    by

    Royal Enfield Electric HimalayanLooking at the hardware, it’s likely that the electric Himalayan will be just as strong an off-roader as the ICE Himalayan
    At the 2025 Motoverse event in Goa, Royal Enfield has introduced multiple new products. The list includes Bullet 650, Meteor 350 Sundowner Orange variant and the Flying Flea S6 electric scrambler bike. Near the Motoverse event venue, an electric Himalayan testbed has also been spotted.

    Himalayan electric – Design and features
    A number of features of Himalayan electric are similar to that of the ICE variant. It includes the transparent windscreen, round headlamp and rear-view mirrors and a single-piece seat. The silhouette and riding stance are also shared with the ICE Himalayan in most parts. One can also notice the front rack, even though it has a different shape in comparison to that of the ICE Himalayan.

    Electric Himalayan is likely to have an all-LED lighting setup. The headlamp can be seen with integrated LED DRLs. USD forks and wheels carry a golden finish, adding a more dynamic character to the bike. For an elegant and seamless look and feel, the seat cover extends across the faux fuel tank. Riding stance is fairly comfortable with centrally mounted foot pegs and a wide handlebar.

    Signature features associated with Royal Enfield’s electric range include the distinctive design used for the battery enclosure. It has fin-type structures that create a fluid design and also work to improve cooling.

      KTM RC 160 Spied Testing – R15 Rival Could Launch In 2026

      by

      KTM RC 160 Spied TestingBajaj and KTM are stepping up their game in the premium 150cc to 160cc motorcycle segment. The company recently launched KTM 160 Duke to take on Yamaha MT-15, a premium 150cc liquid-cooled street fighter. Based on the same platform, KTM is now eyeing Yamaha R15 with a supersport version of 160 Duke which might be called RC 160. Let’s take a closer look.
      KTM RC 160 Spied Testing
      It was September 2025 when KTM launched 160 Duke in the country and it took on the premium street fighter segment where Yamaha MT-15 had dominance. Now, Bajaj and KTM are working on a new supersport motorcycle to rival Yamaha R15 and R15M, which has achieved cult status in India owing to its overall performance, styling and equipment.
      KTM had confirmed that there will be a supersport version of 160 Duke and it has spied testing on Indian roads in the form of KTM RC 160. In typical KTM fashion, the upcoming RC 160 bears similar design as its bigger RC brothers and in the company’s portfolio, it will be slotted below RC 200, where RC 125 used to be.

      Spy shots show a test mule donning a Black and Orange combination. USD forks and alloy wheels are finished in Black with this colourway. It gets a Trellis mainframe and a bolt-on rear subframe like its larger RC siblings. Clip-on handlebars, fairing-mounted ORVMs and sculpted fuel tank are other notable elements.
      The way rider is sitting, it looks like KTM RC 160 will command a committed riding posture with a lean on handlebars and rear-set footpegs. Cycle parts include USD telescopic front forks, rear mono-shock, 17-inch alloy wheels, fat tyres, large disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS, a split seat and split rear grab rails are notable.
      What to expect?
      Features-wise, KTM RC 160 will get a 5-inch fully digital LCD instrument cluster with a host of attributes. It is also seen on 160 Duke and will support Bluetooth connection along with turn-by-turn navigation. Considering R15 offers one, KTM RC 160 might get a bi-directional quick-shifter as well.
      KTM RC 160 Spied Testing
      Powering this vehicle will be the same 164cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V/cyl liquid-cooled engine that is capable of generating 19 PS of peak power and 15.5 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. Considering how production ready this test mule looks, KTM RC 160 is likely to launch early in 2026.

      Kia Syros Electric SUV Spied Charging Up – Launch Likely In 2026

      by

      Kia Syros Electric SUV Spied Charging UpKia Syros is among the newest entrants in the country’s high-volume Sub 4m SUV space, competing against the likes of Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV3XO, Skoda Kylaq, Renault Kiger, Nissan Magnite and the recently updated Hyundai Venue, among others.
      Sales haven’t been kind to Kia Syros, even though it is among the best-equipped and packaged vehicles in this segment. Syros’s sales fell below the 500 units mark in September 2025. Kia is developing an electric version of Syros to boost sales. It has been spied testing multiple times and in the latest spy shots, we can see it getting charged up. Let’s take a closer look.

      India’s electric car segment has seen a steady growth with many OEMs taking a shot at it to test waters. Kia India is at it too, with Carens Clavis EV, which is India’s first mainstream electric 7-seater vehicle. Now, Kia is cooking a new electric vehicle in their labs in the form of Syros EV, which has been spied testing multiple times.
      It will be a derived EV, based on the Syros ICE vehicle. A similar strategy is employed with Carens Clavis and Carens Clavis EV. The name Syros EV or Syros Electric is likely. The latest spy shots looks like they are from South Korea. We can see it being charged at a charging station. It is fully clad with camouflage to conceal its identity.

      However, it is difficult to mistake this vehicle with anything else owing to its unique alloy wheel design and its B and C Pillar shapes. It is interesting that Syros EV is running on the same wheels as Syros ICE, which could change with final production version.
      Another interesting element with Syros EV is the placement of charging port. With Carens Clavis EV, charging port was in the front at the centre, which was fantastic for practicality. With Syros EV, charging port is present on left front quarter panel, which requires some thought process during the charging period regarding parking.

      What to expect?
      One can expect Kia Syros EV to pack slightly more features than Syros. Like fog lights, rain-sensing wipers, cooled glovebox, rear ventilated seats (backrest) and other features. It will retain the 30-inch Trinity display (dual 12.3-inch and a 5-inch) dashboard along with all the bells and whistles including Level-2 ADAS, 360-camera, dashcam, panoramic sunroof and others.
      To price it appropriately, Kia Syros Electric SUV might come with around 40 kWh battery pack promising a range of around 400 km on a single charge. A single-motor drivetrain, all-four disc brakes like ICE version and other elements are expected. Launch might happen in 2026. More

      VinFast Limo Green 7s Electric MPV Spied Testing In India – Carens Clavis EV Rival

      by

      VinFast Limo Green 7s Electric MPV SpiedVietnamese EV maker VinFast seems to be accelerating its plans for the Indian market. After filing design patents earlier this year, its upcoming Limo Green 7-seater electric MPV has now been spotted testing on Indian roads for the very first time. These latest spy shots, captured by automotive enthusiast Sandeep, reveal a fully camouflaged test mule, hinting that India could be one of the key markets for this new electric people mover.
      First-ever sighting in India
      The heavily camouflaged prototype closely resembles the design of the VinFast Limo Green, which was recently launched in Vietnam. The test mule features the same tall, upright stance, distinctive vertical tail lamps, and a large glasshouse — elements clearly visible despite the camouflage. The alloy wheel design and the tailgate profile appear similar to the model seen in the earlier patent filings, further confirming its identity.

      From the side, the vehicle’s silhouette suggests a three-row seating layout, and the upright proportions confirm that it will prioritize cabin space and practicality. The test mule also features a digital instrument cluster visible through the windshield, confirming that the model is in an advanced stage of testing.
      Built for Indian roads
      The Limo Green measures around 4.74 meters in length with a 2,840 mm wheelbase. Ground clearance is expected to be around 170 mm, well-suited for Indian road conditions.
      VinFast Limo Green 7s Electric MPV Spied
      Under the skin, the Limo Green is powered by a 60.1 kWh battery pack paired with a 201 bhp electric motor, producing 280 Nm of torque. It’s a front-wheel-drive setup, offering a certified range of around 450 km (NEDC). Fast charging from 10–70% is said to take just 30 minutes.
      VinFast Limo Green 7s Electric MPV Spied
      Interior and features
      In Vietnam, the Limo Green features a clean, minimalist cabin with a 10.1-inch infotainment display, leatherette upholstery, 360-degree camera, and a floating centre console. The model will likely bring similar equipment to India, with three-row seating for seven occupants.
      If launched in India, the VinFast Limo Green would become one of the few all-electric 7-seater MPVs, joining the likes of the BYD eMAX 7 and the Kia Carens Clavis EV. Given its size and feature set, it could also appeal to both premium family buyers and fleet operators seeking a spacious, eco-friendly people carrier.
      VinFast Limo Green 7s Electric MPV Spied
      Made in Tamil Nadu
      VinFast has already inaugurated its Toothukudi facility in Tamil Nadu, the company’s first manufacturing plant outside Vietnam. The new facility will support local production and exports, and the Limo Green could very well be one of the first models assembled there.
      In Vietnam, the Limo Green is priced at around VND 749 million (approx. Rs 25 lakh), inclusive of a 7-year/1.6 lakh km warranty. If priced competitively in India, the model could be a strong addition to the growing electric MPV segment. With local testing now underway, expect the VinFast Limo Green to make its Indian debut sometime next year, strengthening the brand’s portfolio alongside the VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs. More
