      New Bajaj Pulsar 400 – Vaibhav MotorworldBajaj 400cc Family Sees Explosive Growth in July 2024, Led by New Pulsar 400 and Triumph 400
      To take on the dominance of Royal Enfield in the 350cc+ segment, Bajaj has launched multiple new brands of motorcycles over the years. Though they are nowhere closer to RE in terms of sales, they are reporting growth in sales of the 400cc segment. In July 2024, the Bajaj 400cc motorcycle segment witnessed remarkable growth in July 2024, with total sales reaching 7,649 units, a staggering 246.74% increase compared to July 2023’s 2,206 units. This significant rise was primarily driven by the introduction and strong performance of the new Bajaj Pulsar 400.

      Bajaj Pulsar 400 emerged as the top performer within the 400cc family, recording 3,340 units sold in July 2024. This model, newly introduced, now accounts for 43.67% of the total sales in this segment, establishing itself as a major player in the market.

Although its market share is modest at 0.46%, its introduction adds diversity to Bajaj’s 400cc offerings.

      New TVS Jupiter First Ride Review – Aim For The Throne!

      by

      New TVS JupiterWith Honda Activa, Hero Destini and Suzuki Access as the main rivals, New TVS Jupiter 110 comes with a radical new design and more features
      TVS Motor has been one of the leading scooter manufacturers in India for a very long time. The company has been selling the Jupiter to masses and has had great success. However, the success quotient can always be taken a notch above and that’s exactly what TVS is doing with its best-seller, Jupiter.
      In August 2024, we get a new Jupiter 110 which will replace the outgoing model. This update was quite a surprise, considering Jupiter sales were booming as ever. TVS has updated its golden goose nonetheless and we got to sample it at the company’s premises in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. Here’s what we think about the New TVS Jupiter.
      2024 TVS Jupiter
      New TVS Jupiter First Ride Review – What’s New?
      When the first official teaser broke covers, I was expecting TVS to launch an updated Apache RR 310 with the same attributes that Apache RTR 310 got. An update to Jupiter scooter was surprising, considering Jupiter is second best-selling scooter in India and has been holding that position for a very long time.
      But TVS seems to be aiming to dethrone Honda Activa, which is currently India’s best-selling scooter. TVS has outdone their already winning formula and has made New Jupiter vastly more appealing than before. The company has launched New Jupiter for a starting price of Rs 73,700 (Ex-sh), which is competitive, considering rivals.
      TVS Jupiter – All variants pricing
      For the price, TVS is offering a lot of features and will take Jupiter legacy to a new level. Even though I initially felt like Jupiter didn’t need an update, the new model makes its predecessor look obsolete, in terms of design. We’re looking at Jupiter’s evolved ethos where TVS is bringing excitement into family scooter genre.
      In that regard, we get a new design, which looks a lot more mature than it did before. We get a new fascia with a much sleeker LED reflector headlight. Top models get connected LED DRLs in the apron with seamless LED turn indicators integrated into them. Rear LED tail lights get a similar effect as well, lending a modern appeal.
      New TVS Jupiter
      Side silhouette is still adhering to a family scooter genre. However, TVS is modernizing for crisper details and sharper lines than before. The Dawn Blue Matte colour is the one TVS provided us at the media drive event and it looks very good. There are 4 variants and accordingly, TVS offers Galactic Copper Matte, Starlight Blue Gloss, Lunar White Gloss, Titanium Grey Matte and Meteor Red Gloss colour options.
      New platform, new engine
      The New TVS Jupiter 110 is positioned on a new lighter chassis with Body Balance Technology 2.0. There is a new powertrain for Jupiter too, which is a derivative of Jupiter 125’s engine block. 2024 Jupiter gets a 113.3 cc unit, replacing the older 109.7cc unit. This engine is coupled to ‘iGO’ micro-hybrid tech with electric assist.
      2024 TVS Jupiter Side
      Peak power is 8 bhp, but peak torque varies from 9.2 Nm without iGO assist and 9.8 Nm with iGO assist. Peak performance is achieved at lower RPMs with the new J110 engine as opposed to its predecessor. Acceleration is on par with rivals and proves to be peppy in daily rides. iGO assistance helps achieve responsive roll-on acceleration. TVS quotes improved fuel-efficiency too. Around 7% to 8% improvement.
      For the first time, TVS is offering petal disc brakes at the front with TVS Jupiter 110. Petal design helps in better heat dissipation as there is more surface area along the edges. Breaking performance was stronger in comparison to its predecessor. We would reserve our thorough opinions before experiencing the scooter in real-world testing.
      TVS Jupiter Lighting
      We even experienced the Body Balance Technology 2.0 on New TVS Jupiter and it inspired a lot of confidence. Stability is excellent and has good cornering abilities, as we experienced the same on TVS’ test track inside their facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. Overall handling characteristics are composed with a hint of sportiness and the 12-inch wheels play a part here.
      Space and Features
      Rider ergonomics was balanced. I am a 6 feet (182 cm) tall individual and I didn’t face any issues. Seat is long and offers a lot of room to move around. Because of my height, I sat closer to mid point of this seat and there was still acceptable room for a slim pillion behind me.
      New Jupiter
      TVS has offered an accommodating floorboard with New Jupiter. I can imagine carrying a gas cylinder on this scooter. There’s a handy glove box behind the front apron and it can take a water bottle too. It also acts as a nice compartment to keep a smartphone when it is being charged via the USB Type-A port onboard.
      There is a retractable hook as well, to hang grocery bags or something of that sort. Adding to convenience is a front fuel filler cap, as the fuel tank is positioned in scooter’s floorboard. Because fuel tank is moved away from under-seat area, it liberates a lot of storage. TVS demonstrates this storage space by stowing two half-face helmets.
      2024 TVS Jupiter Storage
      TVS offers an extensive range of features to come off as well-equipped. In this pursuit, TVS has done a great job as New Jupiter is quite feature-loaded. For starters, it gets a fully digital colour LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and voice-assist function including TVS’ proprietary SmartXonnect system.
      Bluetooth connectivity ensures notification alerts from smartphone along with turn-by-turn navigation system. With the help of TVS SmartXonnect system, users can unlock a host of connected features like “Find Me” and a host of rider stats. We wished this display was a little brighter, especially under direct sunlight.
      2024 TVS Jupiter Instrument Cluster
      New TVS Jupiter also gets a hazard light feature. There is an emergency panic braking alert system where turn indicators flash automatically during sudden braking situations, notifying other road users. Turn indicators reset themselves after some time, which is halfway there to self-cancelling indicators.
      Conclusion
      New TVS Jupiter has matured a lot and has evolved into a new product that aligns itself with changing customer buying trends. Performance is not exactly exhilarating, but New Jupiter exudes confidence and a sense of security while riding. It does everything it is supposed to do and one can’t ask for anything more.
      New Jupiter
      Sure, a smart key with keyless entry would have been nice to see with the new generation of Jupiter. Rival scooter offers this feature and takes the convenience quotient to a new level. TVS might consider offering a keyless solution in the future, depending on demand. Other than that, New TVS Jupiter comes with significantly improved mechanicals in a stylish new avatar and exciting new colours. More

      Nexon EV Customers Upgrading To Curvv EV – Tata Dealers

      by

      New Tata Curvv EV – Voyager AamirKey attractions driving Nexon EV customers towards the Curvv EV include its larger cabin and boot space and a distinctive, sportier profile
      In the automotive space, arrival of new products is always a threat for existing models. A relevant example is Tata Curvv EV that is presenting challenges for its own sibling, the Nexon EV. According to a report, many customers who were earlier thinking about Nexon EV are now looking to upgrade to Curvv EV.
      Nexon EV buyers upgrading to Curvv EV
      Tata dealers say that the majority of customers who had made a booking for Nexon EV are now looking at the Curvv EV as an upgrade option. The same applies to customers who were thinking about buying a Nexon EV. Interestingly, the opposite is also happening. In some cases dealers are pushing customers to buy Curvv EV over the Nexon EV.
      Tata Curvv EV – Sloping Coupe Roofline
      This is especially true for folks who were interested in buying the higher variants of Nexon EV such as the top-spec Empowered + LR. This variant is equipped with a 40.5 kWh battery pack and offers a certified range of 465 km. Nexon EV Empowered + LR variant is available at an ex-showroom price of Rs 19.29 lakh. Depending on the city, the on-road price is slightly more than Rs 20 lakh. As a discount of Rs 1.50 lakh is currently applicable on this variant at most locations, the final on-road price comes at around Rs 19 lakh.
      Preferred upgrade option
      Users who were interested in the higher trims of Nexon EV are now looking to upgrade to the Curvv EV. Based on demand, it appears that the most suitable upgrade option is the mid-spec Curvv EV Accomplished 55 variant. Ex-showroom price is around Rs 19.25 lakh, whereas on-road price is approximately Rs 20.20 lakh. As is evident, the pricing is close to that of the top variant of Nexon EV. Equipped with a 55-kWh battery pack, Curvv EV Accomplished 55 variant offers a range of 585 km.
      Tata Curvv EV Boot Space
      Many Nexon EV buyers are also looking to upgrade to the Curvv EV Accomplished 45 variant. This has a 45-kWh battery pack and a certified range of 502 km. Ex-showroom price is Rs 18.49 lakh, whereas on-road works out at around Rs 19.50 lakh.
      Buyers willing to sacrifice on features
      Even though the pricing is quite similar for Nexon EV top variant and Curvv EV Accomplished variant, the latter misses out on various features. For example, Curvv EV Accomplished does not get the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, ventilated front seats, sunroof, front parking sensors and a 360° surround view monitor. Nexon EV top variant has all these features.
      People are willing to sacrifice several of the premium features, as they are more interested in the larger cabin and boot space available with the Curvv EV. Moreover, Curvv EV has sportier styling and an eye-catching profile.
      Enquiries at dealerships reveal that the most in demand Curvv EV variant is the Empowered + (ADAS). Majority of bookings have been made for this variant. It has a waiting period of around 2 months. Ex-showroom price of Curvv Empowered + variant with ADAS is Rs 21.99 lakh.

      Unveiled as a concept form, Suzuki eVX Concept is the company’s first BEV (Battery Electric Vehicles). eVX carries a crossover SUV design and proportions along with a premium interior. Testing for eVX is in full swing and is inching production by the day. Now, Global Suzuki has revealed launch timeline for eVX. Let’s take a look.
      Maruti Suzuki eVX Launch Timeline
      India’s best-selling car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, has had a robust ICE portfolio on offer. The company has recently expanded its powertrain scope to strong hybrid technology through a strategic partnership with Toyota. The obvious next step for the brand is BEVs. In that regard, we will get a new BEV early 2025.
      Maruti Electric SUV launch plans
      Yes! Early 2025 is when Suzuki will take the veil off its first-ever BEV. The company has revealed that they will announce their first BEV at Auto Expo in India in January 2025. This would be the first time the company is foraying into fully electric cars.
      Suzuki has also revealed a stage-wise launch plan, prioritizing Europe as its primary market. This way, the company will position its upcoming BEV which might be called eVX as a global product. After Europe, Suzuki intends to launch it in markets like India and Japan. Launch might happen in other ASEAN nations in the future too.
      Maruti Suzuki eVX Launch Timeline Revealed
      The company was tight-lipped about what will be powering Suzuki’s first electric car. Official stand is that the company should refrain from revealing battery details as per their contract with the supplier. So, official numbers regarding powertrains of eVX SUV are under wraps.
      Maruti EVX Electric Old wheel design
      Apart from BEVs, Global Suzuki also divulged their stance and roadmap with regard to HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles). As of now, Suzuki is procuring strong hybrid technology as THS models from Toyota. However, the company is working on their proprietary strong hybrid electric vehicles and mild hybrid electric vehicles too.
      What to expect?
      Where design is concerned, Maruti Suzuki eVX looks like a larger version of S-Presso with an air of sophistication. LED lighting, all-wheel disc brakes, rear door handles on C-Pillars, charging port on front-left fender, large alloy wheels (believed to be 18-inchers), connected tail lights, 360-degree camera, roof spoiler and radar module for ADAs are some of the notable exterior features.
      On the inside, we can expect a large free-standing infotainment screen, a floating centre console, sporty seats, auto climate control, an electronic parking brake, a sunroof, rear AC vents and more. Battery could be up to 60 kWh in size with a promised range of around 500 km on a single charge. Obvious rivals are MG ZS EV, Mahindra XUV400, Tata Curvv EV and upcoming Hyundai Creta EV. More
