      Tata Curvv EV Dark
      Black Magic
      Where design is concerned, Curvv EV Dark Edition is a typical Dark Edition affair. It gets an all-black exterior along with #Dark badges on front fenders and it gets Dark Chrome elements on exteriors replacing regular shiny chrome. Wheels are blackened and there are no silver trims on offer on this model. Notably, EV badges continue to be Blue, like on non-Dark versions.
      On the inside, Dark theme lends a sporty and stealthy look. We get Dark dashboard, door trim, centre console and other areas. Chrome highlights have been replaced with Dark Chrome, which looks nice. Leatherette seats and upholstery get Dark treatment too and we can see Dark badges on front seats.

      Electric Car Catches Fire While At Dealer For Service

      by

      Tata Nexon EV Catches FireIn an unfortunate and alarming incident, a Tata Nexon EV reportedly caught fire while it was parked at a service center following an accident. The car, which had been dropped off for repairs, was completely destroyed in the fire.
      What happened
      According to the owner, “I met with a small accident at night one day. I was driving back home and it was raining heavily, Some construction work was going on and there were no hazard warnings. There was a big pit filled with water right on the curb of the road. My vehicle fell into it. Being an EV it was not starting as expected and we dropped it off at the service centre the next day.”
      The service center attributed the fire to battery damage. However, complications soon arose. Although the service team initially verbally assured the owner of providing a replacement vehicle — reportedly a Tata Harrier — at a minimal cost, no formal action was taken. Despite the assurances, it has now been over eight months with no resolution.
      Adding to the owner’s woes, the vehicle was financed and he continues to pay EMIs for a burnt vehicle. To make matters worse, United India Insurance, the insurer, has reportedly declined to clear the IDV (Insured Declared Value) claim, allegedly offering compensation only for the battery pack instead of the full vehicle value. The owner of the car has shared details in the video below by Baiju N Nair.
      [embedded content]
      “First two months they were very cooperative and supportive ( verbally offered me any car from the brand for just a very minimal cost) but now they are not keeping their word and not helping me claim my insurance as well. Also they are not giving evidence or any report of the incident,” added the owner.
      Waiting for resolution
      The frustrated owner also shared his experience on Reddit, underlining the lack of cooperation from the dealer and insurer. Community members advised him to escalate the issue by filing a police FIR, reaching out to consumer forums, and using social media to highlight the incident.
      This case raises concerns over post-accident handling of EVs, insurance claim processes, and customer service accountability when vehicles are damaged under dealer custody. It also brings into focus the potential risks associated with electric vehicles exposed to floodwater and subsequent maintenance processes. More

      2025 Bajaj Platina 110 Reach Showrooms Before Launch – Major Update

      by

      2025 Bajaj Platina 110 UpdatedEarlier this year, Bajaj discontinued Platina 110 ABS variant from its portfolio alongside CT125X and Pulsar F250. However, the company carried over non ABS drum brake variant of Platina 110 forward. Fast forwarding to April 2025, Bajaj has given Platina 110 a major update and updated units have been reaching showrooms. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 Bajaj Platina 110
      The affordable budget commuter segment has been one-sided for a very long time in the favour of Hero MotoCorp’s Splendor range. However, Hero doesn’t operate in the 110cc segment, which is positioned between 100cc and 125cc. That’s where Bajaj’s Platina 110 comes into the scene and for MY25 version, it brings major updates along with it.
      2025 Bajaj Platina 110 Updated
      For starters, there seems to be a new set of colours and the one seen in the video by Machine Rules shows a new colourway. Where black acts as the base colour and there’s a light green shade used for highlights and graphics. Same shade of green can also be seen in pinstriping done on alloy wheels.
      In contrast, the MY24 Platina 110 was offered in three colourways with graphics – Ebony Black Blue, Ebony Black Red and Cocktail Wine Red – Orange. Apart from the colours, there are a few visual updates to 2025 Bajaj Platina 110 that distinguish it from MY24 model. MY25 version gets a chrome surround engulfing headlight that is absent in MY24 model.
      2025 Bajaj Platina 110 Updated With Fuel Injector
      Also, Bajaj Auto seems to have stopped offering the translucent knuckle guards on MY25 model or they may not be installed on this particular unit seen in this video. Other updates include the addition of a USB charging port, which is a welcome feature, and a few revisions around swingarm region. Seat cover, halogen headlights, LED DRLs and other components seem to be carried over.
      Fuel Injector replaces e-Carburettor
      Main change can be seen in 2025 Platina 110’s engine. This engine will now be BS6 P2 OBD-2B emission standard compliant, which is mandated on all vehicles sold in India after April 1st, 2025. To achieve latest and more stringent emission standards, Bajaj has replaced the electronic carburettor with a fuel injector.
      [embedded content]
      With this new fuel injector, we can expect changes in this motorcycle’s performance metrics and fuel efficiency. For context, the electronic carburettor model used to deliver around 8.5 bhp of peak power and 9.81 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. Other than that, there are no other changes and even the fully analog instrument cluster has been carried over. More

This is a more off-road focussed Enduro version of recently launched 390 Adventure. Where pricing is concerned, India-spec 390 Enduro R boasts a price tag of Rs 3.36 lakh, making it more affordable than 390 Adventure.
      KTM 390 Enduro R Launch
      This is the first time in a very long time KTM is expanding the 390 portfolio to incorporate two new motorcycle genres. Before, we only had 390 Duke Roadster, 390 Adventure ADV and RC 390 Supersport. Now, the company has just launched 390 Enduro R and will soon launch 390 SCM R (Supermoto) motorcycle.
      KTM 390 Enduro R Launched
      Where pricing is concerned, KTM 390 Enduro R costs Rs 3.36 lakh (Ex-sh) and is a more off-road focussed enduro style machine than 390 Adventure. For context, KTM 390 Adventure X costs Rs 2.91 lakh (Ex-sh) and 390 Adventure costs Rs 3.68 lakh (Ex-sh). Both the Adventure and Enduro motorcycles cater to different audiences.
      It has to be noted that the KTM 390 Enduro R launched in India is an India-spec version of this motorcycle and not global-spec model. The latter gets more suspension travel, a higher ground clearance, a taller seat height and weighs significantly less than India-spec model launched here. The global-spec model will be launched in India at a later date as a variant.

      Where design is concerned, 390 Enduro R is vastly the same as 390 Adventure, sans the fairing, vertically laid out LED headlight setup and the larger 5-inch TFT instrument cluster. Enduro gets a smaller and flatter headlight setup and a smaller 4.2-inch pill-shaped TFT cluster. Other notable features include two riding modes and Traction Control.
      KTM 390 Enduro R Launched

      Statement from KTM
      Speaking on the launch, Mr. Manik Nangia, President Pro-Biking, Bajaj Auto Ltd said, “Today marks a significant milestone for KTM in India as we proudly launch the KTM 390 ENDURO R, a true embodiment of our ‘Ready to Race’ ethos.

      For 2025, primary interests of these showcases are VF 6 and VF 7 electric vehicles as they are confirmed to launch in 2nd half of 2025. In latest spy shots, we can see two VF 7 electric crossover SUVs on flatbed pickup trucks near PCMC area of Pune City in Maharashtra. Both vehicles are not camouflaged and can be seen without intrusions.
      One has a dark shade, which looks like the Green colour option Vinfast has in global markets. The other one is White. Both vehicles looked like they packed Black wheels which looks quite nice. Both vehicles get flush door handles along with charging port on front quarter panel. These are highly likely to be transported to ARAI for homologation purposes.
