      Mahindra XUV3XO EV Spied – Launch Nears

      by

      2025 Mahindra XUV3XO EV SpiedAfter the much-needed transition from XUV300 to XUV3XO, Mahindra has made significant advances in the sub 4m SUV segment. Now, Mahindra is poised to further enhance its appeal in the sub 4m SUV space with the launch of XUV3XO EV, which is the spiritual successor of XUV400 currently on sale in India. Let’s take a closer look.
      Mahindra XUV3XO EV Spied Testing
      You must be wondering why this article revolves around sub 4m SUV segment while XUV400 has been a larger 4.2m vehicle. That is because Mahindra is shrinking its entry-level electric SUV in size and is making it a direct rival to Tata’s Nexon EV. This will also position it below BE 6 in company’s electric SUV lineup.
      2025 Mahindra XUV3XO EV Spied
      The recent spy shots by automotive enthusiast Mayur Sinh Rana from Rajkot who spotted this test mule on Rajkot-Ahmedabad Highway. This test mule was fully camouflaged to conceal its identity. However, it looks almost identical to XUV3XO ICE version which was launched last year. Even the size of upcoming XUV3XO EV matches that of XUV3XO ICE.
      The only real advantage of offering the larger 4.2m length (apart from more pleasing proportions) with XUV400 was boot space. Mahindra has tackled this issue when transitioning XUV300 to XUV3XO taking the boot space from 257L to up to 364L by offering a skinny space-saver spare wheel and loading beyond the rear seat backrest height.
      2025 Mahindra XUV3XO EV Spied
      Now, the company can achieve better cost efficiency as all exterior and interior sheet metal panels and plastic trims are shared between ICE and EV models. Just like XUV400, XUV3XO EV’s charging port is on front left quarter panel. XUV3XO EV packs unique alloy wheel designs when compared to its ICE counterpart.
      Same design as XUV3XO ICE
      All exterior lighting elements and features will be shared between ICE and EV models and the same is expected with interiors. Mahindra might introduce a few Blue or Copper highlights to signify its electric powertrain. Other than that, XUV3XO EV will feature the most premium cabin in sub 4m space with soft-touch plastics and more.
      2025 Mahindra XUV3XO EV Spied
      Where features are concerned, we can expect the same 10.2-inch infotainment screen, 10.2-inch instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control, rear AC vents, panoramic sunroof, camera-based Level-2 ADAS, 360-degree cameras, powered driver’s seat, leatherette upholstery, cruise control, auto-dimming IRVM and more.
      Powertrains-wise, XUV3XO EV is likely to retain its 34.5 kWh (375 km range) and 39.4 kWh (456 km range) battery pack options. The main highlight of XUV3XO will be its electric motor which offers around 150 PS of peak power and a staggering 310 Nm of peak torque for blistering acceleration. Now that XUV3XO EV is smaller, it could be lighter and the acceleration could be even better. Launch is likely around festive season. More

      2025 Jawa 42 FJ Spied Without Dual Exhaust

      by

      2025 Jawa 42 FJ Spied With Single ExhaustWith the updated exhaust setup, 2025 Jawa 42 FJ will be lighter, offering a higher power-to-weight ratio and more agile handling
      In the competitive sub-middleweight motorcycle segment, unique features can help draw in enthusiasts. A relevant example is Jawa 42 FJ, which uses a dual exhaust setup. While single-cylinder bikes typically don’t require dual exhausts, having them enhances the retro feel. However, based on recent spy shots, it appears that Jawa may be going back to the standard single exhaust setup. Let’s look at the possibilities.
      2025 Jawa 42 FJ spied
      As is evident from the image, the 2025 Jawa 42 FJ does not have an exhaust on the left side. On top of that, the single exhaust on the right side is not clearly visible. It is possible that the new 2025 Jawa 42 FJ could also get an underbelly exhaust. Due to the low-resolution image or possibly an optical illusion, it’s difficult to confirm the presence of a right-side exhaust.
      2025 Jawa 42 FJ Spied With Single Exhaust
      However, since Jawa 42 FJ leans heavily on retro styling, a single exhaust setup is more likely. The retro aesthetics are evident with the circular headlamp, classic teardrop fuel tank design, long exhaust pipe and broad rear fender. Moreover, all the popular 350cc bikes from rival brands utilize a single exhaust setup. Using an underbelly exhaust may actually alienate enthusiasts who prefer the retro look and feel.
      Single exhaust benefits
      With a single exhaust setup, users can expect multiple benefits from 2025 Jawa 42 FJ. The bike will become lightweight, effectively enhancing agility and overall control and handling. Users will find it easier to navigate the bike through tight spaces such as heavy traffic and packed parking slots.
      2025 Jawa 42 FJ Spied With Single Exhaust
      With less weight, the power-to-weight ratio will also go up. Powering the bike is a 334cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine that generates 29.17 PS and 29.62 Nm of torque. It is mated to a constant mesh 6-speed gearbox.
      Since the dual-exhaust setup is largely a cosmetic feature, switching to a single exhaust can help reduce production costs. It is unlikely to result in any major tweaks to the powertrain components and other related parts. The existing Jawa 42 FJ dual-channel ABS variant is available at a starting price of Rs 2.15 lakh. Users can choose from a total of six colour options.
      New Jawa 42 FJ Spied With Single Exhaust
      No other changes detected
      Excluding the single-sided exhaust setup, there don’t appear to be any other changes in 2025 Jawa 42 FJ. The bike is a more stylized and powerful version of the standard Jawa 42. Some of the key features include a round LED headlamp, telescopic front forks, a single-piece seat, a split grab rail and an upswept exhaust. The bike uses a double cradle frame.
      Both ends have disc brakes with ABS. Front and rear wheels are 18-inch and 17-inch, wrapped in 100/90 and 140/70 tyres, respectively. The wide tyres improve traction at high speeds and also work to enhance the bike’s visual appeal. Jawa 42 FJ has a seat height of 790 mm, which seems ideal for optimal control and handling.

      2025 Hero Glamour 125 Techno Blu Met Blk 
      Here too, the prices of OBD-2B variants are Rs 2,000 more than the respective MY24 variants. Hero Glamour Drum brake variants (MY24 + OBD-2B) are available in four colour options – Gun Metal Black Silver, Candy Blazing Red, Techno Blu Met Blk and Black-Sports Red. The Disc variants have the same colours but miss out on the Black-Sports Red option.
      2025 Hero Glamour 125 Black Metallic Silver

Hero Glamour has features such as a fully digital instrument console, LED headlamp and real-time mileage indicator. However, the bike does not get Bluetooth like the Super Splendor XTEC.

      Tata Curvv EV Dark
      Black Magic

It gets an all-black exterior along with #Dark badges on front fenders and it gets Dark Chrome elements on exteriors replacing regular shiny chrome. Wheels are blackened and there are no silver trims on offer on this model. Notably, EV badges continue to be Blue, like on non-Dark versions.

      Electric Car Catches Fire While At Dealer For Service

      by

      Tata Nexon EV Catches FireIn an unfortunate and alarming incident, a Tata Nexon EV reportedly caught fire while it was parked at a service center following an accident. The car, which had been dropped off for repairs, was completely destroyed in the fire.
      What happened
      According to the owner, “I met with a small accident at night one day. I was driving back home and it was raining heavily, Some construction work was going on and there were no hazard warnings. There was a big pit filled with water right on the curb of the road. My vehicle fell into it. Being an EV it was not starting as expected and we dropped it off at the service centre the next day.”
      The service center attributed the fire to battery damage. However, complications soon arose. Although the service team initially verbally assured the owner of providing a replacement vehicle — reportedly a Tata Harrier — at a minimal cost, no formal action was taken. Despite the assurances, it has now been over eight months with no resolution.
      Adding to the owner’s woes, the vehicle was financed and he continues to pay EMIs for a burnt vehicle. To make matters worse, United India Insurance, the insurer, has reportedly declined to clear the IDV (Insured Declared Value) claim, allegedly offering compensation only for the battery pack instead of the full vehicle value. The owner of the car has shared details in the video below by Baiju N Nair.
      [embedded content]
      “First two months they were very cooperative and supportive ( verbally offered me any car from the brand for just a very minimal cost) but now they are not keeping their word and not helping me claim my insurance as well. Also they are not giving evidence or any report of the incident,” added the owner.
      Waiting for resolution
      The frustrated owner also shared his experience on Reddit, underlining the lack of cooperation from the dealer and insurer. Community members advised him to escalate the issue by filing a police FIR, reaching out to consumer forums, and using social media to highlight the incident.
      This case raises concerns over post-accident handling of EVs, insurance claim processes, and customer service accountability when vehicles are damaged under dealer custody. It also brings into focus the potential risks associated with electric vehicles exposed to floodwater and subsequent maintenance processes. More
