      by

      Hyundai Creta EV Interiors
      Most other features in the front row are largely the same as the new Creta. Some of the key highlights include a curvy dashboard, horizontally placed AC vents and dual 10.25-inch screens for the infotainment and instrument console.
      Hyundai Creta EV Interiors
      The central console of the test mule is still a work in progress setup, but it’s evident that most of the panel buttons are borrowed from the ICE Creta. Presence of physical buttons on the central console makes practical sense, although the polished interior aesthetics are slightly compromised in the process.

      by

The complainant mentions that the car won’t run even when the battery was showing 18%. Moreover, the normal drive mode could not be engaged. This occurred a couple of times.
      Hyderabad Nexon EV Fire Case
      At the Tata Motors authorized dealer and service centre, it was found that the HV (High Voltage) battery pack was depleted. A replacement was ordered, but it took more than a month. During this time, the owner was asked to drive the Nexon EV without letting the battery charge drop below 50%.

      Hyundai Ioniq 5: The Eco-Friendly Rival to Premium Luxury SUVs

      by

      Hyundai Ioniq 5One of the notable characteristics of Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the versatility of appealing to both driver-owners and then the chauffeured individuals
      The best-selling luxury car in India is an executive sedan, but the allure of luxury SUVs remains strong. Models like the Mercedes GLC, BMW X3, Audi Q5, and Jaguar F-Pace offer a solid blend of size, luxury, and price. However, mainstream brands like Hyundai are raising the bar, giving these luxury SUVs tough competition.
      In the Indian market, the fully-electric Hyundai Ioniq 5 is emerging as a strong contender. It rivals, and in some cases, surpasses these luxury SUVs in terms of size, performance, and comfort, all while being more competitively priced. Here’s why the Ioniq 5 could be a smarter choice in comparison to luxury SUVs.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Versatily
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Vs Premium Luxury SUVs
      The segment occupied by the Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Jaguar F-Pace is aspirational for many buyers. These models are among the top-selling luxury SUVs, making them an attractive choice for first-time luxury car buyers. Designed with a focus on the driver/owner experience rather than chauffeur-driven comfort, they cater to those who enjoy being behind the wheel. This is where the Hyundai Ioniq 5 offers a distinct advantage.
      The Ioniq 5 excels in versatility, making it equally appealing for both driver-owners and those who prefer to be chauffeured. While the luxury SUVs in this segment offer wheelbase between 2.8m and 2.9m, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 boasts a substantial 3m wheelbase. This extra length translates into exceptional space for both front and rear passengers, along with a generous boot capacity, making it a more practical yet luxurious option.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium Dashboard
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 goes the extra mile to ensure that chauffeur-driven owners are pampered in style. One of its standout features is the electrically operated “Boss Mode,” which allows the rear passenger to adjust the front seat for additional legroom. Rear-seat passengers also benefit from air conditioning vents positioned on the B-pillars, delivering airflow directly to the body—ideal for those who prefer to sit back and relax.
      The Ioniq 5 further enhances the passenger experience with a panoramic glass roof that floods the cabin with natural light, significantly amplifying the sense of space. Other features include rear sunshades, an electrically sliding seat base with a reclining seatback, a centre armrest, ambient lighting to create the perfect atmosphere, and a premium Bose audio system, ensuring every journey feels luxurious and enjoyable for chauffeur-driven owners.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Interiors
      The front-seat occupants of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 are equally well pampered. High-quality materials are used throughout the cabin, creating a premium feel. Twin 12.3-inch displays—one for infotainment and the other for instrumentation—provide a sleek, modern interface. The front also features a large drawer-style glove compartment and ample storage in the centre console, making it practical for daily use.
      A gear selector on the steering column adds convenience, while ventilated seats ensure comfort in hot weather. The Porsche-like mode selector adds a sporty touch, and the front seats offer an extreme-recline function for power naps during charging stops, a thoughtful feature that enhances the overall comfort and usability of the Ioniq 5.
      Performance, Pricing
      In terms of performance, all cars in this comparison—including the Ioniq 5—can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in a range between 6 and 8 seconds. While the Ioniq 5 may not be the fastest in this group, it does offer the best throttle response, thanks to its electric drivetrain. Unlike internal combustion engines, the Ioniq 5 delivers peak torque instantly, providing swift and seamless acceleration that feels incredibly responsive in real-world driving.
      2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5
      When it comes to pricing, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 significantly undercuts its luxury SUV rivals, despite being a fully electric vehicle. Starting at Rs 46.05 lakh (ex-showroom), the Ioniq 5 is approximately Rs 30 lakh more affordable than the most budget-friendly models from BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC, Audi Q5, and Jaguar F-Pace.
      This considerable price advantage, combined with the Ioniq 5’s versatility as both a chauffeur-driven and driver-centric vehicle, makes it an attractive alternative to traditional luxury SUVs. While it may lack the prestige of a luxury badge, the Ioniq 5 nearly matches its competitors in terms of premium features, build quality, and overall comfort. Additionally, the Ioniq 5 embraces eco-conscious values in its design and execution, a growing priority for Indian car buyers who are increasingly opting for sustainable and environmentally friendly choices.

      2025 Kia Carens Electric Spied With Facelift – New LED, Alloys

      by

      2025 Kia Carens ElectricThere is a good probability that 2025 Kia Carens Electric will share its battery and motor with upcoming Hyundai Creta EV
      If we take India’s mainstream electric car segment, Tata Motors is the driving force with around 65% of market share in August 2024. JSW MG Motor has been increasing its presence in electric cars with innovative BaaS Program. Now, Kia India seems to be joining the race with Carens EV, spied testing. Let’s take a look.
      2025 Kia Carens Electric Spied Testing
      Indian car buyers have been slowly adopting electric vehicles in their lives. The projected EV penetration in the market might not be as much as much as that of a new ICE vehicle. But more manufacturers are willing to experiment in the mainstream electric car segment.
      Kia Carens Facelift
      Latest entrant on this list is Kia with their upcoming Carens EV. Launched in 2022, Kia Carens will soon get a facelift with exterior revisions, as seen in the recent spy shots. Alongside Carens facelift, Kia India seems to be testing Carens EV as well, as indicated by the recent spy shots.
      What sets this particular test mule apart from previous ones is the fact that there is no visible exhaust lurking from underneath the rear bumper. There seems to be a new sophisticated suspension setup on this particular test mule, designed to bear additional weight of an electric car’s battery packs.
      Kia Carens Facelift Spied
      Beyond the suspension, there is a silver element which might be Carens EV’s battery pack. Carens EV will boast lower ground clearance as opposed to Carens’ 195 mm. We can expect around 45 kWh battery powering a sole electric motor powering front wheels only. There’s a good probability that Kia Carens EV will share powertrains with upcoming Creta EV.
      In these spy shots, we don’t see a rear electric motor as well. Where rivals are concerned, upcoming BYD eMax 7, seems to be the only one, going by size and seating layout is concerned. Speaking of, Kia Carens EV might come with both 6S and 7S options, expanding versatility.
      2024 Kia Carens Facelift Spied
      Design changes
      Like many electric cars sold in India, Kia Carens EV will share its sheet metal and platform with its ICE counterpart, the upcoming Carens facelift. Both Carens facelift and Carens EV are likely to get similar lighting elements along with most of the interiors attributes, features and creature comforts.
      While both will get EV5 inspired makeover, Carens electric may get certain distinguishing elements of its own. Like a closed-off grill, similar to Kia EV9 flagship electric SUV, which is slated to launch in India on October 3rd. Hyundai is also testing their first mass-market electric car, Creta EV, which will go on sale before Kia Carens EV.

      Mahindra XUV700 EV Interior Spied – Shows Triple Screen Layout

      by

      Mahindra XUV700 EV Interior SpiedMahindra XUV700 EV (XUV.e8) will primarily rival Harrier EV and Safari EV from Tata Motors – Launch will probably happen in 2025
      After launching Thar Roxx in India, Mahindra Auto is taking decent strides in expanding their portfolio. Soon, the company will launch a slew of EVs, starting with XUV.e8 (XUV700 EV), which has been spied in close-to-production form. These spy shots show car’s interiors and the massive triple-screen layout it will come equipped with. Let’s take a look.
      Mahindra XUV700 EV Interior Spied
      One of the most popular car manufacturers in India, Mahindra Auto, has been expanding its portfolio with innovative and trendy products. Based on their newly developed born-electric INGLO platform, Mahindra has showcased as many as five products spread across BE and XUV.e sub-brands.
      Mahindra XUV700 EV (XUV.e8)
      First of these five to launch, is likely to be XUV.e8, which is an electrified version of XUV700 ICE SUV already on sale. Test mules of Mahindra XUV700 EV have been frequent owing to intensified testing. The latest spy shots are thanks to automotive enthusiast Deepen Patwa who spotted this test mule in Nashik.
      Where design is concerned, Mahindra XUV.e8 is very closely associated with XUV700. Previous test mules have confirmed the same and the only design changes are likely to be concentrated at the front with a brand new fascia. New spy shots show car’s exteriors from the side and a glimpse of XUV.e8’s interior.
      Mahindra XUV700 EV Triple-screen Layout
      From the side, Mahindra XUV.e8 electric car gets a new set of alloy wheels, which have been spotted before. We can see similar flush door handles along with a charging port at the same location as XUV700’s fuel filler. Powertrain-wise, Mahindra XUV700 EV may get up to 80 kWh battery with around 500 km of claimed range. Previous spy shots have confirmed a rear motor on XUV.e8, hinting at a dual-motor AWD setup too.
      Triple display bonanza
      Main highlight of these spy shots is the dashboard which can be seen with minimal camouflage. The dashboard is dominated by three 10.25-inch (speculated) screens. Centre one is the main infotainment screen and will support touch inputs along with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay projection.
      mahindra XUV700 EV Rear
      The driver’s display will be a non-touch panel and will show car’s instrumentation along with a few vehicle-related details along with navigation info. The third screen will also be a touch panel, dedicated to front passenger. The functions of this display are still unknown and it is interesting to see how Mahindra implements it.
      Will this display act as an extension of main infotainment screen? Will it be a hybrid of both infotainment and instrumentation? Or, is it just a gimmick? Only time will tell. In these spy shots, this third display seems to be showing music or radio controls. Also, the driver looks like he is operating instrument screen by touch, which might not be the case. More
