      by

      Maruti Electric SUV India Launch PlansWhen launched, Maruti Suzuki eVX will rival the likes of MG ZS EV, Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra XUV400 and upcoming Hyundai Creta EV
      Unveiled as a concept form, Suzuki eVX Concept is the company’s first BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles). eVX carries a crossover SUV design and proportions along with a premium interior. Testing for eVX is in full swing and is inching production by the day. Now, Global Suzuki has revealed launch timeline for eVX. Let’s take a look.
      Maruti Suzuki eVX Launch Timeline
      India’s best-selling car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, has had a robust ICE portfolio on offer. The company has recently expanded its powertrain scope to strong hybrid technology through a strategic partnership with Toyota. The obvious next step for the brand is BEVs. In that regard, we will get a new BEV early 2025.
      Maruti Electric SUV launch plans
      Yes! Early 2025 is when Suzuki will take the veil off its first-ever BEV. The company has revealed that they will announce their first BEV at Auto Expo in India in January 2025. This would be the first time the company is foraying into fully electric cars.
      Suzuki has also revealed a stage-wise launch plan, prioritizing Europe as its primary market. This way, the company will position its upcoming BEV which might be called eVX as a global product. After Europe, Suzuki intends to launch it in markets like India and Japan. Launch might happen in other ASEAN nations in the future too.
      Maruti Suzuki eVX Launch Timeline Revealed
      The company was tight-lipped about what will be powering Suzuki’s first electric car. Official stand is that the company should refrain from revealing battery details as per their contract with the supplier. So, official numbers regarding powertrains of eVX SUV are under wraps.
      Maruti EVX Electric Old wheel design
      Apart from BEVs, Global Suzuki also divulged their stance and roadmap with regard to HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles). As of now, Suzuki is procuring strong hybrid technology as THS models from Toyota. However, the company is working on their proprietary strong hybrid electric vehicles and mild hybrid electric vehicles too.
      What to expect?
      Where design is concerned, Maruti Suzuki eVX looks like a larger version of S-Presso with an air of sophistication. LED lighting, all-wheel disc brakes, rear door handles on C-Pillars, charging port on front-left fender, large alloy wheels (believed to be 18-inchers), connected tail lights, 360-degree camera, roof spoiler and radar module for ADAs are some of the notable exterior features.
      On the inside, we can expect a large free-standing infotainment screen, a floating centre console, sporty seats, auto climate control, an electronic parking brake, a sunroof, rear AC vents and more. Battery could be up to 60 kWh in size with a promised range of around 500 km on a single charge. Obvious rivals are MG ZS EV, Mahindra XUV400, Tata Curvv EV and upcoming Hyundai Creta EV. More

      by

      Ather Service Pack Details LeakedWith these soon-to-launch service packs, Ather Energy intends to solve some of the customer woes regarding high aftersales costs
      While electric scooter sales are only half of the job done, service becomes the other crucial part. Ather seems to be taking great strides in service department and is working on Service packs. Ahead of an official launch, details of these service packs from Ather have surfaced on the internet. Let’s take a look.
      Ather Service Pack Details Leaked
      Ever since their inception, Ather is not exactly known for offering VFM products, especially when compared to what rivals are doing. Service costs associated with Ather vehicles were not very well received by many owners too. In recent times, a few Ather owners have been quoted service costs similar to that of ICE cars and even imported premium EVs.
      Ather seems to be on damage control and is introducing what they call Ather Care. With Ather Care, the company seems to be re-introducing service packs that customers can buy for an additional cost. The company is offering two plans under Ather Care and will command different price points – Ather Care Plus and Ather Care Max.
      While prices are not yet revealed, the particulars of these service plans can be seen in the snippets posted by Twitter user AtherOwnersCBE. These are annual plans and have to be purchased every year, covering a distance of 10,000 km.
      Ather Service Pack Details Leaked
      Ather Care Plus offers 2 free periodic maintenance, 10% discount on wear and tear part replacements – twice a year, 15% discount on wear and tear labour – twice a year, 1 free polishing and 1 free wash. Ather Care Max adds 2 free brake pad replacements, free belt lubrication, 2 Free ExpressCare, 1 extra polishing and 1 extra wash.
      Will these solve customer woes?
      There are speculations in place suggesting a price tag of around Rs 2,500 and Rs 3,000 for Ather Care Plus and Ather Care Max, respectively. The company is yet to officially announce prices of these service packs. Customer reception towards these service packs is yet to be seen. These service packs will be offered with Rizta, 450S, 450X and 450 Apex.
      The electric scooter market has seen significant growth in the recent past. The market has been flooded with new brands and many mainstream 2W vehicle manufacturers have stepped into the ring as well. Currently, top 5 players in this segment (in order) are Ola Electric, TVS Motor, Bajaj Auto, Ather Energy and Hero MotoCorp.
      Ather has been pushing their boundaries to offer a holistic ownership experience to their customers. The company recently launched Ather Rizta family electric scooter and then there is the 450 range for young buyers and enthusiasts, starting from S and goes all the way till Apex model.

      Among the world’s leading scooter and motorcycle manufacturers, TVS Motor, just launched a new generation of their best-seller, Jupiter.

      2024 TVS Jupiter – What’s new?
      The competition in India’s scooter market just reached a new stage with TVS making a bolder move against the segment leader, Honda Activa. Currently at No 2 position, TVS Jupiter has been a stalwart in India’s scooter segment with a significant impact on many Indian households. Come August 2024, there is a new generation of TVS Jupiter with a significant step into modernity.
      New TVS Jupiter
      With the new 2024 TVS Jupiter, the company has sweetened the deal further, for Indian buyers. New generation model gets a new design, while still sticking to the classic family scooter silhouette. There is an air of modernity and sophistication with Jupiter, which was not seen with TVS family scooters.
      2024 TVS Jupiter Colours
      TVS is offering multiple variants with 2024 Jupiter. Depending on the variants, TVS is offering 6 attractive colours – Meteor Red Gloss, Titanium Grey Matte, Lunar White Gloss, Starlight Blue Gloss, Galactic Copper Matte and Dawn Blue Matte. Among these colours, Dawn Blue Matte is the launch colour and TVS is pushing it with the 2024 Jupiter.
      New TVS Jupiter
      The main attraction is the fascia where we can see sleeker headlights, this time around. There is a stylish, yet minimal front apron with a dash of gloss black plastics. TVS is offering sophisticated LED DRLs with seamless LED turn indicators. Even at the sides, there is a sense of modernity complemented by striking creases and definitions.
      New TVS Jupiter Variants
      Similar seamless LED setup can be seen with the tail lights too. TVS is offering a long seat and top variants of 2024 TVS Jupiter get dual-tone stitching too. Also specific to top variants are the LED DRLs and LED turn indicators along with alloy wheels, front disc brake setup and a fully digital instrument cluster.
      New TVS Jupiter
      Practicality and Performance
      TVS is promising a practical and versatile offering with 2024 Jupiter. In this regard, TVS is offering a decently large flat floorboard that houses the fuel tank, a forward-set fuel filler for convenience, a small pocket below a USB charger, a hook to hang stuff and other attributes. Because the fuel tank is positioned in the floorboard, there is massive under-seat storage with enough space for two half-face helmets.
      New TVS Jupiter
      The instrumentation is fully digital and even comes with Bluetooth connectivity along with turn-by-turn navigation. TVS has added a hazard light too and it also has an emergency braking alert where it flashes the blinkers on panic braking. Turn indicators are not exactly self-canceling in real-time, but they turn off after a certain period. This will be handy.
      New TVS Jupiter – Fuel tank lid
      2024 TVS Jupiter 110 is based on a new platform powered by a new Gen engine (New J110). It is a 113.3 cc unit when compared to preceding Jupiter 110’s 109.7cc unit. It is based on the same block as Jupiter 125, bored to displace 113.3 cc. TVS is offering micro-hybrid tech with this engine with electric assist. Peak power can be rounded off to 8 bhp and it has 9.2 Nm without assist and 9.8 Nm with assist.
      New TVS Jupiter
      iGO assist
      Peak power is now achieved at 6,500 RPM, 1,000 RPM lower than predecessor and peak torque is achieved at 5,000 RPM, 500 RPM lower than predecessor. iGO assist technology packs an intelligent start/stop technology and an integrated starter generator. TVS is claiming quicker stand-start acceleration and pass-by acceleration along with superior torque and best-in-class fuel efficiency.
      New TVS Jupiter
      This new Jupiter replaces the old version, which has now been discontinued. 2024 TVS Jupiter is a direct rival to Honda Activa and packs a lot of new equipment along with a new platform and a new engine. Will it help TVS get closer to Honda in terms of scooter sales? Only time will tell. More
