    New Hero Centennial Launched – Limited To 100 Units, Sales Via Auction

    Hero Centennial Based On Karisma XMR 210Even though the differences to Hero Centennial are vast over Karizma XMR 210, the company didn’t mention increase in power and torqueAt the grand stage of Mavrick 440 launch, Hero MotoCorp also showcased a few of their upcoming vehicles. We’re not talking about Xoom 160 and Xoom 125R scooters soon to launch in India. Instead, we’re talking about the extremely limited (100 units) Karizma-based Hero CE limited edition motorcycle that will be auctioned soon.Hero Centennial To Be Auctioned SoonWhen the Karizma was launched, Indian motorcycling fraternity yearned for a sportier version. The company has answered this call and unveiled Hero Centennial. At the time of unveiling, it was referred to as Karizma CE (Commemorative Edition). Thus signifying the fact that it was positioned on a standard Karizma XMR 210.Hero Karizma CEKarizma CE was Hero’s attempt to commemorate 101st birth anniversary of Late Dr Brijmohan Lall Munjal, the founder of Hero MotoCorp. Now, Karizma CE has taken a definitive name and is being called ‘The Centennial’, which is the sportiest form that Karizma can aspire to be. Despite being based on a Karizma XMR 210, it is quite unique in its positioning.That’s because the sportiest Karizma will not be launched for the mainstream market. Hero MotoCorp is launching only 100 units of Centennial and will be auctioned off to company employees, business partners and stakeholders as a collectors item. Contributions from the auction will be utilized for greater good of the society, signifying founder’s ethos.Hero Karizma CEAccording to Hero MotoCorp, the Centennial was designed and developed by CIT (Hero Centre for Innovation and Technology) in India and TCG (Hero Tech Centre in Germany). All 100 units of the Centennial are meticulously crafted with excellent craftsmanship and premium components that are not seen with standard Karizma.Hero Centennial Based On Karisma XMR 210Also, Hero MotoCorp has greenlighted ‘My Hero, My Story’ campaign. Where Hero customers can take part and share an anecdote of their journey with their Hero motorcycle. Top entries from this campaign will be selected and awarded with a Centennial motorcycle. The company didn’t specify how many Centennials will be reserved for this campaign.What does Centennial get extra?When compared to the standard Hero MotoCorp Karizma XMR 210, Centennial is a lot more comprehensive in its equipment. For starters, it gets a unique semi-fairing and rear seat cowl made entirely out of carbon fiber along with other body panels. Hero has used anodised and machined aluminium on the triple clamp, handlebars, rear-set foot pegs, handlebar mounts and swingarm, unique to Centennial.Hero Centennial Based On Karisma XMR 210There is upgraded componentry in the form of fully-adjustable mono-shock suspension from Wilbers, 43mm USD telescopic front forks with damping adjustment, a titanium exhaust from Akrapovic and others.

Despite some standout growth in specific categories, the overall sales declined by 5.34% year-on-year, totalling 1,79,413 units compared to 1,89,526 units in May 2023. On 5th July, Bajaj will launch world’s first CNG motorcycle, which could boost their sales in coming months.Bajaj Sales Breakup May 2024 – Pulsar No 1 BajajPulsar range continues to dominate Bajaj’s domestic market with sales of 1,28,480 units in May 2024, a marginal increase of 0.06% compared to May 2023.

This decline is notable as Platina still maintains a 16.85% share of Bajaj’s total sales, indicating its importance in the budget commuter segment. The decrease could be attributed to rising competition and market saturation in this segment, necessitating renewed marketing efforts or model updates to regain its lost ground.At No 3 is their electric scooter, Chetak. It has shown impressive growth with a 41.64% increase in sales, reaching 13,042 units. This makes it a standout performer in Bajaj’s portfolio, accounting for 7.27% of the total sales. The growing popularity of Chetak highlights the increasing acceptance of electric vehicles (EVs) among Indian consumers, driven by environmental concerns and government incentives.Bajaj Sales Breakup May 2024Sales of CT range declined by 14.49%, with 5,229 units sold in May 2024 compared to 6,115 units in May 2023.

    New Vinfast Compact SUV Spied In Pune – Clearest Spy Shots Yet

    New Vinfast Compact SUVWhen launched, Vinfast VF e34 will rival the likes of Mahindra XUV400, MG ZS EV and upcoming Tata Curvv EV and Maruti eVXLooking forward to ceasing their opportunity in the Indian electric car market, Vietnamese carmaker, Vinfast, is soon to launch a product offensive here. The company is expected to kick things off with their popular VF e34 offering. Latest spy shots of VF e34 credited to automotive enthusiast Karan Dogra are the clearest ones to date and show quite a few interesting attributes.Vinfast VF e34 Clearest Spy ShotsThe Vietnamese car manufacturer, Vinfast, has commenced work on their local manufacturing facility in Tamil Nadu state, India. Ahead of full-scale manufacturing, Vinfast is speculated to commence the sales of VF e34 via the CBU route.New Vinfast Compact SUVThis way, Vinfast might benefit from Government’s revised taxation for EVs where manufacturers pledge vast capital investments in an upcoming manufacturing setup. Vinfast recently held the groundbreaking ceremony for its manufacturing facility and is likely to be qualified for this tax benefit to launch EVs ahead of full production.Test mules of VF e34 have been making multiple appearances and seem pretty unchanged from their global version. Is this just the case for the first set of vehicles launched via CBU route or all vehicles, that is not clear yet. In this sense, we can see test mules carrying privacy glass at the rear, which is a luxury car feature.New Vinfast Compact SUVOverall design is quite nice and is likely to appeal to a vast array of audiences. However, the front design might come off as convoluting and may split opinions. Think, Renault Captur. We get a sloping bonnet and an overall curvy front fascia. Oval-shaped projector headlights and moustache-like convergence for the logo look interesting.New Vinfast Compact SUVIn profile, the car looks sharp and rides on nice-looking 5-spoke (split spokes) alloy wheels. Door handles are conventional and charging port is on rear right quarter panel. As opposed to the front, rear design has strong SUV-like appeal and looks very sharp. Connecting design tail lights, large roof spoiler and tough-looking rear bumper are notable attributes.New Vinfast Compact SUVSpecs and FeaturesDimensions-wise, Vinfast VF e34 measures 4,300 mm in length, 1,768 mm in width, 1,615 mm in height and has a wheelbase of 2,611 mm. Crossover elements like body cladding and all-four disc brakes are notable too. None of the spy shots to date have revealed Vinfast VF e34’s interiors, but we should expect a similar design to global model.New Vinfast Compact SUVExpected features include a 10-inch portrait-style touchscreen infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and a 7-inch TFT colour display for driver’s instrument screen. Ventilated seats, a built-in air purifier, multiple USB ports, Wi-Fi features, keyless entry, push button start, 6 airbags, ADAS suite and other features are expected.New Vinfast Compact SUVPowertrain-wise, Indian model is expected to come with a 41.9 kWh battery pack, powering a 150 bhp single electric motor driving e34’s front wheels. To modulate power, there are Eco, Comfort and Sport driving modes and Vinfast claims 0-100 km/h sprint in under 9 seconds, a top speed of 130 km/h and a NEDC certified range of 318 km on a single charge.

    Race-Bred Hyundai Inster N And N Line Versions Rendered – Launch Likely?

    Hyundai Inster N And N Line RendersHyundai Inster N is less likely to be a possibility owing to cheaper and less performant battery and motor used, along with low voltage architectureHyundai recently unveiled the Inster and it has been making a lot of buzz globally. This electric car has incredible potential to be a global phenomenon. Albeit, not for performance side of things, as it is more of a sensible EV. However, that doesn’t stop enthusiasts from craving a performance version of it. Here’s how Inster N would look like if it ever launched.Hyundai Inster N RenderedIf we take a look at Hyundai’s portfolio, the company loves to carve sportier versions of their standard cars and call them N Line. These are more show and less go when compared to their standard counterparts. However, they are quite popular and draw in a lot of buyers owing to their sporty appearance.A step up from N Line is Hyundai’s full-fledged race-bred N vehicles. These are proper high-performance vehicles and appeal to purists and speed junkies. Hyundai offers N versions starting from i20 N, i30 N, i30 Fastback N, Kona N, Veloster N, Elantra N and the most powerful of them all, Ioniq 5 N.When Hyundai Inster was unveiled, enthusiasts might have begun to crave an N version of it that would be positioned below Ioniq 5 N as the company’s most affordable electric N model. In that light, we can see a new render that perfectly fits this very bill.Hyundai Inster N High Performance Version RenderThere is a vastly sportier front fascia with Inster N render. Lower bumper has been blacked out and there is more ventilation than standard car. Maybe there is a massive diffuser running underneath. There is a massive front bumper lip with red accents and a N badge painted right into the lower grill.At the sides, Inster N loses roof rails and gets massive wheels with low-profile tyres. These alloys look like they are forged, for lightness. Side body claddings get red highlights along with a pronounced skirt. Red brake callipers, multiple N brandings and a darker tint of Performance Matte Blue shade seen on Ioniq 5 N.Inster N LineWhen compared to Inster N, Hyundai Inster N Line render appears a lot more sober. But also, a lot more realistic and a lot more probable to launch. Since N Line versions have no real performance upgrades, Inster N Line render gets roof rails and less flashy exteriors. For starters, the grill is a lot less wilder than N, but retains sporty character over standard Inster.Hyundai Inster N Line RenderWheels still get N badging, but are smaller in size and less flamboyant. Tyres gain some profile for a cushy ride on the road. Front bumper is fuller and side skirts are not needed anymore. Where performance is concerned, Inster N Line would gain a slight up-tune over standard version for marketing sake along with a slightly sportier steering and suspension setup.Hyundai has revealed key specs of its upcoming Inster EV. For starters, it is an electrified version of Casper. But the dimensions are larger than Casper. Inster EV measures 3,825 mm in length, 1,610 mm in width, 1,575 mm in width and has a 2,580 mm long wheelbase. Battery options include 42 kWh and 49 kWh capacities with range up to 300 km and 355 km respectively. Single motor has up to 115 PS power and 147 Nm torque.2024 Hyundai Inster EVSource More
