    The BE 6, with its futuristic styling, and the XEV 9e, a bold coupe-SUV, were unveiled in their final production form in late 2024. Now, with deliveries underway, Mahindra is looking to strengthen its footprint in the fast-growing electric vehicle segment.

    Hero Xpulse 210 First Ride Review – From Good To Better

    Hero Xpulse 210 First Ride ReviewEver since Hero MotoCorp was coined after the split with Honda, the company has been a stalwart in the off-road genre. The torch of the mighty Impulse was taken over by Xpulse 200 and has received multiple updates after it was first launched. Now, Hero has just launched Xpulse 210, which is the most advanced and the most tech-loaded iteration of Xpulse brand yet.
    We got to sample this motorcycle at the national media drive event in Udaipur, Rajasthan, organised by Hero MotoCorp. After riding Xpulse 210 across varied terrains and off-road sessions, here’s what we think about Hero MotoCorp’s latest off-roader.
    Hero Xpulse 210 First Ride Review – Design & Appearance
    World’s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, launched Xpulse 210 at the prestigious Auto Expo 2025. There are two variants of Xpulse 210 conveniently named Base & Top. Prices start from Rs 1.76 lakh (Ex-sh) for Base and Top costs Rs 1.86 lakh (Ex-sh). Top is the feature-loaded variant that gets all the bells and whistles.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Design
    There are four colours on offer with Xpulse 210 – Wild Red and Glacier White colourways with Base and Azure Blue and Alpine Silver colourways with Top. At the media drive event, Hero provided Rushlane an Xpulse 210 in Alpine Silver colourway. While it looks nice, I personally think Glacier White should be offered with Top variant for that clean aesthetic.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Design
    The company had showcased a more off-road version of Xpulse 210 at Auto Expo 2025, which will launch later. There’s a good probability that it will be launched only with Base variant. When compared to Xpulse 200, Xpulse 210 looks like an entirely different motorcycle, while still rocking that quintessential enduro bike look.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Muscular Fuel Tank
    Xpulse 210 looks a lot more muscular and beefy than Xpulse 200 4V, which is a good thing. It has significantly better road presence and the primary contributor towards this effect is the new fuel tank. It is taller and a lot wider thanks to the new tank shrouds. It almost looks like there is a semi fairing with Xpulse 210, which is not the case.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Lighting
    There’s a new front windshield which is taller and works quite well deflecting wind off riders even at highway speeds. Seat is a single-piece unit which is scooped out to offer a lower seat height and pillion area gets a slight step. The knuckle guards look better on Xpulse 210 and handlebar gets revised switchgear, especially with Top variant.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Design
    Rear section is a lot sharper in design with Xpulse 210 and exhaust is now set a little higher than on Xpulse 200. There’s LED lighting all around with Xpulse 210 in the form of LED headlights, LED tail lights and LED turn indicators. Sturdy rear luggage rack, revised front beak, and the 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster are notable elements.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Engine
    Specs & Hardware
    An untrained eye might think that Xpulse 210 is just an Xpulse 200 4V with the heart of Karizma XMR 210. That is not the case as Xpulse 210 is a completely different animal altogether. It is positioned on a different chassis featuring revised geometry and dynamics. Comparing the Base variant of Xpulse 200 4V with Xpulse 210, we can see that the newer bike is 32 mm longer and 10 mm wider.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Exhaust
    It also features a 19 mm longer wheelbase and seat height with standard variants (non Pro) is also increased by 5 mm. Ground clearance is the same 220 mm with standard versions of Xpulse 200 and Xpulse 210. Weight has gone up with Xpulse 210 as well and top-spec Top variant weighs in at 170 kg now. The 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels are a tried and tested combination. There are disc brakes at both ends and for the first time, Xpulse 210 got dual-channel ABS.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Tyres
    Xpulse 210 features the same 210cc engine as Karizma XMR 210, but is worked on to suit the character of Xpulse 210. For the very first time, an Xpulse is packing a liquid-cooled engine, a DOHC head, a slip and assist clutch, a 6-speed gearbox, dual-channel ABS which is switchable to unlock some fun and a TFT instrument cluster, among others. This TFT cluster is the most sophisticated Hero ever offered in its portfolio and it features music control, app connectivity and turn by turn navigation.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Brakes
    The 210cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cylinder engine on Xpulse is tuned to develop a peak power of 24.6 PS at 9,250 RPM and 20.7 Nm of peak torque at 7,250 RPM and is mated to a slip and assist clutch along with a 6-speed gearbox. This is the most powerful Xpulse yet and gets the most sought-after 6-speed gearbox for effortless highway cruising at triple digit speeds.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Suspension
    Ergonomics & Dynamics
    Xpulse 210 does an excellent job in containing the heat and dissipating it away from the rider as well. Rider is seated high and gets a commanding seating posture. I am a 182 cm tall individual and I could easily flat foot on both sides without any issues. Rider’s triangle is very relaxed and it did not induce any fatigue while seated on the pillion seat or standing. The footpegs are slightly forward set and offer a lot of comfort for highway rides.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Footpegs
    When standing and riding, Xpulse 210 offers optimum leverage for riders to grip it between their thighs. Xpulse 210 handles these speeds like a champ without breaking a sweat. This engine is tuned to achieve an optimum balance between tractability and effortless power delivery. Maintaining speeds of around 120 km/h on the highway is no problemo for Xpulse 210, thanks to the new engine and the added 6th gear. This motor does not hiccup even if you short shift and keep it at a higher gear than what is necessary.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Ergonomics
    There are far less vibrations on this engine, especially when compared to the one seen on Xtreme 250R. So, in a way, we kinda welcome Hero’s move to offer this 210cc engine on Xpulse 210 which is more suited for intended long distance touring. There are multiple luggage mounting provisions and there is a metal bash plate to protect the bike’s underbelly.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Switchgear
    Acceleration is quite brisk and Xpulse 210 gains speeds quite effortlessly. The revised geometry and the upgraded suspension setup ensures that Xpulse 210 is the best handling off-roader / enduro motorcycle Hero has ever launched. It is surprisingly agile and takes on corners with great ease, offering a great deal of confidence to riders, encouraging them to carry higher speeds into corners. Braking is quite sure-footed as well and is par for the performance ceiling that this motorcycle offers.
    Hero Xpulse 210 TFT Cluster Screen
    The bike that can do it all?
    Around Rs 2 lakh OTR is a compelling proposition for a one motorcycle that does it all. Xpulse 200 was the closest motorcycle to this concept, which was limited by highway cruising capability. Xpulse 210 fixes that and brings multiple new features and technology to the off-road genre at prices that rival brands are not even trying.
    Hero Xpulse 210 TFT Cluster Screen
    It looks better, rides better, performs significantly better, brakes better, packs better technology and meets all the requirements to be the only bike in your garage at around Rs 2 lakh (OTR) price point. However, that’s not the whole story. If there is one motorcycle that the OEM has continually updated and still kept loyalists wanting for more, it has to be Hero’s Xpulse.
    Hero Xpulse 210 USB Port
    Ever since it was first introduced, Hero has updated it multiple times. First, we got BS6 update, then we got the 4V update and then we got MY23 Xpulse 200 4V with updated switchgear and it introduced a Pro variant which offered factory-fitted Rally Kit contents for affordable prices.
    Hero Xpulse 210
    Despite the periodic updates, Hero didn’t quite capture the market and Xpulse brand never took off smashing sales charts. With the Xpulse 210, the same commotion exists as many prospective buyers might crave Hero’s new 250cc engine (debuted on Xtreme 250R) on this motorcycle or wish for the more off-road friendly Rally variant to be a available at launch. Instead of thinking what this bike could have been, we have to look at what it currently is.
    Hero Xpulse 210 LED Turn Indicators
    What it is, is the jack of all trades. It does everything right and there is not a single element which is missing or wrong on this motorcycle. Hero MotoCorp has hit it out of the park with Xpulse 210 where packaging is concerned. It could be the finest motorcycle around the Rs 2 lakh OTR mark that does it all – City commutes, Highway cruising and Off-roading.
    Hero Xpulse 210 Wire-spoke Wheels
    Hero Xpulse 210 is a lot more premium than what Xpulse 200 could have ever dreamt of and has significantly improved in terms of performance and dynamics. After finessing it with multiple iterations and updates, Hero MotoCorp has finally cracked the formula and this can easily be that one motorcycle around Rs 2 lakh OTR price point that can do it all.

    Ather Sales Feb 2025 – Rizta, 450X, 450S, 450 Apex

    New Ather Rizta Electric ScooterAther Energy’s first family electric scooter, Rizta, launched in mid 2024, has quickly become the brand’s best-selling model, accounting for 64.10% of Ather’s total sales over the past nine months. The shift in demand from performance-oriented electric scooters to family-friendly, practical EVs is evident, as the Rizta has amassed 79,531 unit sales out of 1,24,070 total units sold across Ather’s lineup.
    Rizta Leads Ather’s Sales Since Launch
    Since its debut, the Ather Rizta has averaged 8,837 units per month, significantly outpacing Ather’s performance-oriented models such as the 450X and 450S. In February 2025, Rizta sold 9,019 units, continuing its strong market presence.
    Rizta (family scooter) – 79,531 units sold (64.10% share)
    450X (performance-oriented scooter) – 31,266 units sold (25.20% share)
    450S (affordable alternative to 450X) – 11,716 units sold (9.44% share)
    450 Apex (new premium edition) – 1,557 units sold (1.25% share)
    Ather Sales
    Demand for Family Scooters Surpasses Performance Scooters
    The 450X and 450S models, which were once Ather’s flagship products, have been overshadowed by the Rizta’s appeal to urban family commuters. While the 450X maintains a steady 3,474 unit average per month, the 450S lags behind with an average of 1,302 units per month. The 450 Apex, introduced in recent months, has contributed only 1.25% to Ather’s total sales, showing limited traction in the high-performance electric scooter space.
    Sales Trends Over the Past Six Months
    The best-performing month for Ather overall was October 2024, when the company recorded 20,133 unit sales, with Rizta alone contributing 13,151 units—its highest monthly sales so far. January 2025 was another strong month, with 17,494 total units sold, of which 11,978 units were Rizta scooters.
    Ather Energy’s sales data suggests that Indian consumers are increasingly prioritizing practicality, comfort, and affordability over smaller / performance electric scooters. The strong sales of Rizta indicate that the demand for family-oriented electric scooters is outpacing the premium performance-focused models.
    As Ather Energy continues to expand its reach and production capacity, the company has plans to introduce new electric scooters as well as motorcycles catering to the mass-market, further solidifying its presence in India’s growing EV space. More

    2025 MG 4 Electric Hatchback Debuts – Gets Cyberster Inspired Makeover

    2025 MG 4 Electric Hatchback DebutsChinese electric cars have been taking global markets by the storm now. However, many consider MG 4 electric hatchback to be the flag bearer of this movement. The first one to achieve major success outside of China. Now, SAIC Motor has updated MG 4 electric hatchback for MY25 with an all new design language. Let’s take a closer look.
    2025 MG 4 Electric Hatchback
    First launched in June 2022 as MG Mulan, MG 4 electric hatchback was introduced to global markets in July 2022 and has been a popular choice. It was later renamed MG 4 and continues the same name with its updated model which has just debuted with a massive design overhaul, taking inspirations from Cyberster electric sports car.
    While the current MG 4 looks sharp and edgy with a clear hint of aggression, the 2025 MG 4 is thoroughly updated to look a lot softer and friendlier. The company could have gone for a nip and tuck treatment, MG has gone overboard and has updated MG 4’s design completely making it look more mature than it did before.
    The new generation model has a softer design with smooth and flowing lines. It has curvy body now and boasts an overall rounded appeal. Front fascia is significantly less aggressive with new LED projector headlights, tapering bonnet, closed-off upper grill, honeycomb pattern lower grille and C-shaped design elements in front bumper.
    2025 MG 4 Electric Hatchback Debuts
    At the sides, we now have a smooth shoulder line, up to 17-inch stylish alloy wheels, ORVMs mounted on doors, conventional door handles, blacked out pillars, front quarter glass and more. Rear design is interesting with a connected bar LED tail light along with arrow-shaped LED tail lights, similar to that of Cyberster sports car.
    Bigger & Lighter
    We also get a Black roof along with a sporty roof spoiler. Accentuating the sportiness of rear design, we have blackened elements around number plate area. Charging port is situated in the front left quarter panel. Depending on the trim level, MG 4 will get multiple designs for alloy wheels and some of them are White in colour as well.
    Chinese MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) revealed that the 2025 MG 4 electric hatchback has grown in size as well. It measures 4,395 mm in length, 1,842 mm in width, 1,551 mm in height and has a 2,750 mm long wheelbase. This is 108 mm longer, 6 mm wider and 35 mm taller than current model and wheelbase has grown by 45 mm.
