      by

      Maruti Electric MPV 7 Seater RenderTo maintain its dominance, Maruti will be launching multiple new SUVs and MPVs in the coming yearsAs part of its Vision 3.0 roadmap, Maruti Suzuki has chalked out a mega product onslaught. From the current 17 cars, the portfolio will be expanded to 28 by the end of this decade. While ICE and CNG models will continue to be in demand, Maruti will step-up focus on flex-fuel vehicles, ethanol powered cars, hybrids and EVs.Maruti born-electric MPV – RenderWith products like Ertiga and XL6, Maruti currently dominates the entry-level MPV segment. As electrification gains momentum, Maruti has started work on an all-electric MPV. Internally codenamed as YMC, this new Maruti electric MPV will share its powertrain and battery pack with the upcoming eVX compact electric SUV. Expected to be launched in the second half of 2026, it will be Maruti’s first born-electric MPV.Maruti Electric MPV 7 Seater RenderAs may be recalled, the born-electric platform to be used for eVX SUV is being developed as part of a collaboration between Maruti and Toyota. This new versatile platform will be able to support multiple body styles. For the upcoming electric MPV, a derivative of the 27PL skateboard will be used. While eVX is scheduled to debut later this year during the festive season, the electric MPV will debut around one and a half years later.With addition of the new electric MPV, Maruti will be able to provide more options to folks looking for a 3-row model. Maruti already has Ertiga, XL6 and Invicto MPVs. In the future, more 3-row models will be launched. It includes a 7-seater SUV based on the Grand Vitara and a hybrid MPV based on Suzuki Spacia. An extended range of 3-row models available with multiple powertrain options will be beneficial. It will place Maruti in a better position to deal with current and upcoming rivals.Maruti born-electric MPV – SpecsMaruti’s focus on affordability will continue with its upcoming hybrid and electric vehicles. To reduce development and production cost, the upcoming electric MPV is likely to borrow the battery pack, electric motor and other powertrain components from eVX. Maruti eVX will have battery options of a 40 kWh and a 60-kWh unit. Both these options could be offered with the electric MPV as well. Range could be around the same as 550 km of eVX. The equipment list is also expected to have multiple common features for eVX and YMC.While other carmakers like Tata and MG have launched affordable options in the EV segment, Maruti Suzuki is yet to start its innings. Maruti’s electric plans were delayed, as the company wanted to start with born-electric EVs instead of ICE to EV conversions.With multiple new EVs planned for launch in the coming years, Maruti shouldn’t have any major issues in catching up with rivals. As of now, Tata Motors dominates the entry-level EV segment with more than 2/3rd market share. MG Motor is second with market share of around 15%. Mahindra is third, with market share of 8-9 percent.Source More

Unlike initial speculations suggesting shipments from China, a recent report suggests Tesla intends to ship RHD vehicles to India from its manufacturing facility in Germany.Production Of Tesla Cars For India CommencedWorld’s leading electric car maker, Tesla, is poised to enter the Indian automotive scene and establish a manufacturing presence here. Initially, there were setbacks to Tesla from Indian Government regarding the reduction in taxation for establishing a retail chain with units shipped into the country from China.After a brief pause, Tesla changed its approach towards Indian market. The growing economy and India climbing the ladder to become the world’s third-largest automotive market certainly helped in these regards. One of the nudges could be Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to USA and dialogues exchanged with Tesla founder, Elon Musk.Because India is a market for RHD vehicles, initial speculations suggested an imminent import from Tesla’s Shanghai plant. RHD Tesla cars are primarily manufactured here and are exported to all RHD markets like UK, Japan, Australia and others.File photo from 2023.

As of now, there are no confirmations regarding which vehicles Tesla has on the cards for Indian markets.Tesla’s Berlin plant currently manufactures Model Y. Considering Indian road conditions and market perception, high-riding Tesla vehicles like Model Y could be a good fit.Company’s roadmapElectric vehicle juggernaut, Tesla, has pledged to establish manufacturing facilities in India. The company is about to finalise the location for the manufacturing facility. A team from Tesla is expected to fly into India and decide between three prospective locations – Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat.Tesla Model 3 refreshedAhead of that, Tesla is bringing vehicles manufactured in Germany to India via CBU route. These developments surfaced following the revised taxes by Indian Government on certain electric vehicles who’s manufacturers invest a minimum sum of USD 500 million and commence production within the next three years.As per the revised Indian policy, manufacturers can import up to 8,000 units into the country under the revised taxation policy at a lower tax rate. In the grand scheme of things, Tesla intends to increase its reliance on Indian providers for sourcing various components, making India a bigger sourcing hub.Source More

      Hyundai IONIQ 5 Robotaxi Clears US Driver’s License Test

      by

      Hyundai Ioniq 5 robotaxi Driving LicenseHyundai Motor Co.’s IONIQ 5 robotaxi passes a US driver’s license test in Las Vegas, marking the first time for a Level 4 autonomous vehicleA video released online shows off the new Hyundai IONIQ 5 robotaxi completing a process akin to that of an actual US driver’s license test. This new robotaxi, based on the all-electric IONIQ 5 crossover showed off its self-driving skills to achieve consistent driving performance under a host of driving conditions to exude uncompromised safety.Boasting autonomous driving technology, the Ioniq 5 robotaxi was put through a host of tests among which were public-level driving test and road driving in Las Vegas and emerged to prove its safety on both counts.Hyundai Ioniq 5 robotaxiIONIQ 5 robotaxi’s Reliability Put to TestThe video starts with a sad tale of Pearl Outlaw, a visually impaired American lady and her mother Ruth, talking about the disability called Retinitis Pigmentosa. This degenerative disorder limited Pearl’s freedom of mobility. However, with this new and certified robotaxi, having passed the driving test is a positive step in this direction. It will be a game changer for such persons who will no longer have to rely on others for their mobility.The accompanying video also demonstrates how the Ioniq 5 robotaxi was put to the test by Kandice Jones, a DMV-certified driving examiner with 25 years of experience who has failed thousands of students in the past. She states that “Out of the 31,500 people I’ve supervised over the past 25 years, only about 16% have passed”.[embedded content]Sitting in the front passenger seat, Jones tested the robotaxi under the same criteria as a human. It was monitored for speed, lane change, manoeuvres, left turns and lane maintenance besides complete stop and quick reaction time as the autonomous robotaxi took on the Las Vegas Strip and city suburbs. It passed each of these tests with flying colours.Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 robotaxi – An SAE Level 4 Autonomous VehicleHyundai’s IONIQ 5 robotaxi is based on an Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), Hyundai Motor Group’s dedicated battery electric vehicle (BEV) platform. It emerges as a collaboration between Hyundai Motors and Motional, an autonomous driving technology developer. It is fitted with over 30 sensors, cameras, radars and lidar to offer a 360-degree perception besides high-resolution images and long-range detection of objects to demonstrate consistent and safe driving performance. A safety suite, displayed across the vehicle’s exterior sets it apart from human-piloted vehiclesHyundai Ioniq 5 robotaxi ObstaclesThe successful completion of this stringent driving test marks the first time that a Level 4 autonomous vehicle, classified by SAE International, has been awarded the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) certification. This Level 4 means that the vehicle can drive itself under limited conditions without the requirement of a safety operator in the front seat. However, this is unlike Level 5 which allows for fully automated driving. It also highlights Pearl’s story of everyday mobility constraints faced by the physically impaired, with autonomous driving technology coming to the rescue in providing such persons a sense of independence.Earlier last month, the 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Facelift made its debut in India with an increased range. It is slated to come into India via CKD route by the end of 2024 or early 2025. More
