    Chery iCar V23 Debuts – Co-Developed With Xiaomi And Takes On Yep Plus SUV

    Chery iCar V23 DebutsThe new Chery iCar V23 takes an overall similar design theme as iCar 03 with heavy design inspirations from Toyota FJ CruiserAhead of its launch, Chery iCar V23 has debuted and will be shown at Beijing Auto Show later this month. Pre-sales for this interesting-looking SUV will commence sometime around the second half of 2024. It takes a similar boxy SUV approach as recently launched Baojun Yep Plus SUV.Chery iCar V23 DebutsWho doesn’t love small boxy SUVs with some off-road capabilities? We sure do. Chery has extended its iCar lineup to incorporate V23 e-SUV which is set to launch soon. V23 is second vehicle falling under the iCar umbrella and is co-developed with Xiaomi’s subsidiary, Smartmi, which is also known as Zhimi Technology.Chery iCar V23 is around the same size as a Skoda Kushaq measuring 4,220 mm in length, 1,915 mm in width, 1,845 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2,730 mm. Chery iCar V23 is considerably smaller than Chery’s own iCar 03 even thought it follows the same rugged boxy SUV design theme as iCar 03.You don’t have to be a genius to realise that Chery iCar V23 takes a lot of design inspiration from a now-discontinued SUV from a legacy car maker. We’re talking about Toyota’s legendary FJ Cruiser. Especially with those round headlights, wrap-around type LED DRLs / turn indicators, off-road bumpers and more.Chery iCar V23At the side, design inspiration from FJ Cruiser gets even more evident with the way windshield angle is positioned, chunky ORVMs and a rather thick C-pillar. Unlike FJ Cruiser, this thick C-pillar on Chery iCar V23 extends to its rear, creating a giant blindspot. Rear is not as heavily inspired as FJ Cruiser. Instead of a spare wheel, V23 tailgate gets a storage box for aesthetics.Off-road CredentialsOn the inside, shallow and flat dashboard gets dual-tone treatment. The giant central display grabs all the attention and there are quite a few knobs and toggle switches for crucial functions like climate control. The three-spoke steering wheel gets dual-tone treatment and is wrapped in leather. Interestingly, rear bench seat only has two seats despite having 1,915 mm width.Chery iCar V23 DashboardChery has ensured iCar V23 is a proper off-road-worthy machine. RWD versions promise a 42° approach angle and a 40° departure angle along with a 206 mm ground clearance. The 4WD variant promises a 43° approach and 41° departure angles along with 212 mm ground clearance.Wheel size options include either 19-inchers or 21-inchers. Powertrains are not fully out. Rumour mill suggests an 80 kWh CATL battery pack with 4WD variant and a smaller battery with RWD variant. Range on a single charge could vary between 400 km and 500 km with RWD and 4WD variants respectively. Will it launch in India? Not likely. More

    Bajaj Pulsar 400 Render Before Launch – 6 New Colours

    Bajaj Pulsar 400 RenderWhen launched, Bajaj Pulsar 400 is likely to undercut rivals like Triumph Speed 400, KTM 390 Duke, Hero Mavrick, Harley-Davidson X440 and othersPulsar is the beating and pulsating heart of Bajaj Auto’s motorcycle arm. The company has gone strength to strength with the Pulsar brand and has expanded the lineup from just a 150cc bike to multiple 125cc, 150cc, 160cc, 180cc, 200cc, 220cc and 250cc bikes. Now is the time to witness the “Biggest Ever Pulsar” that is set to launch on May 3rd.Bajaj Pulsar 400 RenderedWith Pulsar brand, Bajaj intends to revv the hearts of motorcycling enthusiasts. So, it has to strike the right balance between design, performance along with features and equipment. Rushlane’s render of Pulsar 400 aims to be just that. Rendering artist Pratyush Rout has stuck to the core Bajaj Pulsar ethos while imagining this render.Bajaj Pulsar 400 RenderWe reckon that our render does a splendid job of capturing what “Biggest Ever Pulsar” could be like. Brawny design? Check. Massive presence? Check. Premium componentry? Check. Pulsar DNA? Check. The colour schemes used on our Bajaj Pulsar 400 render also adhere to what the company is currently offering with current Pulsars.As confirmed by Bajaj Auto CEO, Rajiv Bajaj, “Biggest Pulsar Ever” is in the making and is likely to launch on May 3rd, 2024. Ever since the news broke out, there has been a massive wave of interest and anticipation towards this upcoming product.Bajaj Pulsar 400 RenderWe can see an overall Pulsar N series design language, that has been proportionately bulked up. Owing to the large displacement, there is a larger exhaust too that adds a lot of visual bulk. Contributing to that effect are beefy USD telescopic front forks finished in gold, sharper and meaner-looking tank shrouds and a larger tank shroud.Bajaj Pulsar 400 RenderSplit seats and clip-on handlebars lens a sporty appeal. Rear subframe is quite a bit raised, usually seen in a delta box chassis. Tank contours and heel plates look like they provide quite a bit of leverage to attack corners. Tail tidy would look nicer, but this setup is a lot more practical. Rear set footpegs for committed posture and premium ORVM stalks are notable.Which engine will it pack?Where powertrains are concerned, our render has a single-cylinder unit that gets a liquid cooling jacket with a large radiator, DOHC 4V engine head and Bajaj’s proprietary DTS-i twin spark technology. Overall, this larger engine looks very proportionate when compared to the body.Bajaj Pulsar 400 RenderCurrently, Bajaj manufactures three high-capacity single-cylinder engines for legacy manufacturers like KTM and Triumph. We have a 373cc engine that generates around 40 bhp and 35 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox which is seen in Dominar 400. There’s a 398.15cc engine with around 40 bhp and 37.5 Nm as seen on Triumph 400 range.Then there’s the newer 398.63cc engine that develops around 45 bhp and 39 Nm which is plonked on KTM’s new 390 Duke and seen on the upcoming 390 Adventure and 390 Enduro. All these engines get DOHC 4V head, liquid cooling and are mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The possibility of Pulsar 400 getting the same engine as the current Dominar 400 seems to be more prevalent.Bajaj Pulsar 400 Render More

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – First Ride With New Updates

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 ReviewBajaj has launched the updated Pulsar N250 with lots of new features – Prices start from Rs 1.51 lakhFollowing the onslaught of connectivity updates by Bajaj Auto since the beginning of this year, the company has rolled out the renewed version of the Pulsar N250, but with more than just Bluetooth and a connected console. The 2024 Pulsar N250 comes with a whole range of features that is truly enticing to its demographic. The selling points include inverted telescopic suspension, Dual Channel ABS with three ride modes (Road, Rain and Off-Road), Traction Control System, and wider tyres.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – Features and TechnologyThe USD fork made by Endurance, is meant to improve the handling and be more durable to battering on Indian roads. It also serves as an eye candy on the N250 especially since it comes in champagne gold finish on the Pearl Metallic White and Glossy Racing Red versions of the bike. On the Brooklyn Black N250 the fork is also black in colour.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 ReviewThe three braking modes of the Dual Channel ABS are programmed to regulate the braking intervention to prevent lock-up keeping in mind the variety of road conditions even a single stretch of ride can include. The Road mode is the standard setting. The Rain mode is developed for rainy and wet road conditions with the obvious maximum eagerness to intervene.The Off-Road mode is not strictly for adventure off-roading, it is programmed to be suitable for rural road conditions that may involve gravel, loose sand and unevenly broken patches. In order to engage the Off-Road mode, you gotta ride the bike below 20 kmph, but to switch to or between Road or Rain modes there’s no speed rule, it can be done anytime on the fly.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – Braking and HandlingThe N250 does deserve brownie points for remembering the last used ABS mode. While the same cannot be said for the Traction Control System, which if turned off will come back alive the next time you key up the motorcycle. However it remains off until you pull the key out, like if you kill the engine with the switch or by careless clutch-work. Also, to switch off the TCS, you need to be in Off-Road ABS mode.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 ReviewDuring our brief test ride at Chennai, we rode over different surfaces and found that the braking was indeed dependable. It was sufficiently bite-y as well. The USD fork seemed to improve the confidence in handling and zipping across the tightly-meshed traffic.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – User ExperienceThe LCD console that displays all the stats as well as the current status of the aforementioned systems, has a lot of information to show within very less real estate. The segmented display is also a buzz-kill, but considering the price point, the judgement has to be withdrawn.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 ReviewWhat can’t be, is the fact that a single button does all the work from scrolling down the menu, changing the Bluetooth settings and switching between the brake modes. And the Bluetooth is indeed useful for call and SMS alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation guidance from the phone.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – Engine and PerformanceThe engine used is exactly the same as the outgoing model. It is the 249 cc single-cylinder four-valve air & oil-cooled motor, that generates 24.1 bhp of peak power at 8,750 rpm and 21.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. While the peers were discussing that Bajaj could’ve upgraded the gearbox to a 6-speed unit instead of the same 5-speed one, practically an upgrade didn’t feel necessary. The motor feels very alive with the current pairing and the rev-spacing between the gears is quite sporty already. The power delivery and ride composure while utilising that power are quite amazing for a bike of its price now that it’s got all these contemporary features.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – VerdictBajaj Pulsar N250 2024 has raised the bar in terms of features and performance within its price range. With a host of updates including inverted telescopic suspension, Dual Channel ABS with multiple ride modes, and a Traction Control System, Bajaj has clearly aimed to cater to a diverse set of riders and road conditions. Overall, Bajaj seems to have once again hit the mark with the Pulsar N250, offering a compelling package that appeals to a wide range of riders, whether seasoned enthusiasts or newcomers attracted by its features and performance.
