Suzuki Vision E-Sky Electric Hatchback To Debut At Japan Mobility Show 2025

Suzuki has revealed its lineup of passenger cars, two-wheelers and other technology showcases for the upcoming Japan Mobility Show 2025. The star of Suzuki's passenger car exhibits at the show will be the Vision E-Sky, a concept that previews an upcoming electric hatchback from the Japanese carmaker. The production version of the Vision E-Sky will slot into Japan's minicar (or kei car) segment, with Suzuki confirming the E-Sky will measure less than 3.4 metres in length – a limit all kei cars are required to stay within, according to regulations.

Vision E-Sky appears to be an evolution of the Concept EWX showcased in 2023.

 

Back in 2023, Suzuki had showcased the Concept EWX, and the E-Sky appears to be an evolution of that show car, with elements that are more likely to make it to production. Unsurprisingly, the Vision E-Sky follows the established kei car template, relying on a tallboy layout to maximise interior space within a compact footprint. 

 

Suzuki has revealed the Vision E-Sky is 3,395 mm long, 1,475 mm wide and 1,625 mm tall, and confirmed the production version of the Vision E-Sky will go into production in FY2026 itself, hinting at how close to production this concept is.

 

Dual-tone interior all but confirms E-Sky is a close-to-production concept.

 

The E-Sky's interior, too, reveals this is more than just a flashy show car, with a fully-finished, dual-tone cabin housing twin digital displays, a three-spoke steering wheel with controls and a dash-mounted drive mode selector. The only thing from the concept that may not make it to production, perhaps, is the potted plant placed at the far end of the dashboard.

Tallboy layout will help liberate maximum interior space within a compact footprint.

 

While most technical specifications remain under wraps for now, Suzuki has revealed the Vision E-Sky will have a range of up to 270 kilometres, a marginally higher figure than the 230 km range announced for the Concept EWX. The production car is expected to have a battery ranging from 20-25 kWh.

 

Closer to home, Maruti Suzuki has announced it will launch four new electric vehicles by 2030, and has also confirmed it is developing strong hybrid powertrains for its more affordable cars. The company's first EV for India, the e Vitara, is already in mass production at the company's Gujarat facility, and is expected to be launched in the domestic market towards the end of 2025.

TVS Teases New Motorcycle: New 450 ADV Concept Or Something Else?

TVS Motor Company has teased a new motorcycle which is expected to be showcased at the 2025 EICMA show in Milan, Italy. The teaser image clearly shows the TVS logo as well as mentioning the date of unveil as November 4, 2025 in Milan. What is not clear at this stage is what will TVS be showcasing at the EICMA 2025 show. We look at some possibilities which TVS may be working on to showcase at the international motorcycle exhibition next month.

 

The BMW F 450 GS has only been showcased in concept form

 

The first possibility is a motorcycle which will be completely new, and likely to be based on the TVS and BMW Motorrad’s partnership. At last year’s EICMA show, BMW Motorrad showcased in concept form its next-generation GS model, made in India by TVS, the BMW 450 GS, and it’s quite likely that TVS will be working on its own version of the 450 cc parallel-twin engine adventure bike. Considering BMW Motorrad’s production version is yet to be released officially, it’s only logical that TVS will be showcasing its own concept version of an adventure-touring model based on the same platform.

The TVS RTX-300 will be launched on October 15, 2025

 

Also Read: TVS RTX-300 Launch Details Revealed

 

The second option is that TVS will likely showcase a new variant of its soon-to-be launched adventure touring motorcycle, the TVS Apache RTX 300. While the RTX 300 is going to be launched on October 15, 2025, the bike is expected to be more of a touring-oriented model than something with hardcore off-road ability. The 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel set-up will be road-based alloy wheels underscoring the RTX-300’s touring personality. 

 

Also Read: TVS RT-XD4 Engine Unveiled At MotoSoul 2024

 

The TVS RTX-300 will be based on the new 299 cc RT-XD4 engine

 

Is TVS already working on a slightly more off-road oriented model based on the RTX-300? Something with wire-spoke wheels with longer travel suspension and a bigger 21-inch front wheel?  This is also a possibility. But even if TVS is actually working on a different variant of the RTX-300, it is more likely to be unveiled at the MotoSoul festival in December 2025, rather than at EICMA 2025.

Nissan once again provided a glimpse at its much-anticipated compact SUV for India as well as confirming the name – Tekton. The Tekton will be Nissan’s second crack at the growing C-SUV segment and arriving around six years after the discontinuation of the Terrano. Nissan has said that the Tekton will make its India debut in Q2 2026.

The name reveal was accompanied by a host of teaser images of the actual model, with Nissan previously having shared sketches of the SUV. The Tekton will certainly have that boxy SUV appeal, with the teasers confirming details such as its squared-out proportions and prominent flared fenders and haunches.

Up front, the fascia is dominated by a large rectangular grille bracketed by L-shaped headlights with integrated daytime running lamps. A lightbar runs along the upper edge of the grille. The bumper also features an angular design with squared-off vent designs and grey plastic cladding, adding to the SUV’s overall look. The bonnet is heavily sculpted as well. Overall, the design shares aspects with the brand’s flagship Patrol SUV sold in global markets.

Down the sides, the unique design elements are the double C-shaped panel on the front door that Nissan says contains the motif inspired by the Himalayas. The window line features a sharp kink on the rear doors. As seen on some other cars in the Indian market, the rear door handles are mounted on the C-pillar, occupying the space of a traditional rear quarter window.

Moving to the rear, the Tekton will feature a connected tail lamp setup with C-shaped light guides housed in the main tail lamp unit. The rear bumper, too, features squared-out detailing and prominent use of cladding.
 

The latest images also provide a glimpse at the cabin, revealing the co-driver side of the dashboard, which reveals elements such as the use of soft touch materials, gloss black and body-painted trim.

Both C-SUVs will share the same platform and powertrains with top hats also expected to share similarities – similar to the Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq.
 

The Tekton is expected to be Nissan's third mass market model for the Indian market and second all-new product for 2026. The company had earlier this year confirmed that it would be launching its own derivative of the seven-seat Renault Triber in the market as well.

2025 Mahindra Thar: Old vs New; What’s Changed, What Could Have

Mahindra has updated the Thar in 2025 with not quite a facelift, but more than a mid-cycle refresh. At a base price of Rs 9.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the new Thar brings a few updated aesthetics, cabin enhancements, and much-needed features, while retaining much of the original’s mechanical DNA. Here’s a comparison between the old Thar and the 2025 version, highlighting what’s new, what’s carried over, and whether the changes are enough to sway buyers.

 

What Could Have Changed

Also Read: Updated Mahindra Thar Launched At Rs 9.99 lakh; Borrows Cabin And Features From Roxx

 

• Powertrains and Drivetrains: The 2025 Thar retains the same trio of engines: the 1.5-litre diesel, the 2.2-litre mHawk diesel, and the 2.0-litre turbo petrol. Transmission options (manual and automatic) stay unchanged. Off-road hardware, 4x4 capability, and mechanical layout remain identical. 
• Exterior Design: There’s no structural overhaul, which means the suspension, underpinnings, wheelbase, and key design elements are consistent. It could have gotten a newer face with tweaked headlamps/tail lamps, and a few tweaks to the body shell. 

 

What’s New: Design & Styling Tweaks

• Only noticeable change comes in the form of the body-coloured grille upfront, and a dual-tone front bumper — inspired by the Roxx 
• At the rear, the spare wheel mount features a rear-view camera. The rear windscreen now features a dedicated wiper and washer. The fuel-filler cap loses its keyed lock, replaced with an internal switch for convenience. 
• New paint options: Mahindra introduces two new colours: Tango Red and Battleship Grey. While the red was available before, the grey looks upmarket. 

 

Inside: Cabin Upgrades & Feature Additions

Also read: Mahindra Thar Roxx Now Gets Dolby Atmos In Top Variant
 

This is where the 2025 Thar sees its most noticeable upgrades:

• Roxx-inspired cabin: Soft-touch door pads, grab handles for easier ingress, and an armrest with storage and cupholders are new additions. 
• Rear passengers now get dedicated AC vents and a USB Type-C port.
• Infotainment & connectivity: The outgoing Thar’s monochrome or basic screen is replaced by a 10.25-inch touchscreen supporting smartphone integration. A 65W USB-C port and a wireless charging pad are added. However, the driver’s instrument cluster remains analogue.
• Ergonomics & convenience: Window switches, which were previously placed on the centre console, have now returned to their original location on the door pads, where they belong. The centre console also gets a repositioned handbrake lever as the space is taken up by two cup-holders. 

 

Variant Range & Pricing

Also Read: 2024 Mahindra Thar Roxx 4x4 Review: More Space, More Utility, More Features

 

Mahindra deploys a revised variant nomenclature: LXT and AXT. Prices span from Rs 9.99 lakh for the base AXT MT to Rs 16.99 lakh for the top-spec LXT AT in 4x4 AT guise. Though the base price may seem aggressive, top variants carry a slight price premium. This update focuses on what matters to modern users, but it was an apt time to get a proper facelift. Either way, this 2025 Thar remains a lifestyle vehicle which has a cult following but is reserved for a few.

2025 Mahindra Bolero And Bolero Neo Launched: Prices Start At Rs. 7.99 lakh

The Mahindra Bolero and the Bolero Neo have been launched in India with several updates for the festive season. Both SUVs come with some cosmetic changes and a handful of feature updates, which make them a bit more appealing to customers. While the 2025 Bolero is priced between Rs. 7.99 lakh and Rs. 9.69 lakh, the more modern sibling, Bolero Neo, is priced at Rs. 8.49 lakh to 9.99 lakh (all prices ex-showroom). Now the Mahindra Bolero is offered in four variants – B4, B6, B6(O), and B8. The Bolero Neo, on the other hand, is offered in five variants – N4, N8, N10, N10(O), and N11. 

 

2025 Mahindra Bolero

 

 

Starting with the classic Bolero, exterior changes made to the SUV are just cosmetic. This includes a refreshed grille, new foglamps and new 15-inch diamond cut alloy wheels. However, you still don’t get LED lighting; both the headlights as well as the fog foglamps are halogen units. However, Mahindra has introduced a new colour for the SUV called Stealth Black, which comes with dark grey inserts. 

 

 

As for the cabin, changes mainly include new seat covers with improved cushioning. Based on customer demand, the company has also added a small rectangular touchscreen infotainment display. Now the Bolero also comes with steering-mounted audio controls, a couple of Type A USB ports and a Type C USB port. 

 

Mahindra Bolero Neo

 

 

The Mahindra Bolero Neo, at the same time, gets a bunch of updates compared to the standard Bolero. The Neo also gets a new grille with new 3D chrome accents and dark metallic grey 16-inch alloy wheels. Mahindra is also offering two new colour options, Jeans Blue and Concrete Grey, in addition to the dual-tone black roof option. 

 

 

The Bolero Neo now also gets a new top-end N11 variant with added bells and whistles, including a new interior shade - Lunar Grey. All other variants below come with Mocha Brown interior. The top-spec model also gets leatherette seat covers with better cushioning for comfort, a new 9-inch touchscreen, a Type-C USB port for charging and a reverse camera. 

 

Engine & Transmission 

 

Mechanically, both the Mahindra Bolero and the Bolero Neo remain unchanged. The former features the same 1.5-litre three-cylinder diesel engine making 74 bhp and 210 Nm of peak torque. The Bolero Neo gets a more powerful 1.5-litre mHawk100 motor that makes 99 bhp and 260 Nm. Both models get a 5-speed manual transmission as standard. 

 

In fact, the Bolero Neo also gets a Multi-Terrain mode with the N10 and N10 (O), but the feature goes missing in the top-spec N11 trim. Both SUVs also claim to have received updates to the suspension tuning as part of the Rideflo pack for better dynamics.

Triumph Speed 400 and Speed T4 Prices Slashed Ahead of Festive Season

Triumph Motorcycles has announced a price reduction on its Speed 400 and Speed T4 models in India. The move comes in with the onset of the festive season and soon after the implementation of the new Goods and Services Tax (GST) on motorcycles above 350cc. While the brand had opted to absorb the price hike due to GST reform, the company has now introduced an additional price reduction to further boost the brand’s accessibility, sales and overall footfall during this festive season.

 

Also Read: Triumph's 400 Range, KTM's 390 Series Prices Unchanged Despite GST Hike On 350cc+ Motorcycles

The Speed 400 now carries a new price tag of Rs 2,33,754 (down from Rs 2,50,551), while the Speed T4 is available at Rs 1,92,539 (down from Rs 2,06,738). This price revision translates to a benefit of up to Rs 16,797 depending on the model selected. 

 

By choosing to absorb the additional tax burden, Triumph Motorcycles and Bajaj Auto Ltd. aims to ensure its prospective buyers about their customer-first approach, while committing to deliver value-focussed products without compromising on quality or performance. With this approach, it can be agreed that Triumph has managed to capture the attention of those who have been planning to purchase a motorcycle in this segment. Triumph’s 400 cc range since its introduction has steadily managed to report a positive growth in terms of sales. 

 

Also Read: Triumph Thruxton 400 vs Speed 400: What’s Different?

Commenting on the announcement, Manik Nangia, President, Probiking, Bajaj Auto Ltd., said, “The Speed 400 and Speed T4 have set benchmarks in performance, design, and accessibility. By absorbing the impact and introducing a price slash, Triumph and Bajaj Auto are reaffirming their focus on the Indian market and its customers, ensuring the Speed range continues to deliver unmatched value. We have also seen monthly volumes nearly double since FY23–24, with a strong surge in demand before the GST revision, which is a clear reflection of the trust and aspiration customers associate with Triumph. We are confident of sustaining this momentum going forward.”

TVS Apache RTX 300 Adventure Launch Details Revealed

TVS Motor Company’s highly anticipated adventure touring motorcycle, the Apache RTX 300, will be launched on October 15, 2025. The RTX 300 will be the brand’s first model to be based on the company’s RT-XD4 engine, which was unveiled at the 2024 MotoSoul, the annual motorcycling festival organised by TVS. We will be riding the new RTX 300 adventure-touring motorcycle after the launch, so look out for our first impressions, coming soon.

 

Also Read: TVS RTX-D4 engine unveiled at 2024 MotoSoul

The TVS Apache RTX 300 was briefly seen at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo, and revealed its touring-oriented design language. It has not been officially unveiled yet.

 

The RT-XD4 engine is the latest from TVS, with a 299 cc displacement, with liquid-cooling, a four-valve head and dual overhead cams. The engine is tuned to put out 34.5 bhp at 9000 rpm and 28.5 Nm of peak torque at 7000 rpm and is paired with a six-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch. Ride-by-wire throttle system should open up other features like multiple ride modes as well as traction control. Switchable ABS is expected, as well as a full-colour TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation and full-LED lighting.  

 

The RTX-D4 engine is a 299 cc, liquid-cooled, 4-valve, DOHC unit which makes 34.5 bhp and 28.5 Nm

 

The RTX 300 will be a touring-focussed adventure bike, rather than hardcore off-road ability, and the chassis and cycle parts reflect that personality. Patent images reveal quite a few details, from the trellis frame with a bolt-on rear subframe, along with an upside-down fork and rear monoshock. Underscoring the RTX 300’s long-distance touring personality is the road biased alloy wheels, with a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear combination. In terms of design, the TVS RTX 300’s patent images reveal a half-fairing with a tall windscreen, muscular fuel tank and a sleek tail section with a rear luggage rack. 

 

TVS Motor Company’s new adventure bike is likely to rival models like the KTM 250 Adventure, Yezdi Adventure and Royal Enfield Scram 440. We expect prices of the TVS Apache RTX 300 to be around Rs. 2,50,000 (Ex-showroom).
