    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
