Revolt RV1 : What do we know so far

The company had officially revealed that one of the its current bikes, the RV 300 would be replaced by the RV1 eventually. However, no other information is out. That said, with the appointment of a new CEO, things will now move at a faster pace.&nbsp;

Revolt RV1 : Specifications&nbsp;

The company might position this as a cheaper alternative to the RV400. However it will still offer a range of over 150km (eco mode)&nbsp;with the swappable battery feature also in place. This is hugely popular with current Revolt owners as well. No electric motor or battery specifications have been revealed yet. The RV300 had a 1.5KW motor and the same is expected here too. And yes, the RV1 will look like a motorcycle, and not a scooter or a step thru.&nbsp;

Revolt RV1 : Price &amp; Launch

This upcoming electric motorcycle will be cheaper than the RV400 and will continue to enjoy tax benefits as per the FAME scheme. Revolt has a huge backlog of orders and the current RV300 stock will be sold off to Dominos Pizza. The RV400 is sold out for the moment. But once the backlog of RV400 comes down, they will surely be looking at launching the RV1 electric motorcycle in India. Stay tuned!&nbsp;

The Kawasaki Z400 is a 399 cc Z series standard motorcycle introduced by Kawasaki unveiled at the 2018 EICMA in Milan, Italy. The Kawasaki Z400 exhibits a fresh street style.

The Kawasaki Z400 goes up against the KTM 390 Duke, BMW G 310 R, Honda CB300R, and the Yamaha MT-03 sportbikes in terms of rivals. The expected price range of Kawasaki Z400 in India is â‚¹ 4,00,000.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Overview

Royal Enfield will soon expand its lineup of 350cc neo-retro motorcycles with an all-new sub-brand, which is likely to be named Hunter. The new Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has spied doing test runs on Indian roads in semi-covered forms, which indicate that the motorcycle has an all-new design with expectedly the same engine as that of the Classic 350 and Meteor 350. This bike will primarily rival the Honda CB350RS and the Yezdi Scrambler.&nbsp; 
 
2022 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Design 
 
Compared to the Classic 350 and Meteor 350, which have a more cruiser-like persona, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 has a more upright roadster-like stance which is very much like the Interceptor 650. However, going by the spy pictures, the Hunter 350 will have a lot of neo-retro influence in its design, with highlights such as a round-themed halogen headlamp, turn indicators and tail lamp, tear-drop shaped fuel tank, round-edge side body panels and a nicely curved long seat. The handlebar will be slightly more upright, and like the Meteor 350, it is expected to come with alloy wheels as standard. The alloy wheels and engine are expected to have an all-black theme. Alloy wheels also mean this bike will have tubeless tyres, something missing on some of the other Enfield models that are on sale in India. The motorcycle is likely to have the same dual-pod instrument console from the Meteor 350, with one of them accommodating the &lsquo;Tripper&rsquo; navigation system. 
 
2022 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Mechanicals 
 
While the new Hunter 350 will be a radical departure from the Classic 350 and Meteor 350 by design, it will have the same engine as the other two motorcycles. The new four-stroke, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 349.34cc engine produces 20.2 PS of power and 27 Nm of torque in the Classic 350 and Meteor 350. The company might tune the bike different for a peppier ride, something that its rivals offer. A 5 speed gearbox will be standard. We hope it sounds better than the Classic / Meteor 350 as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 
2022 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Price and Launch 
 
Royal Enfield has been testing the Hunter 350 for quite a long time now, and the spy pictures also suggest that the motorcycle has reached the final stages of testing. In Royal Enfield&rsquo;s lineup, the Hunter 350 will be positioned in between the Classic 350 and Meteor 350, which indicates a price range of Rs 2-2.5 lakh for the motorcycle. It will rub shoulders with the Yezdi Scrambler and the Honda CB350RS&nbsp;

Last Updated On 14th Jun&#39;22:&nbsp;Audi will unveil the A8 L facelift on July 12 and we expect the price to stick between Rs 1.60 Cr to Rs 1.80 Cr, ex-showroom, Delhi. Once launch, the flagship sedan will compete with Mercedes-Benz S Class and BMW 7 Series.&nbsp;

Design Updates

This facelifted version of the A8L packs in a striking look at the front with a new grille design with chrome highlights, large airdams and a revised bumper design. The chrome strip runs across to the width of the bumper and the sedan also gets redesigned LED matrix headlights.&nbsp; The side profile remains more or less the same except for the new alloy wheels design.

It is a luxury electric vehicle which would be pitched against the likes of the Jaguar I-Pace, Mercedes Benz EQC and the Audi e-Tron and e-Tron sportback.

 
What do we expect?

We expect Volvo India to introduce the XC 40 recharge as a completely built unit initially. Later, as per the response, the brand can shift to opt for the CKD route and commence its assembly in the Indian Homelands. Thus, it is expected to carry the same design elements and an almost unaltered equipment list in India too! 
 
Volvo XC 40 Recharge Expected Powertrain

The Volvo XC 40 is expected to feature an all wheel drive configuration&nbsp;comprising of&nbsp;a dual 150kW motor setup for each axle&nbsp;powered by a 78 kWh battery with claimed 402 hp and 660 N-m torque. This capable powertrain and drivetrain combination delivers an insanely hard acceleration of&nbsp;4.9 seconds&nbsp;from knot to 100 kmph.

Undoubtedly, the Volvo XC 40 Recharge will be loaded with a ton of safety features like airbags, driver safety assist and on the whole, a rock solid build quality with high-end materials! 
 
Volvo XC 40 Recharge Launch Time&nbsp;

The launch of this electric vehicle was planned in the year 2021. However, it was delaye ddue to the pandemic. So, it is expected to be launched in the first quarter of this year itself.

Mahindra is expected to launch the Bolero Neo Plus in the Indian market soon. It will be based on the 5-seater Bolero Neo, however, the Plus version will be available in 7 and 9-seat configuration. It will be available in a diesel motor only and there will be no automatic transmission on offer. It packs in decent features too.&nbsp;

Engine Options

We believe that the Bolero Neo Plus will be powered by the same 2.2L diesel motor that was seen in the discontinued TUV300 Plus. This engine will generate as much as 119 bhp of power on tap with a peak torque of 280 Nm. A 6-speed manual transmission will be offered as a standard fitment.&nbsp;

Features

Do expect LED daytime running lights, projector headlight set-up, a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, manual AC, second-row AC vents, fabric seats and more.

In the following months, Maruti will launch a number of new SUVs in the Indian market. However, the three-row SUV in development is believed to be built on the Ertiga platform and might eventually replace the XL6 in the brand&#39;s lineup. Apart from that, the car is slated to receive significant design improvements that will help it compete effectively against rivals such as the Hyundai Alcazar, Kia Carens, the MG Hector Plus, and others.

&nbsp;What we know so far?

While information on the impending three-row SUV are limited at the moment, our industry source believes it would be based on the Ertiga platform. The launch of this revolutionary SUV is still a long way off. Furthermore, Maruti may simply replace Ertiga&#39;s more luxury variant, the XL6, with this new three-row SUV.

Performance

The 1.5-liter engine that powers several other Maruti vehicles such as the Ciaz, Vitara Brezza, Ertiga, and XL6 is anticipated to be retained in the new Maruti Y17. A 5-speed manual and a 4-speed automatic transmission are planned to be offered with this engine. The Indian automaker is also likely to offer an enhanced version of the mild-hybrid technology, which would provide greater fuel efficiency and somewhat improved performance in city traffic.

Features

In terms of interiors, we anticipate both a 6- and 7-seat arrangement for the upcoming SUV. The new SUV will almost certainly outperform the existing top-spec XL6 in terms of features. It&#39;ll include a 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, automated temperature control, automatic headlights, and cruise control, among other things.

Summary

More information, however, is pending confirmation. It is expected by the end of 2022 or the beginning of 2023. Maruti Suzuki is on a mission to deliver new models to the market, and the company is targeting every market category. The Maruti Suzuki Y17 will compete with the MG Hector, Hyundai Alcazar, and other vehicles when it is released.

Pricing

The brand has kept a tight lip about the launch and pricing of its upcoming three-row SUV. But the price is expected to be over Rs 15 Lakh.

Hyundai Creta 2022: Design 
The new front fascia on the Creta 2022 will be inspired by Hyundai&#39;s newest Sensuous Sportiness design philosophy, which can also be seen on the Tucson&#39;s latest worldwide spec version. Some of the key modifications on the outside of the upgraded car include a parametric jewel front grille, distinctive multi-LED daytime running lights, a redesigned front bumper, redesigned fog lamp housings, new alloy wheel design, new LED tail lamps, and a revamped rear bumper.

Hyundai launched the facelifted Venue a while ago and with this N Line version in the market, this really stands out. Offered with the 1.0L turbocharged petrol motor, it gets unique styling over the regular version and also sees some highlights that are reserved for this variant.&nbsp;

Engine Options

Features

It has a large touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an&nbsp;all-black interior with red stitching on the dashboard, AC vents, a steering wheel and more. It also gets automatic climate control, wireless charging, rear AC vents, air purifier, ambient lighting, Alexa connect and more such features

Hyundai, a South Korean carmaker, features a performance-oriented portfolio known as the N Line. In the international market, the N line includes various cars, but only the Hyundai i20 N Line is available in India. Another N Line model was recently teased, and it may be coming to India as well. The Hyundai Creta N Line, which was just hinted at, will be the company&#39;s next performance car. The N-Line series is a well-received lineup around the world.

What do we know so far?

The Creta N-Line is said to be a lot of fun to look at. Various designers have already posted anticipation sketches on the internet. The N-Line label will now officially add more athletic characteristics to the regular Creta. A sporty N-Line steering wheel and aluminum pedals are also speculated.

Design

The Creta N Line will be based on the SUV&#39;s pre-facelift model. Like the original Creta, the forthcoming Creta N Line features a substantially larger front grille that sits virtually flush with the headlamps. Like the new i20 N-Line, the Creta will get revised bumpers, dynamic side skirts, and visual improvements like carbon fibre bumper lips. This red stripe also extends to the car&#39;s side skirts. The Creta N Line&#39;s bodywork has signature double-barrel exhaust tips, which are now exclusive to Hyundai N Line cars.

Interior and Features

The interior of the Creta N Line will be modified to distinguish it from the standard model and to match the vehicle&#39;s sporty personality. The seats, like those on the i20 N Line, have red sporty piping and the &#39;N Line&#39; logo. On the steering wheel, the same thing can be observed. The red accent can also be found on the air vents, door handles, and gear lever. The car will also have new red ambient lights, which continue the red theme on the inside. The Creta N Line will include all of the features seen in the top-spec edition of the standard Creta.

Safety Features

The Creta N Line is believed to be built on the top-spec model, which means it will come standard with six airbags, ESC, ABS, EBD, Hill Start Assist Control (HAC), VSM, rear parking sensors with camera, TPMS, rear disc brakes, and ISOFIX child seat anchorage among other features.

Price And Launch

The Hyundai Creta N Line is expected to be released by the end of the year, although it will initially be introduced in South America, followed by other continents. In terms of pricing, it is expected to cost between Rs 15 and Rs 18 lakh in India.

Last Updated On 11th Jun&rsquo;22: Earlier in April Tata Altroz EV was spied on Indian roads. The Ziptron technology will be used in the Tata Altroz EV, as it is in the Nexon EV and Tigor EV. We expect it to come with a 30.2kWh battery pack that can produce up to 127 horsepower and has a driving range of 312 kilometres when it launches.&nbsp;

The upcoming Altroz electric, like its siblings the Nexon EV and <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/upcoming-tata-altroz-ev-spied-testing-launch-on-april-29-details">Tigor EV,</a> will have blue inserts, and distinctive alloy wheels, and we expect the signature teal blue colour to be a new addition as well.

Exterior

The pre-production Altroz EV that was showcased at the Expo, looked very similar to its non-EV counterpart, except for some key differences. Just like the other EVs in Tata&rsquo;s line-up, the Altroz EV also boasted an exclusive Teal Blue body paint. The front fascia gets a concealed grille with blue accents, instead of chrome, and star patterns on the front air dam. The alloy wheels displayed an aerodynamically friendly design as well. The rear fascia looks the same as those LED taillights, but the lack of tailpipes give away the EV pedigree.&nbsp;

Interior

Just like its petrol counterpart, the cabin of the Altroz EV is expected to remain familiar as well. However, the absence of a mechanical gearbox transmission will open up quite some space in the centre console. The single-speed gearshift selector is in front of the armrest, and the centre console has been split to resolve storage issues. The rest of the dashboard looks the same as well, including the steering wheel. However, whether the Altroz EV will get the same semi-digital instrument cluster or a fully digital one, just like the Tiago EV and Tigor EV, remains to be seen.&nbsp;

Features

Some of the features that the Altroz EV is expected to share with its petrol counterpart include automatic climate control, an infotainment system that supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ambient lighting on the dashboard and the doors. On the safety front, the Altroz EV should come with 2 standard airbags for the driver and the passenger side, ABS with Central Locking, an Anti-theft alarm, Child door lock, ISOFIX child seats, Rear camera, and seat belt pretensioners to name a few. However, Tata Motors is yet to confirm the exact features list of the Altroz EV.

Engine

The Tata Altroz EV is expected to be powered by the same Ziptron powertrain, also available with the Nexon EV. This powertrain equips a permanent magnet AC motor, in this case, it is a 95 kWh electric motor, that powers the front wheel. The electric motor draws power from a 30.2 kWh Lithium-ion battery in the Nexon EV, and the battery capacity might be bigger in the Altroz EV. Tata claims that the Altroz will have more mileage than the Nexon&rsquo;s ARAI-certified 312 km of range. The manufacturer also claims that the Altroz&rsquo;s battery will take 60 minutes to charge from 0-80% when plugged into a fast charger.&nbsp;

Launch and Price

As we&rsquo;ve mentioned before, the Altroz EV was supposed to launch in late-2020, but the pandemic postponed it. Now, the Altroz EV is expected to go on sale in the first half of 2022. Being the only premium electric hatchback in the segment, expect Tata to price the Altroz EV at around Rs. 12 lakh.&nbsp;

With the price range in India estimated to start from Rs 35 Lakh, the Jeep 7-seater model will rival Toyota Fortuner.

Last updated On 17th Jun&#39;22: As of now, there is no confirmation about the launch of Toyota C-HR but we do expect that if at all it is launched in the Indian market, it will rival against the Hyundai Tucson and Jeep Compass.

Engine Options

Globally, the C-HR is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder DOHC petrol motor that churns out 144 hp of power with a peak torque of 188 Nm of peak torque. This engine is mated to a CVT unit. Upon launch, this can be a downside for the carmaker as there is no diesel engine on option. The SUV follows a FWD set-up.&nbsp;

Price And Launch

As of now, the launch is not confirmed but when it is launched, we do expect a higher pricing. It is priced from Rs 18-19 lakh in the International market

Summary

Nexo is the first SUV to use Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology in mass production. It demonstrates to the public that hydrogen is a totally safe solution that provides the best of both worlds: the environmental friendliness and responsiveness of an electric vehicle without the charging time. LED headlights with automated high beams and power-adjustable, ventilated front seats will be standard on the Nexo. Forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert are all included in the standard safety package.

Last updated on 9th Jun&#39;22:&nbsp;Tata has shown an electric version of its iconic SUV Sierra at the 2020 Auto Expo. Sierra is expected to return to the market as an electric vehicle, keeping its classic design concept with it.

Tata Sierra Quick Review 
Tata Sierra is a cult SUV from Tata Motors that was once a very popular choice in the Indian market. Known for its special rear windowpane design, Sierra found an immediate fan following pan India. Tata Motors is now working on the new Sierra SUV, which Tata showcased as a prototype at the Indian Auto Expo 2020 in an all-electric form. Expected to be launched as an EV, Sierra is bound to make a comeback to the market whilst carrying its iconic design philosophy.

Tata Sierra Exteriors 
The exterior design of the Sierra resembles the older generation Sierra SUV. The boxy design is beautifully carved with sharp lines and slight curves keeping context with Tata&#39;s Impact 2.0 design philosophy. A futuristic design from the ALFA-ARC form at the front that resembles production models like Punch, Harrier, and Safari; Sierra is bound to be a looker at first glance. The fixed twin-windowpane design is carried in the new Sierra too. The rear of the Sierra uses a large rectangular windshield which is well-integrated with a panoramic moonroof thus giving the cabin a hotel-like experience. With Tata badging and Sierra littering at back, this minimalistic design caresses the bold and big Sierra with a single wraparound LED taillight. 
Tata Motors has been winning the hearts of customers with great design options and the Sierra will be no different!&nbsp;

Tata Sierra Interiors 
Tata Sierra interiors are very minimalistic and provide a large cabin space. The showcased prototype of Sierra came with two + one seating type. While the front passengers get the individual seats, the rear seat is designed as a single unit in L-shape which is reworked like a large couch. This gives the rear seating ambiance a hotel-like environment. Although this was seen on the prototype variant, we expect the production model to be very different in terms of interior design. As with most Tata offerings, expect a roomy cabin with a larger, useable boot.&nbsp;

Tata Motors has not revealed any features of Sierra. Going by the standard fitments seen in the prototype variant, we feel that Sierra will come along with some segment-first features. What&#39;s expected is the large cabin space and use of futuristic design elements.

Tata Sierra Engine

The Tata Sierra is set to make a comeback as an all-electric vehicle. The Tata Sierra prototype was exhibited with a stated driving range of 400 km on a single charge, based on the latest generation Ziptron EV powertrain.

Tata Sierra&nbsp;Launch

The Tata Sierra is still in the works, and it&#39;s unlikely to hit the market before the end of the year. Tata is expected to release the Sierra SUV in the fourth quarter of 2022 or the first quarter of 2023.

<h2>Tesla Model 3 Overview</h2>

Tesla Model 3 is the company&#39;s most affordable vehicle on the international market. The Model 3 has the appearance of a sports car but the dimensions of a sedan. The EV has a large battery, a good range of about 500 kilometres, and a slew of amenities. It will most likely arrive in India as a CBU, but Tesla is in talks with the Indian government to obtain tax benefits similar to those offered to other EVs in the country.

 
Tesla Model 3: Battery Specifications 
The Model 3 is expected to come with two battery packs: 50 kWh and 75 kWh. On a full charge, the smaller battery can give a range of 350 kilometres and can accelerate from a standstill to 100 kilometres per hour in 5.6 seconds. The top speed is 210 kilometres per hour. The battery can be charged to 210km range in around 30 minutes with a supercharger added. The larger 75kWh battery pack can travel 500 kilometres on a single charge, accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour in 5.1 seconds, and reach a top speed of 225 kilometres per hour. In terms of charging time, Tesla Superchargers can charge the Model 3&#39;s battery to the point where it can travel 281 kilometres in 15 minutes. A regular charging point, on the other hand, will take roughly 20 hours to fully charge the battery, whereas a 7 kW charger will take around 8.5 hours.

 
Tesla Model 3: Design and Features 
The Model 3&#39;s exterior features sweptback LED headlamps and tail lights. The international model has an all-glass top and a comparable rear design to its siblings. The car will have the same 18-inch alloy wheels as the global spec variant, as well as an A-pillar mounted ORVM, rear-reflectors, and an optional body kit. 
At the interior, the Tesla Model 3 features a big 15.4-inch touchscreen panel&nbsp; in the dashboard that serves as an entertainment system, doubles as an instrument console, as an nav-sat control, air-con control and provides access to all car-related functions; all-black leather seating, a panoramic sunroof, and wooden dashboard accents.

 
Tesla Model 3: Price and Launch 
The launch of Tesla Model 3 is expected to be around end of 2022. Tesla will launch the first set of automobiles as CBUs, and the brand is pushing the Indian government for tax breaks on completely imported electric vehicles. The company is unlikely to bring the vehicles in until the issue is resolved. The price of Tesla Model 3 will be higher due to the CBU route. The Tesla Model 3 starts around $38,000 in the United States, which is similar to Rs. 27.88 lakh in India. The Model 3 is expected to cost round Rs 60 lakh to Rs 75 lakh in India.

Bugatti Chiron Overview

It has a unique appearance, costs more than everything else, and moves quicker than everything else.&nbsp;The 2022 Bugatti Chiron isn&#39;t just the ultimate Bugatti; it&#39;s also the ultimate automobile. Thanks to a 16-cylinder engine with four turbochargers and at least 1500 PS of power,&nbsp;the more expensive Super Sport edition is even more powerful.

Bugatti Chiron Engine

The Chiron is powered by an 8.0-liter quad-turbocharged W16 engine that produces 1500PS and 1600Nm of torque, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in under 2.4&nbsp;seconds. A Haldex All-Wheel-Drive system sends power to all four wheels, with a top speed of 420kmph.

Bugatti Chiron Exterior and Interior

The exterior is designed in the classic Bugatti style, with the signature form and sharp lines. The rounded shape and bullet-like silhouette of the hypercar express speed and ease. The vehicle&#39;s interior combines a modern stylistic approach with an homage to historical architecture. The interior colours blend well together and draw attention to significant aspects such as the centre console, which is designed like the flying buttresses that influenced Gothic architecture. With two high-resolution screens balanced against an analogue speedometer, the Chiron reflects a minimalist design when it comes to electronics.

Bugatti Chiron Features

The Chiron&#39;s single-minded focus on performance necessitates concessions in terms of infotainment. This Bugatti is built to perform like a race car, with stripped-down technology to match. There isn&#39;t an infotainment screen, and technologies like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren&#39;t available. The car&#39;s entertainment system consists mostly of a sound system and a trip computer.

Bugatti Chiron Price

The Bugatti Chiron&#39;s launch date in India has not been announced, but it is estimated to cost between Rs 19.21 Cr and Rs 21.22 Cr.

The Hyundai Palisade is a humongous SUV from the Korean manufacturer and is a close cousin to the Kia Telluride. Being positioned as a full size luxury SUV, it would be pitched against the SUVs in the price bracket of 40-50 lakhs like the entry level Germans, the BMW X1, Audi Q2 and some other SUVs like the Toyota Fortuner and the MG Gloster.

What do we expect? 
We expect Hyundai Motors India to introduce the Palisade as a premium SUV which fulfils the purpose of not being just an SUV, but also a family SUV. As the Hyundai Palisade is already being offered in the international markets, Hyundai is evaluating the decision of following a CBU or CKD route as per the volumes before heading towards localisation. The Indian version of the Palisade is likely to remain unchanged with the same platform, chassis, design language and minimum alterations in the equipment list as well!

Hyundai Palisade Expected Powertrain 
The Hyundai Palisade is expected to be powered by a gas-guzzler 3.8L V6 engine, coupled with an 8 speed automatic transmission and an optional AWD powertrain, putting out 295 hp of power and 355 N-m of torque. It is suspected that even a petrol engine can be offered with the Palisade which is currently on offer in the South Korean markets.

Hyundai Palisade Safety Features 
This Mammoth boasts a 5 star crash test rating with a long list of safety equipment on offer. Some of the safety features include airbags, ABS, EBD, Hill descend control, parking sensors with surround view camera, heads up display, forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, Automatic Emergency braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, Rear cross traffic alert, driver drowsiness monitoring and the list goes on and on!

Hyundai Palisade Launch Time 
The launch of this enormous vehicle from the Korean Manufacturer was being planned in the bygone days before the COVID era. The Palisade is now expected to be introduced in the Indian markets anytime in the second half of 2022.

The Hyundai i40 is a big family car produced by Hyundai in South Korea, particularly for the European market. The i40 sedan debuted at the Barcelona Motor Show, sharing its underpinnings with the Hyundai Sonata sold in the United States. Now, the South Korean brand may introduce the i40 sedan, which would be its first foray into the Indian market.

What do we know so far?

The Hyundai i40 will be a feature-rich vehicle that offers excellent fuel economy, comfort, and value for money. The i40 will be available in two versions: a diesel-powered by the U II 1.7 diesel engine and petrol-powered by the Gamma 1.6 GDI or Nu 2.0 GDI petrol engines. The automobile will be available in India in two models: the i40 Tourer and the i40 Sedan.

Design

Hyundai is expected to integrate its new &#39;Sensuous Sportiness&#39; design language, which has previously been seen on cars such as the other Hyundai sedans sold internationally. The new i40 will have a broad grille that blends in with the headlights, and it may possibly have split headlamps.&nbsp;

Summary

The Hyundai i40&#39;s arrival in India is still a mystery, but if the company does, it will be one of the most feature-packed mass-market sedans available. Hyundai&#39;s automobiles are known for being packed with goodies, and the i40 is no exception. The Hyundai i40 will be a high-end D-segment sedan with excellent features.

Pricing

The Hyundai i40 is likely to cost around Rs 15-16 lakhs in India. The Hyundai i40 diesel variant could cost well over 17 lakhs.

Mahindra XUV 300 Electric Launch:&nbsp;Mahindra has now confirmed that <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/mahindra-xuv-300-electric-to-make-debut-in-early-2023-details/">the XUV300 EV wil be launched by early 2023</a>, most probably at the 2023 Auto Expo. The car was showcased first at the 2020 Auto Expo and will rival the Tata Nexon EV.

Mahindra XUV 300 Electric Overview 
 
The eXUV 300 was showcased at the 2020 India Auto Expo as a concept vehicle. However, a heavily camouflaged model of the same was spotted being tested in Chennai, which is indicative of one thing its launch is nearing. The five-seater EV will compete in a segment that includes rivals like Tata Nexon EV, and the MG ZS EV. Below we have discussed some of the details of the upcoming eXUV 300 that we have observed, in both the concept vehicle and the camouflaged test module.&nbsp;

Exterior

The overall exterior silhouette design of the eXUV 300 is not a huge leap from its petrol counterpart, the XUV 300. There can be no doubt, whatsoever, that the EV is based on the same platform as the XUV 300. The redesigned front fascia of the concept vehicle showcased a unique closed grille, flanked by futuristic-looking headlights at both ends. But the side profile of eXUV 300 looks unmistakeably its petrol counterpart, same for its rear profile as well. Mahindra might also offer the EV with blue accents, as was visible in the concept version.

Interior

Just like the exterior, the interior of the eXUV 300 is also expected to retain the same appeal found in the XUV 300. However, the EV could equip an infotainment screen larger than the 7-inch unit present in the regular model. Minor changes on the floor panel are expected to accommodate the battery pack. This means that the vehicle&#39;s weight will increase; however, ground clearance didn&rsquo;t seem to be that compromised in the concept vehicle. Aside from that, the overall cabin of the eXUV 300 will not be an evolutionary leap over its petrol counterpart.&nbsp;

Features

The official feature list of the eXUV 300 is yet to be finalized. However, some of the possible features might include, connected car tech, sunroof, rain-sensing wiper, dual-zone auto climate control, etc. Just like its petrol counterpart, the eXUV 300 will also be high on safety, with features like multiple airbags, cornering brake control, Anti-Brake System with Electronic Brake Distribution.&nbsp;

Engine

Being an EV, the Mahindra eXUV 300 will be powered by an almost 130 bhp electric motor that will power the front wheels. The motor is expected to draw its power from a 40 kWh battery pack, which is capable of delivering a range of 300 km on a single charge. The exact technical specifications are yet to be confirmed. But Mahindra has confirmed the electric SUV will be the first of its kind to feature battery cells developed exclusively for Indian applications by LG Chem, a Korean battery manufacturer. Mahindra has collaborated with the company to develop advanced lithium-ion battery technology.&nbsp;

Launch and Price

Mahindra and Mahindra recently announced that they are looking to launch the eXUV 300 in quarter-3 or quarter-4 of FY-23. Expect the electric SUV to be priced from Rs. 15 lakh (ex-showroom) onwards.&nbsp;

Volkswagen ID 3 Battery Capacity:&nbsp;The ID.3 is available in three battery capacities &ndash; 45kWh, 58 kWh and 77kWh. The range for all three are 330 km, 420 km and 550 km respectively. We believe that to keep the costs low, VW will bring in the lower-spec model but if they were to ring in the ID.3 via the CBU route then they can launch the EV with the 77kWh battery pack. The costs will significantly rise then and it&rsquo;ll rival with <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/cars/hyundai/ioniq">Hyundai Ioniq 5</a> and <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/cars/kia/ev6">Kia EV6</a>.

As of now, nothing is known about the scooter but we do expect a healthy 90km daily run from the battery. Furthermore, we can expect quick charging time with the Burgman Electric.&nbsp;
