      Tesla India Cancels 9-Yr-Old Reservation – New Bookings To Commence Soon?

      by

      New Tesla Model Y Juniper
      While Tesla’s entry into India has been perennially delayed since 2016, recent developments indicate a strong possibility of a launch in 2025
      It was in 2016 that Tesla had started accepting pre bookings for the Model 3 in India. Early adopters from top cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru were on the radar. However, due to multiple reasons including high import duty, the launch never happened. Tesla is now cancelling and refunding all old bookings including the ones made in 2016. Does this indicate a potential commencement of new bookings? Let’s find out.
      Reservation cancellation email from Tesla
      In an email sent to one of the early reservation holders of the Model 3, Tesla mentions that many of their products have been replaced over the years and new products have also been launched. Among the ones that have been replaced with upgraded versions is the original Model 3 that was introduced in 2017. The sedan has received multiple incremental updates and a major facelift (Highland refresh) in 2023-2024.
      Tesla India Cancel 9-Yr-Old Reservation.
      As per the email, Tesla is offering a refund of the reservation fee. Tesla has mentioned that the brand will reach out in the market again after they have finalized their product offerings in India. This statement can be considered a strong hint of a launch in the near future. Reservation holders have been asked to provide their banking and other details, so that the refund can be processed in a prompt manner.
      Why Tesla’s India launch seems likely in 2025?
      Apart from the cancellation of old reservations for Model 3, there have been various other developments that indicate a potential launch in 2025. For example, Tesla has finalized its first showroom in India at the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai. BKC is one of the most premium commercial spaces in Mumbai. Tesla has leased around 4,000 square feet, with monthly rental at Rs 35 lakh and 5% annual increase. Tesla is also looking to set up similar-sized showrooms in other Indian cities such as Delhi.
      Another strong indicator of Tesla’s entry into India is the initiation of the homologation process for Model 3 and Model Y. Tesla will be importing these cars as CBUs in the initial phase. Based on market response and demand, local assembly or local manufacturing could be considered at a later date. Outside of the United States, Tesla has manufacturing facilities in China and Germany. The CBUs to be shipped to India are likely to be sourced from Tesla’s Gigafactory in Berlin, Germany.
      Tesla and other global EV brands will also benefit from the relaxed EV import policy. Import duty will be reduced from 70–100% earlier to just 15%, applicable on premium EVs. This policy shift will be beneficial for Tesla and other brands that plan to use the CBU route in the initial phase.
      There are also talks about a trade deal between India and the USA. Negotiations are said to be progressing in a positive manner and the trade deal could be announced by the end of this year. This trade deal could further benefit companies like Tesla. More

      MG Windsor Pro First Drive Review – Icing On The Cake

      by

      MG Windsor Pro First Drive ReviewWithin India’s electric car segment, there are multiple players. Some are former dominators but have lost major market share and some are on their journey to be the country’s best-selling electric car brand. JSW MG Motor India falls in the latter category and has found great success with Windsor EV, which is already India’s best-selling electric car.
      Improving on their offering further, MG has just launched Windsor EV Pro, which is a, well, a Pro version of Windsor EV. We experienced this vehicle as part of the national media drive organised by MG Motor. While it is vastly familiar, Windsor EV Pro addresses some of the shortcomings that media and buyers expressed with Windsor. After driving this vehicle across Assam and Meghalaya, here’s what we think about this new EV.
      MG Windsor Pro
      MG Windsor Pro First Drive Review
      We should start with the pricing, as they have been announced already. MG’s introductory prices have ended as the first 8,000 bookings came well within a day. MG Windsor Pro has been priced at Rs 18.1 lakh (Ex-sh) without BaaS pricing and Rs 13.09 lakh + Rs 4.5 per km with BaaS pricing with battery as a rental service.
      MG Windsor Pro
      There are three new colours with Windsor Pro – Celadon Blue, Glaze Red and Aurora Silver. Of these three, Glaze Red is likely to garner a lot of bookings as it looked quite eye-candy. Windsor Pro gets a new design for the 18-inch alloy wheels that looks like it could be lighter than what is offered with Windsor. Another change with Windsor Pro is an ADAS badge in Red highlights.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Design changes
      Where design is concerned, those are the only changes and Windsor Pro continues to smite buyers with its premium flair and roomy silhouette. It is still the same size too. The only other exterior change is that it now gets an electrically operated tailgate which ups the premium quotient providing access to its massive boot. Other than this, it is virtually identical to Windsor, which you might already be familiar with.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Even on the inside, there are no real changes other than the fact that it now gets Black and Ivory dual-tone upholstery. Even though Ivory upholstery is hard to keep clean, it is a welcome change as it makes the cabin look and feel roomier and adds a flair of sophistication too. The new Ivory shade and Windsor’s Infinity View glass roof transforms lend an airy feel.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Other features continue to be the same on the inside, which is not a bad thing. The 2,700 mm long wheelbase carves out a lot of room for all occupants and rear seats still recline up to 135 degrees for a lounge-like experience. This cabin is ergonomic and it is well thought out. It gets soft-touch plastics, a floating centre console with storage and premium touches for AC vent knobs, power window switches and many more.
      MG Windsor Pro
      The 15.6-inch free-standing infotainment screen is still slick to use and controls almost all the vehicular functions including headlights, ventilated seat controls and a lot more. Once you get used to it, the circular pod controls on steering wheel, infotainment screen and instrument cluster all feel like second nature and the learning curve is not that steep.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Added Pro Features
      Main addition in terms of technology is not V2L (Vehicle to Load) or V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle), but it is the Level-2 ADAS suite. This was one of the main feedbacks with the Windsor EV, which MG has worked on rather quickly. MG, as a brand, is known for its advances in ADAS suite in Indian car market and democratising it for the masses.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Now, Windsor Pro has autonomous features like auto emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, auto high beam assist and many others. We tried them out during our time with this vehicle on the highways and city roads and they work as advertised. Lane keep assist is not for twisty hill station roads as we had in Assam and Meghalaya, but should work very reliably on regular roads with an added safety net.
      MG Windsor Pro
      A larger 52.9 kWh battery pack powers Windsor Pro, which is 39.2% larger than Windsor’s 38 kWh battery pack. With the larger battery pack, MG is claiming a 449 km range on a single charge, which is 35.64% more range than Windsor’s 331 km promised range. Higher range should act as a deterrent for range anxiety and eHUB by MG app has emerged as a key aspect in EV transitions.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Performance & Dynamics
      When we started the journey in the morning, our Windsor Pro review unit had 99% charge and it was indicating 400+ km of range on a single charge. At the end of our journey, Windsor Pro’s battery SOC was at 44% and it was still showing a 187 km range left. In our experience, we found it quite close to reality and one could expect around 400 km of real-world range with MG Windsor Pro if driven sanely.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Speaking of driving, there haven’t been any changes in the performance department. It continues to be powered by a sole 134 bhp and 200 Nm electric motor, driving front wheels only. There are multiple drive modes and Sport unlocks all the performance. 0-100 km/h spring can be done in around 10 seconds and instant acceleration is quite addictive. Regen braking is very effective as well and one can adjust regen level as per their liking.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Dynamically, Windsor Pro remains more or less the same as Windsor EV. The hilly roads we took in Assam and Meghalaya tempted us to push this vehicle harder around corners. But we realised that corner carving is not Windsor Pro’s forte and it is not designed for spirited driving either. For intended use, Windsor Pro rides and handles quite well. We just wished bump absorption was a little better as it can get slightly unsettling once the speeds go up.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Conclusion
      We just wished there were more features added with Windsor Pro, which was not the case. Primary of these is a rear washer and wiper, which continues to be a baffling omission. We didn’t feel the need for it when we drove Windsor in Gurgaon last year. We missed rear wiper a lot in Assam and Meghalaya where it rains cats and dogs. The other feature we expected was rear ventilated seats, which definitely sounds like a Pro feature to have in a market like India.
      MG Windsor Pro
      Other than these, Windsor Pro is a significant step up from Windsor and can easily emerge as a phenomenon and probably even make JSW MG Motor India, the country’s best-selling electric car manufacturer. It has a lot of things going for it and a larger battery promising higher range along with an added safety net from Level-2 ADAS suite is the icing on the cake. More

      MG Windsor Pro 8K Bookings Done In 24 Hrs – New Prices

      by

      MG Windsor ProIntroductory price of Rs 17.50 lakh was applicable on the first 8000 bookings, after which, prices were increased by Rs 60,000
      Launched on 6th May, MG Windsor Pro packs in a larger battery pack (more range), new features and enhanced safety with ADAS. Bookings opened on 8th May, and all 8,000 units allocated under the introductory price offer were sold out within 24 hours. This is one of the highest number of bookings in a day for an electric car in India.
      MG Windsor Pro 8K Bookings – Updated prices
      For the first 8,000 buyers, MG Windsor Pro was offered at an introductory price of Rs 17.49 lakh. With the BaaS model, the introductory price was Rs 12.49 lakh + Rs 4.5 / km (battery rental). With prices increased by Rs 60,000 after the introductory offer, new prices are Rs 18.10 lakh for the standard model and Rs 13.09 lakh + Rs 4.5 / km with the BaaS ownership option.
      MG Windsor Pro receiving 8,000 bookings within 24 hours is a significant milestone. Earlier, the standard MG Windsor EV, launched in October 2024, had registered 15,176 bookings within 24 hours. This was the highest at that time for a new electric car in India. These numbers highlight the growing popularity of MG Windsor, which is currently the top selling electric car in India. The combo of competitive pricing and flexible ownership options are among the key drivers for the EV’s success.
      MG Windsor Pro Battery
      With Windsor sales booming, MG Motor is ranked second in the list of best selling EV brands in the country. In April, the company registered sales of 3,488 units. YoY growth was an impressive 175%, as compared to 1,268 units sold in the year-ago period. MG currently has a market share of around 28% in India’s EV market. With the Windsor Pro model, sales could gain more traction in the coming months.
      MG Windsor Pro – What’s new?
      One of the key updates is a larger 52.9 kWh battery pack, offering an ARAI-certified range of 449 km. In comparison, the standard Windsor EV is equipped with a 38-kWh battery pack, offering a range of 331 km. With the increased range, users will feel more comfortable when planning intercity journeys. The number of recharges needed every week for city commutes will reduce as well. MG Windsor Pro range is now closer to that of rivals such as Tata Nexon EV (489 km).
      Safety has been enhanced with 12 ADAS functions. It includes traffic jam assist (TJA), adaptive cruise control (ACC) with bend cruise assistance (BCA), lane departure warning (LDW), lane departure prevention (LDP), lane keep assist (LKA), forward collision warning (FCW), autonomous emergency braking (AEB), intelligent hydraulic braking assistance (IHBA) and intelligent headlamp control (IHC).
      MG Windsor Pro Interiors
      MG Windsor Pro also gets additional features such as vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) charging, vehicle-to-load (V2L) and a powered tailgate. It also gets new alloy wheels. Three new colour options are available – Celadon Blue, Aurora Silver and Glaze Red. Inside, MG Windsor Pro gets dual-tone ivory interiors for a more premium feel. In comparison, the standard Windsor EV has all-black upholstery. Apart from these, other features of Windsor Pro are the same as the standard Windsor EV. More

      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants Spied En Route Showrooms

      by

      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants Spied
      Poised to be India’s highest-selling electric SUV brand, Mahindra Auto has launched BE 6 and XEV 9e in the country. These have already emerged as popular choices, offering people a taste of RWD fun along with a plethora of safety, features and eye-candy design. Mahindra is now the third highest-selling electric car maker in India.
      However, Mahindra has only commenced the deliveries of the top-spec Pack Three trim. There could be a significant boost in sales and volume once the mid-spec and base-spec trims also start deliveries. Now, lower variants of Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e have been spied en route showrooms ahead of deliveries. Let’s take a closer look.
      Strategy to boost sales?
      Mahindra has recently revealed that more than 75% of the bookings come from the top-spec Pack Three trims. Also, the footfall into the showrooms has not been able to convert into bookings concerning lower trims. That is because Pack Two and Pack One display units have not yet reached dealerships.
      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants Spied
      These recent developments might be the company’s measured strategy to line up display units of Pack Two variants in the showrooms as the deliveries are nearing. This will help boost bookings of lower trims and boost overall volume for Mahindra. The company is considering launching larger 79 kWh battery pack variants with lower trims as well.
      BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants
      How does one identify a lower variant of BE 6 and XEV 9e? We ask this because Mahindra has kept the equipment list for lower trims quite generous. They get large wheels (18-inch with BE 6 and 19-inch with XEV 9e) with stylish wheel covers, premium finish on the cladding, LED lighting all around and the same dominating appearance as top-spec trims.
      These recent spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiast Rahul Bhosale who spotted them at Pune-Nashik highway. They show lower trims of XEV 9e and BE 6. One main giveaway is the pixel-painted Black roof option, which is only limited to Pack Three and Pack Three Select trims. Pack Two, Pack One Above and base Pack One do not get this design element.
      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants Spied
      The XEV 9e and BE 6 units spied recently do not feature this Black roof option, which could only mean that they are from a trim level below Pack Three Select, in the hierarchy. These are highly likely to be Pack Two, deliveries to which, are set to start in July 2025, after the deliveries of Pack Three Select start in June 2025. More

      MG Windsor Pro Bookings Open – First 8,000 Buyers Get Intro Prices

      by

      MG Windsor Pro
      JSW MG Motor India is expanding their portfolio to take home the best-selling electric car manufacturer tag, which is currently in Tata Motors’ hands. Specifically, they’re expanding Windsor’s variant lineup to include a new and better-equipped Windsor Pro, which was launched recently.
      Only the first 8,000 customers will get the rather attractive introductory pricing offered with Windsor Pro. Bookings for this vehicle have commenced and buyers can reserve themselves a better-equipped version of India’s best-selling electric vehicle.
      MG Windsor Pro Bookings Open
      With the launch of Windsor Pro, JSW MG Motor India is on a mission to etch its name in India’s electric vehicle landscape. The company seems to have heard feedback from buyers and then improved upon what was already established as the country’s best-selling electric car for some time now.
      MG Windsor Pro Interiors
      Introductory price of Windsor Pro is Rs 17.49 lakh (Ex-sh) without any battery rental programs for the first 8,000 buyers. With BaaS (Battery as a Service) program, one can buy a Windsor Pro for Rs 12.49 lakh and Rs 4.5 per kilometre driven as battery rental fees. This has proved to be a game changer, differentiating MG from other EV makers operating in India.
      Windsor Pro is based on Essence Pro trim level and it gets three new colours – Celadon Blue, Glaze Red and Aurora Silver. Except for the new colours the only new change you can spot in a Windsor Pro from a standard Windsor is the new alloy wheel design and an ADAS badge on the tailgate. That is because MG Windsor Pro now comes with Level-2 ADAS suite.
      Added features
      Other notable changes with Windsor Pro are the addition of V2L (Vehicle to Load) and V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) features, which were not on offer with standard Windsor. Then there’s the larger 52.9 kWh battery pack, with a max range increased to 449 km on a single charge. This is a welcome addition and will attract more buyers towards Windsor Pro.
      MG Windsor Pro Interiors
      The main change on the inside is that MG is offering a dual-tone Black and Ivory theme. Seat upholstery is now Ivory shade which might be hard to keep clean, but is much cooler than a Black seat. Ventilated front seats, 2,700 mm wheelbase, 135-degree reclining rear seats, electrically operated tailgate and more. More

      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Lower Variants Might Get Larger 79kWh Battery

      by

      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9eOne of India’s leading car manufacturers, Mahindra Auto, is charging (pun intended) into the country’s electric vehicle segment. Recently launched BE 6 and XEV 9e have yielded excellent results for the brand, but they can always achieve more. That’s probably the reason why Mahindra is considering expanding variant lineup of BE 6 and XEV 9e.
      These new variants will reportedly be based on lower trim levels of BE 6 and XEV 9e, but pack the larger 79 kWh battery pack that is currently only offered with the higher trim levels. That could change soon as the lower trims of BE 6 and XEV 9e might also get the option of the larger battery pack.
      BE 6 and XEV 9e Variants
      As things stand, Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e are offered in Pack One, Pack One Above, Pack Two, Pack Three Select and Pack Three trim levels. Deliveries of Pack Three have commenced, while bookings for all trim levels have been opened. Deliveries of Pack Three Select will start in June, Pack Two in July, Pack One Above and Pack One in August.
      Since deliveries began in March 2025, Mahindra has sold 6,300+ units of BE 6 and XEV 9e. As revealed by the company, more than 75% of total bookings are for the top-spec Pack Three trim. This may be because buyers who are smitten by BE 6 and XEV 9e know that only Pack Three deliveries have commenced.
      Mahindra BE 6 and XEV 9e Prices
      This lean in the bookings towards Pack Three could also be due to the fact that it is solely offered with the larger 79 kWh battery pack that promises up to 683 km or 500+ km in real world. A recent report reveals that customers have been asking for an extended range from larger 79 kWh battery pack in lower variants.
      New variants incoming?
      This shift in priority from features and creature comforts to driving range is really interesting. This might shift the perspectives for Mahindra which might consider launching a 79 kWh battery pack with lower trim levels to make a higher range accessible to a larger audience. This may also boost sales for the brand and position it as India’s best-selling EV brand, up from #3 position in April 2025.
      Since Pack Two and Pack One variants are not on display, it is proving rather tough to convert footfall into the showroom into bookings. This could change once deliveries of said trims start or display units start to reach showrooms. Once launched, 79 kWh battery variants of Pack One and Pack Two might bring more volumes for the brand than Pack Three is currently bringing.

      2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Spied Testing – Launch Around Festive Season

      by

      2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SpiedIn addition to cosmetic touch-ups and new features, Ioniq 5 also gets a larger battery pack option with higher range
      Across multiple international markets, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 facelift is already on sale. Launch in India is expected later this year, probably around August-September period. Ahead of that, Ioniq 5 updated model has been spotted again on road tests. Let’s uncover the key updates expected with Hyundai Ioniq 5 facelift. Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Nitheesh for sharing the exclusive spy shots.
      Ioniq 5 facelift – Exterior updates
      Changes can be seen across the front and rear, along with new alloy wheels featuring enhanced aerodynamic design. The air intake at the front is wider and comes with a distinctive V-shaped garnish. Rear bumper has a more sculpted design and it appears that the parking sensors have been relocated. Aerodynamic performance is improved with an extended rear spoiler that is 50 mm longer than earlier.
      2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Spied
      Dimensions remain largely the same, excluding only the length that measures 20 mm more with the new model. Ioniq 5 facelift is 4,655 mm long, 1,890 mm wide, 1,605 mm tall and has a wheelbase of 3,000 mm. Apart from these updates, there are no other major visual changes to the Ioniq 5 facelift.
      Refreshed interiors, equipment upgrades
      Ioniq 5 facelift focuses on enhancing user comfort and convenience. The centre console gets some physical buttons, as compared to mostly touch-based controls available earlier. The physical buttons are more practical when it comes to accessing frequently used functions like parking assist, heated steering wheel and ventilated seats. Another key update is the repositioning of the wireless smartphone charging pad to the top of the centre console.
      2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Spied
      Ioniq 5 facelift gets the more advanced Connected Car Navigation Cockpit (ccNC) infotainment system. It has navigation, enhanced graphics and support for OTA updates and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The steering wheel is a new 3-spoke unit, featuring responsive pixel lighting for improved visual feedback.
      2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Spied
      Users can expect smoother rides with the Ioniq 5 facelift as updates have been introduced across the body structure and suspension setup. For example, the stiffer cowl crossbar minimizes steering wheel vibrations. Similarly, enforcements around the rear wheels and underbody have been doubled to improve stability and agility. Body stiffness has been increased to minimize low-frequency noise. Rear motor gets more robust sound insulation to improve cabin quietness.
      Safety kit has been updated with 8 airbags and improved collision avoidance system. The EV is now better protected against side impacts with structural improvements across B-pillar sections, body shell and front and rear doors.

      Larger battery gives more range
      Across international markets, Hyundai Ioniq 5 facelift gets a larger 84 kWh battery pack option. As per WLTP standards, the RWD variant has a range of 570 km. It remains to be seen if Hyundai introduces this larger battery pack option in India as well. As of now, the Ioniq 5 in India utilizes a 72.6 kWh battery pack. Power and torque output remains unchanged at 217 PS and 350 Nm for the RWD variant in India.
