Fast forward to today, and Ola has revealed its Roadster series&nbsp;at&nbsp;its flagship event, Sankalp 2024. With this, Ola Electric&nbsp;–&nbsp;which is India's first listed EV company and&nbsp;the world's largest two-wheeler EV company&nbsp;–&nbsp;has officially announced its entry into the mass-market and premium segments.

Ola Electric Motorcycles Launched in India, Roadster Series Debuts Major New Tech Starting from Rs 75,000

Ola has revealed its Roadster series at its flagship event, Sankalp 2024. The pricing of the Ola Roadster series starts at Rs 75,000 for the 2.5kWh Roadster X model and goes up to Rs 2.50 lakh for the range-topping 16kWh Roadster Pro.

<p>Ola Electric is all set to host its&nbsp;"Sankalp 2024" event tomorrow on India's 78th Independence Day. The electric two-wheeler manufacturer will debut its first e-motorcycle at this&nbsp;annual event.&nbsp;The bike will be the production version of the previously revealed Roadster. For those unaware, the company showcased four electric motorcycles, each from a different segment,&nbsp;in last year's event.&nbsp;The CEO of Ola Electric, Bhavish Aggarwal, previously shared a picture of himself taking a test ride on the upcoming electric motorcycle. The photograph was deliberately blurred to keep the motorcycle's version and production-ready appearance a secret until its formal launch.&nbsp;Nonetheless, the&nbsp;company&nbsp;shared four teaser images&nbsp;highlighting the motorcycle's various design elements. These images&nbsp;show the front part, which will house the headlights, the seat,&nbsp;and the taillight.</p>

<h2>Ola Electric Motorcycle: Key Details</h2>

<p>Ola recently offered a sneak peek at the headlight of the new&nbsp;electric motorcycle, showcasing the model's unique rearview mirrors and twin-pod LED lighting. Other styling components visible on the teaser included a sizable headlamp cowl,&nbsp;angular tank shrouds, and a single-piece handlebar.&nbsp;Looking at the design components revealed by the&nbsp;company so far, it seems like Ola intends to launch the street naked version of the motorcycle first.&nbsp;There isn't much information on the upcoming model's specifications yet.&nbsp;However, the manufacturer&nbsp;confirmed&nbsp;that this model would come with batteries created by Ola at its recently opened plant that specialises in making battery cells for electric motorcycles. When Aggarwal first said these electric bikes would have the biggest battery in their class, it was implied&nbsp;they would have a longer range than their rivals.&nbsp;According to recent development images, the bike will&nbsp;likely have a standard right-side-up telescopic fork suspension and a chain final drive system.</p>

<p>This launch, which will be Ola's first entry into the electric bike market, represents a significant milestone.&nbsp;The company's current range of electric two-wheelers, which includes the S1 X, S1 Air, and S1 Pro, which have already garnered popularity in the Indian market, will be joined by the new motorcycle.</p>

<p>The new electric bike is anticipated to compete with several existing electric motorcycles in India upon its release. Depending on how much it costs, it might take on entry-level players like the Revolt RV400 and Tork Kratos R, or it might go after high-performance bikes&nbsp;like the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 and Matter Aera.</p>


Ola Electric Motorcycle India Launch Tomorrow: Here's What to Expect

Ola Electric shared four teaser images highlighting the upcoming motorcycle's design elements. These images show the front part, which will house the headlights, the seat, and the taillight.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ola/">Ola Electric</a> is gearing up&nbsp;to mark&nbsp;its debut in the electric motorcycle industry. The brand&nbsp;has confirmed that&nbsp;on August 15,&nbsp;several&nbsp;new products, including its much-awaited&nbsp;electric motorcycle, will arrive on the Indian market.&nbsp;The CEO Bhavish Aggarwal shared the first teaser of the model, offering&nbsp;a sneak&nbsp;peek at the bike's&nbsp;design language, which comprises&nbsp;a twin-pod LED headlight and distinctive rearview mirrors. He&nbsp;took to his 'X' social media handle saying, 'Future of motorcycling is here. Join us on August 15th!' Here's all that we can decipher from the teaser.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>The Teaser</h2>

<p>The type of motorcycle shown in the teaser is not evident.&nbsp;The&nbsp;bike's front design, however, is unlike any of the four electric concept motorcycles the company unveiled&nbsp;last August. Two LED lights and an LED strip positioned horizontally above the LEDs are visible on the teased bike. It also appears to have a sizable headlamp cowl, though it might be a windscreen. The model can also be seen in the official teaser with its angular tank shrouds, lending&nbsp;it&nbsp;a street bike look.&nbsp;Furthermore, the handlebar appears to be&nbsp;a single piece,&nbsp;positioned rather upright.</p>

<h2>Ola Electric Motorcycle: What We Know So Far?</h2>

<p>Ola Electric previously stated that it would launch its first electric&nbsp;bike&nbsp;in India next year. The statement came&nbsp;during the Board of Directors' most recent press conference, which included an announcement about Ola's IPO listing.&nbsp;Although limited specifics are available at the moment, we anticipate the upcoming Ola model&nbsp;will&nbsp;be a&nbsp;high-end product. Therefore, the two-wheeler producer&nbsp;will likely&nbsp;introduce a fully loaded variant&nbsp;before releasing the more affordable ones.&nbsp;This will allow the company to launch&nbsp;a new electric bike range&nbsp;and increase the number of Indian consumers&nbsp;purchasing&nbsp;it when the price drops due to changes&nbsp;in&nbsp;amenities&nbsp;and battery capacity.</p>

<p>Aggarwal claims that internally designed EV batteries will power Ola Electric's forthcoming electric motorcycles.&nbsp;According to the&nbsp;manufacturer, these&nbsp;would be the biggest batteries&nbsp;in an electric motorcycle in India.&nbsp;'From 2025, Ola Electric will start using EV batteries developed in-house. Besides, we will commence the sale of our electric motorcycles.'&nbsp;Upon launch in India, the&nbsp;Ola electric motorcycle is expected to compete directly with the Ultraviolette F77 Mach 2 and the Matter Aera.</p>

<p>Bhavish Aggarwal and Ola Electric intend&nbsp;to expand the&nbsp;company's lineup&nbsp;beyond electric scooters to include electric motorcycles and cars. The homegrown EV maker, which has made a name for itself as a leading producer of electric scooters with models like the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ola/s1-pro/">S1 Pro</a>, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ola/s1-air/">S1 Air</a>, and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ola/s1-x/">S1X</a>, has started to venture into the comparatively uncrowded field of electric bikes.</p>


Ola Electric Motorcycle Officially Teased for the First Time Ahead of India Launch on August 15

Bhavish Aggarwal shared the first official teaser of the upcoming Ola Electric motorcycle. The teaser shows a twin-pod LED headlight along with an integrated horizontal DRL.

<p>Bhavish Aggarwal, the CEO of Ola Electric, recently posted a teaser on social media hinting at an exciting new development.&nbsp;The most recent&nbsp;and short 3-second video shows him riding an electric motorcycle with a raised riding position and a sleek profile, similar to an entry-level commuter bike.&nbsp;Although no official announcement has been made, it is speculated that <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ola/">Ola Electric</a> may be gearing up to launch an entry-level e-bike to compete with the 100–125cc class of models.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There isn't much information currently available about Ola's upcoming entry-level <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/">motorcycle</a>. Market rumours, however, suggest that&nbsp;more information and teasers may surface as time passes before the potential unveiling on August 15, as the&nbsp;company is famous for making major announcements on Independence Day.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Ola Electric Motorcycle Design Patented in India</h2>

<p><img alt="Ola Electric New Motorcycle Design " src="/uploads/2024/05/Ola-Bike-1.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>Last year, on August 15, the EV company unveiled prototypes of four electric bikes: Adventure, Roadster, Cruiser, and Diamondhead.&nbsp;Except for Diamondhead, the designs for the remaining bikes have previously been patented in India.&nbsp;The patented design of the first bike appears to be influenced by Ola's muscular roadster concept, with practical styling.&nbsp;It has strong creases and an angular silhouette, two shock absorbers in the rear, a box-section swingarm, and a hub-mounted engine.&nbsp;Its alloy wheel design is similar to most 100cc to 110cc entry-level commuter bikes.&nbsp;The bike has a single-piece handlebar, which is easy to reach.&nbsp;It also includes slender tyres, all-LED lighting, and a front disc and rear drum braking setup.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Ola Electric New Motorcycle Design " src="/uploads/2024/05/Ola-Bike-2.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The Roadster concept's aesthetic appears to be shared by the second and third bikes as well.&nbsp;The design patents for the remaining two motorcycles, in contrast to the first bike, have a more sporty appearance.&nbsp;</p>

Ola Electric Motorcycle Teased Ahead of Expected August 15 Debut in India

An upcoming Ola Electric motorcycle has been teased recently by Bhavish Aggarwal, the CEO of Ola Electric,  on social media. This is Ola's second thrilling teaser in a week.

<p>Ola Electric is a dominant player in India's electric scooter market. It&nbsp;plans to join the lucrative motorcycle industry with four new models, which made their debut as concepts in 2023. Although there is no confirmation, the production versions of these concepts, named the Ola Diamondhead, Adventure, Cruiser, and Roadster, are expected to hit Indian roads by the end of 2024. However, before that, the design patents for the three bikes have recently appeared online. It's important to keep in mind that it's currently unknown if these patent images are based on the&nbsp;above-mentioned concepts or something entirely different.</p>

<h2>Design Patents: Key Highlights&nbsp;</h2>

<p>The first bike's styling is practical and seems to be inspired by Ola's muscular roadster concept that debuted last year. It boasts sharp creases and an angular form.&nbsp;The bike is equipped with two shock absorbers at the back, a box-section swingarm, and a hub-mounted engine.&nbsp;Its alloy wheel design is in line with the majority of entry-level commuter bikes (100cc to 110cc).&nbsp;Another interesting element of the practical bike is its single-piece handlebar, which is easy to reach.&nbsp;The motorcycle also includes slender tyres, all-LED lighting, and a front disc and rear drum braking setup.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Ola Electric New Motorcycle Design Patent Leaked " src="/uploads/2024/05/Ola-Bike-2.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The second and third bikes also seem to share aesthetics with the Roadster concept. Unlike the first bike, the design patents for the other two motorcycles exude a sportier appeal. Both <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/">bikes</a> have the same design and equipment, including the powertrain, suspension, wheels, and seats. However, the difference can be seen in ergonomics such as handlebars, seat design, and headlights.</p>

Therefore,&nbsp;the base S1 X variant—the Ola series's entry-level model—now starts at&nbsp;Rs 69,999 (ex-showroom).&nbsp;This translates to a Rs 10,000 price reduction.

Ola&nbsp;has officially announced that starting next week, the S1 X deliveries will begin&nbsp;across&nbsp;India. In addition, an eight-year/80,000-kilometre complimentary warranty will now be included with all Ola S1 scooters at no additional cost. It is important to note that the prices of other S1 X range models have been reduced as well. For the uninitiated, the S1 X comes in three variants with different battery capacities:&nbsp;2kWh, 3kWh, and 4kWh. As for the price,&nbsp;these models are currently available for Rs&nbsp;69,999, Rs&nbsp;84,999, and Rs&nbsp;99,999, respectively.&nbsp;Please keep in mind that the most affordable&nbsp;trim's price is introductory for an extended period.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X: New Prices</h2>

<p>Ola says&nbsp;that by lowering the price, customers will find the electric scooter more affordable, which will ultimately hasten the adoption of electric mobility throughout the country. Depending on the battery pack opted for, <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/2024-ola-s1-x-prices-and-variants-explained-116131/">there are three different Ola S1 X electric scooter variants.</a> The price of the 3kWh battery pack variant&nbsp;has been reduced from Rs 89,999&nbsp;to Rs 84,999.

All mentioned prices are ex-showroom figures.</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X: Range Details</h2>

<p>According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), the Ola S1 X has a remarkable range of 190 kilometres, 143 kilometres, and 95 kilometres for the 4kWh, 3kWh, and 2kWh variants, respectively. It exhibits efficiency and performance with a top speed of 90km/h in the variants&nbsp;with larger battery capacities and 85km/h in the 2kWh variant.</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X: Features and Hardware</h2>

<p>With a modified headlight, handlebar, circular rear-view mirrors, and a flat floorboard, the S1 X series is essentially a more basic version of the S1 Air. The S1 X variants lack the 7.0-inch TFT touchscreen found on the S1 Air and S1 Pro, instead sporting a 4.3-inch segmented LCD. In addition, the S1 X variants feature smartphone connectivity, cruise control, and a physical key. The scooter is available in seven colour options<span style="font-size: 13px;">.</span></p>

<p>The S1 X features a double-sided swingarm with a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers. The scooter includes drum brakes on both ends and wheels made of pressed steel. For the 2kWh model, the kerb weight is 101 kg; for the 3kWh version, it is 108 kg; and for the 4 kWh variant, it is 112 kg.</p>

Ola S1 X Electric Scooter Prices Slashed in India; Check New Variant-wise Prices Here

According to the International Data Corporation (IDC), the Ola S1 X has a remarkable range of 190 kilometres, 143 kilometres, and 95 kilometres for the 4kWh, 3kWh, and 2kWh variants, respectively.

<p>Ola Electric has expanded its array of electric scooters with a new model, a variant for the S1 X series. For the uninitiated, the new S1 X offering, which is priced higher than all of the other models, was just released by the brand and comes with a 4kWh battery pack. With this new addition, there are currently four distinct variants&nbsp;of the scooter available for purchase on the market, based on features, battery pack, as well as other factors.&nbsp;Every S1 variant comes with a complimentary 8-year warranty, or up to 80,000-kilometre, with full coverage against defects. Buyers can also extend the battery warranty for up to 1.25 lakh-kilometre for Rs 12,999. Ola's S1 X series batteries have higher thermal efficiency, an IP67 rating for water and dust protection, and an option to transfer battery ownership if the scooter is sold. Nonetheless, the 8-year battery warranty does not cover the Ola S1 X base model with a 2kWh battery. Here's a closer look at each of the Ola S1X variants.</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X with 2kWh Battery Pack</h2>

<p>Ola Electric's entry-level model, the S1X with the 2kWh battery pack, retails for an ex-showroom price of&nbsp;Rs 79,999. The scooter is capable of going from 0 to 40km/h in 4.1 seconds, and it has an IDC range of 95-kilometre. Its maximum speed is 85km/h. Using a home charger, the battery pack can be completely charged in five hours. When it comes to the feature set,&nbsp;Ola's base model comes with a 4.3-inch LCD instrument cluster, a physical key to unlock and start the EV, dual rear shocks, telescopic front suspension, drum brakes on both ends, and three riding modes: Normal, Sports, and Eco.</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X with 3kWh Battery Pack</h2>

<p><img alt="Ola S1 X 1 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/12/Ola-S1-X-1-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>Priced at Rs 89,999 (ex-showroom), the 3kWh battery pack option is an upgrade from the 2kWh battery pack option. The Ola S1 X equipped with a 3kWh battery pack has a stated IDC rage of 143-kilometre, and it can sprint from 0 to 40km/h in 3.3 seconds, with a top speed of 90 km/h. According to the EV manufacturer, the scooter takes 7.4 hours to fully charge.&nbsp;The S1 X that includes the 3kWh battery pack has features that are comparable to those of the 2kWh battery pack model. These amenities comprise an LCD console, front and rear 12-inch wheels, drum brakes on both ends, and a physical key.</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X+ with 3kWh Battery Pack</h2>

<p>Next on the list is the S1 X+ variant, which costs Rs 99,999 (ex-showroom) and is propelled by a 3kWh battery pack. With a top speed of 90km/h, the S1 X+ can accelerate from 0 to 40km/h in 3.3 seconds, and the advertised range stands at&nbsp;151-kilometre. Furthermore, the model&nbsp;requires 7.4 hours to fully charge, just like the S1 X with the 3kWh battery pack.&nbsp;While some features, like the 12-inch wheels, drum brakes on both ends, and the three ride modes, are similar to the S1 X models as mentioned above, there are a few notable variations with regard to features. The S1 X+ gets a larger 5-inch LCD instrument console, digital key, phone connectivity, navigation, and cruise control, among others.</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X with 4kWh Battery Pack</h2>

<p>Available at&nbsp;an asking price of Rs 1.09 lakh (ex-showroom), <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ola-s1-x-with-4kwh-battery-pack-launched-in-india-at-rs-110-lakh-claims-190km-range-116041/">the S1 X fitted with a 4kWh battery pack</a> is the most expensive variant of the range, currently on offer. With a top speed of 90km/h and an IDC range of 190-kilometre, the scooter can accelerate from 0 to 40km/h in 3.3 seconds. Besides this, a&nbsp;complete charge of the battery pack requires 6.5 hours.&nbsp;The electric motor has three riding modes: Eco, Normal, and Sports and&nbsp;it still churns out&nbsp;8bhp of maximum power.&nbsp;Feature-wise, the S1 X (4kWh)&nbsp;has 12-inch tyres, drum brakes on both ends, a 4.3-inch LCD panel, a physical key, and weighs 112kg.</p>

<p><img alt="Ola S1 X Plus" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/12/Ola-S1-X-Plus.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

Meanwhile, bookings for the new, higher-priced 4kWh variant are now being accepted and&nbsp;deliveries for the same&nbsp;are&nbsp;scheduled to begin in April. The company also revealed that it will deploy 10,000 fast chargers by April in addition to expanding from 400 to 600 service outlets.</p>


2024 Ola S1 X: Prices and Variants Explained

The bookings for the new, top-spec Ola S1 X 4kWh variant are now being accepted and deliveries for the same are scheduled to begin in April. Feature-wise, it has 12-inch tyres, drum brakes on both ends, a 4.3-inch LCD panel, a physical key, and weighs 112kg.

<p>When purchasing an electric vehicle, range anxiety and battery lifespan are the two main factors that most people look at. The recently released Ola S1 X promises to address these problems by providing an eight-year battery pack warranty and an extended range.&nbsp;The new S1 X 4kWh electric scooter model from Ola Electric has been launched, and it boasts a longer range at a more affordable price. A single charge is expected to provide 190-kilometre range for the new S1 X 4kWh. The largest battery pack in the S1 X family of e-scooters, this newly introduced&nbsp;version&nbsp;costs Rs 1.10 lakh, approximately Rs 20,000 more than the 3kWh variant. Notably,&nbsp;the starting price for the Ola S1 X 2kWh trim still stands at Rs 79,999. All mentioned prices are ex-showroom figures.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X: Variants and Colour Options</h2>

<p>A total of three versions of <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ola-s1-x-prices-and-variants-explained-114317/">the Ola S1 X</a> are available on the market: the Ola S1 X, which is the base model with a 2kWh or 3kWh battery pack; the Ola S1 X with a 4kWh battery; and the Ola S1 X+, which has a 3kWh battery with smart connectivity. Now, coming to the paint jobs on offer, buyers can choose from a pool of appealing colours&nbsp;including four dual-tone options -&nbsp;Stellar,&nbsp;Red Velocity,&nbsp;Liquid Silver,&nbsp;Midnight,&nbsp;Porcelain White, Funk, and&nbsp;Vogue.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X (4kWh): Power and Performance Figures</h2>

<p>The Ola S1 X 4kWh keeps the same internal components as the&nbsp;3kWh model. The acceleration from 0 to 40km/h takes 3.3 seconds, and the top speed is 90km/h. The electric motor has three riding modes: Eco, Normal, and Sports. Furthermore, it still belts out&nbsp;8bhp of maximum power.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X: Pricing</h2>

<p>At Rs 79,999, the Ola S1 X&nbsp;with a 2kWh battery is currently the Indian EV brand's most reasonably priced electric scooter; the 3kWh variant, with a range of up to 143-kilometre, is priced at Rs 89,999. In a similar vein, the Ola S1 X+, which has a 3kWh battery pack and smart connectivity&nbsp;capabilities, costs Rs 99,999 and has a range of up to 153-kilometre. Finally, the Ola S1 X, featuring a 4kWh battery&nbsp;is&nbsp;the most premium model in the portfolio&nbsp;with a maximum range of 190-kilometre&nbsp;(IDC) and costs Rs 1.10 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom. Note that&nbsp;the FAME-II Subsidy is included in the above-mentioned&nbsp;costs.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X:&nbsp;Warranty and Delivery Details</h2>

<p>With every S1 variant, the firm is providing a complimentary 8-year warranty, or up to 80,000 kilometres, with 100 per cent coverage against malfunctions. Buyers can additionally top up the battery warranty for up to&nbsp;1.25 lakh&nbsp;kilometres&nbsp;for Rs 12,999.&nbsp;The S1 X series batteries from Ola come with features including increased thermal efficiency, an IP 67 grade for water and dust protection, and the ability to transfer ownership of the battery if one sells their scooter. Nevertheless, the Ola S1 X base model with a 2kWh battery is not covered by the 8-year battery warranty.</p>

<p>For the uninitiated, Ola Electric&nbsp;commenced&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/ola-s1-x-electric-scooter-deliveries-commence-in-india-available-for-rs-90000-for-a-limited-period-115498/">the deliveries&nbsp;for the S1 X+ electric scooter</a> across India in December last year. Meanwhile, the&nbsp;reservations for the new higher-end 4kWh model are currently being accepted, and deliveries for the same&nbsp;will start in April. The firm further&nbsp;announced that&nbsp;it will increase the number of its service outlets from 400 to 600 and intends to&nbsp;install 10,000 fast chargers by April as well.</p>


Ola S1 X with 4kWh Battery Pack Launched in India at Rs 1.10 Lakh, Claims 190Km Range

A total of three variants of the Ola S1 X are available on the market: the Ola S1 X, which is the base model with a 2kWh or 3kWh battery pack; the Ola S1 X with a 4kWh battery; and the Ola S1 X+, which has a 3kWh battery with smart connectivity.

<p>Ola Electric, a Bengaluru-based start-up, has started the delivery process for the S1 X+ electric scooter across India. At the launch of the S1 X range in August 2023, Ola claimed that deliveries for the range-topping scooter would begin by the end of September but could not deliver on the promise. Now, however, the promised deliveries are reaching customers, coinciding with the introduction of a limited-period pricing strategy by the electric vehicle manufacturer. In a move aimed at making the S1 X+ more accessible, Ola Electric has reduced its ex-showroom price from Rs 1.10 lakh to Rs 90,000. This pricing adjustment is in effect until December 31, 2023, making the top-spec Ola S1 X+ more economically viable for potential buyers.</p>

<p>In addition, Ola is also running the 'December to Remember' campaign at the moment, which allows community members to capitalise on the ongoing offers and benefits. These include a 50 per cent off on extended warranty for second-generation electric vehicles plus a cashback of up to Rs 2,000 for successful referrals. Similarly, referees also stand a chance to earn a cashback of Rs 3,000 upon the purchase of either the S1 Air or S1 Pro scooters.</p>

<p>Ola launched the S1 X, its new entry-level product, in three variants, with introductory prices now ranging from Rs 90,000 to Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom). The S1 X range comprises the base-spec S1 X (2kWh), mid-spec S1 X (3kWh), and top-spec S1 X+.</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X+: Battery, Range</h2>

<p>All three variants of the S1 X lineup are based on the brand’s cutting-edge Gen 2 EV platform, which is likely to spawn other Ola electric vehicles. Having said that, the S1 X+ is powered by a 3kWh lithium-ion battery pack with an IDC-claimed range of 151 kilometres on a single charge. In Eco mode, the range is rated at 125 kilometres.</p>

<p>This 3kWh lithium-ion battery is mated to a 6kW electric motor, resulting in a claimed top speed of 90km/h and a 0 – 40km/h sprint in 3.3 seconds. Ola claims that the charging time for the electric scooter is 7.4 hours using a 500W portable charger.</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X+: Features</h2>

<p>In comparison to the other two versions in the S1 X lineup, the S1 X+ gets OTA updates, Bluetooth/GPS connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, music control, remote boot lock/unlock, cruise control, predictive maintenance, and Ola app management. Other bits include three riding modes (Eco, Normal, and Sport), reverse mode, a boot space of 34 litres, circular mirrors, a digital key, a unique headlamp cowl, a flat seat, and two cubbyholes in the front apron.</p>

<h2>Ola S1 X+: Hardware</h2>

<p>The Ola S1 X range gets the same hardware as the S1 Air, which includes 12-inch steel rims, combi brake systems, conventional drum brakes at both ends, telescopic front forks, and dual shock absorbers attached to a double-sided swingarm at the rear. Given the fact that it is based on Ola's new Gen2 platform, the S1 X+ comes with a flat floorboard for added convenience.</p>

The mid-spec Ola S1 X variant is priced between these two, which comes with a larger 3kWh battery and costs Rs 1 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

TVS Ronin Agonda Edition Launched in India at Rs 1.31 Lakh

TVS Apache RTX 300 Debuts 20th Anniversary Edition in Bold Black-Gold Livery

<p>
We’ve waited long enough for the new-generation Skoda Kodiaq to finally make its way to India. The Kodiaq has always been the thinking person’s luxury SUV, offering a European luxury car feel at a more accessible price point, executed in typical Skoda fashion – balancing practicality with a solid driving experience. But how much of it remains in this new version?</p>

<h2>New Skoda Kodiaq Design &amp; Dimensions</h2>

<p>The latest Skoda Kodiaq definitely takes a more extroverted approach, while still exuding a premium appeal. Though it’s unmistakably a Kodiaq, the wider grille, along with the light bar in this L&amp;K version, gives it a distinctive edge. The tiered lighting is now more prominent, and when driving at night, it’s about as effective as one would like it to be.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Skoda-Kodiaq-Front-Three-Quarter-1747312505417.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq-Front-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>This more aggressive look of the new Kodiaq is enhanced by its sharper design. The bonnet and bumpers are more angular and pronounced, not just for aesthetics but also for practical aspects – the drag coefficient has gone down from 0.33 to 0.28, adding to the efficiency of the SUV.</p>

    
  
    
  
    
  


<p>In terms of size, the only dimensional change is that the Kodiaq is now 59mm longer. The side profile now has a longer silhouette, with a neat kink under the D-pillar. The 18-inch wheels remain unchanged, though they continue to be well-proportioned. However, we do miss a more traditional alloy design; the current aero-style wheels are chosen primarily for efficiency.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/04/1744865773852-1buf-Skoda-Kodiaq-rear.webp" alt="Skoda-Kodiaq-rear.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>At the rear, the Kodiaq’s familiar design continues but with some updates – a sharply angled windscreen and sculpted bodywork make it sportier. The lighting, too, adopts a more prominent version of Skoda’s signature C-motifs, although you won’t find the full-width setup seen in some rivals.</p><p>A benefit of the extended length is an addition to the boot space. With all three rows up, capacity has grown by 11 litres, now offering 281 litres of space.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/Skoda_Kodiaq_Boot_Space_Review_autoX-1764912249231.webp" alt="Skoda_Kodiaq_Boot_Space_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Fold the third row, and this expands to a generous 786 litres – 21 litres more than before. Despite the manual folding mechanisms for the second and third rows, accessing all this space is easy enough, especially with the pull-tabs for the second row in the boot, which allow you to create 1,976 litres of space.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>New Kodiaq Interior Quality &amp; Space</h2>

<p>Inside, the new Kodiaq exhibits a more substantial departure from its predecessor. The dual-cockpit theme stands out, and at first glance, it feels considerably more upmarket than the simpler design of the earlier model.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Skoda-Kodiaq-steering-wheel-1747312436985.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq-steering-wheel.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The tan leather on the dash, is a massive upgrade, and most surfaces have a soft, premium feel to them. The more intricate air vents and the floating effect of the door handles make the interior feel even more premium. What hasn’t been compromised, however, are the thoughtful touches Skoda calls their ‘Simply Clever’ features. One standout feature are the configurable dials. These rotary controls serve multiple functions, managing climate, seat, and drive modes, offering a far more intuitive and easier to use alternative to touch-based interfaces.</p><p>Another practical addition is the new central tunnel. With Skoda shifting to a column-mounted gearshifter, the Kodiaq’s cabin feels more spacious and less cluttered, even though the overall space remains unchanged from the previous model.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Skoda-Kodiaq-instrument-cluster-1747312483089.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq-instrument-cluster.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

    
  
    
  


<p>The switch to the updated MQB platform also brings new electronic architecture – the car now gets a 13-inch touchscreen and a 10.25-inch driver’s display. The touchscreen supports seamless wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with built-in navigation.</p>

<p>In the second row, while the changes aren’t massive, there’s a greater sense of space and comfort. The door protectors remain, as do the three-zone climate control, large panoramic sunroof, and window blinds.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/Skoda_Kodiaq_3rd_Row_Seats_Review_autoX-1764912316469.webp" alt="Skoda_Kodiaq_3rd_Row_Seats_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div><p>
    The third row has also received attention, with 15mm of extra headroom, but the experience remains much the same as in the previous Kodiaq. It’s still best suited for children – most adults will find it tough to sit here for long periods. As a result, the third row should be used only by children or for short journeys. In fact, the massive boot space you get when the third row is folded is much more practical.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>2025 Kodiaq Features &amp; Safety</h2>

<p>Like before, the Kodiaq comes generously equipped. Highlights include matrix LED headlamps, automatic headlights and wipers, powered front seats with heating, ventilation, and massage functions, three-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, and rear window blinds.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

      </div><p>Safety features continue to impress with nine airbags – though now, a centre airbag replaces the driver’s knee airbag. The Kodiaq retains its 5-star Euro NCAP rating, but, ADAS is missing from the India-spec version.</p><h2>New Kodiaq Engine, Power &amp; Driving Experience</h2>

<p>From behind the wheel, the experience doesn’t feel drastically different at first. It’s easy to find a comfortable driving position, the SUV feels smaller than its size when manoeuvring, and the seats are very comfortable. The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, now producing 201bhp, is a significant upgrade.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Skoda-Kodiaq-Motion-1747312428683.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>It continues to make 320Nm of torque and is paired with a seven-speed DCT, but its drivability is remarkably better. This sense of improved response carries through the rev range, where a linear surge of power makes acceleration feel more intuitive. As before, performance ramps up significantly past 4,000rpm, but it’s now accompanied by a more engaging rasp from the engine.</p>

    
  
    
  


<p>The new Kodiaq rides much like its predecessor. On smooth roads, it glides along with a composed presence that delivers a genuine luxury car experience. However, over broken and uneven roads, the suspension becomes quite noisy, and at low speeds, sharp bumps can filter into the cabin. As before, though, the ride improves noticeably as speeds rise. The Kodiaq settles into a confident, comfortable pace that makes rear-seat travel particularly soothing.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/1748777603750-42rg-Skoda-Kodiaq-04.webp" alt="Skoda Kodiaq rear driving.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>Despite the removal of the adaptive damping system in this update, the Kodiaq maintains good ride quality over most surfaces at higher speeds. That said, when pushed hard, its mass does begin to show. In tighter corners, it rolls and runs wide, but keep your speed and inputs measured, and the Kodiaq will flow along a winding road with decent agility and a touch of engagement.</p>

<p>The steering contributes positively to this experience – it’s light enough to make city driving feel easy, yet precise enough at higher speeds to inspire confidence, giving you a sense of control. Also worth noting is the improvement to the braking feel: gone is the abrupt pedal response seen in earlier Skodas. Braking now feels more progressive, allowing you to modulate the brakes better.</p>

<h2>2025 Skoda Kodiaq Price &amp; Verdict: Is It Worth the Premium?</h2>

<p>Priced at ₹48.69 lakh for this L&amp;K version, the new Kodiaq picks up right where the previous model left off. It has gotten significantly more expensive, and while the infotainment screen could be more intuitive and some plastic bits don’t feel as premium as before, the overall cabin feels more special nonetheless. The smoother, more refined engine and well-sorted dynamics continue to make this a genuine luxury experience, without a luxury price tag.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">

With the launch of the second-gen Kodiaq, Skoda brings Indian buyers a fresh contender in the three-row SUV space. But is it worth it?

<p>
The off-road motorcycle scene in India is gaining serious momentum. For KTM enthusiasts, the 390 Adventure has been the default choice. Yet, for those craving serious dirt capabilities, extensive aftermarket modifications became the norm. Was KTM paying attention? It appears so. Enter the 390 Enduro R – a machine that promises better off-road performance while retaining the trusted 390 platform. So, is this the factory-built solution riders have been waiting for? We took it to the trails at Pro Dirt Adventure Park to find out.</p>

<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Design &amp; Styling: Serious Off-Road Intent</h2>

<p>First impressions matter, and the Enduro R certainly makes a strong one. While it shares its underpinnings with the 390 Adventure, its stance is noticeably more aggressive and purpose-built. The vibrant KTM orange colour screams performance, and the bike looks broader and tougher  – visually more rugged than the 390 Adventure.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/04/1744278025044-sv8w-4-(1)-(1).webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The key change here is the sharp, minimalist LED headlight assembly, which is inspired by KTM’s hardcore EXC enduro bikes, quickening the pulse of any enthusiast. The 43mm WP Apex front forks and a matching monoshock at the rear signal serious off-road intent. Smart touches like pigmented body panels (designed to resist scratches), along with standard handguards, crash protection, and an engine bash plate, underscore its ready-for-anything character.</p><p>Beneath the skin, KTM India has made some interesting calls. The Enduro R retains the same suspension components as the 390 Adventure, offering 200mm of travel at the front and 205mm at the rear – shorter than the international model’s 230mm, which significantly lowers the seat height, making it more practical for our market.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Stand-View-1747313164247.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Stand-View.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The most consequential upgrade is the new wheelset – a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked rim combo, replacing the Adventure’s 17-inch rear setup. These are shod with Mitas Enduro Trail E07+ tyres – 90-section front and a fatter 140-section rear. This setup, along with revised suspension tuning, has raised the ground clearance to an impressive 253mm (up from the Adventure’s 237mm). To ensure a slimmer profile, the fuel tank has been downsized to 9 litres from the Adventure’s 14.5 – while it affects the range, it also reduces the kerb weight to 177kg (5kg lighter than the Adventure), enhancing its handling capabilities.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Ergonomics &amp; Features</h2>

<p>The new Enduro R strikes a thoughtful balance between functional tech and minimalist design. It features all the essential off-road hardware, which includes dual-channel ABS with an off-road mode, traction control, and selectable Street and Off-road ride modes – notably, there’s no Rain mode as found on the 390 Adventure.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Speedometer-1747313158262.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Speedometer.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The updated switchgear feels tactile and intuitive, and there is a dedicated button to disable rear ABS on the fly, making transitions to dirt riding quick and seamless. The smaller TFT display is sharp, legible, and easy to navigate, offering smartphone connectivity and clear ride mode indicators. Within Off-road mode, riders can customise their experience by disabling traction control and even the quickshifter.</p><p>Swinging a leg over the Enduro R immediately reveals its intent. At 860mm, the seat height is 30mm taller than the 390 Adventure’s, which may pose a challenge for shorter riders, especially in tricky situations. It’s worth noting that the international version sits even higher at 890mm, adding an even bigger hurdle for less-experienced riders to climb (pun intended).</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Motion1-1747313212204.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Motion1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The pillion grab rails, while practical, extend upward rather prominently and can snag a leg during mounting. That said, once seated, the bike feels purpose-built. The long, firm seat offers excellent support and ample fore-aft movement – crucial for managing traction off-road. The centrally-mounted footpegs and wide handlebars form a confident and comfortable rider triangle, ideal for both seated cruising and aggressive stand-up riding. One minor drawback, inherited from the Adventure, is the tendency of the plastic side panels to get scuffed over time, especially with off-road boots.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Engine Performance &amp; Off-Road Capability</h2>

<p>At its core, the 390 Enduro R retains the familiar 399cc LC4c engine, producing the same 46bhp and 39Nm of torque as the 390 Adventure. However, revised engine mapping and a shorter final drive ratio (14/48 vs 14/46) result in a noticeable difference.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/KTM_Enduro_R_Engine_Review_autoX-1764747862703.webp" alt="KTM_Enduro_R_Engine_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Given its reduced weight, the Enduro R feels livelier and more urgent, delivering an extra dose of punch. It remains a rev-happy motor, offering strong performance through the mid-range and top-end. That said, riders navigating tight, technical terrain may still crave a bit more low-end grunt. This is an engine that demands rider engagement, rewarding active, energetic inputs. The six-speed gearbox is well-spaced and shifts cleanly, with first and second gears proving particularly useful for both city commuting and trail riding. Despite a smaller 285mm front disc (down from 320mm on the Adventure), braking performance is strong.</p><p>Where the 390 Enduro R truly earns its stripes is off the beaten path. The revised suspension tuning makes an immediate impression. It’s far more compliant than that of the 390 Adventure – it soaks up bumps, ruts, and undulations with a newfound composure. That familiar issue of front-end bottoming on sharp hits and heavy landings has been largely resolved.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/KTM_Enduro_R_Suspension_Review_autoX-1764747890741.webp" alt="KTM_Enduro_R_Suspension_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The bike now settles quickly and confidently, encouraging riders to carry more speed through demanding terrain. However, with the 18-inch rear wheel and 205mm of travel, the rear end tends to bottom out with harder hits. Impressively, this newfound off-road capability doesn’t come at the cost of on-road performance. Thanks to its Duke-derived chassis, the Enduro R remains agile and engaging on the tarmac, carving corners with a sharpness few dual-purpose bikes in India can match.</p>

    
  
    
  


    
  
    
  
<h2>KTM 390 Enduro R Verdict: Should You Buy One?</h2>

<p>Overall, the 390 Enduro R stands out as the most capable off-road machine in KTM India’s 390 lineup. With its reduced weight, revised gearing, properly tuned and adjustable suspension, and the all-important 21/18 spoked wheel setup, it’s a machine that truly shines once the road ends. It thoughtfully addresses many of the standard Adventure’s shortcomings for serious off-road use. That said, in its stock trim, it’s neither a hardcore enduro weapon nor a proper tourer. The smaller fuel tank, high-strung engine character (for some), and tall seat height clearly define its niche. This is a bike best suited for enthusiasts who blend spirited road riding with challenging weekend trail adventures, or, perhaps, for dirt riders looking for a versatile road-legal second bike.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/KTM-390-Enduro-R-Motion-1747313152284.webp" alt="KTM 390 Enduro R-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>Against its chief rival, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, the Enduro R offers a sharper, more performance-focused alternative, albeit at a higher price. It’s not just a modified Adventure – it’s a thoughtfully created, factory-built response to what KTM fans have long been asking for. And the best part? KTM India has confirmed that the full-blown international-spec Enduro R will also join the lineup, giving riders the option of a no-compromise package straight from the showroom.

KTM 390 Enduro R First Ride Review - R-eality Check

KTM fans have long desired a more serious off-road machine based on the 390 platform. The Enduro R promises to deliver just that. But does it live up to the hype?

<p>
I have a long history with the Volkswagen Tiguan. It’s a car that I’ve admired over the years and driven extensively. In fact, over the past six years or so, I’ve spent considerable time behind the wheel of at least four variations of the Tiguan. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that I might have driven the Tiguan more extensively than anyone else in India. So, when the brand-new generation of the SUV that I truly love driving arrived, I was quite eager to find out what all had changed. Here’s what I think of the new Tiguan, and whether it’s worth your money or not.</p>

<h2>Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Interior Review – Screens, Tech &amp; Quality</h2>

<p>The interior of the Tiguan is all-new, with a massive infotainment touchscreen in the centre of the dashboard, giving it a far more luxurious feel compared to the previous generation.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1752818840078.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>The display features configurable shortcut buttons along the top and bottom, and the large central home screen displays the sat nav, music, and other important information. It’s fast, responsive and has bright, clear graphics. However, you still get Volkswagen’s unintuitive touch-sensitive sliders for climate control. On the plus side, there is an excellent digital instrument display as standard, now larger than the one in the previous model. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that the new Tiguan has one of the most modern, high-tech cabins in the mid-sized SUV segment.</p><p>While the old Tiguan’s simple Teutonic design had its appeal, it was starting to look dated. The new model addresses that with sleek LED headlights that merge into a full-width black panel, giving the front a fresh new look.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-Rear-view-1747374820060.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-Rear-view.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>At the rear, a similar light panel runs along the boot lid. Overall, especially in the brighter colour options, paired with the 19-inch wheels, the new Tiguan looks refreshing and quite attractive. The prominent headlights and taillights give it an imposing presence on the road.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Driving Experience – Ride, Refinement &amp; Handling</h2>

<p>Behind the wheel, the Tiguan is quiet, comfortable, and refined to drive, both in the city and on the highway. The suspension is well-tuned and soaks up big bumps with ease while keeping the car stable and composed. This makes the Tiguan a great car for daily driving, but the light steering and refined suspension mean that it’s not the most exciting car on twisty roads, even with its sportiest setting.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-side-profile-dynamic-1747374034112.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-side-profile-dynamic.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

    
  
    
  


<p>The Tiguan strikes a sweet spot in terms of dimensions – it’s big enough to offer a spacious interior, yet compact enough to remain easy and unintimidating to drive in urban settings. Visibility is pretty good, and the high seating position gives you a commanding view of the road ahead.</p>

<p>Its light steering makes tight manoeuvres effortless, so much so that it makes you almost forget that you’re driving a practical SUV.</p><p>The suspension is well-tuned too – if you hit a big speed bump, it doesn’t send a harsh jolt through the cabin and settles down quickly. That said, there is a slightly firm edge to it, which means that sharper imperfections, such as potholes, are quite noticeable.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-Rear-Three-Quarter-1747374552787.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

    
  
    
  
  


<p>On the highway, the Tiguan’s comfort and refinement continue to impress. It remains quiet at higher speeds, and the suspension deals with most road irregularities with ease, although a bit of road noise does filter in.</p>

<p>As with most cars that prioritise comfort and refinement, you have to make some sacrifices in terms of having fun on twisty roads. The tyres offer decent grip, but the steering is quite light and lacks feedback, which somewhat knocks your confidence, meaning you have to hold back a bit.</p><p>Switching the Tiguan to Sport mode makes the throttle more responsive, and the gearbox becomes more willing to downshift when you accelerate.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-start-stop-switch-1752818886074.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-start-stop-switch.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Once you get in the groove, it shifts up and down quickly, responding to your inputs far better than in the standard setting. That said, the experience still feels a bit synthetic and lacks the fun of spirited driving.</p>

    
  
    
    


<h2>Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Space, Seating &amp; Boot Capacity Explained</h2>

<p>The Tiguan is a pretty large car, so it’s no surprise that the front seats feel expansive. There are loads of adjustments for both the seats and the steering wheel, making it easy for drivers of all shapes and sizes to find a comfortable driving position.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/Volkswagen_Tugian_R-Line_Front_Seats_Review_autoX-1764747430127.webp" alt="Volkswagen_Tugian_R-Line_Front_Seats_Review_autoX.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Since we get the R-Line version in India, the sports seats are absolutely fantastic, with impressive lumbar and side support – they are really very comfortable. However, they lack electric adjustment, which might be a drawback for some customers. Another notable omission is keyless entry and exit – a feature I personally value and find frustrating to do without.</p><p>In the rear, the Tiguan offers impressive space, befitting a family SUV. Two six-footers can easily sit behind front passengers of similar height, with plenty of knee and headroom for both. The rear bench is quite flat, and the centre seat is relatively wide, so a third passenger can ride in reasonable comfort as well.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-Rear-Space-1747374590229.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-Rear-Space.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

    
  
    
  


<p>With 652 litres of boot space, the new Tiguan offers one of the largest boots in a two-row SUV. It’s not just big but also quite practical. There’s no load lip between the boot opening and the floor, so you don’t have to hoist items into it. The rear seats fold completely flat, allowing you to slide items all the way in without any obstruction.</p>

<h2>Tiguan R-Line Features &amp; Cabin Quality – Touchscreen, Materials &amp; Tech</h2>

<p>The new Tiguan’s interior has undergone a thorough transformation, and the centrepiece is a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display, now standard across the range. It controls all of the car’s major functions and marks a significant upgrade over the previous generation model.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1742897697837-jrt1-Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-Rear-Interior.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Rear Interior.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>The new system software feels much closer to modern smartphones, with features like multiple home screens, configurable shortcuts and widgets, and gestures such as press-and-hold for adjustments. Climate controls have been moved to a slim bar at the bottom of the display, and just below it are touch-sensitive sliders for volume and temperature. While this setup is slightly better executed than in some other VW models, it still takes time to get used to and isn’t the most intuitive.</p>

<p>That said, the interior quality is excellent throughout – it’s certainly a cut above a lot of SUVs in this price range.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-Steering-Controls-1747374119426.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line-Steering-Controls.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    <p>Soft-touch plastics and solid build quality give the cabin a premium feel, and everything feels well put together. But if you start poking around, you’ll find a few hard plastic bits, like on the lower part of the centre console and the rear door cards.</p>

<h2>Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Verdict – Price, Value &amp; Should You Buy It?</h2>

<p>As someone who has been a fan of the Tiguan since it was launched in India back in 2018, I’d say that the latest version is a massive upgrade and a worthy one. Sure, the price has considerably increased – it’s now a CBU import rather than being assembled locally in India  – but the quality, driving appeal, and overall feel of the car have also seen a massive improvement, which easily justifies its increased price. That said, it’s the new interior, in particular, that makes it feel like a true luxury SUV now.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/07/Volkswagen-Tiguan-R-Line-1752818101552.webp" alt="Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>Sure, it isn’t cheap, but at this price point, it is nigh on impossible to find an SUV that drives better. That’s why I’m thinking of requesting VW India for another long-term Tiguan as soon as possible.

Volkswagen Tiguan R-Line Review - Fun in an SUV!

The Tiguan makes a comeback in a brand new avatar. Our in-house Tiguan expert takes it for a spin to find out what it offers.  

<p>The Kia Carens has been selling well in the market, surpassing the sales milestone of 2 lakh units since its launch in 2021. More than three years on, this three-row offering was due for an update. But instead of introducing a direct replacement for the old model, Kia has launched a new, more premium and feature-rich vehicle based on the Carens: the Carens Clavis. While Carens reflects its lineage, Clavis derives from a Latin phrase meaning ‘the Golden Key’. So, what key updates set the Carens Clavis apart from the standard Carens?</p>

<p>Let’s find out.</p>

<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Looks: MPV Turned SUV</h2>

<p>Despite sharing its underpinnings with the Carens, the Clavis sports a distinctly different look. This is largely due to design elements like the new Digital Tiger Nose grille and the striking Star Map LED DRLs paired with a redesigned headlamp cluster. The front fascia is mostly closed off – reminiscent of electric vehicles – and resembles Kia’s newer models like the Syros and EV9. A prominent silver-finished chrome skid plate at both ends adds a rugged, SUV-like character, further enhanced by the raised bonnet, which gives the front-end profile a more commanding presence.</p><p>

      </div>
    </p><p>Contributing to its more premium appearance are the 17-inch alloy wheels, an inch larger than those on the standard Carens. In terms of dimensions, the Clavis is 10mm longer, while the rest of its measurements remain unchanged. As a result, it has the same boot capacity as the Carens – 216 litres.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Interior: Premium Cabin and New Tech Features</h2>

<p>Step inside the Clavis, and you are welcomed by a noticeably more premium and modern cabin. There’s a clear focus on technology and aesthetics, with improved materials on the dashboard that are both visually appealing and well-finished.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1749466906825.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>New additions include a connected island that houses twin 10.25-inch displays, a four-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, an updated steering wheel, and a larger dual-pane panoramic sunroof. One notable feature is the hybrid touch panel that toggles between media and climate controls. While it saves space on the dashboard, its usability while driving is questionable, as it requires taking your eyes off the road.</p><p>The second row remains largely unchanged. The Clavis is offered in both 6- and 7-seat configurations, similar to the Carens.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Kia-Clavis_Diesel_MTReview_autoX_03-1755597189589.webp" alt="Kia-Clavis_Diesel_MTReview_autoX_03.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The 7-seat variant now includes a three-point seatbelt for the middle passenger. A convenient walk-in feature allows the second-row passenger to adjust the front passenger seat via a lever on its side. Additionally, a one-touch tumble function for the left-side second-row seat makes accessing the third row quite easier.</p>

    
  
    
  


<p>Due to the extended sunroof reaching the second row, the roof-mounted AC vents have been repositioned to the sides.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-Sunroof-top-1749466922473.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-Sunroof-top.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>It’s slightly disappointing that the under-thigh support in the second row hasn’t seen any improvement. As for the third row, it’s reasonably comfortable for short trips but is more suitable for children than adults due to limited under-thigh support and legroom. That said, Kia has thoughtfully equipped the third row with AC vents, reading lights, two USB-C ports, and cupholders, adding to the overall practicality.</p>

<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Driving Experience: Comfort-Focussed and Easygoing</h2>

<p>The drivetrain options for the Clavis are the same as the Carens – a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Power and torque figures are also the same, but the Clavis now gets a 6-speed manual transmission option with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol variant.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-side-profile-dynamic-1749466901849.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-side-profile-dynamic.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>True to its character, the Clavis is tuned for comfort. This is evident in its quiet cabin, light steering, and well-cushioned suspension setup. Ground clearance is also generous – I didn’t encounter any issues, even when tackling tall speed breakers, during the test.</p><p>A key upgrade over the Carens is the inclusion of 20 Level 2 ADAS features, enhancing overall safety.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Kia-Carens-Clavis-steering-wheel-1755582015733.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-steering-wheel.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The Clavis is also equipped with additional cameras that enable a 360-degree surround view system, making parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces significantly easier.</p>

    
  


<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Verdict: A Value-Packed Upgrade Over the Carens?</h2>

<p>The Carens Clavis is undoubtedly a step up from the standard Carens. It offers a more modern design and additional features while retaining the plush ride quality and versatile powertrain options that made the original appealing.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-Rear-Three-Quarter-1749466928839.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Pricing for the Carens Clavis starts at a very attractive ₹11.50 lakh while the top trim costs ₹21.50 lakh. The base price is just a touch higher which is great to see. In my opinion, even the higher trims justify the hike because of the features they now come with. The Carens Clavis is an easy recommendation for families looking for a well-rounded and feature-rich three-row vehicle.</p>

Kia Carens Clavis First Drive Review - Raising the Bar

The new Kia Carens Clavis is here with fresh styling and more features, but does it offer enough to stand out as a better choice for Indian families?

<p>
The Chang International Circuit is F-A-S-T. Long straights, hard acceleration zones, and harder braking points – all stitched together with some truly terrifying high-speed corners. Common sense would suggest it’s not exactly the ideal playground for first-timers on a top-dog, litre-class superbike. But when it’s about Ducati, there’s always some room for surprise. Which is why they flew me to this MotoGP track to get my first taste of the 2025 Panigale V4 S.</p>

<h2>2025 Ducati Panigale V4 S: What’s New and Why It Matters</h2>

<p>Now, this is a big deal. This is about the brand-new Panigale V4 – the flagship from Bologna. As you’d expect, Ducati has been shouting from the rooftops that this is the best-ever, fastest-ever, and most forward-looking Panigale, ever. A manufacturer hyping its latest product? Business as usual, or are they actually telling the truth?</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747141659627-vsrg-Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-side-profile.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S-side-profile.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>Well, after spending a full day on it, lapping a racetrack under the sweltering Buriram sun, we think we have the answer. The new Panigale V4 is fan-effing-tastic!</p><p>Now, of course, a whole lot of fine-tuning and fresh changes have gone into this 7G Panigale. But let’s start with the familiar. The 2025 version is still propelled by the same 1,103cc V4 engine. It’s still blazingly red. And it’s still very desirable. Some might complain the design has softened, but it grows on you with time. Two minutes, to be precise. That’s how long it took me to fall for it.</p><h2>Ducati Panigale V4 S Engine, Frame and Suspension Updates Explained</h2><p>Let’s move to the finer details. The frame is all-new, and so is the dual-sided swingarm, which replaces the gorgeous single-sided unit of the outgoing model. Why the change? Because it’s all about form following function here. The new swingarm reduces lateral stiffness by a whopping 37%. It’s a similar story with the front frame – it claims to bring lateral rigidity down by an impressive 40%.</p>
    

    
  
    
  




<p>There are also new electronics, an updated Öhlins semi-electronic suspension setup, a beefed-up braking package, and more. Now, I could go on and type out the entire brochure for you, but I’m pretty sure I’d run out of space on these pages. So, let’s cut to the chase and talk about what really matters: the riding experience.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747141569427-9mcu-Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-2.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S-2.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>If you’ve ridden the original Panigale V4, especially the first-gen from 2017, you’ll remember what an assassin it was. Relentless. Rigid. Unforgiving. It was hot-blooded and temperamental, like a heavyweight boxer dialled up to 11. A lethal weapon that wouldn’t hesitate to chew you up and spit you out for the slightest mistake.</p><h2>How the 2025 Panigale V4 S Rides on Track</h2>

    
  
    
  


<p>Ducati realised the problem quickly, which is why the later versions of the Panigale V4 became a bit less feverish and a little more friendly. But, as they say, a leopard doesn’t change its spots – the red mist never fully cleared from the Panigale’s head. Well, that was until now. The new Panigale V4 is a complete rethink. It’s no longer out for your blood the moment you twist the throttle. Instead, this one gently holds your hand, calms your nerves, and then blows your pants off – same, same, but very different.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747141550068-wqj2-Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-Motion.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S-Motion.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>It is noticeably friendlier to ride – something that was clear from the very first lap. It feels lighter, roomier, and far less physically demanding. At 213bhp, the V4 motor still produces more or less the same power, but these 2025-spec horses are far more accessible.</p>

<p>For instance, the throttle no longer feels like you’re cracking open the lid of a nuclear reactor. The response is sharp but measured, and not barking mad. Make no mistake, the acceleration is still mind-tinglingly brutish, and a slight twist of the wrist will still leave you breathless – just not in a suicidal way.</p>

<p>And those long straights? The Panigale eats them up like Pac-Man. The acceleration is jaw-dropping. But before you can even pick your jaw off the floor, you’re hard on the brakes, and down it goes again on the floor – the stopping power from the new Brembo Hypure brakes are simply sensational.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747141575618-c30a-Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-3.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S-3.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    

<p>What’s more, you now get Race eCBS – a linked braking system that automatically engages the rear brake for trail braking when you grab the front lever. The result? Tighter lines into apexes and a sense that, just maybe, you’re the second coming of Marc Márquez.</p>

<p>And last but not least, the handling and electronics. While the old Panigale needed to be muscled into corners at high speeds, this one flows with you, like an extension of your body. You can hurl it into a bend without a second thought, and it’ll rocket out the other side, gripping the tarmac like a leech. Honestly, it feels more like a middleweight than a full-fat litre-class machine.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/05/1747141542250-9h1j-Ducati-Panigale-V4-S-Speedometer.webp" alt="Ducati Panigale V4 S-Speedometer.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p>

<p>Adding to that sense of confidence is its suite of stellar electronics, including the new DVO (Ducati Vehicle Observer), which constantly tweaks wheelie control and traction control in real time. Not only does it keep you from launching yourself into space but also helps you post faster lap times.</p>

<h2>2025 Ducati Panigale V4 S Verdict: Should You Buy One?</h2>

<p>As far as I’m concerned, the Panigale V4 S is faultless. It’s blisteringly fast and drop-dead gorgeous, and now it’s also friendlier and more welcoming than ever. Regardless of your skill level, it’s a motorcycle that urges you to push harder, without punishing your body or bruising your ego. The only downside? That price tag. At ₹36.5 lakh (ex-showroom), it demands a heck of a lot of money. But, then, in return, you also get a heck of a lot of bike.</p><p>
