      Tesla Sales Decline 45% In Europe – Despite BEV Sales Growing By 37%

      by

      Tesla Model 3One of the leading electric car manufacturers, Tesla, has established a firm presence in many major markets like North America, Europe, UK, China and Japan. The company has been witnessing major setbacks with respect to sales in Europe, EFTA region (Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Iceland) and UK. Let’s take a closer look.
      Tesla Car Sales Decline 45% In Europe
      Tesla used to be a popular electric mobility solutions provider here. However, in recent times, Tesla has been witnessing a major sales decline in this region. The numbers are quite severe as Tesla sales halved YoY with 50.3% drop in Europe and a 45.2% drop in Europe + UK + EFTA regions in January 2025, as opposed to sales performance in January 2024.
      This is a peculiar development as the demand for BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) is holding strong. In fact, BEV sales in Europe soared by 37% YoY. While electric cars, as a whole, are still popular and booming, European car buyers seem to be distancing themselves from Tesla brand, singularly.
      Tesla Model 3
      The downfall of Tesla sales in Europe is a combination of factors, but controversies revolving around Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, might be a major reason. His infamous salute, his support for Germany’s AfD Party and his political views, his support for a jailed activist in UK are some of the controversies which stirred debates and damaged his public image.
      Repercussions of these activities, launch anticipation of new and updated Tesla Y and inventory shortages are some of the reasons attributed to Tesla’s sales decline in January 2025. As per ACEA, Tesla sold 9,945 units in January 2025, down from 18,161 units from January 2024. In major European nations like France, Tesla sales fell by 63% YoY and in Germany, it was 59.5%.
      Chinese EV sales Soar
      The drop in Tesla sales in Europe, UK and EFTA region is not for lack of demand for EVs or BEVs. BEV sales grew by 37% YoY across Europe, demonstrating that there are no negative sentiments for electric cars. ACEA revealed 1,24,341 electric cars were sold in Europe and 1,66,065 units in Europe + EFTA + UK with a 16.7% market share and 11.9% YoY growth.
      Tesla Model 3
      If we take SAIC Motors’ sales performance in this region in January 2025, the Chinese EV giant sold 22,994 units. New car sales in Europe saw a 2.6% decline YoY overall. The market share of Petrol and Diesel cars (combined) declined from 48.7% to 39.4%, followed by self-charging hybrid vehicles at 34.9%.

      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze Colour Launch Price Rs 2.49 L

      by

      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 New Peix Bronze ColourExpanding the colour palette of Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield has just introduced Peix Bronze colourway with the mid-spec Dash variant. The company has not increased prices of Dash variant with this new colour, maintaining the Rs 2.49 lakh (Ex-sh) price tag. Let’s take a look at the new colour.
      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze
      The premium single-cylinder motorcycle segment is getting overtly popular in the recent past. With more buyers foraying into this segment, there is a rush among OEMs to launch the best products here. Among these OEMs is Royal Enfield, which is launching a new Peix Bronze colour for Guerrilla 450’s mid-spec Dash variant.
      Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze and Smoke Silver
      Royal Enfield first showcased Peix Bronze shade on Guerrilla 450 at 2024 Motoverse show in Goa and is launched today. Along with the launch of Peix Bronze shade, Royal Enfield is offering Smoke Silver colourway with Dash variant. This colourway used to be exclusive to base Analogue variant, which is now also part of Dash variant, based on customer demands.
      Where design is concerned, Guerrilla 450 is a lot more appealing to look at, when compared to Himalayan 450. Owing to its roadster design, it is aimed to appeal a wider audience base, which doesn’t seem to be the case as reflected by sales charts. Royal Enfield sold just 349 of Guerrilla 450 last month and the new colours are expected to boost sales.
      Guerrilla 450 New Peix Bronze
      Round LED headlights, round Tripper Dash (on mid and top variants), round ORVMs, LED tail lights integrated into the turn indicators, classic fuel tank design, fork gaiters, a clean tail section flaunting the fat 160-section tyre, swanky alloy wheels, soothing body panels, blackened engine bay, stubby exhaust finished in silver, stylish dual tone colours are notable elements.
      Engine Specs
      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 shares the same 452cc DOHC 4V liquid-cooled Sherpa 450 engine as its ADV sibling, Himalayan 450. Because it has shed some weight, the 40 bhp and 40 Nm metrics offer brisker performance when compared to Himalayan 450. Better acceleration, braking and higher top speed are evident.
      New Peix Bronze Colour
      Componentry-wise, Guerrilla 450 offers RSU telescopic front forks, a rear mono-shock suspension unit, fat 160-section rear tyre and disc brakes at both ends with dual channel ABS are notable. Features include ride-by-wire throttle, a slipper clutch, a 6-speed gearbox, Google Maps, music control and others. More

      4 New Maruti EVs Confirmed To Launch In India – Starting With eVitara

      by

      Maruti Future S Concept at 2018 Auto Expo.Maruti Suzuki has revealed a multi-pronged approach to regain the 50% market share in the Indian automotive space. In this journey, electric cars will also play a significant role. The company has realised this and has confirmed four new electric cars to launch in India, starting with the eVitara electric SUV, which will launch soon.
      4 New Maruti EVs Confirmed
      Maruti Suzuki has always been known for their budget and affordable lightweight hatchbacks. However, the company has taken great strides in UV segment (Utility Vehicles). Now, the focus has been expanded to incorporate electric cars into the mix, which is expected to provide the boost for Maruti Suzuki to regain its 50% market share aim.
      The company will launch its maiden electric vehicle, eVitara, soon in many major markets like Europe, Japan and even India. With the eVitara, Maruti Suzuki will open its electric vehicle innings in India, which will be followed by three more EV launches in the future, by the end of the year 2030.
      Maruti Suzuki eVitara India Debut
      eVitara will be followed by an electric version of Fronx, which will be positioned below eVitara. Fronx electric will advance Maruti Suzuki’s and Suzuki Global’s push towards electric mobility, considering Fronx is an already well-established global offering. It will also introduce Maruti Suzuki in the sub 4m electric SUV segment too, where Tata and Mahindra have prominent presence.
      What to expect?
      After the eVitara and Fronx electric, there is less clarity about Maruti Suzuki’s electric car onslaught. We can probably expect an electric version of Ertiga, considering it is India’s best-selling MPV and is an untapped segment. This vehicle might become popular by fleet operators too, a segment BYD has banked on.
      We can expect a small electric car from Maruti Suzuki as well, considering the brand’s unwavering commitment and dominance in the A Segment. Something that could take on Tata’s Punch EV. However, possibility of this happening is quite low, considering the top-down approach Maruti is likely to implement with its electric portfolio.
      Maruti Suzuki eVitara Interiors
      So, this leaves us with a larger electric SUV that will probably rival Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra XEV 9e, which is more probable to become a reality. As revealed by the company’s plans, Maruti Suzuki will launch these four electric cars by the end of calendar year 2030.
