BMW India has launched the 50 Jahre special edition versions of the 3 Series sedan. Limited to 50 units each, this version of the 330Li M-Sport will set you back Rs 64 lakh, while the M340i 50 Jahre is priced at Rs 76.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The “50 Jahre” edition, which translates to ‘50 years’ in German, is meant to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 3 Series model line. Buyers of this edition will also receive a 1:18 scale model of the iconic BMW 3.0 CSL.
The changes on the two limited-run models, over the standard ones, are mostly cosmetic, with both versions featuring laser-etched ‘1/50’ branding. The 330Li gets a carbon fibre interior trim and a head-up display with 3D augmented view, while the M340i comes with elements such as M performance door pins, special ‘50 Jahre’ emblems and hubcaps, in addition to black M badges.
On the feature front, these editions get the same list of features as the standard 3 Series range, which includes comfort features such as keyless entry and go, smartphone-based vehicle lock/unlock function, three-zone climate control, powered front seats, an electric sunroof, 6-colour ambient lighting, hands-free parking, 360-degree cameras and more.
On the powertrain front, the 330Li features a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine pushing out 254 bhp and 400 Nm of peak torque, while the M340i features a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six, making close to 374 bhp and 500 Nm. Both cars feature an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 has been spotted testing in India yet again. However, this time, rather curiously, the test mule featured alloy wheels instead of the spoked wheels that we’re usually used to seeing on the Himalayan. This has sparked reports about the upcoming motorcycle being offered in two iterations- one with spoked wheels and the other with alloy wheels, much like the KTM 390 Adventure, which is already on sale here.
Expected to be launched sometime in 2026, the Himalayan 750 will be the largest, most powerful version of the popular adventure touring motorcycle. The design, teased by Royal Enfield themselves, is expected to be quite different from the currently on sale Himalayan, with a larger headlamp covered by bodywork that extends towards the fuel tank alongside noticeably larger tank shrouds. The tail section, however, is quite similar, featuring brake lights integrated into the indicator units.
The Himalayan 750 will get a long-travel USD fork setup at the front and a monoshock at the rear. It isn’t confirmed yet, but chances are that the Himalayan 750 will also get adjustable suspension. For braking, the motorcycle will feature a twin brake setup up front and a single disc at the rear.
The Himalayan 750 will be powered by an updated version of the current 650 parallel-twin engine, which will likely have an increased bore, in addition to a slew of changes to the internals, resulting in a displacement of close to 750 cc. While there is no information on the power figures, expect it to be in the ballpark of 50 bhp and 65 Nm. The engine is expected to be mated to a six-speed gearbox.
We had a quick chat with Manik Nangia, President, Pro-Biking at Bajaj Auto, on the latest initiatives and developments that have been implemented through KTM India for motorcyclists riding to the mountains, especially those enrolling for the renowned Manali – Keylong – Jispa - Sarchu route, further expanding the brand’s service support network. Excerpts from our conversation:
Janak Sorap: The KTM Pro-XP riding program was introduced in September 2021, which is close to four years of curated rides on different environments – Trail, Tarmac, and Track. What are the learnings that KTM as a brand has gained with this program? Also, what are the main highlights that participants tend to speak about compared to the other ride programs if they have attended?
Manik Nangia: The Indian motorcycle segment in the overall motorcycle industry is growing twice the pace of the OEM industry. The growth is evident across the country, predominantly focussed around metro and large cities. But the fact is that with affluence and with the discerning customer choices, more and more customers are looking at what we call, the premium end of the spectrum. So, at Pro-Biking Bajaj Auto, you know that we also represent two brands, KTM and Triumph, we're growing twice or two and a half times that of the industry in this segment.
I think more and more people are learning to accept the fact that being out on the open road being closer to nature is a much better alternative to Netflixing at home. It is much required, I would say. Going back to how it was before. We have these riding community programs across the range. There are programs for absolute beginners, which we call the Adventure Academy. How to navigate different terrains with an capable motorcycle is art by itself. To get the best out of your motorcycle, you have to be coached by professionals. Then we have Adventure Trails for those who have graduated from Adventure Academies, where we have trails, where we take participants on specifically marked trails across various geographical regions. Some of them are day trails, some of them are overnighters because they require you to spend some time there, and then some like Leh-Ladakh tours which are eight to ten days because there's a whole lot of riding involved.
JS: KTM has introduced a new Service Van initiative for XP-Pro rides. Can you tell about the importance of this initiative. Is the Service Van initiative limited only to Ladakh tour and trail events or are there thoughts to having it for other challenging rides as well? And is this initiative backed by feedback from participants or is it something that has been in the pipeline all this while?
MN: It has come as feedback from of our customers, and let me tell you one thing, we take pride in ourselves at Bajaj Pro-Biking where we listen to our customers very carefully. I think our customers are so passionate that there’s loads of virtue in listening to what our customers are saying, because it's their brand as much as ours. So, one of the things that one of our riders who went to Ladakh said ‘We need to see you more during that arduous ride’, and we asked, ‘Why?’ ‘Because we don't know any KTM motorcycles breaking down.’ In fact, you could argue that this is the most capable adventure motorcycle in this country today in its range. And they said, ‘No, no… it may not break down, but there is still a lot of reassurance when we see the KTM brand on the van.’ And so, we said, ‘All right, here you go.’
So, on the mobile van, we have a fully operational service station, almost as capable, if not more, as any other service station with a crew of three, which includes a mechanic and a supervisor, etc. Equipped with all the requisite spares, chances are you'll never need it, but it definitely brings a smile to your face to see your favourite brand along the way. And just in case, if somebody were to need any assistance, we'll be there. So that is the story of the van.
JS: How many rides or tours are usually conducted in a year, given the different format of the events? Also, how much has the program contributed towards building the KTM community of bikers, enthusiasts, and explorers?
MN: So, between these Urban Escape rides, which are the morning rides that we carry out across the country, we do approximately 1,800 to 2,000 of these rides every year, and we have managed to touch between 20,000 to 25,000 customers. An interesting part about our programs that you don't have to be a customer to join these rides. You could be considering which motorcycle to buy, and we are absolutely happy to let you in. With us on a ride, one understands the world of motorcycling and how exciting can it be, are some of the differentiating factors of KTM XP-Pro riding program.
It is the experiences and the stories that your friends will tell you, which will compel you to go out for a ride. So, the very essential part of our presence is to be able to leave memorable experiences with our customers. Because in our view, that's the only thing that works, our job is to expand the culture of motorcycles, introduce new people to this craft, to this sport.
JS: With the KTM 390 Enduro R launched and SMC R on its way, is the ride curriculum expected to expand to accommodate the new category of riders? If yes, can you provide some insight on what is in store?
MN: Surely. There is a spectrum of motorsports that starts from soft off-roading, goes to proper adventure motorcycles, migrates to motocross kind of events with severe terrain, and then it goes to international sport level of off-roading. Not only do we have the products to secure each of these, but we also have academies and experiences that take you from beginner skill level to top skill level. Now, nobody can start from max level, but it is our endeavour to start and provide these experiences for motorcyclists to get to the top. Starting from level one, and to have products complementing each of these key levels, we can truly be across the spectrums of motorcycling as a sport.
JS: Are there any plans of having international rides into our neighbouring countries as an extension of KTM XP-Pro ride program?
MN: Nepal, we have already done. I think our customers imagination is far higher than ours. We will be happy to be led by our customers, if sufficient of them want to go to Bhutan, or to any other country. We'll be happy to even facilitate people from India to join some of these large academies and rides and trails that happen abroad. Our job is to, like I said, boost the culture of serious motorcycling. And we'll do anything that we needs to be done to connect our customers with more of such experiences.
As of now, there are no specific qualifiers program for getting into any of the international events, but that does not mean that we can't put something together in later this year. We have sent some people to the Adventure Rally, that KTM organises internationally. But what I'm saying that just because we haven't done it up until now, does not mean we won't do it. If sufficient number of our customers come to us, why not? We are very close-knit community. Our customers are so passionate about our motorcycles that sometimes I feel that they are more passionate than we are sitting here. So, I mean, I'm very happy to be led by what the customers tell.

BYD has officially opened its new testing circuit for its ‘new-energy vehicles’ (NEVs) in Zhengzhou, China. The all-terrain circuit features eight experience zones, aimed at ensuring potential buyers put vehicles across different tests to understand their capabilities. These include a race track, water-crossing pool, off-road area, and a sand dune. In addition to the above-mentioned facility in Zhengzhou, BYD has also spoken about its plans to open two more such circuits in Hefei and Shaoxing. Experiences at this facility for customers will start at a little over USD 80 (INR 7,000 approx.).
The sand dune section has been certified by Guinness World Records as the highest and largest dune climbing facility for car testing
Part of the track is the Zhengzhou indoor sand dune, which has been constructed with 6,200 tons of sand, meant to mimic the granular composition of the Alxa Desert. This section of the circuit also features a 29.6-meter vertical drop and a 28-degree slope. Remarkably, this site has also been certified by Guinness World Records as the highest and largest dune climbing facility for car testing.
The pool has been designed for the Yangwang U8, which has a water wading capacity of up to 1.4 metres
The circuit also features a 70-metre-long water crossing pool, which has solely been designed for the Yangwang U8, which has a water wading capacity of up to 1.4 metres. Additionally, the kick-plate section on the facility simulates icy road conditions with a wet, polished cement surface, so that visitors can experience emergency situations in a simulated environment.
Another feature of the circuit is the low friction circle which is 44-meter-diameter circular track, consisting of 30,000 smooth basalt bricks with a 3 mm water-covering surface. The company says that users will be able to achieve stable drifting with BYD's millisecond-level electronic control response and intelligent body control system in this zone.
The race track on the facility measures 1,758 metres and includes nine curves
The racetrack measures 1,758 metres and includes nine curves and a 550-metre back-straight section. The dynamic paddock on the facility has an area of 15,300-square-metres with and can be used for standard slalom, moose and automated parking tests. Central to the facility is also an off-road course with 27 off-road scenarios, that span from beginner to advanced levels.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor has launched a special edition version of the Camry sedan in the Indian market. Named the Sprint Edition, this iteration of the sedan is priced at Rs 48.50 lakh (ex-showroom), identical to the standard version. The changes on this variant include a range of dual-tone colour schemes, cosmetic add-ons, and a few feature additions. The model, however, remains identical on the mechanical front.
The Sprint Edition is offered in five dual-tone colour schemes, all of which pair the body colour with a matte black hood, roof and trunk. The colour options offered include Emotional Red, Platinum White Pearl, Cement Grey, Precious Metal, and Dark Blue Metallic. Other cosmetic enhancements include a rear spoiler and matte black alloy wheels. This variant also gets door warning lamps and ambient lighting, which are dealer-fitment-level options, at no extra charge.
The Camry Sprint Edition, much like the standard version, continues to get features such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital instrument cluster, a nine-speaker JBL audio setup, three-zone automatic climate control, a head-up display, an electric sunroof, and 10-way power-adjustable front seats for both the driver and passenger and more. Its safety kit includes Toyota's Safety Sense 3.0 suite (Level 2 ADAS features), nine airbags and 360-degree cameras, among other features.
Powering the Camry is a 2.5-litre petrol engine mated to an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 227 bhp and 220 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with an e-CVT gearbox. The sedan is offered with three driving modes: Eco, Sport, and Normal.

India's automobile sector, which has been struggling with mediocre sales in the last few quarters, is likely to get a major boost ahead of the upcoming festive season. The Union Government, in a major policy decision, is likely to revise the GST rates levied on automobiles to make them more affordable for buyers. A major reform has been proposed, especially for cars below 1,200 cc and two-wheelers below 350 cc. Current varied rates for cars across segments are also likely to be simplified.
Hybrid cars up to 1500 are also likely to see rate cuts
Under the new proposal, taxes on cars that run on 1200 cc or smaller engines are likely to be reduced from the current 28 per cent (plus cess) to 18 per cent. A similar reduction could also be seen in hybrid cars (up to 1500 cc). Most other passenger car segments are likely to be kept in the same category and could attract a flat tax of 40 per cent, and the current cess rates (up to 22 per cent) will determine if the prices will come down or rise. Similarly, two-wheelers that run on 350 cc engines or lower will also see a GST rate cut from the current 28 & to 18 per cent. This will help in bringing the cost down at a time of the year when Indians flock to showrooms in big numbers.
Motorcycles below 350 cc will become more affordable with the new GST rates
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said during his Independence Day speech last week, “This Diwali, I am going to make it a double Diwali for you. This Diwali, you, fellow countrymen, are going to get a very big gift. We started the review by setting up a high-power committee and also held discussions with the states”. A group of ministers set up by the GST Council are likely to meet later this week, after which their recommendations will be forwarded to the Council.

Hero MotoCorp has just announced that it will launch the all-new Glamour 125 on August 19. The company has teased the motorcycle ahead of its launch, showing us glimpses of what to expect. Having been spied before, the latest version of the motorcycle is expected to receive a significant overhaul over the outgoing model visually, receiving an array of new features in the process.
The teaser primarily shows the new digital instrument cluster in the motorcycle, which appears to be an all-new unit with similar graphics to the Karizma XMR. The cluster unit also has “set speed” written on it, which is likely to be a sign that the motorcycle will feature cruise control, which, if true, will make it the only motorcycle in the segment to get the feature. The presence of cruise control is further The teaser has also shown the motorcycle’s tail section, which gets a taillamp quite similar to the unit on the Karizma XMR, flanked by indicator units.
The Hero Glamour is expected to retain the 125 cc engine on the outgoing model. The current model has a peak power output of 10.68 bhp and 10.6 Nm of peak torque. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The motorcycle gets a telescopic fork at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear, which will also likely remain as it is.
Currently, Hero offers the Glamour 125 in two variants, Standard and Xtec, with prices ranging from Rs. 87,000 and Rs. 90,498 (both ex-showroom, Delhi), respectively. With this update, expect the Glamour to receive a notable price hike, courtesy of all the new features introduced.

Lexus has now fully unveiled the Sport Concept at the Quail, Monterey Car Week. The concept, which has been spotted testing multiple times, essentially gives us an early preview of what the company’s next-generation sports car will look like. Widely touted as a spiritual successor to the company’s iconic LFA sports car, the production-spec model is expected to debut next year and go on sale in markets across the world.
Visually, the Sport Concept is an edgy-looking sports car with many angular styling cues. The front end features vertical openings for the lighting signatures, flanked by V-shaped daytime-running lamps and a large opening up front. The sculpted bonnet has a pair of vents on both ends, situated close to the curvy fenders, which also incorporate vents on both ends, extruded into the bodywork. Towards the rear, the Sport concept features a rear glass incorporated in a blacked-out section, culminating in a flat deck, with a pair of raised buttresses on both ends.
Technical details about the Sport Concept are currently under wraps, although there have been several speculations. According to reports, the car will feature a twin-turbocharged V8 with some degree of electrification and a rear transaxle gearbox.

The Delhi High Court has granted an ex parte ad-interim injunction to Hero MotoCorp in its case against Urban Electric Mobility and its associates. Urban Electric Mobility, an EV startup currently manufactures and sells two models in India under the names ‘Destiny’ and ‘Destiny Plus’. This decision comes after Hero had earlier filed a suit against the startup claiming infringement of its ‘Destiny’ trademark. The order was passed on August 13 by Justice Tejas Karia.
Hero MotoCorp has told the court that it is the prior and registered proprietor of the marks ‘DESTINY’, ‘DESTINI’ and ‘DESTINI PRIME’ under Classes 12 and 37. During the case, it was argued that Urban Electric Mobility, by using the nametags for its products, tried to pass itself off as an associate of Hero, likely in an attempt to boost sales and reputation. The startup’s associates-Galaxy EV were also selling and promoting scooters with the same nametags via a commercial arrangement.
It was also pointed out that Urban Electric Mobility was using the mark ‘Hero’, which would potentially cause further confusion among consumers about the origins of the product. With the mentioned findings the court noted that Hero MotoCorp showed strong prima facie evidence, and that the continued usage of the aforementioned nametags by Urban Electric would cause damage to Hero’s reputation. The startup has now, accordingly, been restrained from using, selling, promoting, or manufacturing any products that bear the ‘Destiny’ nametag.

Dual-purpose motorcycles have gained a lot of popularity among Indian riders recently. Although the segment has seen rapid growth, enthusiasts have long been waiting for the options to expand in the Indian market. About eight months ago, Kawasaki answered that call by launching the street-legal KLX 230, but its steep ex-showroom price of Rs 3.30 lakh raised some eyebrows. Now, with the KLX 230 being locally manufactured, the price has dropped significantly by Rs 1.31 lakh, making it more accessible to buyers.
The made-in-India Kawasaki KLX 230 now comes with a lucrative Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom) price tag, putting it right in the ring with Hero MotoCorp’s popular Xpulse 210. Let’s see how the two stack up against each other on paper.

144.4/142.7 bhp / tonne
The Kawasaki KLX 230 and Hero Xpulse 210 cater to the same dual-purpose motorcycle segment. The KLX has a 233 cc air-cooled SOHC engine – a simpler, lower-cost design with one camshaft – while the Xpulse features a 210 cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine, which uses two camshafts for better performance and higher rpm. As for output, the Xpulse is ahead with 24.26 bhp vs the KLX’s 18.74 bhp, and it also makes more torque (20.7 Nm vs 19 Nm), though the KLX delivers it lower in the rev range, which can feel more responsive off-road.
However, the Xpulse fights back with a better power-to-weight ratio (up to 144.4 bhp/tonne vs 134.8 on the KLX), meaning it could feel quicker overall. In short, the KLX is simpler and lighter, while the Xpulse brings more power and tech to the mix. Both bikes have a 6-speed gearbox.
The price difference between the two is Rs 13,000 at the top-spec.

The Kawasaki KLX 230 is significantly lighter, weighing 31 kg less than the Hero Xpulse 210 (139 kg vs 168–170 kg). It also has a 50 mm taller seat height at 880 mm, compared to the Xpulse’s 830 mm, while the Xpulse remains more accessible for a wider range of riders. However, the suspension on the KLX compresses noticeably as soon as the rider gets on, which effectively reduces that seat height by a few mm.
When it comes to fuel capacity, the Xpulse offers more with a 13-litre tank, nearly double the KLX’s 7.6 litres. The wheelbase is longer on the Xpulse at 1446 mm versus the KLX’s 1370 mm. That said, the KLX provides 35 mm more ground clearance (255 mm vs 220 mm), which is a clear benefit for clearing obstacles.
Cycle parts are more or less similar on both machines.

Both the Kawasaki KLX 230 and the Hero Xpulse 210 come equipped with a telescopic fork up front and a monoshock at the rear, but the KLX offers slightly more suspension travel, 220 mm front and 223 mm rear, compared to 210 mm and 205 mm on the Xpulse. This gives the KLX a bit more cushion over rough terrain, though, as mentioned earlier, its suspension tends to sag noticeably when a rider gets on, which could slightly reduce the usable travel.
In terms of wheels, both bikes ride on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels. For braking, the KLX takes the lead with a slightly larger 290 mm front disc and 230 mm rear, compared to the Xpulse’s 276 mm front and 220 mm rear discs. However, do note that the KLX 230 is offered with single-channel ABS, while the Xpulse 210 not only comes equipped with dual-channel ABS but also gets 3 modes for it.
The KLX 230 is available in a single variant with an LCD unit, while the Xpulse 210 comes in both LCD and TFT dash options, depending on the variant.
Kawasaki KLX 230 vs Hero Xpulse 210: Features
The Kawasaki KLX 230 and Hero Xpulse 210 aren’t tech-heavy machines, but since many riders might end up using the two for daily commutes (especially the Xpulse) as well, both come with a few handy features. The KLX keeps things simple with a digital LCD showing essential readouts while also offering Bluetooth connectivity and app-based functions. It features Kawasaki’s ‘dual-purpose ABS’, tuned for both on-road and off-road use, and includes a switch to disable front ABS for off-road riding.
The Xpulse 210, which received a recent update, comes in two variants: base and top. The base gets a 4.2-inch LCD, while the top variant steps it up with a 4.2-inch TFT screen. Like the KLX, it also includes Bluetooth connectivity with full app-based functionality. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, the Xpulse features dual-channel ABS with three selectable ABS modes.
The Xpulse 210 gets a fuel tank nearly twice the size of the KLX 230.
Kawasaki KLX 230 vs Hero Xpulse 210: Price
Kawasaki KLX 230
Hero Xpulse 210
Prices (ex-showroom)
Rs 1.99 lakh
Rs 1.76 lakh – Rs 1.86 lakh
Lastly, coming to prices. The Hero Xpulse 210 is the more affordable option, with ex-showroom prices ranging from Rs 1.76 lakh to Rs 1.86 lakh, depending on the variant. The Kawasaki KLX 230, on the other hand, is priced at Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom), making it around Rs 13,000 to Rs 23,000 more expensive. The KLX 230 most recently received a massive price cut from Rs 3.30 lakh to Rs 1.99 lakh, thanks to Kawasaki, as it is now made in India. The price slash brings the KLX much closer to the Xpulse, making it a more attractive option.

Ola Electric is all set to unveil two new products today at its Sankalp event. These include a new electric motorcycle (Diamondhead) and a performance-oriented derivative of its S1 electric scooter, named the S1 Sport. The Diamondhead, a sports tourer, will be based on the concept model showcased two years ago. Both models will reportedly be powered by Ola’s own made-in-India 4680 cells.
The production-spec model is expected to closely mimic the design of the Diamondhead concept
Ola has dropped multiple teasers of the Diamondhead over the past few weeks, which prove that the model will be almost identical to the concept on the visual front. Styling cues on the motorcycle include the horizontal LED daytime-running lamp strip up front, the LED headlamp pod, and a sharp tail section with a horizontal taillamp. Expected to be Ola’s most powerful offering to date, the Diamondhead will likely be a more expensive offering than the Roadster, which is currently on sale with prices ranging from Rs 1.05 lakh to Rs 1.40 lakh (ex-showroom).
Ola has also teased the S1 Sport, although only the silhouette of the scooter is visible in the teaser videos. The videos reveal that the scooter will sport a number of changes over the standard model, which include revised body panels which are edgier in appearance. The scooter is also expected to feature cameras at the front and rear. Other changes over the standard model will likely include a more powerful electric motor setup and bigger batteries.
