2025 Bajaj Chetak Electric Scooter SpiedRajiv Bajaj recently revealed that Chetak has become the No 1 selling electric scooter in India for Dec 2024
Bajaj is gearing up to launch the updated 2025 Chetak electric scooter on December 20, and fresh spy shots provide a closer look at what’s in store. Spotted testing near Bajaj’s Pune plant, the new Chetak hints at key updates, including a revamped design, potential new features, and improved performance. Latest spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiast Anvay Sheolikar.
New Chassis and Platform for Better Performance
The upcoming 2025 Bajaj Chetak is expected to utilize a brand-new platform with a lighter chassis. This move could enhance its handling, agility, and range. One noticeable change from the spy shots is the potential relocation of the battery pack to the floorboard area. This would result in improved weight distribution, lower center of gravity, and more stability during cornering, braking, and low-speed maneuvers.

The updated battery pack could also introduce better energy efficiency, higher capacity, and improved safety features. If so, the new Chetak could offer an extended range to compete with rivals like Ola S1, Ather 450X, and TVS iQube.
Enhanced Storage and Practicality
Spy shots reveal that Bajaj may address a key concern with the current Chetak models—limited storage space. By relocating the battery, under-seat storage could be significantly improved, making it more practical for daily use. This change could align the Chetak with competitors that already offer larger storage compartments.

Possible New Features
While the overall retro-modern styling remains intact, subtle design tweaks can be seen in the test units. The body panels showcase slight refinements, and new color options may be introduced to give buyers more choices. The rear section shows redesigned tail lamps with a sleeker LED pattern, adding a fresh touch to its appearance.

The instrument cluster might also receive an upgrade, potentially offering a more advanced display with features like smartphone connectivity and navigation. One of the test mules is wearing steel wheels, which is new for Chetak as all variants today are seen with alloys.
Lower Pricing and Market Strategy
To widen its reach, Bajaj could introduce the new 2025 Chetak at a lower starting price, making it more competitive. As with the current model, multiple variants are expected, catering to diverse customer preferences. The existing Chetak lineup is priced between Rs 95,998 and Rs 1,28,744, depending on the variant. A more affordable base model for 2025 could further strengthen Bajaj’s position in the electric two-wheeler market.

Bajaj is positioning the 2025 Chetak as the “Best Chetak yet,” as teased in promotional materials. With their market share in electric scooter segment growing, the new Chetak aims to bolster its reputation as a reliable and stylish choice in the electric scooter segment.

Spied for the first time, new TVS Apache ADV showcases a promising design and features that position it as a strong contender against rivals like KTM 390 Adventure and Royal Enfield Himalayan. It is likely to be powered by TVS’s newly unveiled 300cc RT-XD4 engine, marking a significant technological leap for the company.
2025 TVS Apache ADV Spied For First Time
The latest spy shots reveal several design and feature highlights of the Apache RTX 310. The motorcycle sports a semi-fairing design with a prominent tower-like instrument cluster, likely housing a full-color TFT display offering navigation, music controls, and advanced ride analytics. The instrument cluster looks similar to the one seen on Raider 125. Not the vertical one on other TVS and BMW bikes based on the 310 platform.

2025 TVS Apache ADV is equipped with alloy wheels, possibly sized at 19 inches for the front and 17 inches for the rear, catering to both on- and off-road adventures. Other notable elements include a rugged luggage rack, an upswept twin-shooter exhaust, and a scooped-out seat for enhanced rider comfort. Additionally, handlebar-mounted ORVM stalks and auxiliary lights, which might be standard fitment considering TVS’s feature-rich offerings, add to its practicality.
The suspension system features USD telescopic front forks, with two finishes observed in the test mules—gold and black—indicating the possibility of multiple variants with differing features. A tall windscreen, side guards, and a well-thought-out seating arrangement further enhance its touring capability.

With features like dual overhead camshafts, a dual cooling jacket cylinder head, and a split chamber crankcase with a dual oil pump, the engine is designed for linear torque delivery and improved fuel efficiency. This new platform also supports better cooling, reduced oil consumption, and compliance with future emission norms.
Compared to the previous 312.12cc engine, the RT-XD4 engine likely to offer nearly identical performance numbers but promises better refinement, enhanced cooling, and potentially lighter weight, resulting in improved power-to-weight ratio and overall riding dynamics. These advancements make it ideal for adventure touring applications.
2025 TVS Apache ADV Spied
The TVS Apache RTX 300 is expected to hit the market by mid-2025. With its cutting-edge features, rugged design, and the advanced RT-XD4 engine, it is set to strengthen TVS Motor’s presence in the premium motorcycle segment and offer a compelling choice for adventure enthusiasts.

New Maruti eVitara Electric SUVIn India, Maruti eVitara electric SUV will rival the likes of Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6, MG ZS EV and upcoming Hyundai Creta EV
In the Indian market, Maruti Suzuki used to be known as the maker of small and budget cars. The company has successfully expanded its portfolio with many premium offerings. All of Maruti’s vehicles are either ICE or self-charging Hybrids. Now, the company is gearing up to launch its maiden electric vehicle.
eVitara debuted recently in Milan, Italy. Testing of this electric vehicle is underway and makes periodic appearances. The most recent spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiast Ankit who spotted this test mule in Gurgaon, Haryana. Let’s take a closer look at Suzuki’s maiden electric vehicle for the world and India.

Maruti eVitara Electric SUV Spied
The strategic partnership between Suzuki and Toyota has proved fruitful for both brands with multiple badge-engineered products between them. Suzuki’s new EV, which has been under rigorous testing, will spawn a Toyota counterpart, as confirmed by the brand recently. Production will commence in Spring 2025 and launch will happen by Summer 2025.
The recent spy shots show eVitara from up close. It was draped in camouflage like previous test mules. We can see that it has quite a bit of road presence, owing to its strong design elements. Design-wise, recently debuted eVitara shows a striking sporty fascia with a closed-off grill and some aggression.

Headlights with LED DRLs look muscular with a strong presence and bumper includes an opening in the shape of a bull bar along with fog lights. Charging port is positioned at the front left quarter panel. Suzuki seems to be aiming for a slightly sloping roofline, which is in-trend currently in India and major global markets.
It will measure 4,275 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, 1,635 mm in width and has a 2,700 mm long wheelbase. Minimum ground clearance is 180 mm and it has a kerb weight between 1,702 kg and 1,899 kg. There’s disc brakes on all four wheels. Wheel sizes will go up to 19-inches, but the one spotted in India had 18-inch wheels wrapped with 225/55 MRF Wanderer tyres.

Specs & Features
Suzuki eVitara and its Toyota counterpart will come equipped with either a 49 kWh or 61 kWh battery pack, with the latter offering dual-motor 4WD option. Based on a born-electric platform, eVitara is primarily a FWD vehicle packing up to a 172 bhp and 189 Nm motor. With 61 kWh variant, 4WD variant brings a rear electric motor with 64 bhp at the rear for a total system output of 181 bhp and 300 Nm.
Interiors have been revealed too, featuring a floating centre console, vertically oriented AC vents, a 2-spoke steering wheel, dual free-standing screens with the latest connectivity suite and high-quality materials, as it is a global product. Speculations suggest Suzuki eVitara will launch in Europe and Japan first and then in markets like India, even though part of the production happens here. A similar strategy to Jimny lifestyle SUV.

Mahindra BE 6e spied in South Korea. Credit – Namcha CafeWith its born-electric SUVs like BE 6e, Mahindra has plans to get the attention of the global audience in addition to the domestic market
Mahindra recently introduced the BE 6e and XEV 9e electric SUVs at a starting price of Rs 18.90 lakh and Rs 21.90 lakh, respectively. These born-electric SUVs have set new benchmarks that are relevant at the global level. Mahindra has plans to make these next-gen EVs available across multiple overseas markets.
Mahindra BE 6e spied in South Korea
On the day of its launch, BE 6e was spotted in South Korea in a parking lot. The test unit was fully camouflaged, similar to the ones we had seen in India prior to launch. It is possible that South Korea could be one of the global markets where Mahindra may be planning to introduce its born-electric SUVs.
New Mahindra BE 6e in India
South Korea is ranked amongst the top 10 automotive markets in the world. And the country is aiming to increase EV penetration, which is currently around 10%. There are plans to have around 4.2 million EVs on the roads by 2030. These factors present significant opportunities for EV manufacturers.
Mahindra sells its cars in various countries such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, UAE, Sri Lanka, European nations and Indonesia. Some South-Central American countries are also covered such as Chile, Peru and Guatemala. Even though Mahindra is currently not active in South Korea, it does have a past connection. South Korea based SsangYong Motor Company was acquired by Mahindra in 2011. The deal was valued at US$463.6 million.

Some successful products were launched in the following years such as the Tivoli SUV. Based on the same platform, the XUV300 sub-4m SUV was launched in India in 2019. Mahindra and SsangYong were also working on plans to launch high-performance, mass market electric cars in South Korea. However, the plans were dashed after a decision was made to stop funding for SsangYong. The company was later acquired by the KG Group.

Mahindra BE 6e – Key specs
Two variants will be on offer, one with a 59-kWh battery pack and the other with a 79-kWh unit. These are LFP battery packs that are considered relatively safer than standard lithium-ion battery packs. With the larger capacity battery, BE 6e will have a certified range of 682 km (MIDC P1+P2). The SUV has a 3-in-1 integrated powertrain that generates 210 kW of peak power (285 PS). Acceleration is pretty fast, with 0 to 100 km/H achieved in 6.7 seconds. Charging from 20% to 80% will take just around 20 minutes when using a 175-kW fast charger.
For complete peace of mind, Mahindra is offering lifetime battery warranty. But this will be applicable to only the first owners (private registration). In case the first owner sells the car, the next owner will be eligible for standard battery warranty of 10 years or 200,000 km. With such class-leading warranty offers, Mahindra has effectively taken care of the usual worries and anxieties that people have about battery maintenance and replacement cost. More
Tata Sierra EV SpiedExterior detailing on the production model of Tata Sierra EV is largely the same as seen with the concept
Tata Motors will be introducing the Sierra EV next year in both ICE and EV formats. In its concept form, the SUV was last showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo. Ahead of its launch, images of the production model have leaked online. Most of the styling bits seen with the concept version have been retained in the production model. Use of Tata’s new design language is evident, which can also be seen with other cars such as Curvv EV and upcoming Harrier EV.
Sierra EV – What to expect?
Sierra EV has a prominent closed-off grille section, top mounted full-width LED strip and a chiselled bonnet with distinctive lines. It has a strong presence when viewed from the side as well. Key highlights include flush door handles, door moulding, squarish wheel arches, thick body cladding, roof rails and sporty alloy wheels.
Tata Sierra EV Spied
Sierra EV’s charging port is located at the rear on the left side. One of the USPs of Sierra EV is that it retains the signature features of the original ICE Sierra. Key among them are the wide B pillars and the wraparound glass effect at the rear.
With the use of a black plastic finisher, the rear windows merge seamlessly with the rear windshield. The same is applicable for the combo of the rear windows and the panoramic sunroof. However, that effect cannot be seen in these images, as only the side and front view has been captured.
Tata Sierra EV Concept
At the rear, Sierra EV has sharp tail lamps and a full-width LED strip. A prominent bumper section complements the SUV’s dominating profile. A tailgate mounted spare wheel, as seen with the original Sierra, would have added more dynamism. However, that’s not available. At least, not with this particular unit. The spare wheel for Sierra is likely to be in the lower section of the boot.
Tata Sierra EV Concept
Tata Sierra EV – Performance
Tata has not revealed any specs about the electric powertrain to be used with Sierra EV. The SUV could be using a 45 kWh or 55 kWh battery pack. Range could be around 550 km. While a single motor setup will be standard, it remains to be seen if a dual-motor configuration with AWD is also available.
During an investor’s meet, Tata recently announced that Sierra will be launched by the end of 2025. Before that, a preview could be provided around the 2025 festive season. Sierra will be available in both EV and ICE versions. As Tata is the market leader in the EV segment and wants to strengthen its position, Sierra EV is likely to be introduced first before the ICE model. A similar approach was utilized for Curvv. The Curvv EV was launched in August 2024, followed by the ICE variant in September 2024.

Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle SpiedUpcoming Royal Enfield Faired Motorcycle Spotted: A New Chapter in Performance and Design with Potential 750cc Engine
Royal Enfield continues to captivate motorcycle enthusiasts with exciting developments in its mid-capacity range. The latest spy shots of a new faired motorcycle, likely based on the Continental GT 650, bring fresh intrigue as the brand explores expanding its offerings. Adding to the excitement, this is likely the first Royal Enfield which will be powered by a larger 750cc engine.
Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
Latest spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiasts Daniel M and Matthews, who managed to spot this new motorcycle in Chennai. This new motorcycle, which could be positioned as a sportier iteration of the Continental GT 650, features several key updates.
Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
The most noticeable change is the fairing, which is more substantial and extends lower than the bikini fairing seen on earlier test mules. This new design not only adds visual appeal but also hints at improved aerodynamics and potential touring capabilities. The fairing integrates turn indicators, and the front continues to sport the signature circular LED headlight, maintaining the brand’s classic aesthetic.
The test bike is equipped with sporty clip-on handlebars that promise a committed, cafe racer riding position. The longer seat design indicates an added focus on rider and pillion comfort for extended rides. Alloy wheels, a black exhaust, and tubeless tyres further enhance the bike’s modern appearance and performance attributes.

The dual front disc setup is also visible, which could mean improved braking efficiency and a move towards enhanced safety. The presence of a concealed digital display unit inside the fairing points to a sleeker cockpit design.

Potential Upgrade: 750cc Engine Development
One of the most exciting developments is the potential introduction of a 750cc parallel-twin engine. It has been rumoured since a few years now that Royal Enfield has been working on increasing the displacement of its existing 650cc engine to 750cc. This new powertrain is expected to deliver more power than the current 46 bhp output, providing an even more thrilling ride.
Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
The latest Royal Enfield motorcycle spied here, is carrying a new engine casing, which is likely to be the 750cc and not the 650cc on offer currently. This test mule features dual front brake discs—a first for Royal Enfield—indicating that the brand may be exploring component testing to match the increased power of the 750cc engine.

A Broader 650cc and 750cc Lineup
This new faired model will join Royal Enfield’s robust 650cc lineup, which includes the Continental GT 650, Interceptor 650, Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, Bear 650, and the recently showcased Classic 650. If the faired model receives the new 750cc engine, it would set a new benchmark for performance in Royal Enfield’s portfolio. The current 650cc twin engine is already celebrated for its refinement, smooth NVH levels, and torque-rich delivery, and the larger 750cc variant is expected to enhance these attributes further. More
2025 Hunter 350 Spied
With a low kerb weight, upcoming 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 will be the most performant 350cc motorcycle from the company’s lineup
Royal Enfield has been the dominating force and a runaway success in the premium 350cc to 500cc motorcycle segment. With time, Royal Enfield has been updating its 350cc portfolio. First, we saw the new Bullet 350, then 2024 Classic 350 and now, we have come across the first ever update to Hunter 350.
2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350
With a slew of 350cc retro motorcycles, Royal Enfield has established itself as an undisputed king of premium motorcycle manufacturers in India within the 350cc, 450cc and 650cc segments. It is the company’s 2nd best-selling vehicle after Classic 350 and is also Royal Enfield’s lightest motorcycle.
2025 Hunter 350 Spied
Hunter 350 is the most affordable 350cc motorcycle in Royal Enfield’s lineup and is a major draw for Indian buyers. Starting at Rs 1.5 lakh (Ex-sh) for the base Factory variant and Rs 1.7 lakh (Ex-sh) for Metro variant, Hunter 350 offers varied attributes to cater to a wider audience base.
As seen in the spy shots, 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 comes equipped with a few new elements when compared to current model. The main new addition with upcoming Hunter 350 is its LED headlight, which replaces the smaller halogen unit with current model.
2025 Hunter 350 Spied
This headlight setup is round in shape and looks similar to the ones offered with other Royal Enfield motorcycles. Another change spotted on this test mule is a new rear suspension setup. Current model offers linear shock absorbers that were known to offer a stiff ride resulting in an unpleasant experience.
The new rear twin shock absorber setup has progressive springs with two distinct Spring Coefficients (K). This allows manufacturers to tune the motorcycle’s ride quality as there will be two stages of dampening for different types of loads and road conditions. There may be slight variance in bike’s seat height with the new suspension.
What to expect?
The new LED headlight might only be offered with a more expensive Metro variant, while the base Retro will continue to get a halogen unit. This may be done to retail the bike’s sweet Rs 1.5 lakh (Ex-sh) starting price. The new suspension might be offered with top Metro variant only as the second test mule still had linear rear springs.
Powertrain will remain the same. A 349cc air-cooled single-cylinder motor that is capable of generating 20.2 bhp of peak power and 27 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. With a low kerb weight of 181 kg, Hunter 350 is the most performant 350cc Royal Enfield on sale. Launch might happen in early 2025.
