To handle its operations locally, Bentley has established a new entity called Bentley India, a group company under SAVWIPL. This division will oversee sales, marketing, and after-sales services in the country.

India To Get Updated Tesla Model Y LR With Higher Range

The Tesla Model Y appears to have received a small update, with the Model Y Long Range (LR) listed on the India website now displaying a claimed WLTP range of up to 661 kilometres. The electric SUV, Tesla’s debut model for India, was launched earlier in the year with a claimed range of up to 622 km for the LR variant.

Pricing for the Model Y remains unchanged on the official website, with the standard range variant priced at Rs 59.89 lakh and the LR priced at Rs 67.89 lakh (ex-showroom).
 

The range update likely stems from a shift to a more energy-dense battery sourced from LG Energy Solutions. The Model Y SUV and Model 3 sedan have begun receiving the new, more energy-dense batteries in global markets. As the India-spec car is a CBU import, the updated variant is expected to become immediately available in the market.

The new battery packs are reported to now have a capacity of around 84 kWh, up from the outgoing Model Y LR’s 78 kWh battery, allowing for improved range. The new battery offers no other changes in the vehicle's performance, with the Model Y Long Range still hitting 100 kmph in a claimed 5.6 seconds.
 

Tesla finally arrived in India in July 2025, with much fanfare, with the company operating via two dealerships located in Mumbai and Delhi. That said, the carmaker is accepting orders for the SUV from across India, though for now priority deliveries are only for four cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Pune and Gurugram.
 

Deliveries of the Model Y in India commenced in September 2025.

First Ferrari ‘Elettrica’ EV To Feature Quad-Motor AWD With Over 1,000 BHP, 500KM+ Range

With its 2026 debut starting to approach, Ferrari provided the first look at the chassis and in-house developed electric drivetrain of its first-ever electric vehicle. Codenamed ‘Elettrica’, the first-ever Ferrari EV will feature a chassis and body shell composed of 75 per cent recycled aluminium and will also be the first Ferrari to feature a chassis with a separate rear subframe.

Ferrari says the Elettrica will have a compact 2,960 mm wheelbase along with short overhangs; chassis composed of over 70 per cent recycled aluminium.

 

Ferrari says that the Elettrica will be characterised by a compact 2960 mm wheelbase bracketed by short overhangs at the front and rear. The carmaker says that the design inspiration behind its first EV's chassis comes from the brand’s legacy of mid- and rear-engine Berlinettas with the front seats placed as close to the front axles as possible ‘to offer the purest dynamic feedback while also facilitating accessibility and maximising comfort’. While full details are still to be confirmed, the Elettrica is expected to feature a four-door design with spacious rear seats.

The Elettrica will be the first Ferrari to feature a separate rear subframe; it will also feature a new generation of Ferrari's 48V active suspension used on models like the Purosangue.

Moving to the chassis packaging, Ferrari says that the Elettrica’s chassis incorporates a 122 kWh battery pack into the floor pan, allowing for a centre of gravity 80 mm lower than a similar internal combustion model. Safety has also been considered, with the brand stating that the front e-axle assemblies and shock towers have been designed to dissipate impact forces in the event of a collision, thereby preventing damage to the central chassis structure. Furthermore, the battery cells also take a more central position within the battery module and gaps between the module and the chassis sills help enhance protection for side impacts. Furthermore, the brand says that the design and positioning of the front seats have been done to help accommodate the battery under the floor while ensuring ample space at the rear passengers.
 

Moving to the e-axles themselves, the assemblies comprise of a pair of electric motors each, at the front and rear, with the front units designed to decouple in specific drive modes for improved efficiency. Ferrari states that the front axle is capable of developing up to 308 bhp, with the decoupling system able to disengage power from the front electric motors at speeds exceeding 300 kmph. The rear motors are the main drive units, developing a combined 831 bhp of peak power and up to 8000 Nm of peak torque. The front axle is capable of delivering up to 3,500 Nm to the wheels.

Ferrari says that the in-house developed electric motors and inverters feature F1-derived technology; will give the car over 1,000 bhp of peak power.

 

Ferrari says that the e-axles are completely in-house developed and use technologies from its F1 powertrains that have been re-engineered for road use. In terms of outright performance, Ferrari says that the Electtrica will develop over 1000 bhp of peak output and will hit 100 kmph in 2.5 seconds and onto a top speed of 310 kmph. Range is claimed to be in excess of 530 km with the vehicle architecture set to support up to 350 kW charging.
 

Also read: Ferrari 296 Speciale, 296 Speciale Aperta Bring Added Power, Improved Dynamics
 

Ferrari has confirmed that the Elettrica’s three eManettino driving modes – Range, Tour and Performance. Range makes the EV a pure rear-wheel drive sports car with the front axle only engaging when required. The other two modes are permanently all-wheel drive. Also offered as Manettino modes that allow users to tune the performance based on road conditions with modes such as Ice, Dry, Wet, Sport and ESC off.

122 kWh (gross) battery pack incorporated completely under the floor pan; will give the car over 530 km of range.

 

The electric Ferrari will also benefit from a new generation of Ferrari’s 48V active suspension, allowing for independent damping control at each wheel. Four-wheel steering is also confirmed.

Another unique feature on the new Ferrari will be a Torque Engagement System, allowing users to tailor throttle response and regeneration intensity via the paddle shifters. The right paddle will allow users to row through five different power and torque delivery settings, with the left paddle doing the same for the levels of regeneration when decelerating.
 

Ferrari says that its first-ever EV will have its own unique sound profile that will not involve piping fake internal combustion engine exhaust notes into the cabin. The carmaker says that its EV will feature a sensor incorporated into the rear motor assembly that - similar to an electric guitar - will pick up the vibration frequencies, amplify them and channel them into the cabin during hard accelerations to add to the driving experience.
 

Despite all the details, Ferrari is yet to officially name its upcoming electric vehicle, which so far is being referred to as ‘Elettrica’ - its codename. The Italian exotic carmaker is expected to reveal the production name of its EV early next year, with the car itself debuting sometime in mid-2026.

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.

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.

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.
