Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric Launched In India At Rs 78.05 Lakh

Hoping to catch up to BMW in India's fast-growing luxury electric vehicle market, Mercedes-Benz has launched its brand-new GLC Electric, priced at Rs 78.05 lakh (ex-showroom). The GLC is being locally produced at Mercedes-Benz's plant in Chakan, near Pune, and for now, is available in a single, fully-loaded variant: the GLC 400 4MATIC.

 

 

Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric: Design and dimensions

 

The GLC Electric – built on the MB.EA-M platform – is substantial in proportions compared to other SUVs in its segment. It measures in at 4,856 mm in length, 1,913 mm in width and 1,652 mm in height, and also has a super-long 2,972 mm wheelbase. In every dimension, the GLC Electric is larger than the combustion engine model.

For a stronger visual identity, Mercedes-Benz has given the GLC Electric a chrome-lined ‘grille’ that is inspired by the front-end of some iconic Mercedes cars such as the 600 Pullman and the W111 S-Class. A total of 942 dotted LEDs make up the core of the grille area, and produce a captivating light show every time you unlock the SUV.

The GLC Electric also houses illuminated stars in its ‘Digital Light’ headlights as well as its wraparound tail-light clusters, and has puddle lamps that project the three-pointed star on the ground. The SUV will be available in six colours – Obsidian black, Lavender silver, Alpine grey solid, Patagonia red metallic, Opalite white bright, and the Sheer blue pictured here.

 

Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric: Interior and features

 

To up the ‘wow’ quotient of the e-SUV, Mercedes has added an expansive 39.1-inch ‘Hyperscreen’ to the GLC Electric's interior. This combines three screens – digital driver's display, central touchscreen and front passenger display – seamlessly behind a single piece of glass that spans the width of the dashboard.

Other features that will grab attention on the inside include an electrochromic glass roof with nine switchable segments and illuminated stars, adaptive ambient lighting and a 15-speaker Burmester 3D surround sound system. 

 

The floating centre console frees up storage space beneath it, and houses two wireless phone charging pads, cupholders and room underneath the centre armrest.

However, a couple of glaring misses in the GLC Electric are seat ventilation (only heated seats available for now) and rear sun shades. 

 

As the GLC Electric only has two rows of seats, boot space is rated at 570 litres, which can rise to 1,740 litres with the rear seats folded down.

 

Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric: Battery, motors, range and charging

 

The GLC 400 4MATIC – which utilises an 800-volt architecture – has a nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery with a useable capacity of 94 kWh. This battery powers two motors, which develop a combined 483 bhp and 800 Nm of torque, which means this is the most powerful iteration of the GLC to come to India till date.

With all that performance on tap, the GLC 400 can sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in 4.3 seconds, and hit a top speed of 210 kmph. Mercedes says the range is up to 711 kilometres on the WLTP cycle. 

 

As standard, the GLC Electric will come with a 22 kW AC wallbox charger, that can replenish the battery fully in under seven hours. However, for customers who do not need the charger, Mercedes will replace it with a card pre-loaded with energy credits worth 2,500 kWh that can be used at public fast chargers across India. Peak DC fast-charging is rated at 330 kW for the GLC Electric. 

 

Interestingly, the GLC Electric in India also misses out on air suspension which is part of the GLC 400 4MATIC package overseas, along with rear-wheel steering. 

 

For now, the GLC Electric doesn't have a direct rival, and won't have one until the BMW iX3 arrives in 2027.

Yamaha Tenere 4 Concept Revealed Ahead Of EICMA 2026

Yamaha has unveiled the Tenere 4 Concept ahead of EICMA 2026 in Milan, previewing a new lightweight adventure motorcycle that will sit below the Tenere 700 in its lineup. The concept is part of the Japanese manufacturer's plans to expand its adventure motorcycle range over the coming years.

The Tenere 4 Concept features a newly developed single-cylinder engine designed to deliver strong low- and mid-range torque alongside usable performance at higher engine speeds. Yamaha has not disclosed the engine's displacement, power output or torque figures, but the motorcycle is being developed with European A2 licence requirements in mind.

The motorcycle gets a new steel frame designed to balance strength and low weight. Its off-road-focused hardware includes KYB suspension, 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheels, and Michelin Anakee Wild tyres. The concept also features a compact titanium exhaust from Akrapovic.

Styling cues include a slim profile, a low and flat fuel tank, rally-inspired bodywork, a tall windscreen and hand guards. The design draws inspiration from the larger Tenere models, while the lightweight platform aims to make off-road riding more accessible.

Yamaha has not announced a production timeline or pricing for the Tenere 4. The concept, however, signals the brand's intent to compete in the growing lightweight adventure motorcycle segment. This is something that will definitely make its way onto Indian shores.

New Norton 450 To Be Launched In 2027

Norton has shown the first glimpse of its new 450 motorcycle, which is set to make its debut at EICMA tomorrow. The brand has confirmed that sales will begin in 2027, and the bike is also expected to make its way to India in the same year. Now, full specifications, along with its name, are under wraps, but the brand has been kind enough to share some details.

 

The design is quite different from what you'd expect of a motorcycle in this segment. It has a sharply sculpted body, with large side panels extending around the engine. The overall shape, particularly around the sides, appears to take some inspiration from the larger Manx model. The alloy wheel design is also from Norton's wardrobe.

Norton 450 1

The 454cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine makes 45Nm of torque. Norton hasn't revealed its power output. The engine is housed in an aluminium frame, which would make it a first in the segment. From the looks of it, the cycle parts include a USD fork at the front and what appears to be a monoshock at the rear. There are disc brakes at both ends and alloy wheels. On the features front, it gets an 8-inch TFT display.

 

Norton has not confirmed an India launch date, but the motorcycle is expected to be built at TVS Motor Company's Hosur plant. The new motorcycle is part of Norton's revival under TVS Motor Company. At EICMA 2025, the brand showcased four new models – the Manx, Manx R, Atlas and Atlas GT.

 

Norton will launch the 450 model in India sometime in 2027. Given it is a single-cylinder, it is expected to throw its hat against models such as the KTM 390 Duke, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 and the like. However, the Norton offering will be on the premium side.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 Colour Options Revealed

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 was unveiled recently. It is the brand's first motorcycle featuring a 750cc engine.

Overall, it will be available in five colour options: Antarctic Silver, Aztec Green, Siberia White, Teutonic Black and Viking Bronze.

 

Antarctic Silver

Himalayan 750 5

Antarctic Silver gets a silver base colour. There are red accents on the cowl, front and rear rims, and pillion grab handle. It can also be seen that this colour scheme is available with spoke wheels. Additionally, it gets dark grey stripes on the cowl, with Himalayan written in a dark shade, along with 750 in bright red. The red accent continues along the border of the cowl.

Aztec Green

Himalayan 750 4

The Aztec Green colour on the Himalayan 750 is available with alloy wheels. The highlight of this colour is the dark green portion on the lower half of the cowl, along with a flowing pattern featuring the ‘Himalayan 750’ lettering. There are bright green accents on the alloys of the motorcycle.

 

Siberia White

Himalayan 750 1

The Siberia White colour scheme uses white as the base colour, and the cowl gets bold yellow, orange and brown stripes layered above each other. Moreover, there are black stripes at certain intervals. This colour option comes with spoked wheels. The ‘Himalayan 750’ badging is finished in black and positioned on the lower half of the cowl.

 

Teutonic Black

Himalayan 750 3

The Teutonic Black features a black base colour with a shade of maroon on the cowl and the tank. Unlike the other colours, the seat is finished in a dual-tone colour scheme with a mix of red and black. There are yellow chrome and light yellow thick stripes on the cowl, which are also carried over to the tank. This colour is featured with the alloy wheel version, which has yellow accents.

 

Viking Bronze

Himalayan 750 2

The Viking Bronze has a shade of grey as the base coat. It gets blue accents on both wheels. There is a pattern of slanting lines on the tank and the cowl, with 750 written in bright blue. The shade is paired with a set of spoke wheels.

 

In terms of looks, it gets a new headlamp cowl that extends back towards the tank. It misses out on the beak-like design seen on the Himalayan 450. The turn signals are mounted on the cowl. Although the technical specifications are not out, we can see that it has adjustable front forks.

 

Alongside this, it has a circular digital instrument cluster. The Himalayan 750 is Royal Enfield's first entry into the 750cc class, and its engine is a twin-cylinder unit.

Flagship Hero Xpulse 421 set for Eicma debut tomorrow

Hero MotoCorp is expected to unveil its flagship Xpulse 421 at EICMA 2026 in Milan tomorrow, November 3. A new teaser from the company features its rally-racing machines and references the Xpulse name, but does not show the motorcycle itself. The timing aligns with EICMA’s press day, which kicks off the show. 

The Xpulse 421 was first previewed as a concept at EICMA 2024 and has since been spotted testing, including in Ladakh. It is expected to sit above the Xpulse 210 as Hero’s largest adventure motorcycle. Reports point to a new 421cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed gearbox, though Hero has not confirmed the final specifications or performance figures. 

Xpulse 421

Spy shots suggest an adventure-focused setup, including a trellis frame, long-travel suspension and spoke wheels with a 21-inch front. A large TFT display and rider-focused electronics are also expected, but details will only be clear once the production bike is revealed.

An India launch is expected in 2027. When it arrives, the Xpulse 421 is likely to take on the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure in the mid-capacity adventure segment.

Mini Cooper SE 1

 

On the design front, the electric Cooper SE will not look all that different from the petrol Cooper S already on sale in the country. Differences come down to the grille and the badging, with the Cooper SE featuring an enclosed grille - in the same design as the ICE Cooper S - and yellow S badging on the nose and tailgate to the petrol car’s red badge. Alloy wheel designs too are likely to be different, and the Cooper SE could also be offered in some colours unique to the powertrain option.

Inside, the cabin too is not expected to get very many differences with the most notable expected to be EV-specific graphics on the digital interfaces within the cabin. The SE retains the circular central infotainment touchscreen that also doubles as the instrument cluster and the knitted-top dashboard and door cards. In terms of features, expect the SE to offer similar tech as the Cooper S, including a heads-up display, powered front seats, all-LED lighting, wireless phone charger, auto climate control, Harman Kardon surround sound system, panoramic glass roof and more.
 

Under the skin, the Cooper SE retains the front-wheel-drive layout of its petrol sibling with an electric motor and battery pack replacing the internal combustion engine and fuel tank. The electric motor develops a peak 215 bhp and 330 Nm and is paired with a 54.2 kWh battery as standard. Claimed range stands at 402 km with a 0-100 kmph sprint time of 6.2 seconds.


Mini Cooper SE 3

 

Mini claims that the Cooper SE supports up to 95 kW DC fast charging with a 10 to 80 per cent charge time of around 30 minutes.
 

Mini Cooper Paul Smith Edition


Mini Paul Smith Edition

The standard Cooper SE is set to be joined by the Paul Smith limited edition Cooper hatchback. Featuring design inputs from the British designer, the Paul Smith Edition hatchbacks feature unique exterior and interior colourways along with edition-specific graphics, badging, 18-inch black-finished alloy wheels and some unique features.


Mini Paul Smith Edition 1

 

Globally, the Paul Smith Edition is offered across the Cooper three-door, five-door and Convertible body styles and in internal combustion and electric guise. The final spec for India remains to be seen.

Not much has changed from the prototype, but the new Himalayan 750 features a design that differs from its smaller stablemates.
