to increase options available to enthusiasts continuously. As part of that strategy, RE’s 350cc portfolio will get a new member – the Goan Classic 350. The new bike is scheduled to debut at the upcoming Motoverse. The 3-day event will be held from 22nd to 24th November 2024.
    Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 – What’s different?
    New Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will feature distinctive elements that make it stand out among other 350cc motorcycles from Royal Enfield. For example, the bike will be getting whitewall tyres which were a popular choice during the 1950s and 1960s. Their use was quite common across both cars and motorcycles. Brands like Harley-Davidson and Indian had used these tyres for several of their products.
    Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Spied
    Whitewall tyres enhance the retro vibes of the bobber-style Goan Classic 350. Enthusiasts who prefer a vintage look and feel will surely be interested in the new Royal Enfield bike. As of now, whitewall tyres are quite rare to be spotted with modern motorcycles. Other changes include a new “U” handlebar that better suits the needs of a bobber-style motorcycle.
    Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 has a ground clearance of 170 mm. It will come with a rider-only seat as standard. A pillion seat will be available as an accessory, along with the supporting kit needed to mount it at the rear. The setup can be similar to that of the pillion seat option available with Shotgun 650.

    Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber
    Parts borrowed from Classic 350

Some of the key highlights include a circular headlamp (probably LED) and rear-view mirrors, tear-drop fuel tank and broad fenders at front and rear. Suspension setup comprises conventional telescopic forks at front and dual rear shock absorbers. While spoked wheels will be better suited for the bobber-style Goan Classic 350, Royal Enfield may provide the option of alloy wheels as well.
    Wheel sizes could be similar to Classic 350 – 19-inch front and 18-inch rear. Braking setup is expected to have 300 mm and 270 mm discs at front and rear, respectively. The twin downtube spine frame will be similar to other 350cc Royal Enfield motorcycles. Powering Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will be the same 349cc, single-cylinder, air-oil cooled engine that generates 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque. It is mated with a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox.
    Royal Enfield Bobber 350 – Image for reference only
    Goan Classic 350 – Price estimate
    Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will be marketed as a lifestyle product and could command a slightly higher pricing in comparison to Classic 350. This can be especially true for the top variants of Goan Classic 350. For reference, Classic 350 single-channel ABS variants start at Rs 1.93 lakh. The top variant is available at Rs 2.30 lakh.
