    New Maruti eVitara Electric SUVIn India, Maruti eVitara electric SUV will rival the likes of Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6, MG ZS EV and upcoming Hyundai Creta EV
    In the Indian market, Maruti Suzuki used to be known as the maker of small and budget cars. The company has successfully expanded its portfolio with many premium offerings. All of Maruti’s vehicles are either ICE or self-charging Hybrids. Now, the company is gearing up to launch its maiden electric vehicle.
    eVitara debuted recently in Milan, Italy. Testing of this electric vehicle is underway and makes periodic appearances. The most recent spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiast Ankit who spotted this test mule in Gurgaon, Haryana. Let’s take a closer look at Suzuki’s maiden electric vehicle for the world and India.

    The strategic partnership between Suzuki and Toyota has proved fruitful for both brands with multiple badge-engineered products between them. Suzuki’s new EV, which has been under rigorous testing, will spawn a Toyota counterpart, as confirmed by the brand recently. Production will commence in Spring 2025 and launch will happen by Summer 2025.
    The recent spy shots show eVitara from up close. It was draped in camouflage like previous test mules. We can see that it has quite a bit of road presence, owing to its strong design elements. Design-wise, recently debuted eVitara shows a striking sporty fascia with a closed-off grill and some aggression.

    Headlights with LED DRLs look muscular with a strong presence and bumper includes an opening in the shape of a bull bar along with fog lights. Charging port is positioned at the front left quarter panel. Suzuki seems to be aiming for a slightly sloping roofline, which is in-trend currently in India and major global markets.
    It will measure 4,275 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, 1,635 mm in width and has a 2,700 mm long wheelbase. Minimum ground clearance is 180 mm and it has a kerb weight between 1,702 kg and 1,899 kg. There’s disc brakes on all four wheels. Wheel sizes will go up to 19-inches, but the one spotted in India had 18-inch wheels wrapped with 225/55 MRF Wanderer tyres.

    Specs & Features
    Suzuki eVitara and its Toyota counterpart will come equipped with either a 49 kWh or 61 kWh battery pack, with the latter offering dual-motor 4WD option. Based on a born-electric platform, eVitara is primarily a FWD vehicle packing up to a 172 bhp and 189 Nm motor. With 61 kWh variant, 4WD variant brings a rear electric motor with 64 bhp at the rear for a total system output of 181 bhp and 300 Nm.
    Interiors have been revealed too, featuring a floating centre console, vertically oriented AC vents, a 2-spoke steering wheel, dual free-standing screens with the latest connectivity suite and high-quality materials, as it is a global product. Speculations suggest Suzuki eVitara will launch in Europe and Japan first and then in markets like India, even though part of the production happens here. A similar strategy to Jimny lifestyle SUV.

    Ola to Ola Hain, Chetak Shola Hain – Says Rajiv Bajaj, As Chetak Beats Ola In Sales

    Rajiv Bajaj at the launch of Chetak electric scooter. File photo.Rajiv Bajaj Declares Chetak the Best-Selling Electric Scooter, Reiterates Faith in Legacy Brands Over New-Age EV Makers
    In a significant milestone for Bajaj Auto, Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director of the company, announced that their electric scooter, Chetak, has climbed to the top spot in the Indian electric scooter market. Speaking to CNBC-TV18, Bajaj shared that based on December VAHAN registration data, the Chetak has surpassed its competitors to become the best-selling electric scooter in the country.
    Bajaj Chetak Overtakes Ola
    “CNBC-TV18 is very lucky for me… my son Rishabh, who has been part of the Electric Chetak team for the past 2.5 years, told me this morning that based on December VAHAN registration data, our electric scooter Chetak is now the largest-selling electric scooter, not third largest, in the country. So, the award could not be better timed,” said Bajaj.
    This achievement comes as Bajaj Auto narrows the gap with Ola Electric, which had been holding the largest EV market share until November. Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor Company have been closing in on Ola’s lead in the fiercely competitive electric scooter market. Add to this, Bajaj is getting ready to launch new gen Chetak on 20th Dec.
    A Playful Jibe at Ola Electric
    While celebrating Chetak’s rise to the top, Bajaj couldn’t resist taking a playful dig at Ola Electric and its CEO, Bhavish Aggarwal. Commenting on the competitive landscape, Bajaj said, “Ola toh Ola hai, Chetak shola hai” — implying that while Ola remains a significant player, Chetak is a firebrand in the market.
    Ola Electric, led by Bhavish Aggarwal, has been dominating the Indian electric scooter segment for months, but the gap between Ola and its rivals has been shrinking. Bajaj Auto’s success with Chetak, alongside TVS Motor Company’s performance, reflects an increasingly competitive landscape in India’s EV market.
    A Proven Strategy: Betting on “BET” Over “OATS”
    This latest development adds weight to Rajiv Bajaj’s earlier remarks where he dismissed new-age EV makers as “OATS”—a reference to Ola, Ather, Tork, and Simple—while expressing confidence in “BET”—Bajaj, Enfield, and TVS. Bajaj famously said he would bet on BET rather than OATS, and this statement seems to be ringing true in the current market scenario.
    Ola Electric, which dominated the EV market until November, has registered declining sales, while Ather Energy is also witnessing challenges. Tork Motors is reportedly struggling for survival, and Simple Energy is still working on expanding its market reach. Meanwhile, legacy players like Bajaj and TVS have been steadily increasing their footprints by expanding dealerships and service networks, allowing them to gain an edge in the market.
    Expanding Networks and Market Share
    Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor Company have been steadily expanding their dealership and service networks, enhancing accessibility for customers across India, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where newer EV brands have faced challenges in establishing a foothold. Ola Electric, however, is not backing down. On December 20, the company plans to open 4,000 stores and service centers nationwide. Furthermore, Ola has ambitious plans for 2025, with multiple new product launches lined up, including electric motorcycles and electric rickshaws, signaling an intensifying competition in the EV market.

    2025 TVS RoninThe same 225.9cc single-cylinder oil-cooled engine is carried over with 2025 TVS Ronin with 20.1 bhp, 19.93 Nm and a 5-speed gearbox
    One of India’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturers, TVS Motor, has just unveiled the updated 2025 Ronin at MotoSoul 4.0. This is a welcome update to TVS Ronin, which directly takes on Royal Enfield’s Hunter 350. Prices for 2025 TVS Ronin will be revealed in January 2025.
    Updated 2025 TVS Ronin Unveiled
    On the final day of TVS MotoSoul 4.0, the company unveiled new and refreshed 2025 TVS RONIN. Alongside an impressive display of innovation, diverse racing formats, and pioneering collaborations, TVS showcased 2025 Ronin with new colours at Vagator, Goa. 2025 comes with vibrant colours and graphics along with an update to its components.

    Apart from the new colours, there are a few mechanical updates as well, but not for all variants. TVS Ronin continues to be offered in three variants – SS, DS and TD. With the 2025 TVS Ronin, mid-spec DS variant has been updated with dual-channel ABS, for more assurance to rider ensuring a safer braking experience.
    2025 TVS Ronin – Glacier Silver
    Up until now, only the top-spec TD variant got dual-channel ABS, while base SS and mid-spec DS variants only got single-channel ABS. That’s changed with 2025 Ronin. Now, the upgrade to TD variant over DS variant will give adjustable levers and TVS’ SmartXonnect connectivity suite with Bluetooth and navigation.
    Price To Be Announced
    Currently, TVS Ronin is priced starting from Rs 1.35 lakh (Ex-sh) for base SS variant, Rs 1.57 lakh (Ex-sh) for mid-spec DS variant and Rs 1.7 lakh (Ex-sh) for top-spec TD variant. With the 2025 Ronin, there could be an increase in price, especially with the mid-spec DS variant as it gets the updated dual-channel ABS.
    Other components like the USD telescopic front forks and rear mono-shock, single disc brake setup at either end, remain the same. Powertrain is carried over unchanged too. The 225.9cc single-cylinder oil-cooled engine makes 20.1 bhp and 19.93 Nm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
    2025 TVS Ronin – Charcoal Ember

    Hero Mavrick 440 Mileage Test Report – Real World Fuel Efficiency

    Hero Mavrick 440 Mileage TestConsidering the displacement and performance it packs, Hero Mavrick 440 mileage test results in real-world conditions are impressive
    India’s leading motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, needs no introduction. The company has an unmatched legacy in India and abroad with budget commuter offerings. Reliability, affordability, accessibility, fuel efficiency and economical running costs are the main forte of Hero and its budget commuters.
    Now, Hero has a proper big bike in their portfolio for the first time with Mavrick 440. But how much mileage (fuel Efficiency) can one expect out of Hero’s first big bike? Hero MotoCorp provided Rushlane with a review sample and here’s what the Mavrick 440 managed to eke out riding through a mixture of city (with traffic) and highways.
    Hero Mavrick 440
    Hero Mavrick 440 Mileage Report
    With the review sample provided by Hero MotoCorp, I embarked on a long weekend solo ride to experience Hero’s first-ever big bike. I took the motorcycle from my place in Pune to Chatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, then to Nashik and returned back to Pune in just two days. Mavrick 440 packs ample performance with a 440cc oil-cooled engine with 27 bhp and 36 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
    Hero Mavrick 440 – Start Of The Test
    I was curious to find out just how fuel-efficient Hero Mavrick 440 is. So, I followed a proper tank-to-tank method. Mavrick’s fuel tank was filled to the brim and travelled across city traffic and highway run, including a few bad patches of roads along the way. After riding it for 192.5 km, I filled the tank back again to the brim, at the same spot as before, for a close-to-accurate reading.
    Hero Mavrick 440 – End Of The Test
    As seen in our mileage test run, Hero Mavrick 440 consumed 4.48L of fuel to cover 192.5 km. This was a surprising result as the mileage figure (fuel efficiency) turned out to be an impressive 42.96 km/l. It has to be noted that the majority of this ride was done on highways within a set speed limit of 100 km/h.
    Hero Mavrick 440 – Fuel Consumed
    Around 10% of this 192.5 km mileage was in the city with reasonable traffic in and around Chatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. Even on highways, throttle modulation was normal and I was not wringing it hard. Average highway speeds maintained across this ride were between 90 km/h and 100 km/h.
    Is the mileage good?
    Interestingly, bike’s instrument cluster showed a range of 451 km when the tank was filled to the brim. I felt like the Fuel gauge was generally inconsistent during my period with this motorcycle. In the city, especially in Pune traffic, I was getting around 25 km/l to 30 km/l, which is acceptable for a motorcycle of this displacement and performance.
    Hero Mavrick 440
    The sub 500cc premium single-cylinder motorcycle segment is gaining popularity and has been populated by multiple offerings across many brands. Royal Enfield has launched Himalayan 450 and Guerrilla 450, Bajaj-KTM duo has 390 Duke, 390 Adventure, RC 390 and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401, Bajaj-Triumph has Speed T4, Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X.
    Hero MotoCorp and Harley-Davidson partnership are crashing the party with Mavrick 440 and X440 respectively. Hero Mavrick 440 is the more affordable offering, while still offering the same basic ethos as X440, sans the brand factor and a few nice-to-have elements. With pricing as the key strength, Mavrick 440 even undercuts Royal Enfield’s Classic 350. More

    Sales rose to 5,167 units, compared to 4,305 units sold in October 2023, reflecting a growing interest in premium, high-capacity motorcycles. This segment’s strong performance can be attributed to a mix of new launches, evolving customer preferences, and the rising popularity of leisure motorcycling in India.
    Royal Enfield 650 Twin Leads the Pack
    Among the standout performers, the Royal Enfield 650 Twin series maintained its dominance, emerging as the top-selling model with 3,218 units sold in October 2024, an impressive 84.31% YoY growth compared to 1,746 units in the same period last year.

While still among the top contenders, the dip may suggest customers shifting preferences towards other models in the brand’s portfolio.

    Mahindra Renames BE 6e to BE 6 For Now – Amid Legal Dispute with IndiGo, Vows to Contest Case

    Indigo 6E and Mahindra BE 6eThe case will be closely watched as it not only involves two of India’s leading companies but also raises questions about trademark rights and their scope across different industries
    In an ongoing legal tussle between Mahindra & Mahindra and InterGlobe Aviation Limited (IndiGo) over the use of the “6E” brand, Mahindra has announced that its upcoming electric SUV will now be branded as the “BE 6.” This decision comes as the two companies gear up for a courtroom battle over trademark rights.
    Mahindra had originally named its electric SUV the “BE 6e” as part of its Born Electric (BE) platform, with the vehicle unveiled alongside the XEV 9e on November 26, 2024. While Mahindra maintains that the name “BE 6e” is distinct from IndiGo’s “6E,” which is associated with the airline’s branding, it has decided to rebrand the SUV to avoid potential market confusion and focus on its product launch.
    Mahindra’s Stance on the Dispute
    Mahindra has stated that it applied for the trademark registration for “BE 6e” under Class 12 (vehicles), which pertains to an entirely different industry from IndiGo’s operations in aviation. The company emphasized that its trademark is not “6E” but “BE 6e,” highlighting the distinct styling and usage context.
    “We believe our mark differs fundamentally from IndiGo’s ‘6E,’ which represents an airline, eliminating any risk of confusion. Moreover, our registration application is specific to a different industry sector and product,” Mahindra said in its statement.
    Mahindra also pointed out that IndiGo had previously faced a similar challenge from Tata Motors over the “IndiGo” name, as Tata had used the Indigo brand for its cars. Despite Tata’s objection, IndiGo retained its brand name, arguing it operated in a different sector. Mahindra finds IndiGo’s current stance inconsistent with its earlier actions.
    Rebranding and the Way Forward
    While Mahindra has renamed its SUV the “BE 6” to ensure a smooth market launch, the company has made it clear that it will continue to contest IndiGo’s claims in court. Mahindra expressed concern that granting IndiGo exclusivity over a two-character alphanumeric mark could set a problematic precedent, potentially stifling creativity and branding across industries.
    “Our priority remains delivering an excellent customer experience and focusing on popularizing electric transport in India. However, we firmly believe IndiGo’s claims are baseless and will strongly contest them in court. Allowing such claims to go unchallenged could monopolize common alpha-numeric marks, creating challenges for companies across sectors,” Mahindra added.
    A Call for Collaboration
    Mahindra also called for greater collaboration between Indian multinationals, stating that engaging in unnecessary legal battles diverts attention from the larger goal of contributing to the nation’s growth and development.
    “We find it unseemly that two large Indian companies are entangled in a distracting conflict when we should be championing each other’s growth and innovation,” Mahindra noted in its statement.
    Launch Plans for BE 6
    Despite the legal dispute, Mahindra is pressing forward with the launch of its BE 6 and XEV 9e SUVs. Deliveries are slated to begin in February 2025. Mahindra’s focus remains on its Born Electric platform, which aims to lead India’s transition to sustainable mobility solutions. More

    Modified TVS Apache Vortex 310 By Smoked Garage Looks Dope

    TVS Apache Vortex 310 BY Smoked GarageWith Supermoto-inspired TVS Apache Vortex 310 custom build, Smoked Garage has turned the dopeness dial all the way to the max!
    One of India’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturers, TVS Motor, has a very diversified portfolio. In the motorcycle segment, TVS has Apache RTR 310 and Apache RR 310 as its flagship offerings. These motorcycles come with refined and performant powertrains along with comprehensive rider electronic aids.
    So, there couldn’t be anything more raunchy or sensational than these motorcycles from TVS, right? Renowned bike modification house, Smoked Garage, thinks otherwise and has come up with their version of this motorcycle. TVS Motor showcased the same on social media platforms, calling it Apache Vortex 310 by Smoked Garage.
    Apache Vortex 310
    TVS Apache Vortex 310
    Smoked Garage is a renowned motorcycle modifier based out of Bali, Indonesia. Known for their Cyberpunk and Steampunk theme modifications, Smoked Garage turns the dope factor dial all the way to the max on motorcycles they work on.
    Sticking with the new Apache Vortex 310 build by Smoked Garage, we can see a futuristic and minimalistic supermoto-inspired design. Overall appeal is very edgy and the attention to detail on this machine is laudable. It features a stripped-down appeal, shedding all of the bodywork that came from the factory.
    Apache Vortex 310
    Important highlights of this build include a custom angular racing fuel tank, a custom subframe with a minimalist LED tail light setup, maximum induction airbox, a high-grip performance seat integrated with air ventilation and anti-drag wheel covers at the front and back. The main highlight, however, has to be its sleek and perplexing dual exhaust setup.
    This exhaust setup has Orange highlights. Similar Orange highlights can be seen on its brake callipers, handlebar grips and on its minimal flat-tracker-like headlights. There’s an underbelly cowl with TVS Racing leaping horse logo also finished in Orange. Front USD telescopic forks get a muscular cover, finished in Black. Overall, Smoked Garage has played with White, Black and Orange colours very well.

    Same Powertrain
    Under its trellis frame, we can still see the reverse-inclined 310cc DOHC 4V/cyl liquid-cooled motor that is capable of generating up to 37.48 bhp of peak power and 29 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, bi-directional quick shifter and the motorcycle gets a plethora of electronic rider aids.
    Just last year, Smoked Garage also worked on TVS Ronin Musashi build, which TVS Motor showcased at 2023 MotoSoul. Musashi was showcased alongside Ronin Agonda by Germany-based JvB Moto, Ronin Wakizashi by homegrown Rajputana Customs and lastly, Ronin SCR by TVS’ in-house Design Team.
