The MG Windsor EV made headlines in India not just for what it is, but for how you can buy it. Introduced with an innovative battery-as-a-service (BaaS) model — where buyers pay a lower upfront cost and rent the battery on a per-km basis — the Windsor upended conventional EV pricing in India and sparked serious conversation about affordability and ownership models. But beyond the finance novelty, is it a good family electric car? We tested it extensively across city and highway conditions to find out.

Hero MotoCorp’s foray into the sporty scooter segment with the Xoom 110 represents the brand’s effort to shed its image as a purely utilitarian manufacturer and attract younger, urban buyers. The Hero Xoom 110 competes directly with the Yamaha RayZR 125 and Honda Dio in the sporty scooter sub-segment, offering a sharp design and connected features at a competitive price.

The Kia Seltos has been one of India’s top-selling mid-size SUVs since its launch. Its facelift for 2025–26 raises the stakes significantly — sharper styling, a redesigned interior with larger screens, a new petrol-hybrid drivetrain option, and a refreshed ADAS suite. The question on every buyer’s mind: is the Seltos Facelift better than the Hyundai Creta, its platform sibling and closest rival? We drove both back-to-back to give you a clear-eyed answer.

Yamaha has always been the brand that young, style-conscious Indian two-wheeler buyers gravitate towards, and the RayZR 125 is designed precisely for that demographic. With its sharp, angular styling, punchy 125 cc Blue Core engine, and youth-focused features, the RayZR 125 positions itself as the sporty alternative in a segment dominated by conventional family scooters. But can it back up its sporty image with real-world performance? We tested it on city streets, flyovers, and weekend rides to find out.

The Yamaha YZF-R15 V5 has been the benchmark for fully faired 150cc motorcycles in India since the original R15 launched in 2008. With each iteration, Yamaha has pushed the R15 further toward its MotoGP-inspired brief — more power, more technology, more aggression. The V5, which arrives with VVA (Variable Valve Actuation), traction control, and a quickshifter, represents the apex of what a sub-₹2 lakh faired motorcycle can be. But at ₹1.84–2.08 lakh ex-showroom, it carries a significant premium over rivals. Is it justified? After 4,200 km of testing, here is our answer. Quick Specifications ParameterDetails Engine155cc, Single-Cylinder, Liquid-Cooled, SOHC, VVA…

When Hyundai announced the Creta Electric, it sent ripples through the Indian automotive industry. The Creta is already India’s best-selling SUV in the petrol segment, and electrifying it was both a logical and ballsy move. The Creta Electric isn’t just a battery-swapped version of the petrol Creta — it is a ground-up rethought product with a new BEV-specific platform derivative, a dramatically different interior, and a feature set that punches far above its asking price. We got our hands on it for a thorough first drive across Bengaluru city roads and the scenic Coorg highway route to give you the…

The Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is the most powerful motorcycle Bajaj has ever produced under the Pulsar name — and arguably the most significant. At just over ₹2 lakh ex-showroom, it brings 400cc, liquid-cooled performance to a price point that was previously unthinkable in India. It aims squarely at buyers who have outgrown the NS200 and NS160 but are not yet ready to step into KTM or BMW territory on price. After extensive testing covering city commutes, highway blasts, and mountain twisties, here is our comprehensive verdict.

Hyundai stunned the Indian EV market when it launched the Creta Electric — the electric variant of India’s best-selling mid-size SUV. The Creta name carries enormous goodwill in India, and Hyundai has leveraged it smartly: the Creta Electric does not ask buyers to take a leap of faith into an unknown brand or an unfamiliar body style. Instead, it offers the familiar comfort of the Creta they already know and trust, with an electric powertrain underneath. We spent a week with the Creta Electric across Pune’s city streets and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Here is everything you need to know. Quick…

India’s electric SUV segment has two standout contenders in 2026: the Tata Harrier EV and the Mahindra BE 6. Both are home-grown, both target the premium buyer willing to make the switch to electric, and both promise a blend of performance, range, and technology rarely seen at their price points. But they are fundamentally different machines — the Harrier EV is a familiar, family-friendly evolution of a trusted nameplate, while the BE 6 is a bold, born-electric statement of what Mahindra’s new electric vision looks like. Which one deserves your ₹25+ lakh investment? Let’s find out. Specifications Comparison SpecificationTata Harrier…

It represents Mahindra’s most serious statement yet in the premium EV segment — and after extensive road testing across multiple Indian conditions, we can say it very nearly delivers on all its promises.
