Tata Harrier, Safari Petrol Variant Details Revealed: Get New Range Topping Ultra Trim

After a long wait, Tata Motors has finally unveiled the petrol-powered Harrier and Safari. The two internal combustion SUVs have been on sale in India since 2019 and 2021, respectively, and so far have only been offered with a diesel powerplant under the hood paired with manual and automatic gearbox options. Now buyers will get the option to opt for a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol mill borrowed from the new Sierra, albeit in a different state of tune.

Engine Details

 

Tata’s new 1.5-litre gasoline direct injection turbo-petrol unit was originally unveiled at the Auto Expo 2023 before being launched with the reborn Sierra. However, unlike the Sierra, where it develops 158 bhp and 255 Nm, the unit in the Harrier and Safari has been retuned to develop a stronger 168 bhp and 280 Nm. Also, unlike the Sierra T-GDI (which is presently available only with an automatic), buyers can pick between a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic.
 

Petrol SUVs get new range-topping Ultra trims & Red Dark Editions

 

New Variant, Features & Colours

 

In terms of design, there is no real physical differentiation between the petrol SUVs and their diesel counterparts. The petrol SUVs debut a new Nitro Red colour to the Harrier and Safari range, as well as a new petrol-exclusive top variants - Fearless Ultra on the Harrier and Accomplished Ultra (in 6-seater & 7-seater configurations) on the Safari. The new top variants also form the basis for new Red Dark Editions, offering a stealthier exterior finish, rounded out by red accents and a dual-tone black and red interior.

BMW Motorrad India To Hike Prices By Up To 6 Per Cent From 2026

BMW Motorrad India has announced a price increase of up to 6 per cent across its range of two-wheelers effective January 1, 2026. The company has said that the decision to hike prices is due to pressure from forex due to the Indian rupee’s sharp depreciation against the US dollar and Euro, as well as rising input costs. The price hike will affect event made-in-India models like the BMW G 310 RR and the BMW CE 02, the company has said in a statement.

The planned price hike measure will ensure necessary profitability and continued value generation for the company as well as our dealer partners.”

The new Ducati XDiavel V4 was launched in global markets earlier this year and sports a few tweaks in the ergonomics and riding posture compared to the standard Diavel V4, which, in itself, is a head-turner in every way, complemented by the crackling performance of the Granturismo V4 engine. The XDiavel V4 will be launched in two colour options – Burning Red and Black Lava.

The Ducati XDiavel V4 is powered by the same 1,158 cc Granturismo V4 engine updated for Euro 5+ and been tuned to produce 166 bhp at 10,750 rpm and 126 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm, similar figures shared with the standard Diavel V4. A six-speed gearbox with a standard bi-directional quickshifter will be offered, and suspension units include a 50 mm fully-adjustable USD fork, and a fully-adjustable rear monoshock and an aluminium single-sided swingarm.

 

Braking duties are handled by 330 mm twin semi-floating discs up front with radially mounted Brembo Stylema monobloc four-piston calipers and a single 265 mm disc with Brembo two-piston floating caliper at the rear wheel, with cornering ABS function. Other safety equipment includes four riding modes, three power modes, traction control, wheelie control, power launch and cruise control. 

 

Once launched, the 2025 Ducati XDiavel V4 is expected to be priced at around Rs. 30 lakh (Ex-showroom) and will join Ducati’s V4 powered line-up as one of the most luxurious and feature-packed motorcycles.

Nissan Gravite MPV (Renault Triber Derivative) To Be Launched Early In 2026

It has taken a while, but Nissan's derivative based on the popular Renault Triber will finally arrive early in 2026. It's named Nissan Gravite, and along with releasing a few teaser images, the Japanese carmaker has confirmed it will be unveiled in full in January, before going on sale across the country by March 2026. The Gravite, which will be based on the same CMF-A+ architecture as its Renault cousin, will be manufactured at Renault's facility in Oragadam, Tamil Nadu.

Nissan Gravite MPV: What do the teaser images reveal?

 

To no one's surprise, the Nissan Gravite bears more than a passing resemblance to the Triber. The teaser images confirm it has the same clamshell bonnet and LED tail-lights seen on the Triber facelift, but with restyled headlights, a honeycomb black grille, C-shaped inserts on the redesigned front and rear bumpers. In profile, the Gravite is expected to mirror the silhouette of the Triber, but is likely to have different alloy wheels on the top-spec variant.

 

 

Nissan Gravite MPV: What will the powertrain options be?

 

Like the Triber, the Nissan Gravite, too, is expected to be offered with a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine developing a peak 71 bhp and 96 Nm of torque. Transmission options are likely to include a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed automated manual transmission (AMT). Nissan is expected to offer a dealer-level CNG kit as an option with the Gravite.

Nissan Gravite MPV: What are the expected prices?

 

The Triber is already priced quite competitively, and it's almost a given the Nissan 7-seat MPV will also adopt similarly aggressive pricing. We expect to see the entry Gravite priced at around Rs 6 lakh, with the range likely to top out at around Rs 9 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).

Tata Sierra Smart Plus Revealed In Official Pictures: What Do You Get For Rs 11.49 Lakh?

The reborn Tata Sierra has certainly turned heads in recent months. Launched in India last month, Tata only recently opened bookings for its SUV, walking away with 70,000-plus confirmed orders ahead of deliveries commencing in January. But while everyone will have their eyes on the top model with all its bells and whistles, what would someone get if they went for the base variant? Well, let’s take a look.

 

Also read: Top-Spec Tata Sierra Accomplished, Accomplished+ Prices Revealed

 

On the outside, buyers will be lacking in exterior colour choice. Buyers have three exterior finishes to pick from - Pristine White, Pure Grey & Coorg Cloud. Unlike in some other SUVs, the base model does get the full-width light bar along the upper edge of the blacked-out grille and the slim LED headlamps. Around the sides, the base model gets black finished steel wheels, though you still get the flush sitting door handles, and the C-pillar has been blacked out in a bid to harken back to the original Sierra’s large rear side windows.

At the rear, here too, you get the full LED taillamp set-up replete with a lightbar.

It's on the inside where the base Sierra’s flash value drops. There’s no infotainment system; a basic LED readout-style digital instrument cluster and the AC controls, shared with other Tata models, only offer basic adjustments for fan speed, heating and cooling. 

You get grey fabric seat upholstery with both front and rear outer passengers getting adjustable headrests - no headrest for the centre passenger. Comfort touches for the rear include sunblinds on the windows and rear AC vents on the centre floor console, though curiously, the Sierra in base trim lacks seatback pockets.

A nice touch is height adjustment for the seat belts for the front passengers and a three-point seat belt for the rear centre passenger.

As for the features not visible in the images, the Sierra gets all-wheel disc brakes, the headlamps get a follow-me-home function, there’s also central locking with a folding key, electronic parking brake, 45W Type C USB charge port up front, tilt & telescopic adjustment for the steering, 6 airbags, ESP, ABS, traction control and rear parking sensors.
 

On the engine front, the base variant of the Sierra is available with the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol and 1.5-litre turbo-diesel units, both paired with manual gearboxes only. The Sierra Smart is priced at Rs 11.49 lakh for the petrol and Rs 12.99 lakh for the diesel model.

Updated Bajaj Pulsar 220F Does Not Get Dual-Channel ABS; Company Issues Clarification

Over the past few days, reports suggesting the updated Bajaj Pulsar 220F will receive dual-channel ABS began doing the rounds online, following the appearance of spy images. However, shortly after listing the motorcycle on its official website, Bajaj Auto has clarified the latest update to the Pulsar 220F does not include dual-channel ABS, and the motorcycle will continue to feature single-channel ABS.

Bajaj Pulsar 220F: What’s New?

The year-end update for the Pulsar 220F is limited to cosmetic revisions. The Pulsar 220F now comes with refreshed graphics and two new colour options, black with copper accents and green paired with orange, both featuring black highlights. The existing red-and-black and blue-and-black colour schemes are also on the palette. In addition, the updated model also gets LED turn indicator.

 

Bajaj Pulsar 220F: Engine

 

Beyond the aforementioned updates, nothing else has changed. Power comes from the 220cc, air- and oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 20.6 bhp and 18.55 Nm of torque. The Pulsar 220F also carries over the Bluetooth-enabled LCD instrument cluster seen on other Pulsar models.

Bajaj Pulsar 220F: Price

 

Priced at Rs 1,28,490, the updated version is roughly Rs 1,200 more expensive than the previous model, which was priced at Rs 1,27,269 (ex-showroom).

 

One of the longest-running models in the Pulsar lineup, the 220F has consistently been among Bajaj’s better-selling offerings. It has garnered considerable attention from riders across all age brackets since its launch in 2007. Bajaj Auto had discontinued the model in 2021 following the launch of the 250 series, but brought the 220F back in 2023.

Triumph Tracker 400 Unveiled in UK

Triumph Motorcycles has expanded its 400cc line-up in the UK with the unveiling of the new Tracker 400, a retro-styled roadster inspired by classic flat-track motorcycles. While it is based on the Speed 400 platform, the Tracker 400 adopts the sportier engine tune from the Thruxton 400, positioning it as a more engaging and performance-oriented offering within Triumph’s small-capacity range.

Visually, the Tracker 400 gets a clean, minimalist design that stays true to flat-track aesthetics. Key highlights include a flat and elongated seat, a slim fuel tank with pronounced knee recesses, and a short, stubby tail section that gives the motorcycle a purposeful stance. Details such as the round LED headlamp, tracker-style side panels, seat cowl, and sparse bodywork further reinforce its old-school appeal.

 

Also Read: Triumph Scrambler 400 X Offered With Free Accessories Worth Rs 13,300

The cycle parts are largely carried over from the Speed 400. The Tracker 400 uses a hybrid perimeter steel frame, with suspension duties handled by upside-down front forks and a gas-charged rear monoshock. Braking is managed by disc brakes at both ends, supported by dual-channel ABS. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch alloy wheels shod with road-focused, knobby-style tyres that complement its tracker-inspired look. On the feature front, the Tracker 400 is well equipped, offering full-LED lighting, a semi-digital instrument cluster, ride-by-wire throttle, traction control, and dual-channel ABS as standard.

At its heart is the familiar 398.15cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, shared with the Speed 400 but tuned to Thruxton 400 specifications. In this form, it delivers around 41.5bhp at 9,000rpm and 37.5Nm of torque at 7,500rpm offering a strong mid-range punch. The motor is paired with a six-speed gearbox and a slip-and-assist clutch.

 

Also Read: Triumph to Unveil 29 New Motorcycles in Next 6 Months

Despite being manufactured in India, the chances of the Triumph Tracker 400 getting launched in India are currently low, mainly due to the recent GST-related price hikes. However, with Bajaj reportedly working on a new 350cc engine to align with revised GST regulations, a 350cc-engined version of the bike could be considered for India launch.
