Tesla has rolled out a small upgrade for the Model S sedan and Model X SUV in global markets. Now up to $ 5,000 (about Rs 4.3 lakh) pricier than before, the Tesla siblings get minor design tweaks, updated equipment and in the case of the Model S Long Range, improved range as well.

Starting things off, both models receive a suspension update claimed to improve ride quality. Alongside this, both cars get new aero-optimised alloy wheel options – 20-inchers on the Model X and 19-inchers on the Model S. Buyers furthermore get the option to upsize these to 22-inchers and 21-inchers respectively. Cosmetically, the biggest changes are to the Plaid variants, which get tweaked bumper designs along with an upgraded front-facing camera for the new model year. Both models also get a new Frost Blue colour as a paid option.

Moving to the cabin, the most notable updates come in the form of new configurable ambient lighting and a new welcome function on starting up the vehicle. Tesla says it has also upgraded the Active Noise Cancelling function of both vehicles to improve cabin ambience. The Yoke steering is now offered as an option only on the Plaid variants. Tesla also says it has liberated additional room in the Model X’s third row.

Tesla claims that the updates to both vehicles have helped improve range. The Model S Long Range now offers a claimed range of 660 km – the highest in the carmaker’s range, while the Plaid will now do up to 592 km. What some people might not like is the change to the Model S Plaid’s performance. While the 0-100 kmph time stays unchanged, reports claim that the top speed has been reduced from 321 kmph to 240 kmph.

Tesla is expected to make an entry into India soon, with the company currently hiring staff for its India sales operations and in the process of setting up dealerships in Mumbai and Delhi.

Tata Harrier EV: 10 Features That Are First For A Tata

Tata Motors recently launched the Harrier EV in the Indian market, with prices beginning at Rs 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom, excluding the charger). With the Harrier EV, Tata has left no stone unturned when it comes to equipment and features on board. The all-electric Harrier model incorporates several features that are a first for a Tata vehicle, and we list some of the key offerings below. 

 

Also Read: Tata Harrier EV Top Speed, Kerb Weight Revealed

 

1. QWD – dual motors 

One of the main talking points of the Harrier EV is its Quad-Wheel Drive (QWD) setup, which is essentially an all-wheel drive system, making it the first Tata EV to get it. While the standard Harrier EV comes with rear-wheel drive, powered by a 235 bhp electric motor, the QWD variant adds a second 156 bhp motor on the front axle. The combined output is rated to be 391 bhp and 504 Nm of torque. 

 

2. QWD terrain modes 

Given it gets AWD on the higher variants, the Harrier EV features six terrain modes: Rock Crawl, Snow, Gravel, Sand, Normal, and a customisable sixth mode. These come in addition to the four standard drive modes.

3. Off-road assist  

 

Another QWD-exclusive feature is an off-road assist or cruise control mode, which allows the vehicle to maintain a low, steady speed over uneven terrain. 

 

4. 14.53-inch Neo QLED display 

Tata claims that the 14.53-inch QLED display in the Harrier EV, which manages infotainment duties, is not just a first for the brand but also a first in the automotive space. For reference, the ICE-powered Harrier comes equipped with a 12.3-inch touchscreen.  

 

5. Transparent view mode 

The Harrier EV is also the first Tata vehicle to offer a transparent view mode through its 360-degree camera system, allowing drivers to see beneath the vehicle. This is similar to what we have seen on high-end models like the Land Rover Defender and Range Rover.

6. Autonomous parking system 

The Harrier EV is also equipped with an autonomous parking system, capable of parking the car without the driver inside. A summon function allows the vehicle to be moved from a parking spot using the round key fob, which gets dedicated vehicle-manoeuvring buttons.  

 

7. Reverse assist 

 

The Reverse Assist feature in the Harrier EV helps navigate out of tight parking spots by retracing the last 50 meters driven under 30 kmph, automatically handling steering, acceleration, and braking to return you to your starting point.

 

8. Digital rearview mirror with DVR 

The Harrier EV features a digital inside rearview mirror (IRVM) integrated with a DVR (digital video recorder). This unit displays a real-time feed from the rear camera, offering a clearer view of what's behind the vehicle. In addition, it continuously records footage as well.

9. Biggest Battery Pack 

The Harrier EV will be offered with two battery options: 65 kWh and 75 kWh. According to Tata, the 75 kWh versions in rear-wheel-drive form offer an ARAI-certified range of up to 627 km. In real-world conditions (C75 cycle), this is expected to deliver between 480 and 505 km on a single charge.

 

10. 1.5 C peak charge rate 

Thanks to its 1.5 C charging capability, the Harrier EV can charge rapidly. It supports up to 7 kW AC and 120 kW DC fast charging, allowing a 20 to 80 per cent top-up in under 25 minutes. With DC fast charging, Tata claims it can recover 250 km of range in just 15 minutes.

Golf GTI Edition 50 Is The Fastest Volkswagen At Nurburgring

Following Xiaomi's recent record for the fastest production EV at the Nurburgring, Volkswagen has achieved a milestone of its own at the famed German circuit. While not an outright Nurburgring record, the upcoming Golf GTI Edition 50 has earned the title of the fastest Volkswagen-badged vehicle to lap the track, completing the 20.8-kilometre Nordschleife in 07:46.13 minutes.

Volkswagen mentioned that the vehicle used for this lap was a near-production unit. Notably, it was equipped with an optional Performance package, which includes a specially tuned performance chassis and lightweight 19-inch Bridgestone Potenza Race semi-slick tyres paired with forged wheels. Volkswagen states that the performance package will be offered as an optional extra.  

 

Volkswagen has yet to confirm any powertrain upgrades for the Edition 50 or whether the Performance package affects output. For reference, the standard Golf GTI is powered by a 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged petrol engine producing 265 bhp and 370 Nm of torque, mated to a 7-speed DSG transmission sending power to the front wheels.

In setting this time, the front-wheel-drive GTI Edition 50 defeated the all-wheel-drive Golf R “20 Years” edition, which previously held the record among VW models with a time of 07:47.31 seconds, achieved in 2022. Benny Leuchter, who piloted the record-setting car, states, "Three years ago, I wouldn’t have thought that I could ever beat the lap time of the outstanding Golf R with a front-wheel drive Golf GTI as clearly as I have now.” 

  

Set to be introduced globally in 2026, the Golf GTI Edition 50 will commemorate the 50^th anniversary of the iconic hot hatch. This is akin to what the German automaker did to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of its Polo hatchback with the introduction of the Polo Edition 50 in its home market.

2026 BMW XM Unveiled: 644 Bhp V8 Trim Axed

BMW has pulled the wraps off the updated XM ahead of its public debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. As part of this model year update, the mid-spec 644 bhp V8 on the XM variant has been deleted and going forward, the high-output XM Label will be the sole V8 variant available alongside the entry-level XM 50e. Nothing significant has changed regarding exterior and interior, except for a few new colour schemes.

The range-topping XM Label continues to be the brand’s most powerful M model to date. It features a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 plug-in hybrid powertrain that punches out 737 bhp and 1,000 Nm of torque. This setup enables the SUV to sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in just 3.8 seconds, with an electronically limited top speed of 250 kmph, extendable to 290 kmph with the optional M Driver’s Package. The entry-level XM 50e, positioned below the Label variant, is powered by a 3.0-litre inline-six hybrid setup that makes 469 bhp and 700 Nm of torque.

Beyond the restructured lineup, BMW has introduced a few updates to the XM. Notably, the plug-in hybrid system now supports faster AC charging, with capacity increased from 7.4 kW to 11 kW. Though BMW hasn’t released specific charging time figures, the upgrade is expected to reduce recharging durations for the SUV’s 26-kWh battery. 

  

The new XM will come along with some additional exterior finishes, including the BMW Individual Frozen Tanzanite Blue metallic. Wheel options now include 23-inch units available in black, while 22-inch versions are offered as standard. The signature M kidney grille can also be specified in high-gloss black for a more aggressive look.

Lastly, the interior. BMW has expanded options with three new leather themes. These include Night Blue Merino leather with accents, Black Merino leather paired with Vintage Coffee Brown surfaces, and a Silverstone Merino leather combination with black interior trim. Seat cushions now match the chosen leather colour as standard across all BMW Individual interior packages. 

 

BMW offers the XM in India exclusively in a single 4.4-litre 644 bhp variant, priced at Rs 2.60 crore ex-showroom, before options kick in. Since this trim has been discontinued globally, we expect the new MY26 model to arrive here towards the end of this year.

New Mahindra Bolero Spied Testing Again; Provides Clearer Look At The SUV's Design

New images of the next-generation Mahindra Bolero have surfaced, providing the clearest look yet at the upcoming SUV’s design. Expected to debut as a near-production concept on August 15, 2025, the new Bolero is expected to replace the current Bolero Neo in Mahindra’s line-up, with the standard Bolero likely to soldier on.

 

Also read: New-Gen Mahindra Bolero Spied For First Time
 

The latest spy photos provide an up-close look at the SUV’s boxy proportions, along with revealing some of the finer design details. Up front, the fascia is very upright with a high-set grille flanked by round projector headlamps. A closed-off panel below the grille gives the fascia a layered look while additional openings lower down form a large central air vent. The bumper design is quite squared off as well and houses the turn signals close to the outer edges.

Other details visible include the clamshell design bonnet and pronounced flares around the wheel arches in a throwback to the standard Bolero. In profile, the new Bolero does look to share some stylistic similarities with the current Neo with its upright stance and the shape of the windowline. The body lines, however, appear to be a lot softer than the current Neo, and the rear haunches, as seen in previous images, are a lot more pronounced, giving the car a Defender-like look from the rear.

 

Also read: Mahindra SUVs Offered With Discounts Of Up To Rs 2.50 Lakh 
 

Overall, the new Bolero looks to retain the sub-four metre proportions of the current gen models with the space wheel continuing to feature on the tailgate. The rear overhang is also very shallow.

Details of the interior remain under wraps, though the new Bolero does get grab handles on the A- and B-pillars.

Speaking of the platform, the new Bolero is likely to be underpinned by an all-new platform. Mahindra has said that it will be unveiling an all-new platform on August 15, which could underpin the production-ready SUV when it arrives in the Indian market.

While there is no information on the power figures, expect it be in the ballpark of 50 bhp and 65 Nm. Gearbox duties will continue to be from a 6-speed gearbox but with revised gear ratios and updated internal components.
