    BYD Seal X Homologated – Production Version Of Ocean-M Concept

    BYD Seal X HomologatedBased on the recently showcase Ocean-M Concept, BYD Seal X is a handsome-looking pure electric hatchback, larger than MG4 EVElectric car juggernaut, BYD, is set to expand its product portfolio with a bunch of new vehicles. One of them is the BYD Seal X, which is the production-spec version of Ocean-M Concept recently showcased at Beijing Auto Show. The car was recently homologated by Chinese MIIT and it could emerge as a very important product for BYD.BYD Seal X HomologatedRecently revealed by Chinese MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), BYD Seal X is homologated as a pure electric sedan. Because it has Seal in the name, it falls under BYD’s popular Ocean lineup accompanied by Seagull and Dolphin, among others. BYD Seal lineup currently has Seal 06, Seal EV, Seal DM-i, and Seal U (a.k.a BYD Song Plus).Initial speculations suggest the ‘X’ in BYD Seal X may be a variable nameplate placeholder. This is because the homologation declaration by Chinese MIIT had nameplates like Seal 06GT, Seal MINI and Seal 05EV. For the time being, let’s just call the recently homologated vehicle, BYD Seal X.Overall design is very handsome and looks like an extension of BYD Seal EV. At the front, we like the new headlights with a wrap-around effect. BYD logo proudly sits between these headlights. Front bumper is all new with pronounced boomerang-shaped air ducts. The lower grill opens outwards and in the middle, gets a radar module for ADAS features.BYD Seal X RearAt the side, front quarter panel has a stylised plaque similar to BYD Seal EV. ORVMs, flush-mounted door handles and the design patterns on side running board look similar to BYD Seal too. Wheels and overall silhouette of Seal X is unique and pays tribute to Ocean-M Concept on which it is based.Hatchback style design is more evident at the rear and we have a flatter tailgate. Tail lights are connected in a black plaque. Rear bumper gets a black finish. Unlike the BYD Seal, there is no rear diffuser with BYD Seal X. Rear bumper is kept black to cut down on visual mass and overall rear design lends a sporty appeal.Specs & hardwareBYD Seal X measures 4,630 mm in length, 1,880 mm in width, 1,490 mm in height and has a 2,820 mm long wheelbase. Wheels are 18-inchers wrapped with 225/50-R18 tyres and can be opted to have 19-inch wheels too. Both RWD and AWD variants will be on sale. Single motor variant will have 214 bhp and dual motor variant will pack 416 bhp.BYD Seal X FasciaThe homologation document also shows a mid variant with 308 bhp as well. Battery size is unknown, but they’re BYD Blade cells sourced from FinDreams (Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry). BYD Seal X might go on sale in the coming months. India launch could be on the cards, but nothing can be said for certain.Also read – BYD Seal EV First Drive Review More

    Mahindra BE.05 EV Interiors Spied – Electrifying Acceleration On Ghats (Video)

    Mahindra BE.05 EV Interiors SpiedAmong the five INGLO-based SUVs showcased, Mahindra BE.05 EV is likely to be the most popular owing to its expected size and pricingStrategies for Mahindra’s electric vision have been unfolded in the past couple of years. The Indian auto giant is launching five new electric SUVs based on its born electric INGLO platform. Most affordable of these five is BE.05 which is poised to be the most flamboyant compact electric SUV in India or even the world.Mahindra BE.05 Production Interiors SpiedFor the first time ever, we got a sneak peek at the upcoming Mahindra BE.05’s interiors thanks to automotive enthusiast Amanjot Singh Dua. Mahindra is currently testing BE.05 along with XUV.e8 and XUV.e9 for varied altitudes, temperatures and terrains. So, test mules have been spotted in both deserts as Himalayan mountains.Mahindra BE.05 EV Interiors SpiedWhile there have been innumerous sightings of BE.05’s exteriors, this is the first time production-spec interiors have been leaked. We can see a lot of similarities with Mahindra BE.05 concept showcased at M.A.D.E headquarters in UK. At the event, Mahindra promised most design highlights to be carried over to production model.The company is staying true to its word. Overall layout of BE.05’s interiors looks very similar to its concept. A pronounced split with Bronze finish between driver and passenger lends a cockpit-like feel. Design elements like the twin-spoke hexagonal steering wheel along with a vertical bronze strip at the top and touch and toggle steering controls stay true to its concept.Mahindra BE.05 EV Interiors SpiedIn the centre console, dial from the concept is retained. It might control terrain modes or drive modes. There might be a yacht-like dedicated gear selector and electronic parking brake in this area too. We can also see three digital sliders that could be used to control volume or interior lighting brightness or sunshade or sunroof.Mahindra BE.05 EV Interiors SpiedCar’s interiors were riddled with testing equipment, wires, hose pipes and whatnot. Another notable element we can grasp from BE.05’s interior is frameless IRVM that we saw with newly launched XUV 3XO and white leatherette upholstery with perforations that are likely to have ventilation function.Altitude testing and overtaking in Leh LadakhBE.05 is currently under altitude testing too and has been spotted trundling along the highway between Leh and Kargil. Thanks to automotive enthusiast Lakshmi Prasad, we have a glimpse of Mahindra BE.05’s instant and electrifying acceleration as it overtook a truck in the twisties.[embedded content]There is a good possibility of it being the higher-spec dual motor AWD variant. Battery capacity could be around 60 kWh+ and will feature a single-motor version as well. When launched, it will rival the likes of MG ZS EV, Hyundai Creta EV, Maruti Suzuki eVX and its arch-rival is the upcoming coupe-styled Tata Curvv EV.BE.05 is likely to be the volume generator (among INGLO-based EVs) for Mahindra owing to its sheer design and segment positioning. It is the smallest among all XUV.e and BE vehicles showcased and will appeal to masses. It has wild written all over its design and looks futuristic and aggressive with a massive road presence. More

    2025 Kia EV6 Facelift Debuts – Bigger Battery, Sharper Design, India-Bound

    2025 Kia EV6 Facelift DebutsThe new 2025 Kia EV6 facelift brings iterative updates in design, powertrain and equipment, while packing a bigger batteryKia’s critically acclaimed EV6 has been detrimental in establishing the brand as a high-performance electric car manufacturer for enthusiasts. We have to note that EV6 is Kia’s foray into electric mobility solutions and is a big deal. So, the 2025 Kia EV6 facelift debuts ahead of launch, is an important launch for the brand. Let’s take a look.2025 Kia EV6 Facelift DebutsIf there was one vehicle that put Kia on the global electric vehicle map, it has to be EV6. Offered in RWD and AWD along with a high-performance GT trim, Kia EV6 has managed to appeal to both sensible buyers and thrill-seekers alike. The car’s sleek and crossover design is well-received and is eye-candy.2025 Kia EV6 GT-LineThe new MY25 Kia EV6 builds on these attributes and emerges as a fitting replacement to an iconic vehicle that started Kia’s electric mobility journey. However, this is a mild mid-life journey and the design changes are more evolutionary than revolutionary.Most prominent of these design changes include a refreshed fascia. The eyebrow-like LED DRLs of current model have been replaced with much sleeker and stylistic C-shaped elements that lend a sporty aura. Base EV6 Air and mid-spec EV6 GT-Line feature slight design differences for distinction.[embedded content]Where Air gets a Tiger Nose grill, GT-Line gets a connecting LED bar in the middle. Starmap adaptive LED headlights are now sleeker and blend in well with overall design of both trims. GT-Line gets a slightly more sportier front bumper, for added aggression. Air gets a choice of 19-inch and 20-inch alloy wheels, while GT-Line gets unique 20-inch alloy wheel designs.At the rear, there are hardly any changes with a few nip and tuck measures here and there. Where the rear bumper on EV6 Air looks a little sober, GT-Line spruces things up quite nicely. We should expect more aggression with top-spec GT trim whenever it breaks cover.2025 Kia EV6 AirNew and bigger batteryOn the inside, we get a new 2-spoke steering wheel with off-set Kia badge on Air model, while GT-Line gets a sportier 3-spoke steering. New here, is an electric adjustment with steering column. Dual 12.3-inch displays running ccNC UI are positioned in a new housing.

The new 84 kWh battery is a nice upgrade from the old 77.4 kWh unit and promises upto 494 km range in South Korean testing.2025 Kia EV6 InteriorDespite the increase in battery size, Kia claims 0 to 80% charge in 18 minutes from a 350 kW DC fast charger. Single motor RWD configuration comes with 225 bhp peak power and 350 Nm peak torque, while dual-motor AWD config promises up to 320 bhp peak power and 605 Nm peak torque.Also read – Hyundai Ioniq 5 facelift debuts with larger battery More

    Mahindra XUV400 EV Facelift Based On XUV 3XO Incoming? New Variants Homologated

    Image for illustration onlyWhen launched, Mahindra XUV400 EV facelift will continue to rival MG ZS EV and Tata Nexon EV LR and the likesNew homologation documents filed by India’s de facto SUV manufacturer, Mahindra, sparks a few interesting questions. The company is on the verge of launching a new trim lineup for its electric offering, XUV400. Currently, we only have two trim levels – EC Pro and EL Pro. These will be replaced with a newer trim hierarchy.Mahindra XUV400 EV Facelift Incoming?Mahindra has homologated a new trim hierarchy with its electric offering XUV400. Currently, XUV400’s current trim hierarchy has EC Pro and EL Pro. Mahindra is keeping the EC and EL main trim levels intact. But the Pro suffix has been dropped in favour of new characters.Mahindra XUV400 EV New Variants HomologatedIn effect, EC will get L, L(O) and LL variants, while EL will get LL(O), LH, LH(O), PH and PH(O). Mahindra XUV400 EC L is the base variant, whereas EL PH(O) seems to be top-spec variant. Dimensions remain the same as current model. Launch timeline for the new trim hierarchy is not known yet.If you have been following developments from the house of Mahindra, you must be aware of the fact that the company updated XUV400’s trim hierarchy just a few months ago. So, why change their mind regarding trim hierarchy in just three or four months? Homologations are tedious affairs.Mahindra XUV 3XO Panoramic sunroofWhy though?Mahindra is likely to be facelifting XUV400 with the recently launched XUV 3XO’s design and styling. Now, the updated trim hierarchy makes a lot of sense as the company seems to be spreading out the excessive features seen on XUV 3XO in many variants to offer varied pricing with upcoming XUV400 facelift.Will get new Interiors with soft touch materials, L2 ADAS, panoramic sunroof, and more from XUV 3XO aboveInterestingly, Mahindra is retaining XUV400 name and not replacing it with XUV 4XO as they did with XUV300. That’s because Mahindra doesn’t have XUV 4XO trademark. The new naming scheme only has odd numbers in them (XUV 5XO and XUV 7XO) and XUV400 is not one of them. Expect XUV700 facelift to be named XUV 7XO.Where design is concerned, Mahindra XUV400 facelift will be almost identical to XUV 3XO, only slightly longer and a lot more proportionate. Fascia with large LED DRLs, 17-inch wheels, rear connected LED tail lights, Level-2 ADAS, panoramic sunroof, soft-touch plastics and other recently added attributes from XUV 3XO will be carried over to XUV400 facelift.Powertrains-wise, Mahindra XUV400 facelift gets around the same 34.5 kWh and 39.4 kWh batteries as before. There seems to be a sole 150 PS electric motor. Smaller 34.5 kWh battery is sourced from LG Chem, while larger 39.4 kWh battery has two sources, one being LG Chem and the other is Farasis.Also read – Mahindra launched XUV700 Blaze Edition More

    Kia EV3 Compact Electric SUV Teased Ahead Of Global Debut

    Kia EV3 Compact Electric SUV – Concept Vs Production Model TeasersWhere dimensions are concerned, Kia EV3 compact electric SUV might be positioned between Sonet and Seltos at around 4.2m lengthWith ambitions to be recognised among the leading electric car manufacturers of the world, Hyundai and Kia have been pushing the envelope for some time now. The duo’s efforts reflect in their born electric portfolio. Newest of the bunch is Kia EV3 which is set to be globally unveiled on May 23rd, 2024. Ahead of that, Kia has officially released teasers to give a glimpse of its upcoming eSUV. Kia EV3 Compact Electric SUV TeasedNot so long ago, Kia officially revealed EV3 and EV4 concepts. While EV3 is an electric SUV, EV4 takes a different route and is a crossover electric sedan-style vehicle. Production-spec EV3 has been teased by Kia for the first time. EV3 is highly likely to make its way to our shores. When launched, it will be positioned below Kia EV6 in brand’s electric portfolio.Kia EV3 TeasersThe EV3’s exterior design is showcased in the teaser images, highlighting its bold, geometric, and robust aspects. The vehicle’s dynamic styling is also emphasized in these images. Kia EV3 boasts boxy rear fenders, tailgate, and signature Star Map lighting contributing to a unique identity.Comparing to the Kia EV3 concept, we can see slightly redesigned LED headlights and DRLs at the front. However, rear seems to have been carried over as they were in the concept. The sculpted body adheres to Kia’s trademark ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy. The same design language can be seen in other Kia cars including their flagship EV9.Kia EV3 TeasersIncorporating innovative technologies, Kia aims to broaden its EV range to include affordable options for the masses and that is where EV3 seems to blend in. Kia has promised a comprehensive range of equipment with EV3. On the inside, we can expect eco-conscious attributes and a similar minimal design theme as EV6.What to expect from Kia EV3?A lot is riding on Kia EV3’s success. Kia aims to deliver an elevated customer experience derived from its flagship models into compact SUV segment where EV3 will fall. Considering that Kia is calling EV3 a ‘compact SUV’, we expect it to be slightly larger than Sonet and slightly smaller than Seltos at around 4.2m length. Think Mahindra XUV400.Kia EV3 TeasersAt this size quotient, we can expect relatively affordable pricing. This way, EV3 is set to accelerate faster transition to EVs and play a crucial role in expanding company’s reputation as an electric car manufacturer for the masses.Kia EV6 will be launched later this year and is expected to go on sale immediately. World premiere is later this month on May 23rd, 2024. We can expect around 150 bhp motor drawing power from a 40 kWh to 45 kWh battery pack promising around 400 km to 500 km range on a single charge.New Kia EV3 Concept New Kia EV3 Concept More
