बोलेरो नियो का नाम ग्रामीण इलाकों में लोकप्रिय एसयूवी बोलेरो से बहुत कुछ मिलता-जुलता है। इसमें भी वही मजबूत फ्रेम, रियर-व्हील ड्राइव और डीजल इंजन है। लेकिन इसमें नाम के अलावा भी बहुत कुछ है। आइए जानें कि यह आपके ध्यान के लायक क्यों है।
कठिन
बोलेरो ब्रांड की विरासत ऐसी है कि भारतीय बाजार में कुछ ही अन्य एसयूवी इसकी बराबरी कर सकती हैं। 20 से अधिक वर्षों से, भारतीय खरीदारों ने बोलेरो पर भरोसा किया है कि यह कठिन जलवायु और ड्राइविंग परिस्थितियों को संभाल सकता है। यह विश्वसनीयता ही है जिसकी वजह से हमारे बीच सबसे बहादुर लोग, जैसे कि वन सेवा, अग्निशमन और अर्धसैनिक विंग में काम करने वाले लोग, अपने कर्तव्यों का पालन करने के लिए इसका इस्तेमाल करते हैं। बोलेरो नियो इन खूबियों के आधार पर, यह एक असली एसयूवी की तरह मजबूत बॉडी-ऑन-फ्रेम निर्माण के साथ समान मजबूती प्रदान करता है। लेकिन यह आधुनिक प्रदर्शन आवश्यकताओं को पूरा करने के लिए अधिक शक्तिशाली और टॉर्की डीजल इंजन के साथ आगे बढ़ता है।
दोनों बोलेरो एसयूवी में 1.5 लीटर टर्बो डीजल इंजन है, लेकिन बोलेरो नियो का इंजन 100PS की पावर और 260Nm का टॉर्क देता है क्योंकि इसमें दमदार mHAWK इंजन है। यह ज़्यादा पावर और टॉर्क देता है लेकिन बोलेरो की तरह ही इसका निर्माण सरल और मज़बूत है। यह एक आजमाया हुआ और भरोसेमंद पावरट्रेन है, जो कई सालों से चलन में है।
महिंद्रा अपने शक्तिशाली इंजन के लिए जाने जाते हैं, और बी2-सेगमेंट एसयूवी जो बोलेरो नियो के टॉर्क आउटपुट को पार करती है, वह एक और महिंद्रा वाहन है- XUV3XO। यह मजबूत टॉर्क, एक अद्वितीय रियर-व्हील ड्राइवट्रेन और एक मैकेनिकली-लॉकिंग डिफरेंशियल के साथ मिलकर बोलेरो नियो को उन इलाकों से निपटने में मदद करता है, जो आमतौर पर 4WD एसयूवी के लिए आरक्षित होते हैं। लंबे साइडवॉल टायर और उच्च ग्राउंड क्लीयरेंस वाले 15-इंच के पहिये भी बोलेरो नियो को उबड़-खाबड़ इलाकों में जाने में मदद करते हैं क्योंकि टायर बड़े अलॉय व्हील्स की तुलना में झटके को बेहतर तरीके से अवशोषित करते हैं।
बोलेरो नियो की मजबूती इसके मजबूत डिजाइन में दिखाई देती है। इसका ऊंचा फ्रंट एंड इसे आगे की कारों के रियर-व्यू मिरर में एक बोल्ड लुक देता है, और टैंक जैसा साइड प्रोफाइल इस आक्रामक फ्रंट को पूरा करता है। इसका एक प्रभावशाली और मजबूत रुख है जो लोगों को बोलेरो नियो के लिए रास्ता बनाने पर मजबूर करता है। स्टाइलिश साइड-स्विंगिंग 5-डोर लेआउट, सिग्नेचर रियर डोर-माउंटेड स्पेयर व्हील के साथ, इसकी एसयूवी अपील को बढ़ाता है, जो इसे इस प्राइस रेंज में सबसे अलग बनाता है।
भरोसेमंद
बोलेरो ब्रांड की दिग्गज कंपनी से विश्वसनीयता की बहुत उम्मीदें हैं और बोलेरो नियो निश्चित रूप से उन पर खरा उतरता है। भारत की कठिन परिस्थितियों में दूसरों से बेहतर प्रदर्शन करने के लिए डीजल इंजन की इंजीनियरिंग और उसे बेहतर बनाने में महिंद्रा के दशकों का अनुभव महिंद्रा की 80 साल की विरासत जितना ही शानदार है। कई महिंद्रा मालिक अपनी एसयूवी और विंटेज 4×4 को दशकों तक रखते हैं, जिससे उनकी विश्वसनीयता और टिकाऊपन साबित होता है। बोलेरो नियो में विश्वसनीयता के वे सभी गुण हैं जिनकी हम महिंद्रा और बोलेरो से उम्मीद करते हैं।
इसके अलावा, बोलेरो नियो की विश्वसनीयता इस बात से स्पष्ट है कि हमारे वर्दीधारी पुरुष और महिलाएं अपने कर्तव्यों के लिए इस पर भरोसा करते हैं। सीमा सुरक्षा बल (बीएसएफ), कई राज्य पुलिस विभाग और अग्निशमन कर्मियों ने कठोर और खतरनाक वातावरण में बोलेरो नियो को अपने पसंदीदा साथी के रूप में चुना है। वन विभाग, सिंचाई और लोक निर्माण जैसे कई सरकारी निकाय भी बोलेरो नियो का उपयोग करते हैं, जिससे वे सीमित बैकअप के साथ दूरदराज के स्थानों में मांग वाले कार्यों को पूरा करने में सक्षम होते हैं।
सुविधा संपन्न
अगर आपको लगता है कि बोलेरो मज़बूत है लेकिन रोज़ाना इस्तेमाल के लिए बहुत बुनियादी है, तो बोलेरो नियो आपकी सोच बदल देगा। शहरी एसयूवी खरीदारों की ज़रूरतों को पूरा करने के लिए बोलेरो नियो में कुछ खासियतें दी गई हैं:
टच स्क्रीन
स्टीयरिंग पर लगे नियंत्रण
क्रूज नियंत्रण
ऊंचाई-समायोज्य ड्राइवर सीट
रियर डीफॉगर
रियर वॉशर वाइपर
रियर सेंटर आर्मरेस्ट
व्यक्तिगत फ्रंट आर्मरेस्ट
टिल्ट स्टीयरिंग
एलईडी डीआरएल
पावर मिरर
7 सीटों का विकल्प
उच्च उपयोगिता
इन खूबियों के अलावा, बोलेरो नियो एक एसयूवी के उपयोगिता पहलू में भी बेहतरीन है, जो इस कीमत रेंज में कई कारों से बेहतर प्रदर्शन करती है। इसकी फ्रंट सीट आर्मरेस्ट कई महंगी कारों के विपरीत चौड़ी और वास्तव में आरामदायक है। वेंटिलेशन के बिना लेदर अपहोल्स्ट्री, कठोर भारतीय जलवायु में अधिकांश खरीदारों के लिए व्यावहारिक नहीं है। इसके अतिरिक्त, चमड़े की सीटों की अनुपस्थिति महत्वपूर्ण है। अधिकांश कार निर्माता, यहां तक कि 50.0 लाख रुपये तक की कीमत वाली कारें भी असली लेदर नहीं देती हैं। दूसरी ओर, फैब्रिक सीटें भारतीय जलवायु परिस्थितियों में अधिक सांस लेने योग्य और आरामदायक होती हैं। इस प्रकार, सभी वेरिएंट में फैब्रिक अपहोल्स्ट्री देने का निर्णय एकदम सही है।
निष्कर्ष
बोलेरो नियो न केवल मजबूत दिखता है, बल्कि यह मजबूत भी है। बोलेरो ब्रांड दशकों की इंजीनियरिंग विशेषज्ञता और 1.5 मिलियन से अधिक खरीदारों का भरोसा रखता है। बोलेरो नियो एक सच्चे बोलेरो एसयूवी की आवश्यक विशेषताओं को बरकरार रखता है और उन्हें बेहतर बनाता है। यह उन विशेषताओं के साथ भी आता है जो पूरी तरह से लक्ष्य को पूरा करते हैं। बोलेरो नियो उन खरीदारों की ज़रूरतों को पूरा करता है जो एक मजबूत एसयूवी चाहते हैं जिसे वे आसानी और मन की शांति के साथ खराब सड़कों और बिना सड़कों पर आराम से चला सकें।
इस लेख में, हम आगामी टाटा अल्ट्रोज़ रेसर की अपेक्षित कीमत के बारे में अपने अनुमानों को अपडेट करने का प्रयास करेंगे। टाटा ने पिछले डेढ़ साल में अल्ट्रोज़ के बारे में काफी कुछ बदलाव किए हैं। इसलिए, अब समय आ गया है कि हम अपनी अल्ट्रोज़ रेसर की अपेक्षित कीमत को संशोधित करें और उन्हें मई 2024 के अनुमानों के अनुरूप बनाएँ।
चूंकि अल्ट्रोज़ रेसर अगर कंपनी को टर्बो पेट्रोल इंजन भी मिलने वाला है, तो हमें अल्ट्रोज़ टर्बो को बेसलाइन के तौर पर इस्तेमाल करना चाहिए। अल्ट्रोज़ टर्बो पेट्रोल इंजन फिलहाल 2 वेरिएंट में उपलब्ध है: XZ और XZ Plus S. इनकी कीमत क्रमशः 9.20 लाख रुपये और 9.70 लाख रुपये है।
हमारे इन-हाउस एल्गोरिदम का सुझाव है कि इन सुविधाओं और मैकेनिकल अपग्रेड के लिए अनुमानित मूल्य वृद्धि लगभग 95,000 रुपये है। इसलिए, एक साधारण मिलान से पता चलता है कि रेसर की कीमत XZ प्लस S टर्बो से लगभग 1.0 लाख रुपये अधिक होनी चाहिए। इसका मतलब है कि रेसर के पूरी तरह से लोडेड वेरिएंट की एक्स-शोरूम कीमत 10.70 लाख रुपये है।
टाटा अल्ट्रोज़ रेसर की कीमत – अंतिम अनुमान – 10.90 लाख रुपये
10.90 लाख रुपये की एक्स-शोरूम कीमत के साथ भी, अल्ट्रोज़ रेसर एक अच्छी वैल्यू ऑफरिंग के रूप में दिखाई दे सकती है। इसका सबसे करीबी प्रतिद्वंद्वी, मैनुअल ट्रांसमिशन वाला i20 N Line N6 वेरिएंट 10.0 लाख रुपये का है। हमें i20 N Line बेस मॉडल को चुनौती देने के लिए कम सुविधाओं के साथ अल्ट्रोज़ रेसर का एक लोअर वेरिएंट मिल सकता है। इस बीच, रेसर का टॉप मॉडल i20 N Line N8 मैनुअल से मुकाबला कर सकता है, जिसकी कीमत सिंगल-टोन पेंट के साथ 11.27 लाख रुपये और डुअल-टोन के साथ 11.42 लाख रुपये है।

Mahindra will launch XUV.e9 in April 2025. It will be the second vehicle to be based on the ‘Born Electric’ platform.

Mahindra is working on a slew of new electric vehicles for the Indian market. The homegrown manufacturer showcased new concepts back in 2022 and is currently testing them on Indian roads. One of the five electric SUVs was the XUV.e9 which was spotted recently while it was charging at a Tata Motors dealership.
One of the first things that we can notice is that the charging port is located on the rear left-hand side. We have seen from the earlier spy shots that there is a plastic piece that covers the charging port. There is a C-shaped LED tail lamp that wraps around the charging port.

We also get a close look at the front-end design of the SUV Coupe. The LED headlamps are the same ones that are doing duty on the XUV.e8 so they are vertically stacked and have copper elements in them. There is also a slim air dam in the bumper for the airflow required for electrical components. There are also newly designed alloy wheels on the side with flush sitting door handles.

The Mahindra XUV.e9 will have dimensions of 4,790 mm in length, 1,905 mm in width, and a height of 1,690 mm. It will be based on the INGLO platform and feature a wheelbase of 2,775 mm. The XUV.e9 does look rather imposing and dominating because of its size which will be larger than the XUV700 for reference.

Mahindra has already revealed that the XUV.e9 will be launched in April 2025. It will be the second ‘Born Electric’ vehicle to come from Mahindra’s stable after XUV.e8 which will be launched by the end of 2024. The XUV.e8 is essentially an electrified version of the XUV700 and the XUV.e9 is the SUV Coupe version of the XUV.e8.

In the nearly decade-long presence in India, Jeep SUV models have competed in both the mass-market space as well as the luxury space. But the performance in terms of sheer volumes has not been much to write home about. So what makes the Jeep brand tick in a country which now has the world’s third-largest vehicle market in terms of sales? Is the business about number of units sold or is it about establishing and maintaining a premium image? And what does the future hold for a brand that prides in the rugged credentials of its offerings at a time when electric vehicles (EVs) are fast becoming a rage?
Watch: Jeep India strategy ahead: Will continue to be premium, lifestyle statement
HT Auto recently caught up with Jeep India Brand Director Priyesh Kumar to get an inside view on the sidelines of the unveil event of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler. Here are excerpts from the interview:
HT Auto: What does the Wrangler brand mean to Jeep and to, specifically, customers here in India?
The latest Wrangler from Jeep gets subtle style updates on the outside, feature additions within and is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol motor.
Priyesh: Wrangler is a product which has been known for its off-roading (capabilities). But what’s going to happen maybe time to come is that Wrangler is going to be equally good for the on-roading. New features that are getting added, like ADAS, Nappa leather seats, better navigation screens, six airbags, all those things are also going to give you an equally good on-road experience.
HT Auto: Wrangler has always been a bad boy. So what you are saying is it will be a bad boy but now with a good heart?
Priyesh: To some extent, yes. It is a bit poetic but it is correct.
HT Auto: How much has the Indian car-buying audience evolved to the whole concept of adventure driving, and what does it mean for a brand like Jeep and a model like Wrangler?
Priyesh: When it comes to the evolution of Indian customers towards experiencing lifestyle products, and maybe off-roading-capable products, they (customers) are still evolving. To further promote it, we are doing a lot of things like Jeep Camps, Jeep Trails, where we invite our customers to actually experience the product.So what I am saying is that it (fondness for off-road driving) is gradually coming up and it will help us as a brand.
HT Auto: But then help me understand what does Jeep stand for as a brand. Because on one end of the spectrum, you have the Compass and then the Grand Cherokee on the other. So does Jeep want mass appeal or have an aspirational aura?
The newest version of the Grand Cherokee was launched in India in 2022. It sits on the top of the Jeep product pyramid in the country.
Priyesh: We are going to be more accessible to all segments of customers. The Compass, Meridian, Wrangler or the Grand Cherokee are all premium products, and we will maintain that premium-ness. Going forward, it will be a lifestyle statement as well. But as I mentioned, the customer base itself is evolving, the customer thought process is evolving. So that’s going to definitely help Jeep as a brand.
HT Auto: But let’s be honest, are you also chasing volumes because frankly, cars like Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, as capable as they are and as much as they may carry the aspirational tag, won’t bring in the numbers and volumes (in terms of sales)?
Priyesh: I will not say that we are not in that number game. But we are not going to compromise on the quality of customers or the profile of customers which we are looking at.What we’re looking at is to expand that base altogether. Network expansion is on the cards so our cars are more accessible. A key pillar of our strategy is going to be corporate sales. So, there are a couple of things which we are looking at.
HT Auto: So volume, but not in the actual definition of volume?
Priyesh: We are not going to be in that rat race. But yes, we have also aspirations and we will pick up the volumes with all the things which I mentioned to you.
HT Auto: Jeep has products in the global markets that are positioned below or at par with Compass in India. Why not explore the idea of getting some of those products , like the Renegade for example, to the Indian market?
Jeep Renegade sold in several foreign markets has smaller exterior proportions than the Jeep Compass.
Priyesh: We are evaluating everything to be very honest with you. It’s not being limited to, let’s say, Compass on one side and Grand Cherokee. We are also evaluating the ever-changing customer expectations and market dynamics. On the basis of these, we will come with those products, whatever we find is appropriate for the market and makes business case for us.
HT Auto: Jeep CEO Antonio Fulani recently said that in India, a fair degree of localisation has been achieved but also hinted that more is required. You have 500 suppliers in the country. In your view, what more can possibly be done to bring down costs?
Priyesh: We have around 70 per cent localisation and are looking to take it to 90 per cent. If we have to grow, we can’t be limiting ourselves to our current numbers. So localisation makes the overall ecosystem more friendly to the Indian market. And that’s what is one of the priorities we have.
HT Auto: Going back to the product portfolio, can you give us a look into what is next after the 2024 Wrangler?
Priyesh: So I will start with what we did recently. We launched the Compass Night Eagle special edition which is a fully loaded variant. Then obviously, now is time for the new Wrangler. Then we have the Meridian 2.0. Again, we are looking at which all features should be part of the Meridian so that it isaligned to the market. It has to be something which appeals (to buyers) and it has to maintain the core DNA of Jeep. So all those things are being evaluated, post that also we will have a couple of product launches. But at this point in time, I am not in a position to share that.
HT Auto: What about electrics and what does battery technology and adoption hold for a brand that is about lifestyle, about adventure, about off-roading like Jeep. How do you not just stay relevant but stay ahead of the curve?
Priyesh: Globally, we have also got electric vehicles. Going forward, there are going to be some big ones like Wagoneer S and Recon. So globally, we are already there. In the domestic market, we are still exploring which products suit the market here. We are closely monitoring customer expectations, government policies, infrastructure development and regulations. We are very serious about this and we will come out with an option soon.
Kia Sonet is offered in three engine options. There is a naturally aspirated petrol engine, a turbocharged petrol engine and a diesel engine.
Kia Sonet 2024 facelift SUV comes with host of updates that includes a new exterior look, an updated interior and features galore. The biggest bragging right now is the introduction of ADAS technology, a first in the sub-compact SUV segment.
Kia India has announced that the Sonet has received a significant milestone of surpassing 4 lakh sales figures in under 44 months. It is important to note that these sales figures include domestic and overseas markets. The Sonet commands 33.3 per cent overall sales with 3,17,754 units sold domestically and 85,814 units exported. The updated Sonet was launched in India in January 2024. The price
In 44 months since launch, 63 per cent of customers prefer Sonet variants equipped with a sunroof. Regarding engine preference, Sonet’s 1.5-litre diesel engine is preferred by 37% of its customers which is quite surprising as the market for diesel engines is slowly dying. 63 per cent of customers prefer petrol engine options. Kia has also observed a consumer shift towards automatic variants. This is probably because of the increasing traffic that our cities are facing. The 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission in Sonet has gained traction, growing by 37.50 per cent since 2020. While automatic transmissions (7DCT & 6AT) contribute 28 per cent, the iMT has a steady fanbase with a 23 per cent sales contribution to Sonet. In the iMT gearbox, the driver needs to change the gears but doesn’t have to engage or disengage the clutch pedal.
Watch: Kia Sonet 2024 facelift SUV: Armed with ADAS, ready for rivals
Compact SUV is one of the most popular segments in the Indian market. Mr. Myung-sik Sohn, Chief Sales Officer, Kia India, commented, “The compact SUV segment presents a big opportunity, with many first-time buyers entering the segment directly. Sonet is our second-best innovation, and it has captured their imagination perfectly. It offers them a futuristic, tech-enabled, comfortable mobility solution designed very well and with low ownership costs.”
Recently, Kia introduced new entry and mid variants of Sonet by introducing 4 new HTE(O) and HTK (O) variants in diesel and petrol engine options. While the HTE(O) gets a sunroof, HTK(O) offers a sunroof along with LED Connected taillamps, fully automatic temperature control (FATC) and a rear defogger.
Update also introduces all-wheel drive for the first time in Formula E.
Formula E has taken the wraps off its revamped Gen3 Evo race car, claimed to be the fastest accelerating FIA single-seater with a 0-100kph time of 1.86secs. The update also introduces all-wheel drive, new tyres and sturdier bodywork.
Formula E claims 0-100kph time of 1.86secs
Update introduces all-wheel drive, new tyres
Will be introduced for 2025 season
Gen3 Evo is meant to be an interim update between the current Gen3 cars and the Gen4, which will be introduced for the 2026/27 season. Speaking to Autocar India, Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds said that the aim of the update is to deliver “faster performing cars on track, more technology to be able to transfer [to road cars] and this continued journey of sustainability”.
Of course, the headlining figure is a 0-100kph time of 1.86secs (0-60mph in 1.82secs), which is claimed to be 30 percent quicker than a current F1 car and 36 percent quicker than the Gen3 car. For reference, F1 cars can accelerate from 0-60mph in roughly 2.6secs. Formula E says all the upgrades should deliver a 2 percent performance gain, so a qualifying lap time around the Monaco circuit would roughly be 2secs faster.
“We’re growing very quickly. But in motorsport, the thing that captures attention the most is speed,” explains Dodds. “When we go out and tell people that the acceleration of this car is 30 percent faster than the current F1 car, I think that will capture the interest of sports fans around the world. And I hope people come and look at the racing for the first time, see how competitive and exciting it is, and choose to stick around.
All-wheel drive, new tyres
The update also unlocks all-wheel drive for the first time in Formula E, but this will only be available to use during qualifying duels, race starts and Attack Mode. Formula E is hoping this addition will enhance “both performance and strategy”.
The all-weather Hankook tyres have also been revised to provide 5-10 percent more grip. And they will also be made from 35 percent recycled and sustainable materials (up nine percent compared to the current Gen3 tyres).
The combination of these two should significantly alter driving dynamics. “All-wheel drive will require drivers to test it. I think they will get around that quite quickly because they’re some of the best drivers in the world,” said Dodds. “But the other thing that changes is the tyre and we know historically with racing drivers that it is often tyres and tyre changes that take longest for them to get used to because the performance is completely different.”
Since the introduction of the Gen3 cars, drivers have struggled to convert their Attack Mode boosts into overtaking moves. The combination of all-wheel drive and better grip should, in theory, help solve this issue to some extent.
More robust bodykit
The Gen3 Evo car also gets a new front wing, new rear winglets and a narrower nose. Formula E says the updated body kit has been designed to be “stronger, more robust and more aerodynamic”.
These cars will now be tested in Valencia later this year before being introduced for the 2025 season.

British Columbia has banned all cars with Level 3 ADAS in the province, directly impacting the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Mercedes-Benz EQS.
British Columbia has banned all cars with Level 3 ADAS in the province, directly impacting the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Mercedes-Benz EQS.
At a time when the global automobile industry is thriving towards adopting ADAS in an increasingly wide range of cars, the Canadian province of British Columbia has banned all cars with Level 3 ADAS. The province has recently updated its Motor Vehicle Act, prohibiting the use of vehicles with the Level 3 systems, which comes as a major clampdown on using such systems. The updated law makes it illegal to merely drive any Level 3 driving assist-equipped vehicle, even if the technology is not used.
The British Columbia government introduced the new rule on 18th March and enforced it into effect on 15th April. With this rule, driving a car in the province that comes equipped with Level 3 or above becomes illegal. However, currently, there are only two cars that come with Level 3 ADAS, which include the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class and Mercedes-BVenz EQS. This technology allows the drivers to go hands-off and eyes-off at a speed of less than 64 kmph.
This means if a person owns the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Mercedes-Benz EQS, he or she will have to think twice before visiting the province. If caught, the person will be fined with a hefty amount ranging between CAD 368 and CAD 2,000 or even six months in jail as well.
Interestingly, while the British Columbia government has banned the cars equipped with Level 3 ADAS, future use of the technology is not ruled out. In a statement, the government has stated that new and emerging transportation technology needs further testing and policy adjustments before widespread use. The government also said that these new regulations will keep people safer on the roads and encourage even more use of active transportation, which is another step in modernizing the rules to keep up with new technologies that are changing how people are getting around.

As there is no end date for this programme mentioned in the company’s official communication, only time will tell whether this will be a new standard feature on all KTM and Husqvarna models.

The fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift is ready to hit the Indian market in May 2024 with a revamped design, new features and a new 1.2-litre Z-Series three-cylinder petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology.
Maruti Suzuki Swift has been making headlines over the last few months. The popular hatchback is all set to receive a completely new generation avatar in May this year, which will come with a revamped design, new features and a new 1.2-litre Z-Series three-cylinder petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology. This is going to be a major update for the Swift after a long time and is expected to boost the appeal of the hatchback further.
The new generation Maruti Suzuki Swift made its global debut at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. Since then, the hatchback has gone on sale in global markets like Europe and Japan. Now, India is going to be added to that list. The India-spec next-generation Swift would be similar to the global model. However, the new generation Swift sits on the same platform as the current model.
2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift: Exterior
The new Maruti Suzuki Swift, also codenamed YED, comes with a significantly distinctive visual appearance compared to the outgoing model. It gets a new front profile featuring an updated radiator grille flanked by sharper and redesigned LED projector headlamps with integrated LED daytime running lights. The top variant would get LED fog lamps. The bumper too looks different. Moving to the side profile, the hatchback gets new design alloy wheels, and relocated rear passenger door handles. At the back, the new Swift sports redesigned LED taillights and a revamped bumper. The new Swift is expected to come available in new colour options.
2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift: Interior
Moving inside the cabin, the Swift gets a significantly updated dashboard layout sporting a free-standing touchscreen infotainment system and a fully digital instrument cluster. Seat and upholstery materials too come refreshed.
2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift: Safety
On the safety front, the new Swift would come with six airbags, ABS with EBD and ESP as standard, a three-point seatbelt for the second-row centre passenger, reverse parking camera. The India-spec Swift may miss out on the 360-degree camera and ADAS that are available in the global model.
2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift: Powertrain
The new generation Maruti Suzuki Swift gets a new Z-Series 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, which replaces the current model’s K12 four-cylinder petrol unit. Expect the power and torque output of the new engine to be similar to what the K12 unit generates. The current engine churns out 89 bhp peak power and 113 Nm maximum torque. Expect a five-speed manual unit and AMT option to be available for the new Swift. The biggest highlight would be the mild-hybrid technology that would be available across all the variants.
We tell you what all will be new and different on the India-bound all-new Maruti Swift.
The new Maruti Swift will go on sale in India on May 9, 2024, Autocar India can confirm. The all-new Swift will be one of the major launches for Maruti this year and will be followed by the market introduction of the all-new Dzire compact sedan later this year. The new Maruti Swift (Codename: YED) gets fresh yet familiar looks, new interior and features and all-new petrol powerplant.

Fresh Z-series 1.2-liter petrol engine to debut on the Swift
More features and safety tech incoming
New Maruti Swift: India-spec details
The all-new Swift was shown internationally last year and since then, there have been sightings of various test-mules in India as well. The India-bound Swift, will look more or less similar to the one sold abroad but there will be some country specific changes.
Sources tell us that the India-spec Maruti Swift will get slightly different looking front and rear bumpers however the changes will be minimal like the number plate housing will be bigger and there will be no contrast black elements seen. All-in-all, the new Swift for India will still closely look like the ones on the car sold overseas. The alloy wheel design is also similar but not exactly the same as the international car and mid-variants will have a unique design. The C-pillar on the India-bound Swift will also be all-black, similar to the Hyundai i20. The reverse camera however is placed on the boot lid and not on the rear bumper and the car will have full LED lights including LED fog lamps on the top variant. On the safety front, expect six-airbags, ABS with EBD and ESP to be standard along with three point seat-belt for the second row center passenger. Sources tell us that the car bound for India will not get a 360-degree camera or ADAS which is seen on the one sold abroad.
New Maruti Swift will debut new 1.2-liter Z-series engine
The K12 four cylinder petrol poweplant will be replaced by the new Z-series 1.2-liter three cylinder engine that made its debut on the Swift in Japan last year. This engine will get India-specific tweaks with more focus on emissions, efficiency and power output. Speaking of power, we are told the output for the new Z-series equipped Swift will be more or less similar to the outgoing K12 engine that churns out 90hp and 113Nm. There is no word on transmissions for the new Swift, however we expect Maruti to continue with the five-speed manual and AMT gearbox which will be tailored for Indian conditions. The new Z-series petrol is expected to come with mild-hybrid tech on all variants.
With new looks, more features and more fuel efficient engine under the hood, Maruti will expect the new Swift to build upon the outgoing car’s legacy in terms of sales numbers and popularity.
Expect more details on the new Swift to trickle out as the launch nears.

Jeep India is all set to bring the updated Wrangler off-roader to the market on April 22, 2024. The Jeep Wrangler facelift made its global debut nearly a year ago and the SUV is all set to make its way to the Indian market with a comprehensive upgrade to its design and feature list. Here’s a look at what you can expect.
The Jeep Wrangler facelift will get an all-black with the trademark seven-slat design being slimmer than before. There are new alloy wheels, different wheel sizes and multiple roof options available globally. Jeep India will likely bring the soft top and hard top options to the Indian market.

The Wrangler facelift will also get Jeep’s latest Uconnect 5 user interface bringing more connected tech to the off-roader. Furthermore, there will be the new Trails Offroad guide with 62 off-road trails incorporated into the system. Other upgrades include the 12-way electrically adjustable front seats, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a semi-digital instrument console, and more.
Power on the Jeep Wrangler facelift for India will come from the 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine tuned for 266 bhp and 400 Nm of peak torque, while paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The SUV will also get the Jeep Selec-Trac full-time Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) system. There won’t be a diesel engine for the Indian market.
The Wrangler is presently available in two variants – Unlimited and Rubicon – and we expect the same to continue on the facelifted model as well. The current version is priced between ₹62.65 lakh and ₹66.65 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively, and expect the new version to command a marginal premium over the same. The Jeep Wrangler will take on the Land Rover Defender in the luxury off-roader segment.
Powering the E-Class are three engines. There is a 2.0-litre petrol engine that puts out 196 bhp and 320 Nm and a 2.0-litre diesel engine that produces 192 bhp and 400 Nm. Then there is the 3.0-litre diesel engine that puts out 285 bhp and 600 Nm. All the engines come mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Mercedes-Benz recently confirmed that it will launch as many as three new electric vehicles for the Indian car market this calendar year. These EVs would be part of 12 launches planned for 2024, three of which have already taken place in the TEV (top-end vehicles) category.
While Mercedes did not reveal which EV models it is bringing this year, the company did once again underline that it is looking at playing a lead role in the battery-powered luxury car segment. At present, the portfolio includes models like EQE, EQS and AMG EQS.
Besides revealing its plan for electric cars,Mercedes-Benz India also said that in the last quarter that ended in March 2024, the OEM sold 5,412 units in the country, marking a 15 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth. The last financial year was the best-ever fiscal for Mercedes-Benz India, claimed the automaker. It claims to have sold 18,123 units in the country in FY24, recording a 10 per cent growth over the previous fiscal. Not only that, in March 2024, the luxury car marque registered its highest-ever sales in India. Another interesting fact the automaker revealed is that 25 per cent of its total cars sold in India were its top-end vehicles.
