      2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV Spied With XUV3XO Design – Is It Getting Smaller Sub 4m Size?

      by

      2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedFacelifted Mahindra XUV400 EV will primarily rival Tata Nexon EV – It will also take on upcoming EVs from Maruti and HyundaiBeing at the top of India’s SUV game, Mahindra knows that it has to continually evolve with changing times and buyer trends. The company recently updated its aging XUV300 in a major overhaul inside and out. This very treatment is also incoming with XUV400. Will it be called XUV400 facelift? Or XUV4XO EV? That isn’t known yet.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedGiven Mahindra’s strategies with XUV300 and XUV400, there is a very good chance that the company will carry over XUV3XO’s fascia to XUV4XO EV or XUV400 facelift (name not confirmed). Spy video by PowerStrokePS shows the same approach. The fascia, however, will continue to split opinions.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedSaid test mule is fully covered in camouflage, and we could see identical front design on this vehicle as an XUV3XO. There are three grill openings on this particular test mule, just like XUV3XO. Final production version of XUV400 EV facelift might feature unique bumpers and closed-off grill designs.The main attribute that establishes this test mule as an electric offering is a charging port on front left quarter panel. Similar positioning as seen on current XUV400. Alloy wheels look like they are identical to the ones on XUV3XO. These are 17-inchers and have twin 5-spoke design pattern.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedThe big surprise?There is, however, a major revelation seen on this test mule that we weren’t expecting at all. If we took XUV300 and XUV400, there would be a size difference between those two vehicles. XUV3XO is a hair under 4 meters in length, while XUV400 is 4.2 meters in length, as it didn’t have to meet B Segment length constraints.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedIt seems that is not the case with upcoming XUV400 facelift. This one is looking like a sub 4m in length, just like XUV3XO. The only real benefit of XUV400 over XUV300 was boot space. But XUV3XO has a larger boot space (on paper) that is enough to rival Nexon EV. Thus negating the need of making a longer vehicle.This step will also ensure manufacturing efficiency and cost effectiveness in production. Every single body panel of XUV3XO can be used on XUV4XO. Safety features like 360-camera, Level-2 camera based ADAS, 5 Stars crash rating structure 6 airbags, TCS, ESP, all-four disc brakes along with LED lighting all around, will be identical to XUV3XO.2025 Mahindra XUV400 EV SpiedWhat to expect?On the inside, upcoming Mahindra XUV4XO EV will pack all the features as XUV3XO. We’re talking about soft touch materials, LED interior lights, 10.2-inch infotainment and instrument screens, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, push button start, leatherette seats and others.[embedded content]Powertrains-wise, Mahindra XUV4XO EV might come equipped with the same 34.5 kWh (375 km range) and 39.4 kWh (456 km range) battery options as XUV400. The same 148 bhp and 310 Nm single electric motor as XUV400 is likely too. Launch might happen later this year or in 2025.Also read – Mahindra Thar Roxx teaser confirms new features More

      by

      Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 Interceptor Bear SpiedRoyal Enfield is getting ready to launch yet another 650cc motorcycle – This one is a Scrambler called Interceptor Bear 650Royal Enfield has been kept busy with its plans to launch an average of 4 new / updated bikes every year. Just a day after the first spy shots of Himalayan 650 were leaked online, we now have production spec version of the Scrambler 650, which will be called Interceptor Bear 650 upon launch.Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 – Interceptor Bear 650Latest spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiast Sriram Adhithya. Upcoming RE Scrambler 650 has easy going vibes and appears to have a more versatile character. It has potential to emerge as Royal Enfield’s bestselling 650cc bike. With a distinct profile, Interceptor Bear 650 can appeal to folks who are looking to try something new. It is another aspect that can work to the bike’s advantage.Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 Interceptor Bear SpiedOne of the key differentiating factors is the two-into-one exhaust setup, in comparison to the dual exhaust pipes of Interceptor 650. Other unique features include braced handlebars for off-road tracks, new mudguards, new seat and oval race number plates on the sides. The bike will have some exciting colour options to choose from, including both monotone and dual-tone shades. The one in the spy shot seems to be having a red fuel tank and black body.Users can expect mild to moderate off-roading capabilities with Interceptor Bear 650. The bike is likely to have 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels. Both wheels are shod with knobby tyres, with the rear getting a deeper tread and chunkier profile. Suspension system comprises USD forks at front and dual rear shock absorbers.Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 Interceptor Bear SpiedThe USD forks seem to be borrowed from the Super Meteor. In comparison, Interceptor 650 is equipped with conventional 41mm telescopic forks. Scrambler 650 has disc brakes at both ends. Dual-channel ABS will be standard. Signature features such as the circular headlamps and rear-view mirrors have been retained. The fuel tank is new and has the classic tear-drop design. Scrambler 650 test mule can be seen with a circular instrument console, similar to that of Super Meteor 650.Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 Interceptor Bear SpiedRoyal Enfield Scrambler 650 performanceInterceptor Bear 650 will be using the 648cc, inline twin cylinder, 4-stroke, SOHC engine that generates 47 PS of max power and 52.3 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. As Scrambler 650 is expected to be lighter in comparison to other Royal Enfield 650cc bikes, it can have a higher power-to-weight ratio. Features like USD forks will also contribute to improving the bike’s overall performance. The steel tubular, double cradle frame will be the same as 650 twins.Upcoming Interceptor Bear 650 will allow RE to further strengthen its position in middleweight motorcycle segment. Royal Enfield dominates both the lower and higher spectrum of middleweight motorcycle segment. In 500cc plus segment, the company has a market share of more than 80%. As of now, Super Meteor 650 is the most popular 650cc Royal Enfield bike. It had raced ahead of the 650 twins and is leading by a significant margin. More

      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied In Detail – New Features Onboard

      by

      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 SpiedWhen launched, Bajaj Pulsar N125 spied, will rival sporty 125cc commuter bikes like Hero Xtreme 125R and TVS Raider 125Revolutionizing Indian sporty affordable motorcycle segment, Bajaj Pulsar line has dwelled into the hearts of millions. Bajaj already sells a multitude of Pulsars across multiple displacements and body styles. There is a new Pulsar in the works that should carry a 125cc engine and might launch around the festive season. Let’s take a look.Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied AgainIf we take Bajaj’s sales performance, Pulsar is the best-selling model, sidelining other sub brands. But if we break the sales in terms of displacement, it is the 125cc Pulsars that outsell every other type of Bajaj offerings. Bajaj is now coming up with a new 125cc Pulsar that should push sales envelope even further.Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied AgainCurrently, Bajaj sells Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS125. The range will see a new addition with what is believed to be a Bajaj Pulsar N125. Spotted testing on multiple occasions, Bajaj Pulsar N125 will be the most sporty 125cc Pulsar from Bajaj and is expected to weigh a lot less than the 144kg Pulsar NS125.Latest test mule sighting from The Fat Biker, show more details about this upcoming vehicle. For starters, it looks a lot more aggressive in its design which should pit it directly against Hero Xtreme 125R and TVS Raider 125.[embedded content]We can see accentuated tank shrouds for aggression, there seems to be front fork covers for a muscular appeal, there is stacked LED headlight setup, Pulsar-style split LED tail light setup, split seat design with a stepped pillion seat, tyre hugger, stylish single-piece grab rail, front disc brake, same alloy wheels as Pulsar P150 and other elements.Indicators are still halogen bulbs with the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar N125, while Hero is offering LED ones in Xtreme 125R. Bajaj aims to further consolidate its position in the 125cc segment with a sporty offering that looks imposing and from a segment above. In that regard, the new Bajaj Pulsar N125 certainly delivers.Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied AgainSame engine as NS125?Where powertrains are concerned, there is a good probability that Bajaj might implement the same 11bhp and 11.8 Nm 124.45cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine as Pulsar NS125. Or, there might be a new engine derived from N150’s unit with slightly higher numbers. We can see an underbelly exhaust with Pulsar N125 and a 5-speed gearbox will do duties.Features-wise, Bajaj Pulsar N125 will get a reverse LCD fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. There is a good probability that turn-by-turn navigation will be on offer considering its arch rival, TVS Raider offers a 5-inch colour TFT screen with a lot more features.Also read – Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG delivery starts More

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 Spied – Dual Disc In Front, USD Forks

      by

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 Dual Disc SpiedFor the first time ever, a Royal Enfield motorcycle is getting adjustable suspension and front dual-disc brake setup among othersIndian motorcycling enthusiasts are in for a treat as Royal Enfield is coming up with a new 650cc motorcycle. No. We’re not talking about the Bullet 650 and Classic 650 or even the Scram 650 (Interceptor Bear 650). This is a lot more exciting. Say Namaste to the first ever Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 spy shots.Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 SpiedAfter multiple rumours, speculations and featuring in a few official internal presentations, Royal Enfield has finally commenced the testing of Himalayan 650. This is the first time, Royal Enfield is creating a truly premium offering and when launched, it will be positioned as the company’s flagship.Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 SpiedThe test mule in question, was completely camouflaged. But the design attributes that it brings to the table easily position it as a Royal Enfield. The same 648cc parallel-twin mill from other RE 650 motorcycles can be seen on this bike too. There is a single exhaust setup, which is of an up-swept design for better water wading.Seating layout is of split-type design with front seat scooped out for comfort and convenience while pillion seat is stepped. There are braces on the rear subframe that end into a rear luggage rack. Just like Himalayan 450, tail lights are integrated into its turn indicators. There are new ORVMs for better visibility too.Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 SpiedUnlike Himalayan 450, upcoming Himalayan 650 has a semi fairing that makes it more of a tourer than an adventure off-roader. The first motorcycle that this test mule reminded me of, was Benelli TNT 600 GT. This bikini fairing engulfs the fuel tank in a soothing manner. We hope the fuel tank is 20L+ for maximum range on a single tank.We can see a circular instrument cluster that looks like it is fully digital TFT unit. The angle of this screen was facing rider, which is better for touring as it falls in rider’s peripheral vision. This could very well be the same Tripper Dash we saw with Himalayan 450 and just launched Guerrilla 450. So, Google Maps, music control and other telemetry features will be present.Royal shares launch plans of 13 new motorcyclesSpecs and PriceFor the first time ever, Royal Enfield is testing dual disc setup at the front on any of its motorcycles. These are dual petal-type rotors. Owing to its touring bias, Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 spied, doesn’t get 21-inch front wheels, although they’re still wire-spoke type compatible with tubeless tyres.This is the first Royal Enfield ever to get adjustable suspension. We can see adjusters for front USD telescopic forks. This is also the first Royal Enfield 650cc offering to get a mono-shock rear suspension. Powertrain-wise, it will carry over the same 648cc parallel twin oil-cooled motor. We expect it to make slightly more power at around 50 bhp and 60 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.Royal Enfield New Himalayan 450Owing to the premium componentry, design, appearances and other elements, Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 will comfortably cost around the Rs 4 lakh mark. When launched, it will be the most affordable middle-weight ADV rivaling Kawasaki Versys 650, Benelli TRK 502 and the likes.Source More

      Mahindra XUV700 EV Coupe Interiors Spied – Dashboard, Sunroof, Seats, Steering

      by

      Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeUpcoming Mahindra XUV700 EV Coupe (XUV.e9) is likely to pack 80 kWh battery powering up to two electric motors with 200 km/h top speedTesting for Mahindra’s INGLO platform based vehicles is going in full swing. We have managed to get our hands on spy shots of XUV.e8, XUV.e9 and BE.05 electric SUV engineering test mules across the country. The latest spy shots show the interiors of Mahindra XUV700 EV Coupe (XUV.e9) in full detail. Let’s take a look.Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeWith electric vehicles taking more prominence than they ever did, more OEMs are taking the electric route. Mahindra is no exception and sells XUV400 in India. However, the company is on the verge of launching its INGLO platform-based born electric vehicles that will play a major role in Mahindra’s global expansion strategies.Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeIn the recent past, we posted XUV.e9’s interiors while it was loading on a plane, ready to be shipped abroad. For testing or for shooting TVCs, we presumed. But those test mules had a lot of testing equipment and were not very clear, showing fewer details about Mahindra’s upcoming electric coupe SUV.The new spy shots, however, show XUV.e9’s interiors in full clarity, revealing a lot more details we couldn’t grasp with previous spy shots. For starters, we can see that Mahindra XUV700 EV Coupe (XUV.e9) shares a lot of its switchgear and almost all of its components with XUV700. This is not a bad thing as XUV700 is quite a feature-loaded offering.Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeDashboard is the same as Mahindra XUV700’s, but we get a new free-standing triple-screen setup that takes centre stage. Dual-zone climate control panel and AC vents, headlight control stalk, wiper control stalk, interior door trims, centre console, seats, armrests and other attributes are the same as those of XUV700.Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeWhat are the changes?Apart from the new triple-screen layout that we mentioned above, there are a lot of new elements that these new spy shots show. For starters, there is a new twin-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo (Tata Motors vibes here). It is leather-wrapped and has horn pads at the ends for easy reach with thumbs (love it).Centre console still retains the lovely physical infotainment dial from XUV700, but there is a new and fancier gear selector with Blue accents. There seem to be extra speakers with XUV.e9 as suggested by the grill at the top of door trims, but this might just be a non-functional pattern too. What will be functional, though, is a hollow space on the dashboard which will be populated by a large HUD in the future.Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeThe illuminated logo we mentioned on XUV.e9 is likely to be specific to XUV.e lineup. This is a brand new logo, which looks an infinity. It is different than Mahindra’s Twin Peaks logo. So, we get old oval Mahindra logo for CVs, Twin Peaks for PVs, a new “Infinity” logo for XUV.e range and BE logo for, well, BE range of vehicles.We also get a closer look at the leather seats as well as the fixed glass roof. Powertrains-wise, we expect Mahindra XUV700 EV Coupe (XUV.e9) to pack up to an 80 kWh battery and an option for dual motor AWD layout with around 200 km/h top speed. Launch is likely to happen in 2025 and will rival Tata Safari EV.Also read – Mahindra BE.05 base model gets unique fascia More

      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied With Karizma’s 210cc Engine – New Details!

      by

      Hero Xpulse 210 SpiedUpcoming Hero Xpulse 210 spied, hints at a larger fuel tank and aerodynamic tank shrouds that should prove beneficial for cruisingAfter a long gap, Hero Xpulse 210 spy shots have made an appearance again. Maybe the testing was always active, but test mules went unnoticed owing to the stark similarities with Xpulse 200 4V. Either way, we’re excited to see Hero’s commitment to this product and we wish it launches soon.Hero Xpulse 210 SpiedThe concept of Karizma engine in a Hero ADV is nothing new. There are many Karipulse (horrendous name, though) out there blazing the trails. These were old Karizma engines mated to Impulse chassis by a few Hero dealerships. For track-use only, as these weren’t road-legal.A concept so good, that Hero MotoCorp is considering making one for the road. This is a culmination of Xpulse 200 4V chassis with the new 210cc DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine debuted with Karizma XMR 210. With this new engine, Xpulse will be bestowed with a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch and other attributes.Looking at the new spy shots, we can’t help but conclude that this is very close to production-spec. We say this because the previous set of spy shots taken from Leh Ladakh region in 2023 did not feature any additional design elements. The new spy shots, however, show aerodynamic tank shrouds and a larger fuel tank (please be 17L).Upcoming Hero Xpulse 210Hero MotoCorp seems to be testing out the touring capabilities of Xpulse 210 with aftermarket panniers. Conversely speaking, these might be Hero’s own panniers to be launched alongside the Xpulse 210. Attributes like tall windscreen, knuckle guards, rear luggage rack, a front beak, high ground clearance are carried over.What to expect?Xpulse 200 4V was a significant upgrade over the 2V with added refinement and performance. However, Xpulse 200 4V can’t be the only motorcycle in one’s garage as it lacks grunt for higher highway cruising speeds. Karizma’s 210cc engine packs 25.15 bhp of peak power and 20.4 Nm of peak torque.6.25 bhp and 3.05 Nm more than the current Xpulse 200 4V. The 6th gear, higher engine speeds, smoother liquid-cooled setup and the larger fuel tank of upcoming Xpulse 210 will ensure a better highway cruising experience and improved overall rideability. Dual-channel ABS might be added on top of all the componentry Xpulse 200 4V currently gets.Hero Xpulse 210 spotted testingFeatures-wise, we will get LED headlights, H-shaped LED DRLs, LED tail lights, engine cut-off sensor, engine kill switch, a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, USB charging port (Type-C, we hope). The spy shot showed 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke alloys as current Xpulse, front and rear disc brakes and others.We hope there is a Pro variant too, with fully adjustable front and rear suspension with significantly higher suspension travel and ground clearance to fully unlock the off-roading potential of this platform. Hero Xpulse 210 comes close to being the one motorcycle in the garage philosophy. At around Rs 1.6 lakh (Ex-sh), this would be something I’d personally buy.Also read – Hero Xpulse 440 spied testingSource – Motoroctane More
