      2025 Tata Sierra EV Spied Next To Safari Ahead Of Launch

      by

      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.

      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 Spied – Fairing, Front Dual Disc, Long Seat, New Engine

      by

      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.
      Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
      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.

      2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Spied Testing – Launch Soon

      by

      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.

      Aprilia Tuareg 457 Spied Testing – Himalayan, 390 ADV Rival Based On RS457

      by

      Aprilia Tuareg 457 SpiedBased on the RS457 fully-faired motorcycle platform, Aprilia Tuareg 457 will pack the same engine with around 47 bhp and 44 Nm
      With the rise in popularity, ADV segment in India has been booming. Especially where sub 500cc motorcycles are concerned. We have the mighty Royal Enfield Himalayan and soon-to-launch KTM 390 Adventure. Now, Aprilia is set to make a grand entrance with an ADV based on the RS457 fully-faired motorcycle.
      First-ever spy shots of Aprilia Tuareg 457 have emerged on the internet. As seen in these images, it was set up for rallying and even contains a Rally Tower, which will not make it to production. Rear of this bike clearly indicates the name 457 on it, confirming that it is indeed based on RS457 platform. Let’s take a look.
      Aprilia Tuareg 457 Spied
      Aprilia Tuareg 457 Spied Testing
      Ever since the launch of Aprilia RS457, motorcycling fraternity has been awaiting more vehicles based on this platform. For the first time, Aprilia is branching out of this platform and has formulated an ADV. First ever leaked images show a handsome machine with rugged attributes as demonstrated by the rally setup.
      Production model will not get some of these elements seen on this rally-spec motorcycle. For starters, it will not get a Rally Tower, while other elements might make it to production. We can see the same engine as RS457 and this rally-spec machine even has the 457 branding on it, thus confirming its powertrain.
      Aprilia Tuareg 457 Spied
      Twin-pod headlights housed in a cage, tall windscreen, a front beak, aerodynamic fuel tank shrouds, a large radiator, long travel suspension with USD telescopic front forks finished in a Gold shade and a beefy bash plate protecting the engine are notable elements. The mainframe is finished in a red shade, while subframe is covered with stylish body panels.
      There are wire-spoke wheels with a 21-inch front and 17-inch or 18-inch rear setup. These wheels are wrapped with knobby tyres for rally setup, while there may be more road-biased dual-sport tyres with production model. We can expect the same TFT instrument cluster and switchgear with Aprilia Tuareg 457 as RS457.
      Tuareg 457 from Aprilia
      The same engine as RS457
      Where powertrains are concerned, the 457 lettering on Tuareg 457 confirms its displacement. We have to wait to see whether it will be tuned to make the same metrics as RS457 – 47 bhp and 43.5 Nm. It will get a 6-speed gearbox, slip and assist clutch, single disc setups at both ends with dual-channel ABS and a few electronic rider aids.
      Tuareg 457 from Aprilia
      Aprilia Tuareg 457 seen in this rally specification is tuned for Africa Eco Race in December 2024. Since the rally-spec model is out in the wild, a production version is highly likely to in development. It might be produced at Piaggio’s Baramati plant in India and pricing might be under Rs 5 lakh (Ex-sh).

      2025 RE Interceptor 650 Spied With Updated Components, Features

      by

      2025 RE Interceptor 650 Spied
      With the updated 2025 RE Interceptor 650, the company is fortifying its leading position in the 500cc+ motorcycle segment in India
      Ever since its launch, Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 has been one of the most popular offerings in India. This is India’s most affordable multi-cylinder offering and is a major draw for buyers looking to upgrade from their single-cylinder bike. Interceptor 650 is now getting a major update and could launch in 2025.
      2025 RE Interceptor 650 Spied
      The 500cc+ motorcycle segment was a slow-selling one with very little action, owing to the high price point of these offerings. However, Royal Enfield saw an opportunity and has grasped the segment with its 650cc platform. Among the upcoming offerings are Classic 650, Bullet 650, Scram 650 (Interceptor Bear 650) and Himalayan 650.
      2025 RE Interceptor 650 Spied
      But a new 650cc motorcycle has been spied that bears significant updates to its components and could be the next best thing in 500cc+ motorcycle segment. We’re talking about the 2025 RE Interceptor 650 which has been equipped with serious kit, transforming its “affordable” appeal into something more.
      As seen in the spy shots, we can see 2025 Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 in all its glory. Overall silhouette remains similar to the current model. We can see the same teardrop-shaped fuel tank, identical mainframe and subframe, the same single-piece seat along with lighting elements.
      Updated Interceptor 650
      Where the biggest change arises, is in features and componentry. For starters, we now get upgraded braking equipment with 2025 Interceptor 650. Front gets dual disc setup as opposed to current model’s single disc setup. The last motorcycle from a major brand that offered dual disc setup under Rs 4 lakh was Benelli 302 R.
      Another major change we can notice from this particular test mule is that it gets a single-pod instrument cluster, replacing the twin-pod analog-digital unit on current model.? This particular instrument cluster might be the same 5-inch circular TFT unit that debuted with Himalayan 450 that supports music controls and Google Maps.
      Updated Interceptor 650
      What to expect?
      The same instrument cluster is also spied with with the Scrambler version of Interceptor 650, likely to be called Interceptor Bear 650. Unlike its Scrambler sibling, 2025 RE Interceptor 650 continues with twin exhaust setup and might feature an updated suspension setup for better driving dynamics.
      This test mule also donned alloy wheels and LED headlights. It will retain the same 648cc parallel twin oil-cooled motor that is capable of churning out 47 bhp of peak power and 52 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. Launch is likely to happen in 2025.

      Royal Enfield Electric Motorcycle Spied For The First Time Before Launch

      by

      Royal Enfield Electric Motorcycle SpiedRoyal Enfield will officially reveal their first electric motorcycle on 4th Nov 2024 – Launch expected in 2025
      India’s best selling brand in the middleweight motorcycle segment, Royal Enfield is now looking to achieve something similar in the EV space. There aren’t any CC limitations for electric two-wheelers. And brands have full freedom to create truly unique products that suit their target audience. Royal Enfield will unveil its first electric motorcycle on 4th November, 2024.
      Royal Enfield electric motorcycle – What to expect?
      Ahead of that, the first spy shots of this new motorcycle have now leaked online. Based on these images, it is likely that Royal Enfield’s first electric bike will be based on the Electrik 01 concept. An image of the prototype was first released in 2022. As it is seen being tested on the road, that means it is no longer a concept and is in near-production ready form.
      Royal Enfield Electric Motorcycle
      Royal Enfield has added an exclusive section on its website for its electric motorcycles. Teasers reveal a bike being dropped from the skies using a parachute. This hints at the possibility that the upcoming electric motorcycle could borrow its name from the Flying Flea, a motorcycle that was used during World War II. The shape of the parachute is an exact match with the sketches of the air-dropped Flying Flea motorcycles, released during World War II.
      Focus on urban mobility
      While such talks may be speculative, it is interesting to note that Royal Enfield had registered the ‘Royal Enfield Flying Flea’ trademark in 2020. On its website, Royal Enfield mentions that its new range of electric two-wheelers will hit the road soon and are designed for urban mobility. They will have agile characteristics, something that applies to the Flying Flea as well. However, for the 21st century, Royal Enfield electric motorcycles will offer the full range of connectivity and hi-tech features.
      Royal Enfield Electric Motorcycle Spied
      Leaked spy images reveal a retro profile, with circular headlamps and rear-view mirrors. The LED headlamp unit is similar to the other RE motorcycles. There’s a circular instrument cluster as well. It could be the same as or a derivative of the one in use with Himalayan 450. Features such as the classic tear-drop fuel tank design, Girder forks, rider-only seat and semi-circular rear fender are quite similar to that of the Flying Flea. The skinny wheels and tyres are another common feature. For an EV, such components can help reduce air drag and optimize range.
      Royal Enfield Electric Motorcycle Spied
      On 4th November, Royal Enfield is likely to provide some more information about its first electric motorcycle. In terms of performance, the first Royal Enfield electric motorcycle can be comparable to the brand’s popular 350 cc ICE motorcycles. Those with range anxiety may get some estimates on that as well.
      Himalayan 450 Electric
      Royal Enfield is also working on the electric version of Himalayan 450. As of now, extensive tests are underway to determine the platform’s capabilities. When ready, the Himalayan 450 electric platform will spawn a new range of electric two-wheelers.

      New Electric Scooter Spied Testing – To Rival Chetak, Vida, iQube?

      by

      New Electric Scooter Spied from Jitendra EVThe new electric scooter spied has premium elements like LED lighting, stylish design, 12-inch alloy wheels and disc brakes at both ends
      With automotive market booming, more buyers are looking into electric vehicles today, than ever before. This effect is compounded in the electric scooter segment, where acceptance is high and the market trends project decent growth. Among the OEMs present in this segment, is Jitendra EV and is coming up with their flagship product, as suggested by spy shots.
      New Electric Scooter Spied
      A new set of spy shots emerged from the internet recently, showing what looks like a premium electric scooter on testing. At first glance, this test mule had fake pretend number plates in a green shade, establishing that it is an electric vehicle. Where design is concerned, this test mule looked like it came out of a Vespa’s factory.
      Jitendra EV New Scooter
      However, this new electric scooter spied testing recently, is not from Vespa. The logo in the front, gives away the fact that it is from Jitendra EV, one of India’s leading electric mobility solutions providers. The company currently offers two lineups or sub-brands – JMT (JMT 1000 HS 26, JMT 1000 3K, JMT 1000 HS) and Primo (Primo, Primo S, Primo Plus).
      Unlike the JMT and Primo lineups, the upcoming electric scooter from Jitendra EV looks a league apart. We would reckon that the company will position this unnamed electric scooter as it flagship offering when launched.
      Jitendra EV New Scooter
      This upcoming electric scooter from Jitendra EV looks very premium and set to take on other established rivals like Ather Rizta, TVS iQube, Ola S1, Hero Vida and Bajaj Chetak. Even in terms of componentry, the new electric scooter spied, is a league above than what Jitendra EV is currently offering.
      How does it look?
      As seen in the spy shots, we can see round ORVMs in chrome finish. Headlights are round as too and are LEDs and it also looks like it has integrated LED DRLs. The front apron has a spine-like element with Jitendra EV logo on it. This is flanked by LED turn indicators. Front mudguard is large and seems to be engulfing 12-inch alloy wheels.
      Jitendra EV New Scooter
      There seems to be a flat floorboard along with a swooping and curvaceous side profile. Grab rail is of retro-type complementing the overall aesthetics of this new electric scooter. Seat is single-piece with a slight step for pillion. There are strong character lines on side body panels and there is a very interesting LED tail light unit.
      Jitendra EV New Scooter
      Battery specs are still under wraps, but we can expect it to provide around 100+ km of range on a single charge. There is a hub motor at the rear wheel that also looks aesthetically pleasing. Other notable elements include front and rear disc brakes. The bike looks close to production and launch could happen soon. More details might be revealed in the future.

      Creta EV, Carens EV Spied Together In Varanasi – To Share Parts, Powertrain ?

      by

      Creta EV, Carens EV Spied Together
      With mass market products like Creta EV and Carens EV, Hyundai and Kia will be gearing up for the tough competition ahead
      In the next few years, the EV segment will witness several new product launches from most of the leading brands. For the mainstream EV market, Hyundai and Kia will be placing their bets initially on Creta EV and Carens EV. These were recently spotted on road tests in Varanasi by automotive enthusiast Abhishek.
      Kia Carens EV – What to expect?
      Carens EV will be based on the ICE Carens facelift model that is expected to arrive in mid-2025. Spy shots reveal that Carens EV has new alloy wheels. Since it will be based on the ICE facelift model, some changes are expected across the front fascia. Much of the sheet metal will be common for both Carens EV and ICE Carens facelift. An earlier test vehicle was spotted with a new, more robust suspension setup. That will be necessary to bear the load of the battery pack.
      Kia Carens EV Spied
      To expand its market reach, Carens EV is expected to be offered in both 6-seater and 7-seater options. Features on the inside will be borrowed mostly from the ICE model. The Carens facelift has a number of exterior and interior features similar to the EV5. Some key highlights include dual 10.25-inch screens, a 360° camera and a panoramic sunroof. Carens EV will be getting a comprehensive range of ADAS features.
      Hyundai Creta EV – Key features
      As evident from the test vehicle, Creta EV has the same silhouette as that of the ICE variant. However, some distinctive features are evident such as the new design for the alloy wheels. These are aerodynamic, low drag units that can boost performance and range. Changes are likely at the front as well. Creta EV will be getting a closed-off grille and exclusive badging to highlight its electric underpinnings.
      Hyundai Creta EV Spied
      Earlier spy shots had revealed that Creta EV will be getting a new circular steering wheel with a 3-spoke design. One of the test vehicles was seen with distinctive ‘CRETA electric’ badging on the upholstery. To achieve a differentiation with the ICE mode, Creta EV is expected to get new interior theme options. Choices for the ambient lighting can also be more dynamic in comparison to the ICE model.
      Equipment list for Creta EV will be largely the same as that of the ICE model. However, some new features are likely, especially the ones possible only with an electric car. This approach may also be aimed at motivating potential customers to make the switch to electric. Features borrowed from the ICE variant will include dual 10.25-inch screens, front ventilated seats and panoramic sunroof. Creta EV will have leather wrapped steering wheel, electric parking brake with auto hold, USB ports and wireless charger.
      Hyundai Creta EV is expected to get a 45-kWh battery pack, linked to a 138 hp electric motor. Certified range could be around 450 km, whereas real-world range may be approximately 350 km. It is highly likely that the powertrain option could be common for Creta EV and Carens EV. More
