Diesel Accounts For Over 40 Per Cent Of Sales

 

In the powertrain split, Hyundai revealed that diesel still had a role to play in the segment. Around 44 per cent of all Cretas sold in CY2025 were diesel models, with the remaining 56 per cent accounting for the sales of the petrol and electric variants. Hyundai retails the Creta with two petrol engine options – a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated and a 1.5-litre turbocharged unit – and a sole 1.5-litre CRDI diesel engine option. All three units are offered with manual and automatic gearbox options. The EV, meanwhile, is offered with two battery options – 42 kWh and 51.4 kWh – offering a claimed range of up to 510 km on a full charge.

First Time Buyers Rising; Sunroof Equipped Models Account For Over 70 Per Cent of Sales

Hyundai also reported a growth in first-time buyers for the Creta in 2025. About 32 per cent of customers were first-time buyers – up from 13 per cent in 2020. This follows the recent trend in the Indian car market, with slowing or stagnating sales being reported by brands in the hatchback segments, while seeing growing demand for SUVs.

Another statistic that Hyundai shared was that sunroof-equipped models accounted for over 70 per cent of sales. While an impressive number, the Creta in its most recent model year spec offers the option for a sunroof on 9 of the 13 variants (including Creta N Line) on sale for the internal combustion SUV and 8 of the 9 variants of the EV. This puts it to just 3 variants out of 22 lacking a sunroof.

JSW MG Motor India Extends Assured Buyback Plan To 5 Years

JSW MG Motor India has announced a new buyback programme aimed at easing long-term ownership for its electric vehicle customers and addressing resale concerns among electric vehicle buyers. Under this initiative, MG is extending assured buyback coverage for its EVs from the existing three-year period to up to five years, which will offer customers a guaranteed resale value at the end of the selected tenure.

With this programme, MG EV owners can opt for an assured resale value after three, four, or five years of ownership, depending on the plan chosen. This follows MG’s earlier buyback offering, which assured up to 60 per cent of the vehicle’s value after three years. Notably, the scheme is independent of any finance or loan arrangement, allowing customers to opt in regardless of how the vehicle was purchased. 

 

Speaking about this buyback scheme, Anurag Mehrotra, Managing Director, JSW MG Motor India, said, “As a customer-centric brand, MG has always introduced initiatives like B-a-a-S (Battery-as-a-service), lifetime warranty on EV batteries that make EV ownership a delightful mobility experience. Resale value has been a key consideration for many customers who are considering buying an EV."

He further added, "With our industry-first MG Value Promise Program (Assured Buyback), facilitated by Lockton India Insurance Broking and Advisory Ltd in partnership with Zuno General Insurance, we want to give MG EV owners complete peace of mind as we now offer an Assured resale value where a customer has the option to choose the tenure from 3 to 5 years.

Ducati XDiavel V4 Launched In India At Rs 30.89 Lakh

Ducati has launched the XDiavel V4 in India, priced from Rs 30.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Positioned as the touring-friendly sibling of the Diavel V4, the XDiavel brings along with it a host of cruiser-style tweaks while retaining much of the hardware and performance of its sportier counterpart. One of the biggest changes this time around is the switch to a chain drive setup, replacing the belt drive used on the outgoing model.

 

Also Read: New Limited-Run Ducati Panigale V4 Marquez 2025 World Champion Replica Revealed

In terms of design, the XDiavel V4 closely mirrors the Diavel V4, though there are subtle differences. These include toned-down front air inlets, newly styled alloy wheels, and a slightly reworked tail section. Ducati has also revised the ergonomics, with a wider and more cushioned seat, a swept-back handlebar, and forward-set footpegs. The result is a more laid-back riding position. The seat height sits at 770 mm, which is 20 mm lower than the Diavel V4, while it tips the scale at 229 kg.

 

Akin to the Diavel V4, Power comes from the same 1,158 cc Granturismo V4 engine. It punches out 166 bhp at 10,750 rpm and 126 Nm of torque at 7,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox and comes standard with a bi-directional quickshifter.

On the feature front, the XDiavel V4 gets the same 6.9-inch TFT display seen on the Diavel, along with a comprehensive electronics package. This includes cornering ABS, traction control, wheelie control, multiple ride and power modes, launch control, and cruise control.

 

Suspension duties are handled by a fully adjustable 50 mm upside-down fork up front and a fully adjustable rear monoshock.  Stopping power comes from twin 330 mm discs at the front with Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers, while the rear uses a 265 mm disc with a Brembo two-piston caliper, supported by cornering ABS.

The Ducati XDiavel V4 is available in two colour options: Red and Black, priced at Rs 30.89 lakh and Rs 31.20 lakh, ex-showroom, respectively. Compared to the standard Diavel V4, the XDiavel commands a premium of Rs 1.80 lakh.

Honda Patents Steering Assist Tech For Motorcycles

Honda has filed a patent for a motorcycle turn control device that aims to improve rider safety by actively assisting steering inputs when another vehicle approaches from a blind spot. The system is designed specifically around the dynamics of motorcycles, where even small steering corrections can significantly affect stability. Unlike existing rider-assist systems that only warn the rider, Honda’s concept goes a step further by gently intervening in steering to help avoid a potential collision.

 

Also Read: Honda Motorcycles Unveils New Branding For Flagship, Electric Range

The system essentially uses a camera that continuously monitors the area around the motorcycle. Using this visual data, a blind spot recognition unit identifies vehicles approaching from areas not easily visible to the rider, such as adjacent lanes during a lane change. Once a vehicle is detected in a blind spot, the system evaluates the rider’s current actions before deciding whether and how to intervene.

 

The steering intervention is managed by a steering control unit, which adjusts its response based on the motorcycle’s riding state. Honda’s patent specifically mentions three rider inputs that influence the system’s behaviour: lane change, acceleration, and deceleration.

 

Depending on whether the rider is accelerating, braking, or actively steering, the system adjusts the level of assistance accordingly. For example, a gentle corrective input may be applied if the rider begins steering into a lane where another vehicle is approaching, while remaining less intrusive if the rider is already braking or stabilising the bike.

 

Also Read: EICMA 2025: Honda CB1000GT Sport Tourer Revealed

The second illustration outlines the system architecture and how different sensors feed information into the steering control logic. In simple terms, it demonstrates how Honda integrates rider inputs and environmental data to determine the level of steering assistance.

 

The system consists of:

 

• A camera (imaging device) that captures the surroundings

 

• A steering torque sensor, which measures how much force the rider is applying to the handlebars

 

• A throttle opening sensor, which detects acceleration input

 

• A brake pressure sensor, which monitors braking force

 

All this data is processed by an event detection unit, which determines what the rider is trying to do, such as changing lanes, accelerating, or slowing down. Simultaneously, a blind spot angle recognition unit analyses camera data to identify vehicles approaching from unsafe angles.

Once these inputs are assessed, the information is sent to the steering control unit, which decides whether steering assistance is needed. If required, a rotation actuator subtly adjusts the steering direction to help the motorcycle avoid the approaching vehicle, while still allowing the rider to remain in control.

 

To put things in perspective, Honda isn’t the only manufacturer exploring this space. Brands like BMW, Ducati, and others are already moving in a similar direction with radar-based safety systems. Whether such technology makes it to production in its current form remains to be seen.

KTM 390 Adventure X, 390 Enduro R Recalled Over Side Stand Issue

Following a recall earlier this month to address an engine stall issue, KTM has announced another global recall involving select models from its 390 range. The latest recall is related to an issue with the side stand assembly and affects the KTM 390 Adventure X and 390 Enduro R sold in India, as well as the 390 Adventure R and 390 SMC R currently offered in overseas markets.

According to KTM, quality inspections have found that engine vibrations could, in certain cases, cause the side stand spring to break. The issue is limited to motorcycles equipped with forged side stands and does not affect other side stand designs. KTM states that only a small number of cases have been reported so far, and it is taking a precautionary approach to eliminate any potential safety risk.

 

As part of the recall, owners of affected motorcycles are requested to visit an authorised service centre to have the side stand spring replaced and a rubber protective component fitted. To help riders safely reach the dealership before the fix is carried out, KTM has also recommended temporarily securing the side stand using a rubber band or a similar solution.

Owners of affected motorcycles will be notified directly by KTM and are advised to contact their nearest authorised dealership. All recall-related repairs will be carried out free of charge through KTM’s authorised network.

BMW Motorrad India has announced a price increase of up to 6 per cent across its range of two-wheelers effective January 1, 2026.
