    New Honda 100cc Motorcycle Teaser – Splendor Rival Launch On 15th March

    Honda Two Wheeler India is getting ready to launch a new commuter motorcycle in the 100cc segmentNew Honda 100cc Motorcycle Launch TeaserHonda is the No 1 scooter maker of India. With Activa in its arsenal, Honda is practically unmatched. To put it into context, Activa alone accounts for more than 50 percent of Honda’s total sales. If you take top 10 best-selling scooters in India, Activa sells almost as much as the rest of the nine contestants combined. In the global two wheeler market, India plays a leading role for Honda bringing in lakhs of units in sales each month.Honda doesn’t enjoy the same monopoly when it comes to motorcycles. That is because Hero MotoCorp has always been the champion in this era. With the Splendor range of budget bikes, Hero has unmatched popularity among rural customers. This is where Honda is currently falling short. This is where Honda is planning to chart a stronger path forward.Honda Upcoming 100cc BikeThis development is in the form of a 100cc bike to challenge Splendor. Right now, Honda’s lowest capacity commuter motorcycle engine is a 110cc unit (109.51cc) that does duties on CD 110 Dream and Livo. Above these are Honda Shine and SP 125 which come with a 125cc engine. However, its arch-rival, Hero offers a 100cc platform (97.2cc) which promises more frugality. Something which target audiences appreciate. This engine is offered with HF Deluxe and Splendor Plus, which is the highest-selling motorcycle in the country.Honda has now shared the first official teaser of their upcoming 100cc motorcycle. The teaser features actor Jimmy Sheirgill in a rural fair setup, highlighting the fact that Honda is going to target this new motorcycle at rural segment. Take a look at the official teaser of the new Honda 100cc motorcycle below.[embedded content][embedded content]Rural market is not too great for bigger motorcycles in the 125-150cc segment as budget and versatility is the deciding factor here. With a well-tuned suspension and a good frame, this new platform might yield good results to Honda and help close in the marginal gap that it currently has against Hero.Specs and PricingCurrently, Honda’s 125cc platform, which consists of Shine and SP125 is powered by a 124cc engine that makes around 10.6 bhp of power and 11 Nm of torque. Shine gets a 4-speed gearbox. SP125 gets a 5-speed unit. This category of motorcycles offer around 60 km/l of fuel economy in the real world.Its arch-rival Splendor Plus and HF Deluxe get a 97.2cc engine that is capable of making around 8 bhp of power and 8.05 Nm of torque. This engine is only coupled to a 4-speed gearbox. This platform is even more frugal and offers around 65+ km/l fuel efficiency. Honda’s upcoming 100cc bike might also make power and torque figures around the same ballpark. Patent of this new motorcycle has leaked.New Honda Motorcycle To Rival SplendorWith an aggressive price point, Honda upcoming 100cc bike may make a dent in Splendor sales. Apart from Splendor Plus and HF Deluxe, it will also compete with Bajaj Platina too. Upcoming 100cc bike will take Honda’s reach even further and is expected to be well received in India. Honda is also planning to launch Activa Electric next year, Jan 2024. More

    Citroen C3 Electric Launch Price Rs 11.5 L To 12.43 L – Vs Tiago EV

    The 29.2 kWh battery pack on Citroen eC3 is coupled with a electric motor developing 56 bhp and 143 Nm, enough to eek out 320 km of rangeCitroen C3 Electric Launch PriceAfter Citroen’s innings began in the entry segment with C3 hatchback, the French brand is now expanding its lineup to include an EV as well. This is Citroen’s maiden EV in India and the first French EV to hit our shores. Specs were out long ago and bookings had commenced too. Now, prices have been revealed.The affordable EV space is still quite young and Tata Motors has the most prominence. With Tiago EV, Tigor EV and Xpres-T, Tata Motors seems to have captivated both PV and CV segments. Citroen eC3 has to offer quite a lot to carve a piece of this pie.Citroen eC3 PricesCitroen eC3 has been launched with a price tag starting from Rs. 11.5 lakh (ex-sh) for base Live trim. Top-spec Feel trims with dual tone colour and Vibe Pack cost Rs. 12.43 lakh. When compared to its ICE counterpart, C3 hatchback, eC3 costs Rs. 5.52 lakh more with base variants and Rs. 5.23 lakh more with top-spec variants.Specs & features are almost identical with its ICE counterpart. We’re talking about the same design along with dimensions. This helps Citroen to reduce development costs and help price its products aggressively. But is it aggressive enough? Let’s take a look.Citroen C3 Prices – Petrol, Turbo, ElectricCitroen C3 Electric Prices vs Tiago EVIt primarily rivals Tata Tiago EV starting from Rs. 8.69 lakh (ex-sh) for 19.2 kWh battery pack variants, Rs. 10.19 lakh (ex-sh) for 24 kWh variants with 3.3 kW AC charger and Rs. 11.49 lakh (ex-sh) for 24 kWh battery pack variants with 7.2 kW AC charger. Tiago EV has four trim levels to choose from as opposed to two with eC3.Powertrain options are two along with two charger options. In total, Tiago EV spawns 7 variants. Whereas eC3 gets just one powertrain and two trim levels with cosmetic choices like dual tone and Vibe Pack. Right off the bat, it is immediately noticeable that Tiago EV comes with more options to choose from.  Tiago EV’s top-spec trim XZ+ Tech LUX with 24 kWh battery and 7.2 kW charger is just Rs. 49,000 more than Citroen eC3’s base variant.  Citroen C3 Electric vs Tata Tiago EV – PricesSpecs & FeaturesIt is safe to say that Tata has got the pricing right. Does Citroen eC3 offer more style and substance? Design is objective and hence depends on the buyer. But spec-wise, Citroen seems to be offering more. For starters, eC3 is 212mm longer, 56mm wider, and 50mm taller. It has a 140mm longer wheelbase, 4mm more ground clearance and a 75L larger boot than the Tiago EV.It has wider 195-section tyres wrapped to 15” wheels as opposed to 175-section with 14” wheels on Tiago EV. Powertrain-wise, eC3 offers 5.2 kWh more battery capacity and 29 Nm more torque than Tiago EV’s larger 24 kWh offering. Tiago EV hits back by making 18 bhp more and sprinting 1.1s quicker to 60 km/h. Tiago EV can hit 120 km/h as opposed to 107 km/h of eC3.Citroen C3 Electric vs Tata Tiago EV – SpecsRange tips slightly towards eC3’s favour with just a 5 km difference over Tiago EV’s 315 km. Citroen eC3 offers a larger 10.25” touchscreen as opposed to 7” unit on Tiago EV and also gets wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay system. There is decent competition between the two. It is yet to be seen how the market responds to this duo.Saurabh Vatsa, Brand Head, Citroen India, remarked, “We are excited to launch the New Citroen eC3 All-Electric for the young and progressive customers who will  enjoy the CLEVER, COMFORT & COOL product propositions. The vehicle was developed keeping in mind the Indian audience and their unique needs and preferences.Citroen C3 Electric vs Tata Tiago EV – SpecseC3 delivers a certified driving range of 320 km per charge (MIDC cycle), 100% DC fast charging capability, and a plethora of intuitive technology-driven features. With the famed Citroen Advanced Comfort on board combined with an efficient e-powertrain, we are certain that the New Citroen eC3 All-Electric will meet the expectations of both private customers’ and fleet operators.” More

    There's a Range Rover Theft Situation Happening in London

    Range Rovers are the second most often stolen vehicle in the U.K., with most thefts occurring in London.Insurance brokers have responded by refusing to insure London-based Range Rovers, or increasing rates by as much as double.There have reportedly been no thefts of new-shape Range Rovers—yet.The Range Rover is a common sight in the metropolises of the world, built to handle mud and gravel but more usually seen gliding up to the valet at a fancy restaurant. Even on London’s busy and sometimes narrow streets, a wafting Rover is a popular choice, whether for actual Royals or just the very well-heeled. But in the U.K.’s capital city, Range Rovers have become popular with a more nefarious set.Thieves. (Or, as a London bobby might call them, the criminal element.) According to recent reporting from the U.K. magazine Autocar, Range Rovers have become the second most popular vehicle to steal in the U.K., with 5200 of them nicked in 2022. The vast majority of these thefts happened in London, and insurance companies have taken notice. (We know you will ask: the U.K.’s number-one most frequently stolen car in 2022 was the Ford Fiesta.)This situation isn’t like that of the recent rash of thefts of Hyundais and Kias. Instead of pranksters on TikTok, many of these Range Rovers are said to be stolen by networks of professional thieves taking advantage of keyless entry technology. Apparently it’s all too easy to fence a hot Range Rover, either locally or by shipping it overseas, never to be seen again. According to one investigator interviewed by Autocar, the issue isn’t with some security flaw, but simply because a Range Rover is a fat and valuable target. Crime pays.Insurance companies, on the other hand, do not enjoy paying out. Premiums for Range Rovers have reportedly skyrocketed in the U.K., doubling in some cases. That’s assuming you can get coverage at all, as some insurers will flat out not cover a Range Rover. Autocar did its homework here, requesting quotes on a current full-size Range Rover vs. an equivalently priced Bentley Bentayga. Quotes on the Rover topped out at the equivalent of $7200, double to triple the prices quoted for the Bentayga.Thefts reported are of older Range Rover models, not the current one. JLR representatives noted to Autocar that they were working on solutions to the insurance issue and further pointed out the advanced security features available via the company’s Remote app. C/D has also reached out to the automaker for additional comment.Back in the Day, a Jaguar Was a Hot TargetAs a fun aside, this is not Jaguar Land Rover’s first experience as the choice of criminals. In the 1960s, Jaguar’s Mk II sedans were the pick of the likes of Roy “The Weasel” James, a getaway driver in a number of brazen heists. In those cases, the Jag was picked for its ability to outrun the coppers. Here, the Range Rover is itself the ill-gotten gain.In the U.S., the most commonly stolen vehicle is the Ford F-150, a consequence of its ubiquity. But there are periodic hot spots of Range Rover theft too—one brief spate just happened north of the border in Edmonton, Alberta, where thieves made off with six 2017–2021 model Land Rover products.So if you own a Range Rover, perhaps invest in the best immobilizer and vehicle tracking technology you can afford. And if you see a bunch of shifty-looking figures with Cockney accents hanging around, best to lock the garage up extra tight.

    Audi Could Build EVs in U.S. Thanks to Biden's Inflation Reduction Act

    There’s no question the Inflation Reduction Act is driving massive changes in the U.S. electric vehicle market, both for shoppers buying them and companies making them.No decisions have been announced, but the new law makes building EVs in America “very attractive,” Audi CEO Markus Duesmann said late last week.If Audi does build EVs here, it will be just the latest in a long line of companies. Following the signing of the IRA last August, over $28 billion in EV manufacturing investments for the U.S. have been announced.The IRA’s hits just keep on coming.The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which was passed into law last August, shook up the electric-vehicle market in the U.S. One shakeup came in the way the law encourages domestic EV production, and the latest automaker to respond is Audi, which said Friday that it is evaluating construction of a new EV factory in the U.S. Full Details and Specs”The IRA has made building a U.S. plant for electric cars very attractive,” Audi CEO Markus Duesmann told the German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung. Duesmann said if Audi does build EVs here, it would probably be at a joint plant with the Volkswagen Group, according to Reuters. The Washington Post quotes Duesmann as saying, “Decisions have not yet been made, but the VW Group will probably make more cars over there [in the U.S.] in the future for the U.S. market.” While Volkswagen has a plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Audi does not currently have any plants in the U.S., and the automaker’s e-tron EVs are built in Brussels, Belgium. The Audi production facility closest to the U.S. is in San Jose Chiapa, Mexico, where Audi builds the Q5. To qualify for some of the changed tax credits laid out in the IRA, EVs increasingly need to be assembled in the U.S. Other recent federal legislation, especially the CHIPS and Science Act, are also encouraging companies to make EV components, like batteries and silicon chips, in the U.S. The IRA’s details change as the years go on, but the overall trend has already prompted over $28 billion in EV manufacturing investment announcements between the signing of the law in August and the end of 2022, according to the Electric Vehicle Association. Figures from the Bureau of Economic Analysis show that investment in U.S. factories of all types is rising, too, from around $70 to $75 billion per quarter in 2020 to $88–$105 billion per quarter in 2022, the Washington Post noted. An analyst the paper spoke to said the industry expects these numbers to keep going up in the years to come as more incentives come online.More about the IRAAudi has ambitious electrification plans for its U.S. fleet. Audi of America has said it will have one-third of its portfolio be electrified by 2025. Audi has also said it will invest around $19 billion to develop and produce new hybrid and electric vehicles. A new U.S. plant would fit well with those plans. This content is imported from poll.

Hat tip to Dna Rods for sharing the update.New Hero Rally Bike At INRSCHero’s new rally bike has participated in Group A category, which is for 400cc and above capacity bikes. This largely confirms Hero’s plans for the future. It is not surprising, as there’s significant growth in the middleweight segment. It is no longer a niche market space, rather, it is going more and more mainstream with time. The younger generation rising in affluence, coupled with a wide network of newly minted roads, has resulted in significant demand for big bikes.Hero’s new 400cc or above capacity rally bike will underpin the company’s upcoming ADV. The latter will rival the likes of Royal Enfield Himalayan, KTM 390 ADV, etc. Hero’s new 400cc-450cc platform will spawn other products as well such as a dual-sport bike and Xtreme sports bike. Hero’s 400cc bikes could be a strong challenger to Royal Enfield, as Hero has capabilities to match RE’s primary USPs such as performance and affordability.New Hero Rally MotorcycleRumours suggest that the engine will be of 420cc capacity and is likely to be called Xpulse 420cc upon launch next year. Some of the key highlights of Hero’s new 400cc rally bike include a flat headlamp casing with LED light, flat handlebar with brace pad, knuckle guards, raised front fender, fortified front forks, wire-spoke wheels, knobby off-road tyres, compact fuel tank, slim seat design and underseat exhaust.At rear, the bike has monoshock suspension. This bike will be a bit challenging for smaller riders due to its tall seat height. It explains the extra-long side stand that the bike utilizes.

Test mules have been spotted earlier at multiple locations.Hero Moto factory rider Yuva KumarHero’s rally bikes have proved their mettle across various national and international events. For example, Hero’s motorsport team recently registered its best ever performance at Dakar 2023. Achievements include two stage wins, a top-10 overall finish and a stage podium. Just like its race-ready 200cc platform, Hero’s new 420cc bikes are expected to deliver an exhilarating performance. It will be a lot more fun, as there will be more power and torque and possibly a range of new hi-tech features. More

    Porsche Roads App Uses AI to Find the Fun Route, Not Just the Easiest One

    Porsche has updated its Roads route-planning app with AI that seeks out twisty or scenic roads; to add to the AI input, the app’s 180,000 users can rate routes, create their own, and add in useful tips.The app was launched in 2019 but now has been upgraded with artificial intelligence that can help find roads to suit user-entered specifications.Route planning connects directly to any vehicle equipped with Apple CarPlay; no Porsche required.Artificial intelligence isn’t quite at the level of HAL or Skynet yet, but the internet has adopted the technology as its new fun toy. Want to see art of every U.S. president as a Pixar character, or challenge a chatbot to write a Seinfeld episode in the style of Shakespeare? AI can do that for you. But Porsche thinks AI can be more than just a distraction. It’s betting that AI can help you generate the drive of a lifetime.PorschePorsche launched its Roads app in 2019, and today the company says this app currently has approximately 180,000 users. The latest refresh adds in the ability for route planning that incorporates an algorithm to find the best way to get from point A to point B.Full Details and SpecsBig deal! Plenty of navigation apps already do that. But the difference with Porsche’s app is that “best” here is defined by the operator. Where Google Maps takes into account driving time or fuel efficiency, Roads lets the user select for a more challenging or scenic route. If you’re looking to tear things up in your 718 Cayman GTS 4.0, you set your profile to look for something curvy. Want to hit the sights on a cross-continent trip in a Cayenne? Roads will help you find the best local can’t-miss spots.Best of all, while the app currently runs only on iPhones, not Android phones, you don’t need a Porsche. Roads will work on any car fitted with Apple CarPlay, letting you pick out your route on your phone and then follow it on your car’s infotainment screen.Along with the AI-generated routes, Roads also incorporates crowdsourced elements. Users can rate the various routes, create their own, and leave comments.Where this tech really shines isn’t so much in your local area; if you’re an enthusiast, you probably have worked out your favorite back roads already. But if you’re on a road trip, or traveling in an unfamiliar area, the Roads app will help you find the good driving roads. It’s a free download, so make sure you have it with you on your next trip—and maybe take the upgrade at the rental counter for something a bit more fun to drive.
