      New TVS Jupiter 110 Vs Honda Activa Vs Hero Pleasure+ – Specs, Features Compared

      by

      New TVS Jupiter Vs Honda Activa Vs Hero Pleasure+With the new iGO Assist micro hybrid technology, new TVS Jupiter gets electrical assistance taking the torque figure to 9.8 Nm
      The new TVS Jupiter 110 has been launched in India for a starting price of Rs 73,700 (Ex-sh). With this new scooter, TVS aims to increase its market share in scooter segment, which Honda Activa rules. Honda Activa and Hero Pleasure+ are the only two conventionally designed family scooters with a 110cc engine in India. Let’s see how the rivalry stacks up with new Jupiter.
      New TVS Jupiter 110 Vs Rivals
      With a major update in the features list and an evolutionary leap towards a modern design language, new TVS Jupiter challenges other 110cc conventional family scooters in the segment. Which zeroes down to Honda Activa and Hero Pleasure+. Offerings like Honda Dio 110 and Hero Xoom 110 come under sporty scooter genre and don’t coincide with new TVS Jupiter.
      New TVS Jupiter Vs Rivals – Specs & Pricing
      Within this trio, pricing plays a key role. In typical Hero fashion, Pleasure+ strikes the lowest prices starting from Rs 71,213 (Ex-sh). The just-launched Jupiter prices start from Rs 73,700 (Ex-sh) and the best-seller Honda Activa starts from Rs 76,684 (Ex-sh). TVS further one ups the competition by offering features like LED headlights and LED tail lights as standard.
      Where top-spec variants are concerned, it is the new TVS Jupiter that is priced at a premium setting the bar high at Rs 87,250 (Ex-sh), while Honda and Hero only goes till Rs 83K (Ex-sh). Putting the prices aside, New Jupiter brings the largest engine at 113.3cc. It is also the only one with micro-hybrid technology boasting electric assistance.
      New TVS Jupiter Vs Rivals – Dimensions
      Thus quoting highest torque metrics of up to 9.8 Nm. Peak power is still around the 8 bhp mark for all contenders. All scooters come with CVT gearbox and come equipped with around 5L fuel tank. We got to experience the new chassis underpinning the New Jupiter along with improved stability and agility and can be termed as segment-best.
      All scooters weigh around the 105 kg mark. Pleasure+ has the shortest length, wheelbase and ground clearance, but is the widest. New Jupiter stands 163 mm above the ground, 1 mm higher than Activa. Seat height is the same in this segment and the same can be said about ergonomics too.
      New TVS Jupiter Vs Rivals – Componentry
      Specs and Features
      Telescopic front brakes are common in this segment and so is rear single-sided mono-shock setup. All scooters offer alloy wheels with their top variants and steel wheels with base variants. New Jupiter has an edge here as it is the only one offering 12-inch wheels at both ends. Activa offers 12-inch only at the front and Pleasure offers 10-inch wheels at both ends.
      TVS Motor offers a disc brake option at the front which is of petal type, which proves better heat dissipation. Where features are concerned, Honda is the only one that offers a smart key with Activa and Hero is the only one to offer projector LED headlights and an LED boot lamp. Honda doesn’t bother with a digital cluster and Bluetooth connectivity, while Hero is halfway there.
      New TVS Jupiter Vs Rivals – Features
      New Jupiter goes beyond and offers a fully digital colour instrument cluster with SmartXonnect connectivity unlocking turn-by-turn navigation. TVS is the only one to give LED turn indicators along with a hazard light feature that also works with panic braking. Hero Pleasure+ omits external fuel filler cap and Honda omits USB charger.
      Except for a smart key, TVS New Jupiter offers a whole lot more features than Honda Activa. However, the convenience of a smart key is unmatched and could act as a hook to choose Honda Activa. Other than that, new TVS Jupiter emerges as the most feature loaded and tech-savvy with a new generation engine and platform. More

      Mahindra BE.05 LED DRL In New Spy Shots – Their Smallest BEV SUV

      by

      Mahindra BE.05 LED DRLWhile Mahindra BE.05 might appear small, but it will still rival MG ZS EV, Tata Curvv EV and upcoming Maruti eVX and Hyundai Creta EV
      Among the five born electric vehicles showcased by Mahindra a couple of years back, three of them have been testing rigorously. The ones launching first are XUV.e8, XUV.e9 and BE.05. Recent spy shots from automotive enthusiast Yuvaraj shows production-spec lighting of top-spec BE.05 variant, fully lit-up. Let’s take a look.
      Mahindra BE.05 Production-Spec Lighting
      On the verge of introducing a global electric vehicle portfolio, Mahindra has formulated two new born-electric lineups – XUV.e and BE. There will be more lineups like this in the future like Thar.e, Scorpio.e and Bolero.e. Thar.e Concept was showcased recently in a recent Mahindra event in South Africa.
      Mahindra BE.05 LED DRL
      Sticking with BE.05, there have been two versions of it spied with unique design attributes. These are highly likely to be base and top models with equipment installed according to their respective price brackets. The one spied recently with its production-spec lighting on display, is the top model with outlandish LED signatures.
      As seen in the recent spy shots, Mahindra BE.05 gets large C-shaped LED DRLs at the front. These are so large that they cover almost all the vertical real estate of BE.05’s fascia. The design of BE.05 is flashy and futuristic and will feature an aerodynamic profile as well.
      Mahindra BE.05 LED DRL
      We can see a massive aero scoop in the bonnet which is likely to channel air efficiently. There are aerodynamic wheels too, which should reduce air drag. Side profile shows a stylish coupe-style roof line but with an edgy twist. This trend seems to be catching up in the Indian market.
      Mahindra BE.05 – Smallest BEV SUV from Mahindra
      From the rear, we can see a similar C-shaped LED signature around the tail lights which lends an aggressive appeal. Mahindra seems to be porting the twin roof spoiler design from concept to production as seen in these new spy shots.
      What to expect?
      On the inside, spy shots have confirmed that BE.05 will feature a similar interior layout as seen with its concept. There is a pronounced separation between the two front occupants, lending a cockpit-like feel to the driver. This ideology has never been implemented in a mainstream car in India. Ever! So, kudos to Mahindra.
      Mahindra BE.05 Charging Port?
      BE.05 will get just two 10.2-inch screens (one for infotainment and other for instrumentation), unlike the XUV.e8 and XUV.e9. Not that we need a third screen, anyway. Many of the interior elements will be shared with other Mahindra cars.
      Previous set of spy shots captured in front of a Maruti Suzuki Dzire suggests that BE.05 might be smaller than we expect it to be. More details will be revealed in the future. It will be positioned on the INGLO platform with around 60 kWh of battery. Launch might happen in 2025. More

      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Owner After 16k Kms And 1 Yr – No Regrets Skipping BMW X1

      by

      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Owner ReviewHyundai Ioniq 5 owner says he is glad that he did not buy BMW X1 – Has no range anxiety, and has done 800 kms road trip in a single day
      For folks who want the EV experience, Hyundai currently offers the Ioniq 5. It is available at a starting price of Rs 46 lakh. A Hyundai Ioniq 5 owner has shared details about his 16,000+ Kms / 1+ year ownership experience on social media, detailing all the great things about the electric SUV. Some areas of improvement have also been suggested. Below are some of the most asked questions and the respective answers from the owner.
      Fuel cost savings – Rs 2 per km
      According to the owner, the running cost of Ioniq 5 is less than Rs 2 per km. For the 16,000 km, 75% of the charging was done at home and the rest 25% at public fast chargers. Overall charging cost for the 16,000 km is estimated at Rs 25k to Rs 30k. Talking about fuel economy, the Ioniq 5 is delivering 5.1 km/kWh (over 16250 km to be precise). The highest achieved was 8.2 km/kWh. The owner says that staying above 8 km/kWh is not realistic, even with regen.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Owner Review
      What is the real world range you get
      When talking about EVs, range is the first thing that comes to mind. Hyundai Ioniq 5 has ARAI certified range of 631 km. According to the owner, the real-world range is around 450 km to 480 km.
      While the difference between ARAI certified range and actual range is significant, the Ioniq 5 owner says that it is due to testing methodologies used by ARAI. He says that every EV in India has inflated range figures, thanks to ARAI. Across international markets, the same Ioniq 5 has a certified range of 430 to 460 km.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Owner Review
      Do you get range anxiety – Asks a Volvo EV owner
      Talking about range anxiety, the owner says that he never had any such issues when driving his Ioniq 5. The SUV’s real-world range is quite good. He also mentions that charging stations were readily available even in Tier III cities. Based on user comments, it appears that Ioniq 5 may be delivering a higher mileage than other similar electric cars. For example, a Volvo owner says that his car delivers around 300 km range. That could be because his EV is based on an ICE platform and not a born-electric platform.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Owner Review
      Longest drive in a single day – 800 kms
      An opportunity came during an 800 km long drive that was covered in a single day. The owner says that his long-distance journey with Ioniq 5 was the best driving experience of his life. He covered the distance from Delhi to Satna. Only one charging stop was taken on the way. While you can get your body refuelled, the Ioniq 5’s battery pack got recharged. By the time the owner reached the destination, there was still 20% battery left.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 – 800 kms in 1 day
      Glad that he did not buy BMW X1 – Space inside?
      The owner says that he never travelled that fast for that long. This hassle-free long drive experience is also a key reason why the owner is thankful that they chose Ioniq 5 over BMW X1. The owner also mentions that Ioniq 5 has spacious interiors, something that makes long journeys even more comfortable and enjoyable.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Owner Review
      Is it a hatchback?
      Don’t be misled by the absence of quarter glass—it’s not a hatchback. The Ioniq 5 is about the same size as the Skoda Kodiaq. Its unique design and features are a direct result of being an electric vehicle. If it were powered by an internal combustion engine, the need for a front engine and rear-wheel-drive layout would have necessitated a taller hood, leading to a very different design.
      Hyundai Ioniq 5 Owner Review
      What you would like to improve
      During his 16k km driving experience, the Ioniq 5 owner has also noted some improvement areas. For example, the Bluelink app functions could be improved. Another thing noted is accumulation of dust at the rear of the SUV. This could be due to the SUV’s aerodynamic design properties. Despite these minor cons, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has proven itself to be an exceptional vehicle, combining impressive performance, efficiency and comfort. The owner’s experience reaffirms that this electric SUV stands out as a top choice in its category.
