      Mahindra BE.05 Spied Next To Dzire – Could Be A Sub-4m-SUV

      by

      Mahindra BE.05 Electric SUVAmong Mahindra’s BE range of electric cars, the BE.05 will be the smallest in size and have the lowest pricingMahindra has revealed 5 new electric SUVs, based on the born-electric INGLO platform. These are broadly classified into XUV and BE range. Test mules have been spotted frequently in recent months.Mahindra BE.05 spotted next to DzireLatest spy shots reveal interesting details about the size of BE.05. In its concept form, BE.05 was presented as a 4,370 mm long SUV. With that size, BE.05 is slotted into the compact SUV segment. But in this recent sighting, BE.05 can be seen alongside a Maruti Dzire sedan that is 3,995 mm in length. While BE.05 appears taller and has larger alloy wheels, the length seems to be almost the same as Dzire.Mahindra BE.05 Electric SUVIt’s difficult to arrive at a definitive conclusion, since images are known to trick the mind via optical illusion. A difference of 37 cm can be tough to identify, especially when the image has been taken from a distance. Camera angle can easily alter the perception of size. If one car is slightly angled or positioned in a way that affects visual comparison, it could skew the apparent size difference.Dimensional details of the production-spec BE.05 are not available at this point of time. In other aspects such as design and styling and equipment list, Mahindra has closely matched the features seen with the concept model.Mahindra BE.05 Electric SUVTop-spec variants of BE.05 have quirky C-shaped LED DRLs, sculpted body panelling, squared-off wheel arches and a coupe-like sloping roofline. The design at the rear also focuses on C-shaped light signatures.Mahindra BE.05 Electric SUVMahindra BE.05 interiorsWith the cockpit space clearly segmented in the middle, BE.05 promises a distinct cabin experience for the driver and front passenger. Most of the features seen with the concept are available with the production version. Some of the key highlights include a hexagonal steering wheel and integrated infotainment and instrument screens. Fabric upholstery has been used, most likely made from recyclable materials.Centre console has a circular dial that is likely for terrain modes or drive modes. A big gear selector and electronic parking brake will also be there on the centre console. Digital sliders will be available to control volume, brightness and sunroof. Test mules have confirmed the presence of ventilated seats. Bronze highlights have been used liberally all across the cockpit section.Mahindra BE.05 Electric SUVMahindra BE.05 – Specs, rangeBE.05 is expected to get a battery pack of around 60 kWh capacity. While base variants will have RWD, top-spec variants could deliver a more exhilarating performance with an all-wheel drive setup. Mahindra had revealed that SUVs based on the INGLO platform will be able to achieve 0 to 100 km/h in just around 5-6 seconds. INGLO-based SUVs will also offer class-leading range. Top-variants of BE.05 could have a range of around 450 km. Enhanced aerodynamics and advanced regen system will help optimize range. More

      by

      Royal Enfield Bullet 350With the updated Royal Enfield Bullet 350 and Meteor 350, we can expect more features as standard, similar to Classic 350 faceliftRoyal Enfield dominates the sub-500cc motorcycle segment with products like Classic 350, Hunter 350, Bullet 350 and Meteor 350. An updated version of Classic 350 will be launched on 12th August. After that, Royal Enfield is also expected to introduce the Bullet 350 facelift and Meteor 350 facelift.Updated Royal Enfield Bullet 350, Meteor 350A variant rejig is likely for the facelift versions of Bullet 350 and Meteor 350. New colour options could be introduced as well. LED tail lamp and pilot lamp can be made standard for all variants of Meteor 350 facelift. Meteor 350 already offers LED headlamps, which will be carried forward.Bullet 350 facelift will have relatively fewer changes in comparison to Meteor 350 and Classic 350 facelifts. The new Bullet 350 is just around a year old, as it was launched in September 2023. It was the last 350cc Royal Enfield bike to be upgraded with the new engine and chassis.It remains to be seen if some new tech features are introduced with Bullet 350 facelift and Meteor 350 facelift. In the traditional sense, Royal Enfield bikes are preferred more for their dominating road presence, robust performance and powerful exhaust note. However, as consumer preferences are evolving in favour of advanced tech features, there can be a possibility for such upgrades.Royal Enfield Meteor 350Existing Bullet 350 has a fairly basic tech setup, as evident with the digi-analogue instrument console. This new instrument console was part of the updates introduced with the new-gen Bullet 350 last year. It is unlikely that it will witness any major changes. Bullet 350 is also equipped with a USB port.Possibility of new tech features are more with the Meteor 350 that caters to a diverse set of users. It includes a large section of the younger generation. In its current form, Meteor 350 is equipped with a retro-inspired, digi-analogue instrument panel. There’s a floating LCD screen and built-in Tripper navigation. A USB charging port is available under the clutch lever. With the Royal Enfield App, users can access a lot more features including call alerts on the Tripper.No Major mechanical updatesBullet 350 facelift and Meteor 350 facelift will continue using the 349cc single cylinder, air-oil cooled engine. It churns out 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm, and is mated to a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox. Suspension and braking systems will also be carried forward. Bullet 350 has 41 mm telescopic forks at front and twin tube emulsion shock absorbers at rear with 6-step adjustable preload.Royal Enfield Bullet 350Braking setup comprises 300 mm and 270 mm disc brakes at front and rear, respectively. Meteor 350 has the same configuration for the suspension and braking systems. Both bikes are offered with dual-channel ABS. While Bullet 350 has spoke wheels with tube-type tyres, Meteor 350 comes with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres, depending on variants.Powertrains for both the motorcycles will remain the same. Based on the overall quantum of updates, prices could be increased slightly for Bullet 350 facelift and Meteor 350 facelift. These are currently available at a starting price of Rs 1.74 lakh and Rs 2.06 lakh, respectively. More

      Ola Electric Motorcycle Teased Again – Will Debut On August 15th

      by

      Ola Electric Motorcycle TeasedWhen launched, Ola electric motorcycle will compete with rival offerings from the likes of Oben, Revolt, Tork and other OEMsOla Electric has emerged as India’s best-selling electric 2W manufacturer by quite some margin. The company had always maintained that they would branch out into more genres like electric cars, electric motorcycles and even electric rickshaws. Ola has showcased four electric motorcycle concepts too.Fast forwarding to August 2024, Ola has been teasing its upcoming electric motorcycle. The company has a habit of unveiling new and upcoming products and services on August 15th, India’s Independence Day. This year, the spotlight is on Ola’s electric motorcycle. Let’s take a look.Upcoming Ola Motorcycle TeasedOla Electric Motorcycle TeasedIndian electric scooters and motorcycle segment has emerged as a lucrative option for many automakers. Up until now, there has been a major uproar in electric scooters with many OEMs diving into it. Now, the focus seems to be shifting to electric motorcycles.CEO of Ola Electric, Bhavish Aggarwal, recently teased an electric motorcycle. He took a short test ride of this motorcycle and posted the same on social media. Very little was divulged in that short video. The new teaser, however, sheds some light on what we can expect from Ola’s upcoming motorcycle.Ola Cyber Racer Top VariantFor starters, Ola Electric has only teased this motorcycle from the front-top section. We can see the twin projector LED headlights, similar to S1 electric scooter range. Right within this headlight assembly, above projector headlights, there is a single-piece sleek horizontal LED bar that will act as bike’s DRL (Daytime Running Light).Above the headlights, there seems to be a headlight cowl or some sort of short windscreen. From this brief teaser, it looks like Ola is developing a street naked motorcycle. There are muscular tank shrouds that are accentuated to lend an aggressive stance. Handlebar looks like it is a single-piece unit and is positioned very upright.Ola Cyber Racer Mid VariantWhat to expect?Not a lot is known about Ola electric motorcycle teased, but it will be unveiled on August 15th. It is expected to recreate the same magic as S1 scooters did in scooter body style. Comparing this teaser with Ola’s four electric motorcycle concepts, there is very little semblance.However, when comparing it with Ola’s design patents in the recent past, we can establish some sort of semblance. Ola’s design patents showed the motorcycle in different variants. We expect the same to be true with production-spec model as well.Ola ADV BikePerformance might be in the same ballpark as Ola S1 Pro Gen II with a slightly larger battery pack. There is a good probability of it having a claimed range of over 150 km. If Ola offers the same 7-inch touchscreen dashboard on this motorcycle with Google Maps and a plethora of features and gimmicks, it could be a well-received product. More

      2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV Spied With XUV3XO Design – Is It Getting Smaller Sub 4m Size?

      by

      2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedFacelifted Mahindra XUV400 EV will primarily rival Tata Nexon EV – It will also take on upcoming EVs from Maruti and HyundaiBeing at the top of India’s SUV game, Mahindra knows that it has to continually evolve with changing times and buyer trends. The company recently updated its aging XUV300 in a major overhaul inside and out. This very treatment is also incoming with XUV400. Will it be called XUV400 facelift? Or XUV4XO EV? That isn’t known yet.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedGiven Mahindra’s strategies with XUV300 and XUV400, there is a very good chance that the company will carry over XUV3XO’s fascia to XUV4XO EV or XUV400 facelift (name not confirmed). Spy video by PowerStrokePS shows the same approach. The fascia, however, will continue to split opinions.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedSaid test mule is fully covered in camouflage, and we could see identical front design on this vehicle as an XUV3XO. There are three grill openings on this particular test mule, just like XUV3XO. Final production version of XUV400 EV facelift might feature unique bumpers and closed-off grill designs.The main attribute that establishes this test mule as an electric offering is a charging port on front left quarter panel. Similar positioning as seen on current XUV400. Alloy wheels look like they are identical to the ones on XUV3XO. These are 17-inchers and have twin 5-spoke design pattern.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedThe big surprise?There is, however, a major revelation seen on this test mule that we weren’t expecting at all. If we took XUV300 and XUV400, there would be a size difference between those two vehicles. XUV3XO is a hair under 4 meters in length, while XUV400 is 4.2 meters in length, as it didn’t have to meet B Segment length constraints.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedIt seems that is not the case with upcoming XUV400 facelift. This one is looking like a sub 4m in length, just like XUV3XO. The only real benefit of XUV400 over XUV300 was boot space. But XUV3XO has a larger boot space (on paper) that is enough to rival Nexon EV. Thus negating the need of making a longer vehicle.This step will also ensure manufacturing efficiency and cost effectiveness in production. Every single body panel of XUV3XO can be used on XUV4XO. Safety features like 360-camera, Level-2 camera based ADAS, 5 Stars crash rating structure 6 airbags, TCS, ESP, all-four disc brakes along with LED lighting all around, will be identical to XUV3XO.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedWhat to expect?On the inside, upcoming Mahindra XUV4XO EV will pack all the features as XUV3XO. We’re talking about soft touch materials, LED interior lights, 10.2-inch infotainment and instrument screens, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, push button start, leatherette seats and others.[embedded content]Powertrains-wise, Mahindra XUV4XO EV might come equipped with the same 34.5 kWh (375 km range) and 39.4 kWh (456 km range) battery options as XUV400. The same 148 bhp and 310 Nm single electric motor as XUV400 is likely too. Launch might happen later this year or in 2025.Also read – Mahindra Thar Roxx teaser confirms new features More
