      Maruti Electric MPV 7 Seater Rendered – Based On EVX SUV

      by

      Maruti Electric MPV 7 Seater RenderTo maintain its dominance, Maruti will be launching multiple new SUVs and MPVs in the coming yearsAs part of its Vision 3.0 roadmap, Maruti Suzuki has chalked out a mega product onslaught. From the current 17 cars, the portfolio will be expanded to 28 by the end of this decade. While ICE and CNG models will continue to be in demand, Maruti will step-up focus on flex-fuel vehicles, ethanol powered cars, hybrids and EVs.Maruti born-electric MPV – RenderWith products like Ertiga and XL6, Maruti currently dominates the entry-level MPV segment. As electrification gains momentum, Maruti has started work on an all-electric MPV. Internally codenamed as YMC, this new Maruti electric MPV will share its powertrain and battery pack with the upcoming eVX compact electric SUV. Expected to be launched in the second half of 2026, it will be Maruti’s first born-electric MPV.Maruti Electric MPV 7 Seater RenderAs may be recalled, the born-electric platform to be used for eVX SUV is being developed as part of a collaboration between Maruti and Toyota. This new versatile platform will be able to support multiple body styles. For the upcoming electric MPV, a derivative of the 27PL skateboard will be used. While eVX is scheduled to debut later this year during the festive season, the electric MPV will debut around one and a half years later.With addition of the new electric MPV, Maruti will be able to provide more options to folks looking for a 3-row model. Maruti already has Ertiga, XL6 and Invicto MPVs. In the future, more 3-row models will be launched. It includes a 7-seater SUV based on the Grand Vitara and a hybrid MPV based on Suzuki Spacia. An extended range of 3-row models available with multiple powertrain options will be beneficial. It will place Maruti in a better position to deal with current and upcoming rivals.Maruti born-electric MPV – SpecsMaruti’s focus on affordability will continue with its upcoming hybrid and electric vehicles. To reduce development and production cost, the upcoming electric MPV is likely to borrow the battery pack, electric motor and other powertrain components from eVX. Maruti eVX will have battery options of a 40 kWh and a 60-kWh unit. Both these options could be offered with the electric MPV as well. Range could be around the same as 550 km of eVX. The equipment list is also expected to have multiple common features for eVX and YMC.While other carmakers like Tata and MG have launched affordable options in the EV segment, Maruti Suzuki is yet to start its innings. Maruti’s electric plans were delayed, as the company wanted to start with born-electric EVs instead of ICE to EV conversions.With multiple new EVs planned for launch in the coming years, Maruti shouldn’t have any major issues in catching up with rivals. As of now, Tata Motors dominates the entry-level EV segment with more than 2/3rd market share. MG Motor is second with market share of around 15%. Mahindra is third, with market share of 8-9 percent.Source More

      Ather Rizta Vs Rivals – S1 Pro, 450X, iQube, Chetak, V1 Pro, Simple One

      by

      Ather Rizta Vs RivalsThe new family-oriented Ather Rizta electric scooter packs up to 3.7 kWh battery promising a range of up to 160 km on a single chargeRizta marked a new direction for electric mobility solutions provider, Ather Energy. This is the first time Ather Energy has forayed into practical family-oriented scooter territory with Rizta. Like other Ather Energy offerings, Rizta promises a robust, over-engineered battery and safe ownership experience. What else does it offer? How do rivals fare? Let’s take a look.Ather Rizta Vs Rivals – Is the price justified?Except for Bajaj, all the other electric scooters quote “effective” ex-showroom prices in different cities with different region-wise subsidies. So, to keep it fair, we took real ex-showroom prices without any subsidies. There’s a reason why we took top-spec S1 Pro Gen 2, Simple One and Vida V1 Pro for this comparison.Pricing is always confusing with Ather scooters. In this sense, Ather Rizta costs between Rs. 1,35,000 and Rs. 1,62,400 (“real” ex-sh) and these prices do not include all the trendy features that Ather announced on stage. To get those features, you need an optional Pro Pack (Rs. 13,000 to Rs. 20,000) which takes Rizta’s pricing between Rs. 1,48,000 and Rs. 1,82,400 (ex-sh). However, Ather does offer something called “Price Benefit” ranging between Rs. 7,401 and Rs. 15,001.So, the quoted price without EMPS for Rizta is between Rs. 1,19,999 and Rs. 1,54,999 (with Pro Pack). Rizta is not Ather’s flagship, but top-spec Z 3.7 kWh variant with Pro Pack costs more than S1 Pro Gen 2 (ex-sh), which is Ola’s flagship offering. With Pro Pack, Rizta costs more than iQube, Chetak, Ola S1 Pro, Simple One and Vida V1 Pro.Ather Rizta Vs Rivals – DimensionsWhere powertrains and range are concerned, Rizta’s 4.3 kW peak power falls short of every other rival, except for 2024 Chetak with 4.2 kW electric motor. If we bring Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 with 11 kW peak power into the equation, Rizta is almost 3 times less powerful and has three times less torque. Powering the motor, Rizta gets either 2.9 kWh or 3.7 kWh battery options. Where battery size is concerned, nothing beats Simple One with a total of 5 kWh capacity.Performance, range and featuresAther Rizta packs a mid-mounted motor driving rear wheels with a belt drive. This setup ensures a smooth and vibe-free riding experience. Only the TVS iQube gets a rear hub motor. Top speed is limited to 80 km/h on the Rizta. This is not bad when compared to 73 km/h, 78 km/h and 80 km/h top speeds of Chetak, iQube and V1 Pro respectively. Ather’s own 450X can do 90 km/h, Simple One can do 105 km/h and Ola S1 pro Gen 2, which costs less than Rizta, can hit 120 km/h.Rizta’s base S trim lacks the TFT dashboard and lacks a larger 3.7 kWh battery pack option altogether. Even the top-spec Z trim lacks rear disc brakes and gets skinnier tyres than Ola S1 Pro. Rizta gets just two riding modes – Zip and SmartEco. Except for iQube and Chetak, other rivals offer more riding modes to ensure a balance between performance and range.Ather Rizta Vs Rivals – SpecsSpeaking of range, Rizta promises a claimed range of up to 160 km. But Simple One takes the cake here with 212 km promised range on a single charge, owing to its larger 5 kWh battery. Ola isn’t far off, with a 195 km claimed range with S1 Pro Gen 2.ConclusionRizta’s marketing elements include longest 900mm seat, optional 22L flexible frunk, pillion backrest and a flat floorboard. Rizta also has a wireless charger under its seat to charge their new Halo helmet (bought separately). If you are among the target demographic of these marketing elements, Rizta makes a lot of sense.Ather Rizta Vs Rivals – FeaturesPeople already in Ather’s ecosystem or buyers smitten by Rizta’s sleek design can go for it too. But if you are looking for VFM products, Ola S1 Pro Gen 2 still takes the crown owing to its customer-centric approach. When compared to Rizta, S1 Pro is 3 times more powerful and torquey, while costing less. There are no optional packs with Ola. So, what you see is what you get, which is always nicer. More

      Production Of Tesla Cars For India Commenced – Supply Not From China

      by

      Tesla Model 3Ahead of the full fledge manufacturing plans in India, Tesla has commenced production of cars for Indian market to be shipped in from GermanyIn a bid to make a name for itself in the world’s third largest automotive market, Tesla has commenced production of RHD vehicles. Unlike initial speculations suggesting shipments from China, a recent report suggests Tesla intends to ship RHD vehicles to India from its manufacturing facility in Germany.Production Of Tesla Cars For India CommencedWorld’s leading electric car maker, Tesla, is poised to enter the Indian automotive scene and establish a manufacturing presence here. Initially, there were setbacks to Tesla from Indian Government regarding the reduction in taxation for establishing a retail chain with units shipped into the country from China.After a brief pause, Tesla changed its approach towards Indian market. The growing economy and India climbing the ladder to become the world’s third-largest automotive market certainly helped in these regards. One of the nudges could be Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to USA and dialogues exchanged with Tesla founder, Elon Musk.Because India is a market for RHD vehicles, initial speculations suggested an imminent import from Tesla’s Shanghai plant. RHD Tesla cars are primarily manufactured here and are exported to all RHD markets like UK, Japan, Australia and others.File photo from 2023. Elon Musk and Narendra ModiRecent report suggests Tesla has commenced production of RHD vehicles for India in its Berlin plant in Germany. Considering the proximity between Germany and UK, there is a possibility that Berlin-made RHD Tesla cars might be sold in UK, replacing Shanghai-made units. As of now, there are no confirmations regarding which vehicles Tesla has on the cards for Indian markets.Tesla’s Berlin plant currently manufactures Model Y. Considering Indian road conditions and market perception, high-riding Tesla vehicles like Model Y could be a good fit.Company’s roadmapElectric vehicle juggernaut, Tesla, has pledged to establish manufacturing facilities in India. The company is about to finalise the location for the manufacturing facility. A team from Tesla is expected to fly into India and decide between three prospective locations – Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat.Tesla Model 3 refreshedAhead of that, Tesla is bringing vehicles manufactured in Germany to India via CBU route. These developments surfaced following the revised taxes by Indian Government on certain electric vehicles who’s manufacturers invest a minimum sum of USD 500 million and commence production within the next three years.As per the revised Indian policy, manufacturers can import up to 8,000 units into the country under the revised taxation policy at a lower tax rate. In the grand scheme of things, Tesla intends to increase its reliance on Indian providers for sourcing various components, making India a bigger sourcing hub.Source More
