Mahindra XEV 9e Lineup To Expand With Launch Of Pack Three 59 kWh, Pack Three Select 79 kWh Variants

Mahindra is set to expand the XEV 9e variant line-up, with buyers likely to be offered a choice of battery packs on top variants. The XEV 9e is currently offered in four trim levels – Pack One, Pack Two, Pack Three Select and Pack Three. All but the top Pack Three trim get the 59 kWh battery pack as standard, with the 79 kWh battery limited to the fully loaded trim. Now, as per a recent type approval filing, the carmaker has included two additional top variants – Pack Three Select with the larger 79 kWh battery and the top Pack Three with the smaller 59 kWh pack.

This upgrade should go some way in making the XEV 9e more appealing to buyers, with the smaller battery for the fully-loaded model helping to drop the asking price for the Pack Three trim, thus opening it up to a new set of buyers. Similarly, the larger battery pack for the Pack Three Select would also offer buyers the option of a long-range EV without having to shell out over Rs 30 lakh for the fully loaded model. The new variants would also go some way in plugging the current near Rs 3 lakh price difference between the Pack Three Select and Pack Three. The former is currently priced at Rs 27.90 lakh (ex-showroom, excluding charger) while the latter is priced at Rs 30.50 lakh (ex-showroom, excluding charger).

Interestingly, type approval documents dating back to the time of the SUV’s India debut late last year show that the variants had been considered for both the XEV 9e and BE 6. Filings from December 2024 show the two models M110 (codename for the BE 6) and M310 (codename for the XEV 9e) offered with four trim levels – Pack A, Pack B, Pack C and Pack C+, with the latter two listed with both 59 kWh and 79 kWh battery packs. This could mean that going forward, Mahindra could consider adding the new variants to the BE6 SUV as well.

Mahindra has witnessed strong demand for its new ‘Born Electric’ SUVs, with over 10,000 units delivered since deliveries started in March 2025. What makes it more impressive is that Mahindra has yet to commence deliveries of all variants of the SUV in India. Deliveries of the two SUVs have been undertaken in a phased manner, with Pack Three deliveries having started in March and Pack Three Select, Pack Two and Pack One variant deliveries slated to start in June, July and August 2025, respectively.

Customer Complaints Reduced by 18% In FY2025: Tata Motors

Tata Motors has revealed the number of complaints it receives from customers has gone down considerably in the last few years. In a filing with the Bombay Stock Exchange, the brand shared that in FY2025, the total number of complaints it received for its products went down by 18 per cent when compared to the previous financial year. Additionally, vehicles with multiple workshop visits also reduced by a quarter in the same period.

 

The brand is adding more service bays to cater to increasing customer demand.

 

The brand has received its fair share of criticism in the recent past specially with respect to the aftersales experience its customers face. While 21 critical cities were identified in FY2025 and 700 bays added, another 25 cities have been identified for the current financial year with an aim to add 600 new service bays in those cities. Tata says it has also worked on workshop ambience and layout to ensure better lead times and customer experiences.

Number of vehicles serviced on the same day has also gone up.

 

Inconsistent roadside assistance and poor on-site vehicle repairs were also identified as key issues which resulted in customer anxiety and dissatisfaction. A new digitised roadside assistance and dealer-led on-site repairs have helped solving those problems to an extent. The brand says vehicles serviced on the same day has also gone up and so has consumer appreciation.

New TVS Electric Scooter Design Patented: Will This Be The Entry-Level TVS EV?

TVS has filed a design patent for a new electric scooter, though this time it's outside of India. The company has filed a design patent for a boxy-looking scooter in Indonesia, with the model likely to be a new affordable scooter which could be sold in select international markets.

The new scooter has squared off body panels with an angular apron housing what looks to be the edge-to-edge LED DRL strip. The main headlight sits on the front cowl, with a tall visor positioned above. The front wheel features a truncated mudguard. Down the sides, the scooter gets a flat seat and almost slab-sided looks courtesy of flat side panels. Around the rear, it gets a slim edge-to-edge tail lamp design again in line with the iQube, along with split grab handles. 

Suspension duties look to be handled by a telescopic fork up front and dual shocks at the rear. As with the iQube the new electric scooter looks to feature a hub-mounted electric motor.

 

It remains to be seen how the scooter will be positioned by TVS and if it will be offered in the Indian market. Given the patent has been filed outside the country, the new model could be a region-specific model to help push sales in the market.

Yamaha Files Patent For New Electric Turbo Engine

Yamaha recently filed a patent for a new CP3 motorcycle that is understandably under development. However, what’s more interesting were the drawings of the engine shown in the patent, which seem to depict a new kind of powertrain with an electric turbocharger that Yamaha is developing. The patent filings, however, don’t reveal any technical specifications and merely show the arrangement of the components in the engine. If the reports are true, this could very well mean that Yamaha is taking a leaf out of Honda’s playbook and developing its own version of an electric turbocharged engine.

Yamaha appears to developing its own version of an engine with an e-turbo

 

Reports of Yamaha developing a turbocharged engine have been rampant for quite some time now. A few years back, patent images of a turbocharged three-cylinder prototype had surfaced on the internet. Patent drawings had then shown a forced induction 847 cc, three-cylinder engine that churned out 180 bhp at 8,500 rpm while creating a peak torque of 176 Nm that maintains a flat curve all the way from 3,000 rpm to 7,000 rpm.
 

Tightening emission norms around the world have led to widespread reports about the discontinuation of several high-performance motorcycles. While car manufacturers have largely switched to downsized, electrified or forced-induction powertrains for the foreseeable future, two-wheeler manufacturers manufacturers still remain. However, the landscape now looks to be changing as manufacturers seem to be coming up with their unique solutions to the problem. Another Japanese motorcycle brand exploring a new avenue is Kawasaki, which currently has a lineup of hybrid bikes on offer, in addition to its supercharged motorcycles.

Honda unveiled its concept powertrain last year at EICMA 2024, which gave us a glimpse of its views on the future of motorcycling and its plans to adapt to ever-changing emission norms across the world. The engine, a liquid-cooled V3 4-stroke engine, featured two forward-facing cylinder heads and a single rear cylinder head positioned at a 75-degree angle. The electric turbo in the powertrain was fitted above the front cylinder heads directing the compressed air into the cylinders via a centrally-mounted intake manifold. The whole setup was incorporated within a tubular trellis frame.

2025 Yezdi Adventure vs Royal Enfield Himalayan vs KTM 390 Adventure X: Specifications, Features, Prices Compared

Yezdi recently rolled out an update for the Adventure, less than a year after the motorcycle had been updated for the 2024 model year. With the update, the motorcycle features refreshed styling, and gets even more features than before. Which got us thinking, how does the bike now stack up with the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the KTM 390 Adventure X, two of the most established motorcycles in the segment. We find out.

Design and Dimensions

The 2025 Yezdi Roadster gets a twin headlight setup that gives the motorcycle a more retro appearance

 

On the cosmetic front, the Yezdi Adventure has a more understated, less-flashy design than the other two motorcycles. That said, while the Yezdi won’t necessarily grab eyeballs, it does have a sense of style to it, with the new twin headlight setup elevating the retro characteristic. However, for those who think the new headlight is a bit of an overkill, Yezdi still offers the motorcycle with a single round headlight. 

 

The KTM is easily the most attention-grabbing motorcycle in this comparison

 

However, if you want a motorcycle that gets attention while out on the road, it is the KTM Adventure X you should be looking at. While the other two motorcycles are offered in more sober colour schemes, the KTM can be had in a brighter orange shade, in addition to a white shade with hints of orange and black. It is also worth noting that the Adventure X might just be the most distinctive looking bike in this comparison. The Royal Enfield Himalayan meanwhile, is an elegant motorcycle in its own right, as evident by its huge fanbase across the country, and even around the world.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan's design has been well received ever since its launch

	Yezdi Adventure	Royal Enfield Himalayan	KTM 390 Adventure X
Kerb Weight	187 kg	196 kg	181 kg
Seat Height	815 mm	825 mm (standard seat)	825 mm
Fuel Tank Capacity	15.5 litre	17 litre	14.5 litre
Wheelbase	1465 mm	1510 mm	1470 mm

When it comes to dimensions, the Yezdi Adventure has the shortest wheelbase here, amounting to 1465 mm. The fuel tank capacity of the Yezdi is also quite sizable, with a 15.5 litre capacity, although it is not as big as the Himalayan’s 17 litre tank. The KTM meanwhile, has the smallest tank here, which can hold up to 14.5 litres of fuel. While the Himalayan’s seat height is 825 mm in standard guise, the motorcycle can also be fitted with a ‘low seat’, which lowers the seat height to 805 mm. The Himalayan’s seat can also be raised by up to 845 mm with the standard seat. The KTM’s seat height, meanwhile, amounts to 825 mm. The lightest motorcycle here is the Adventure X, with its 181 kg kerb weight, while the Yezdi Adventure, weighing 187 kg is right in the middle. The heaviest here is the Himalayan, weighing in at 196 kg.

Powertrain

 

	Yezdi Adventure	Royal Enfield Himalayan	KTM 390 Adventure X
Displacement	334 cc	452 cc	398.63 cc
Engine	Single-cylinder, liquid-cooled	Single-cylinder, liquid cooled	Single-cylinder, liquid cooled
Max Power	29 bhp	39.47 bhp	45.37 bhp
Peak Torque	29.56 Nm	40 Nm	39 Nm
Gearbox	Six-speed	Six-speed	Six-speed

On the powertrain front, all motorcycles are quite different from each other. The Yezdi, being the more affordable motorcycle here, comes with a smaller 334 cc engine that churns out 29 bhp and 29.56 Nm of peak torque. The Himalayan’s Sherpa engine, on the other hand, is a larger 452 cc unit that produces 39.47 bhp and 40 Nm of torque. The KTM meanwhile, has a smaller engine than the Himalayan, although, owing to the KTM mill’s high-revving nature, it develops more power than the latter. All motorcycles feature a six-speed transmission.
 

Cycle Parts

 

	2025 Yezdi Adventure	Royal Enfield Himalayan	KTM 390 Adventure X
Front Shock	Telescopic fork	Upside-down fork	WP Apex Upside-down fork
Rear Shock - Travel	Monoshock	Monoshock	Monoshock
Tyre	Tube spokes	Tube/ Tubeless spokes	Tubeless alloys
Brakes	320 mm Disc (Front) 240 mm Disc (Rear)	320 mm Disc (Front) 270 mm Disc (Rear)	320 mm Disc (Front) 240 mm Disc (Rear)

When it comes to cycle parts, all motorcycles are more or less the same. While the KTM and Himalayan get USD front suspension setups, the Yezdi Adventure comes with a more basic telescopic fork setup. At the rear, all motorcycles come with monoshocks with pre-load adjustability. While the Himalayan and KTM are offered with tubeless tyres, the Yezdi Adventure isn’t, although carandbike has learnt that it will get tubeless rims in future, although, it is not sure by when. The brake disc sizes of the Yezdi and KTM are identical, The Himalayan, meanwhile comes with a larger 270 mm rear disc.
 

Features

The KTM (left) and the Royal Enfield (right-bottom) get colour digital TFT displays, while the Yezdi (right top) gets a simpler unit

 

With the recent update, the Yezdi Adventure now gets traction control, which notably, the Royal Enfield and KTM don’t get, despite being far more expensive motorcycles. However, the Royal Enfield gets a fully-digital colour instrument cluster, and ride-by-wire with two ride modes, which is not offered on the Yezdi Adventure. The Yezdi meanwhile, gets a more basic instrument console. While not the most expensive motorcycle on the list, the KTM 390 Adventure X is the most loaded bike here, featuring a quickshifter, off-road ABS, a 5-inch fully-digital TFT and ride-by-wire.
 

Prices

	2025 Yezdi Adventure	Royal Enfield Himalayan	KTM 390 Adventure X
Prices (ex-showroom)	Rs 2.15 lakh to Rs 2.27 lakh	Rs 2.85 lakh to Rs 2.98 lakh	Rs 2.91 lakh

While the Yezdi Adventure may fall short in some areas, it is worth remembering that it is the most affordable motorcycle here by a huge margin. With prices ranging from Rs 2.15 to Rs 2.27 lakh, the Yezdi is up to Rs 83,000 more affordable than the top-spec Himalayan and up to Rs 76,000 more affordable than the 390 Adventure X.

The big addition to the Emira range is the V6 SE version where the engine has been refined even more and a new compression mount for the manual gearbox has been added for more precise gear changes. The 3.5-litre V6 makes 395 bhp and does 0-100 kmph in a mere 4.3 seconds. Lotus has also optimised damper calibration and made adjustments in wheel alignment for sharper handling and better ride comfort. The Emira V6 SE has two defined chassis and suspension settings- one for everyday road use and other for a stiffer suspension set-up.

Finished in Zinc Grey as standard, the model gets exclusive features like V6 SE badges, the extended Black Pack, 20-inch forged alloy wheels, red brake calipers and an interior finished in Alcantara, and sport pedals. Apart from this, buyers can opt from any of 15 exterior colours, 7 interior themes, 4 brake calliper finishes and 8 wheel designs. Prices for the Emira V6 SE start at £96,500* in the UK.
 

New entry variant gets a new purple haze colour option.

 

The new entry variant, Emira Turbo is powered by a 4-cylinder twin-scroll turbo engine mated to an 8-speed DCT gearbox and achieves a 0-100 kmph in 4.4 seconds. Like the V6, it also features Tour and Sport driving modes apart from an integrated rear spoiler and electro-hydraulic power steering. Externally, car gets Turbo badges, yellow-black Lotus emblems and satin silver details. It is available to order from £79,500 in the UK.
 

Existing Emira models now get an optimised cooling system which has helped in better cooling and lower vehicle weight. Apart from recalibrating the air-conditioning system, the opening temperature of the engine thermostat has also been increased from 65°C to 75°C, improving heating and performance under severe conditions. The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) has been worked upon too, resulting in faster shift times and improved shift quality, according to Lotus. ADAS is now standard, so are features like 12-way electric seats with memory, a 190 W audio system, and wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
 

Emira Racing Line with a more sporty look has also been introduced

 

Finally, Lotus has also introduced a Racing Line design option on the car which is available on the Turbo SE and V6 SE models. It adds a lower pinstripe in yellow, red or silver colour options. Racing Line badges  are complimented by high-gloss black wheels and a black and silver exterior logo while the cabin gets stitching in the chosen accent colour.
