    2024 Ford Bronco Raptor Code Orange Brings More Flair to the Braptor

    Ford revealed a new “Code Orange” styling package for the 2024 Bronco Raptor. The visual package adds orange accents throughout the interior and exterior of the Bronco.Order banks for the 2024 Bronco lineup are officially scheduled to open on August 16.Ford is adding some additional visual flair to the 2024 Bronco Raptor. The company revealed a new styling package dubbed Code Orange, and—yep—it adds a bunch of orange accents throughout the car. FordThe exterior of Code Orange–ified Braptors displays a tasteful amount of orange paint. The tow hooks and beadlock rings are finished in the color, and the rear half of the car is plastered with a digital graphic. Unfortunately, the package seems to add a bit more orange to the exterior of the car than the interior. Ford didn’t release interior photos, but the only mention of orange accents in the interior refers to pairing orange seatbelts with a black interior. We would’ve loved to see something a bit more daring like orange carpeting or orange cloth seats throughout the cabin.FordStarting in 2024, customers will also be able to order the Bronco Raptor with paint-matched fenders, something Ford says fulfills a consumer demand for a more customizable exterior. To that end, the Bronco Raptor adds two more paint colors in addition to the Code Orange package. Velocity Blue was previously offered on the standard Bronco and Bronco Sport, and now joins the Raptor lineup, as does Shelter Green, which Ford says is meant to recall its history of building off-road vehicles for the U.S. Army during World War II (Jeep, are you listening?). FordMore on the BraptorIn an attempt to the avoid long wait times that have impacted the Bronco in the past, Ford is reducing production complexity in an attempt to shorten manufacturing time, so certain equipment combinations might no longer be available. All 2024 Bronco models now come standard with a 12.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, replacing the previous 8.0-inch screen on lower trims, and the Badlands trim now comes standard with the upgraded modular front bumper. Order books for the 2024 Bronco lineup are scheduled to open on August 16, and Ford plans to announce pricing specifics then.

    TVS Raider 125 Super Squad EditionThe Rs. 98,919 (ex-sh) for TVS Raider 125 Super Squad Edition puts it below top-spec SX variant that sports a 5″ TFT screen with SmartXonnect suiteRaider 125 is one of the most appealing products in the 125cc segment. It is the only one with a 3V head and the only one with an oil-cooling setup (without a radiator). More brownie points are in the form of a new 5” TFT instrument display that is unheard of in its segment and a few segments above it.TVS is now adding more value to the equation through a strategic collaboration with Marvel. Raider 125 now gets two different Super Squad Edition variants. TVS has priced them both at Rs. 98,919 (ex-sh). TVS’ media release doesn’t specify what trim the company is launching Super Squad Edition with.TVS Raider 125 Super Squad Edition – Iron ManTVS Raider 125 Super Squad Edition LaunchedStandard Raider 125 costs Rs. 95,219 for base Single Seat variant, Rs. 96,219 for Split Seat variant and Rs. 1,01,570 for top-spec SX variant (all prices are ex-sh, Delhi). All variants get front disc brake. Only the top-spec SX variant gets the 5” TFT screen with TVS’ proprietary SmartXonnect connectivity suite as standard fitment.Going by these prices, it is likely that TVS Raider 125 Super Squad Edition is a stylised version of Split Seat variant. So, Super Squad Edition is probably missing TVS’ famed instrument cluster. The same strategy is in place with Ntorq 125 scooter as well. Where the twin-screen SmartXonnect system is not on offer with Super Squad Edition.TVS Raider 125 Super Squad Edition – Black PantherWhat Super Squad Edition does get, is for buyers to show their affiliation in terms of their favourite Marvel character. TVS seems to be targeting Gen Z buyers among whom Marvel Cinematic Universe is a hot topic owing to the series of blockbuster movies and TV shows that air from them.As of now, TVS is offering just two Super Squad Edition versions with Raider 125. They are Iron Man and Black Panther inspired versions. Raider 125 now gets new graphics that signify either Iron Man or Black Panther. TVS could launch similar versions with Thor, Captain America and Spider-Man in the future as well.Avengers, assemble!Mechanically, Super Squad Edition variants are identical to standard Raider 125. We’re talking about the same 124.8cc 3-valve, single-cylinder engine with an innovative oil cooling setup. 11.2 bhp of power and 11.2 Nm of torque along with a 5-speed gearbox is identical to the standard model.

    Honda X-Blade Discontinued – Replaced By New SP160

    Honda X-Blade DiscontinuedIt is probable that factors like low sales and launch of new SP160 could have prompted the discontinuation of Honda X-BladeIt is a standard process for OEMs to update their portfolio based on market dynamics and evolving consumer preferences. Honda recently launched all-new SP160 in the price range of Rs 1.17 lakh to Rs 1.22 lakh. Honda has now made another change by removing X-Blade from its website.It is likely that X-Blade has been discontinued for good. Inability to generate desired sales numbers could be one of the reasons for such a move. In 160cc motorcycle segment, much of Honda’s sales are contributed by Unicorn. It will be interesting to see if newly launched SP160 can deliver similar results.Focus on SP160It is possible that Honda may have removed X-Blade from its website on a temporary basis. As may be recalled, Honda has been working to upgrade its portfolio to comply with the stricter OBD2 emission norms and E20 ethanol-mix fuel. In June, Honda launched updated versions of Shine 125 and Unicorn. Based on market feedback, it is possible that Honda may bring back X-Blade at a later date.As of now, it appears that Honda wants to clear the road for all-new SP160. In that context, discontinuation of X-Blade seems relevant. But there is no official word from the company or whether X-Blade will make a comeback. With X-Blade removed from Honda’s website, users now have the option to choose either Unicorn or SP160. While Unicorn is popular, the idea of trying something new may attract customers towards SP160. While Unicorn has a well-rounded profile, SP160 is relatively a lot more flamboyant.New Honda SP160X-Blade too had a sporty profile, just as good as other popular bikes like Pulsar and Apache. Some of the key features included robo-face LED headlamp with powerful illumination, sculpted fuel tank, sharp body panelling, sporty graphics, upswept exhaust, sleek grab rails and edgy tail lamp.Colour options included Sports Red, Strontium Silver Metallic, Matte Marvel Blue Metallic and Matte Steel Black Metallic. The bike had features such as full digital instrument console, side stand engine cut-off, engine stop switch, ABS and hazard switch.X-Blade had the same 160cc platformWith the stricter BS6 Phase 2 emission norms, Honda’s 162.71cc engine has slightly reduced power and torque output. When last available, X-Blade numbers were at 13.86 PS of max power and 14.7 Nm of peak torque. With the OBD2 compliance, the engine now produces 13.46 PS and 14.58 Nm. Both Unicorn and new SP160 share the same numbers.After SP160 gains traction and desired fan following, Honda could think about bringing back X-Blade with OBD-2 compliance. SP160 seems to have potential and deserves all the support it can get. Especially when the festive season is just around the corner. In terms of emission compliance, there have been various instances where products were removed and later reintroduced in updated form. It remains to be seen what exactly Honda is planning for X-Blade. More

    Tested: Why Teslas Show Unrealistic Range Estimates Compared with Other EVs

    C/D testing data shows a difference between Tesla and other EVs in how the car displays the estimated range remaining.Tesla’s displays appear to operate on a simple calculation of EPA range multiplied by the battery’s state of charge, while other EVs continuously adjust to account for driving conditions. We compared test results from our 75-mph real-world highway range test to uncover this disparity between Tesla and EVs from other automakers including Lucid, BMW, and Hyundai.A recent report from Reuters alleges that Tesla “rigged” the software in its cars to overestimate the estimated range remaining, leaving drivers disappointed when their vehicles couldn’t travel as far on a charge as advertised. A few California owners have now filed a proposed class-action lawsuit seeking unspecified damages.In Car and Driver range testing, we found distinct differences in the way that Tesla EVs’ in-dash range displays operate compared with those from other automakers’ EV models. Put simply, Teslas don’t adjust the numbers on their range display to account for recent driving conditions in the same way that other EVs do.Range display in a Tesla Model 3Michael Simari|Car and DriverWe analyzed test results for several different models in our real-world 75-mph highway range test, in which we measure, every 5 miles, the indicated battery state of charge percentage remaining, the number of miles traveled, and the car’s estimated range remaining.Because highway driving is less efficient than city driving, many EVs experience fluctuations in the car’s estimated range remaining, or distance to empty (DTE). The estimated range remaining often drops precipitously, and also inconsistently, as the car takes into account the higher speeds and lower efficiency of highway driving. That’s not the case with Tesla vehicles.In a 2021 Tesla Model S Plaid, for instance, the car’s displayed range estimate falls at a remarkably consistent rate throughout the test. It starts off with an indicated 100 percent charge and an estimated range of 350 miles. For every 5 miles traveled, the predicted range drops by more than 5 miles at a time, but it does so at a rate consistent with a very simple formula: the battery’s state of charge multiplied by the EPA-estimated range of 348 miles. Throughout the test, the indicated range never deviates more than 2 miles in either direction from this calculation. We’ve noted a similarly linear pattern in our tests of other Tesla models including a Model 3 and a Model Y. However, with a destination entered, the predicted battery state-of-charge shown in the navigation system is more realistic, but it doesn’t affect the miles-to-empty readout. 2023 Lucid Air Pure AWDMarc Urbano|Car and DriverOther electric vehicles show far more deviation in their DTE displays. In a 2023 Lucid Air Pure AWD, the display shows a 100 percent charge and an indicated range of 376 miles at the beginning of the test, against an EPA-rated range of 384 miles. The deviation between the indicated range and the expected EPA range fluctuates widely through the test, sometimes indicating a difference of just 1 mile below the expected EPA range but at another point growing to a difference of over 12 miles. This indicates that the car’s computer is adjusting the range estimate both upward and downward to account for differences in driving style, temperature, and other drive-cycle factors. Our test results for vehicles from other automakers including GM, Hyundai-Kia, and BMW show a similar pattern.Of course, there are also inconsistencies in EPA range estimates to begin with, and there’s no perfect formula for estimating a vehicle’s range. (See our previous story on the secret adjustment factor that Tesla uses for more details on how the company gets such big range ratings to begin with.) But while Tesla isn’t the only automaker that is aggressive with EPA labeling, this difference in how its cars estimate the displayed range in the vehicle is at best optimistic and at worst misleading.More on EV RangeSenior EditorDespite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee. He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine.

    Hero Karizma XMR 210 Switchgear – Digital Instrument Screen Spied

    Hero Karizma XMR 210 SwitchgearHero Karizma’s latest spy shots reveal D-pad like buttons on left switchgear, that could control the larger instrument screenAfter conquering the budget commuter segment with Splendor, Passion, HF and Glamour range of motorcycles, Hero seems to be eying the premium segment. We’re talking about the company’s portfolio 160cc and above, which has seen lower sales.Now, Hero intends to change that with a combination of new launches. We saw Xpulse 200T 4V, Xtreme 160R 4V, Xtreme 200S 4V, 2023 version of Xpulse 200 Pro and regular models as well. At the flagship end, we will see the Karizma XMR 210 fully-faired motorcycle. New info regarding this bike has surfaced. Let’s take a look.2023 Hero Karizma ZMRHero Karizma XMR 210 Switchgear & Instrument ScreenThe company’s quest to improve quality is evident with the recent updates. These include better switchgear than before, more thoughtful quality-of-life features and ironed-out smaller niggles. For example, 2023 Xpulse 200 4V featured ABS modes and better quality switchgear, while the instrument screen unit was identical to the preceding model. Karizma XMR 210 will feature a brand new instrument screen, which is a lot taller than before, yielding much greater screen real estate.The new spy shots show a larger screen, which could be squarish in its appearance. Bigger size screen would ensure logical assignment of various information. Being a flagship, it is likely to get Bluetooth connectivity along with turn-by-turn navigation and notification alerts.New Hero Karizma DetailsIf it is a TFT screen, we could have real-time map data on the screen, instead of just basic turn suggestions. In the spy shots, we can see clip-on handlebars, fairing-mounted ORVMs, a decent windscreen, sleek LED turn indicators and brand-new switchgear.Are these D-pad buttons to control a TFT screen?Speaking of switchgear, the right module has a hazard light function and starter switch. But the left module shows a D-pad-like button that could potentially control various functions of the new instrument console. If these really are D-pad buttons, then the possibility of the new screen being a more advanced one increases considerably.Apart from that, Karizma XMR 210 will miss out on USD telescopic front forks, gets single petal disc setup at either end, LED lighting all around, sporty seating and ergonomics, a handsome fairing, alloy wheels and more. The engine gets liquid cooling and could feature 4 valves per cylinder too. SOHC setup is more likely than slightly complicated and heavy DOHC.Power figures could be near 25 bhp and 25 Nm. A 6-speed gearbox is likely as well. The new motorcycle will take on the likes of Bajaj Pulsar RS200, Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and others. New Karizma Launch is scheduled for 29th Aug 2023.Source More
