A Beechcraft 55 aircraft collided with a Toyota Camry while attempting an emergency landing on the I-95 highway in Merritt Island, Florida. Surprisingly, the driver suffered minor injuries and the pilot remained safe in the entire incident. Along with the pilot, other people on board the plane also remained safe. This was a training flight. A few minutes after take off, both the engines of the plane failed.

New Delhi. It is not common for a plane to land on a highway amid moving traffic. For this reason, the incident of a light plane crash landing on a Toyota Camry on a highway in Florida is much discussed on social media. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the incident occurred when a multi-engine aircraft reported engine failure shortly after takeoff and was attempting an emergency landing. This was a training flight.

Incident recorded in dashcam
The incident happened around 5:45 pm on Monday evening and was recorded on the dashcam of a passing car. Just before this, the pilot of the Beechcraft 55 aircraft had informed about the failure of both the engines, after which an emergency landing was attempted.

No need of petrol, no hassle of charging! In which car did Union Minister Prahlad Joshi reach Parliament? Know complete details

No need of petrol, no hassle of charging! In which car did Union Minister Prahlad Joshi reach Parliament? Know complete details

Last Updated:

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi reached Parliament in a hydrogen fuel powered Toyota Mirai car, which was launched under the National Green Hydrogen Mission and gives zero emissions. This car is better than petrol cars in many respects and in terms of refueling it is even better than EV because it takes only 5-7 minutes to refill and it comes with zero noise and zero emissions.

New Delhi. Union Minister Prahlad Joshi reached Parliament on Thursday driving a hydrogen-powered car and attracted everyone's attention. The question in everyone's mind was which car was this? If you also have this question in your mind, then let us tell you that this car was a hydrogen fuel powered Toyota Mirai. Talking to the media, he said that an MoU has been signed between Toyota Kirloskar and National Institute of Solar Energy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's National Green Hydrogen Mission.

Mirai means 'future'
He said, “This car is a hydrogen car. National Green Hydrogen Mission was started in India under the leadership of PM Modi. Today MoU has been signed between Toyota Kirloskar and our National Institute of Solar Energy.” Apart from this, talking about this hydrogen-powered vehicle, which releases only water steam, he told that its name is 'Mirai', which means 'future'.

hydrogen fuel cell tech
This car works on hydrogen fuel cell tech which makes it a better option than traditional ICE engine cars. With this technology, this car achieves zero emissions i.e. it is completely eco-friendly.

How does fuel cell technology work?

  • Hydrogen Intake: Hydrogen gas is taken from pressurized tanks.
  • Fuel cell reaction: Inside the fuel cell stack, hydrogen combines with oxygen in the air.
  • Power Production: This process produces electricity, which is used to run an electric motor and charge a small battery.
  • Zero Emission: Its only by-product is pure water vapor.

Features and Performance

  • Powertrain: Rear electric motor (about 182 horsepower).
  • Range: Excellent range according to the EPA, often over 400 miles (e.g. 402 miles for the XLE).
  • Refueling: It takes about 5 minutes to completely fill the tank.
  • Driving Experience: Smooth, quiet and like a premium sedan or battery EV, with good acceleration.
  • Technology: Comes with advanced driver-assistance systems (like Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, Lane Tracing Assist).

Why is petrol better than cars?
This car is better than petrol cars in many respects. In terms of refueling, it is even better than EV because it takes only 5-7 minutes to refill it. This means that like petrol cars, it can be refueled quickly. These days, pollution has become a big problem across the country. In such a situation, this car with zero emissions is a great option.

Came later and became dominant, VinFast defeated Tesla in EV sales, sold a lot of cars in November

Came later and became dominant, VinFast defeated Tesla in EV sales, sold a lot of cars in November

Last Updated:

VinFast Overtakes Tesla In November Sales: VinFast overtook Tesla by selling 291 electric vehicles in India in November 2025, while Tata Motors remained the market leader with 6153 units. VF6 and VF7 are continuously attracting buyers due to their low prices. In the coming time, the company is also going to bring some new models in India.

New Delhi. Vietnam's electric vehicle manufacturer Vinfast has registered a tremendous jump in retail sales in India in November 2025 and has left Tesla behind by a huge margin. According to the latest data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), the total sales of both the brands are still low, but this month's figures show how fast VinFast has gained hold in the Indian market after its entry. VinFast had entered India after Tesla and managed to make its place among the buyers in a short time.

november sale
According to FADA's retail report, Vinfast sold 291 electric vehicles in November, while Tesla sold only 48 units. This performance is a big leap for the Vietnamese company, which had sold 131 units in October. With over 122% month-on-month sales growth, VinFast has become one of the most talked-about new brands in the country's fast-growing electric mobility segment.

48 units of Tesla sold
At the same time, Tesla's growth remained slow. Its sales increased from 40 units in October to 48 units in November, i.e. an increase of 20 percent month-on-month. Although the brand identity of the American company is strong in India, the pace of its retail sales has been slow till now. Despite this advance of VinFast, Tata Motors maintained its dominance in the electric vehicle market. The domestic company sold 6,153 electric vehicles in November, further strengthening its market leadership. Tata's dealerships across the country and its large range of electric vehicles are the reasons for its strength.

Why is Vinfast growing?
Industry experts believe that VinFast's price and product strategy have been the key factors behind its strong sales. VinFast began local assembly in India in September and launched two models—VF6 and VF7—which were priced at Rs 16.49 lakh and Rs 20.89 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively. The company's decision to assemble the vehicles locally kept prices competitive and placed both models in the high-demand mass EV segment.

tesla price
At the same time, Tesla's offering in India is limited only to the fully imported Model Y, whose starting price is Rs 59.89 lakh (ex-showroom). Due to its premium positioning and higher price, it attracts fewer customers than Vinfast's more accessible models.

⁠Mercedes-Benz S-Class facelift teased with LiDAR robotaxi ahead of January debut

  • Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the upcoming S-Class facelift in robotaxi guise, featuring roof-mounted LiDAR that enables Level-4 autonomous driving. The updated flagship is expected to make its global debut in January 2026 with refreshed styling, reworked interiors and familiar powertrain options.

The updated S-Class features a reworked front grille, redesigned bumpers and refreshed lighting with a new three-pointed star signature.

The current-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class arrived five years ago, but the luxury sedan is set to be replaced with a successor by the end of the decade. However, before raising the curtains, the German carmaker will launch a mid-cycle update to keep its flagship competitive in its segment. While the car is expected to launch globally in January 2026, it has been officially teased as a robotaxi in camouflage.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class facelift has made its first appearance in the form of a robotaxi, which will be introduced in Abu Dhabi under a partnership with Momenta in its initial phase. The sedan is offered with roof-mounted LiDAR, enabling a Level-4 autonomous driving system certified by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). With this, Mercedes intends to establish a driverless shuttle service, which will eventually expand to more areas.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class facelift: exterior update

The S-Class facelift will feature several cosmetic changes, including a new front grille that has become more angular than the existing version. The bumpers at both the front and rear look more pronounced, while the headlamps and taillights have been refreshed with the three-pointed star motif that follows all of Stuttgart's latest models. And of course, the car will be sold to the public without LiDAR and fender-mounted cameras.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class facelift: interior changes

Mercedes-Benz S-Class Facelift
The facelifted S-Class is expected to adopt the same wall-to-wall display layout as the EQS, supported by the latest software.

Mercedes will update the interior of the S-Class for a more tech-based experience. Expect the dashboard to be dominated by a wall-to-wall display, as it is on the EQS, with a seamless glass panel spanning three screens. It will probably be based on the latest operating software.

Mercedes-Benz S-Class facelift: powertrain options

Although there are no official details on the powertrain of the updated model, it is expected to carry over to the existing lineup of options. The range starts with a 3.0-litre mild-hybrid inline-six unit that makes 442 bhp and moves up to a plug-in hybrid V8 engine that stops just short of touching the 800-bhp mark. The Maybach lineup will likely retain the powerful V12 powerplant.

The S-Class facelift is expected to be launched in 2027 and will probably reach Indian shores. The sedan will continue to be sold alongside its electric sibling, the EQS, until both nameplates are merged into one model for the next generation.

नई पीढ़ी की रेनॉल्ट डस्टर जल्द ही भारत आएगी: यहाँ क्या उम्मीद है

नई पीढ़ी की रेनॉल्ट डस्टर जल्द ही भारत आएगी: यहाँ क्या उम्मीद है

  • डस्टर नेमप्लेट 26 जनवरी 2026 को एक नए डिज़ाइन, तकनीकी उन्नयन के साथ वापस आएगी और इसे केवल पेट्रोल लाइनअप मिलने की संभावना है।

डेसिया डस्टर भारतीय बाजारों में रेनॉल्ट डस्टर के रूप में आएगी।

रेनॉल्ट वापस लाने की तैयारी कर रही है एक भारत में इसके सबसे प्रभावशाली मॉडलों में से, नई पीढ़ी के डस्टर की 26 जनवरी 2026 को शुरुआत की पुष्टि हो गई है। नेमप्लेट में महत्वपूर्ण भार होता है भारतीय बाजार: जब पहली पीढ़ी की डस्टर 2012 में आई, तो इसने प्रभावी ढंग से मध्यम आकार के मोनोकॉक एसयूवी सेगमेंट का निर्माण किया, अपने पहले वर्ष में 40,000 से अधिक इकाइयां बेचीं, और इसके बाद प्रतिद्वंद्वियों की एक लहर को प्रेरित किया। समय के साथ, इसमें AWD वैरिएंट प्राप्त हुए, 2019 में इसे नया रूप दिया गया, और BS6 संक्रमण के दौरान मॉडल को चरणबद्ध तरीके से समाप्त करने से पहले 2020 में कुछ समय के लिए टर्बो-पेट्रोल सेटअप में बदल दिया गया।

यह खंड अब पहले से कहीं अधिक प्रतिस्पर्धी है, रेनॉल्ट उसी स्थान पर वापसी का प्रयास कर रहा है जिसे स्थापित करने में उसने मदद की थी। यहां बताया गया है कि एसयूवी आने पर कैसी दिखेगी और उसमें क्या विशेषताएं होंगी:

नई पीढ़ी की रेनॉल्ट डस्टर: अपेक्षित डिज़ाइन

2026 डस्टर एसयूवी के उस अनुपात को बरकरार रखता है जिसे खरीदार मूल के साथ जोड़ते हैं, लेकिन इसकी स्टाइलिंग में काफी विकास हुआ है। चूंकि कार पहले ही अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर लॉन्च हो चुकी है, हम पहले से ही जानते हैं कि एसयूवी की लंबाई लगभग 4.3 मीटर है, और भारत-स्पेक मॉडल के समान आयाम बनाए रखने की उम्मीद है।

सामने के हिस्से में पतले एलईडी हेडलैंप, ग्रिल पर जगह-जगह रेनॉल्ट अक्षर और चौड़े एयर इनटेक के साथ भारी आवरण वाला बम्पर है। गढ़ी हुई बोनट रेखाएं सीधे रुख को बढ़ाती हैं। प्रोफ़ाइल पहचानने योग्य डस्टर विंडो लाइन के साथ जारी है, लेकिन अधिक मांसल उपस्थिति के लिए चंकी फेंडर क्लैडिंग और डायमंड-कट मिश्र धातुओं का उपयोग करता है। पीछे की तरफ, सी-आकार के एलईडी लैंप, एक डुअल-टोन बम्पर और एक चौकोर, ऊबड़-खाबड़ लुक वाला रूफ स्पॉइलर है। कार्यात्मक छत रेलें शामिल हैं।

डेसिया डस्टर
टेल लैंप को अब और भी अधिक ज्यामितीय आकार मिलता है।

नई पीढ़ी की रेनॉल्ट डस्टर: अपेक्षित इंटीरियर और तकनीक

अंदर, नया डस्टर एक स्तरित डैशबोर्ड और कोणीय सतह को अपनाता है लेकिन एक सीधा, कार्यात्मक लेआउट बनाए रखता है। भारत-स्पेक केबिन के वैश्विक डिज़ाइन का अनुसरण करने की उम्मीद है, जो या तो ऑल-ब्लैक या डुअल-टोन थीम और हेक्सागोनल वेंट के साथ ड्राइवर-झुका हुआ केंद्र कंसोल का उपयोग करता है।

अपेक्षित सुविधाओं में शामिल हैं:

  • वायरलेस एंड्रॉइड ऑटो और ऐप्पल कारप्ले के साथ 10-इंच टचस्क्रीन
  • 7 इंच का डिजिटल इंस्ट्रूमेंट क्लस्टर
  • वायरलेस चार्जिंग
  • अर्कामिस 3डी साउंड सिस्टम
  • 360-डिग्री कैमरा
  • ADAS पैकेज (संभवतः रेनॉल्ट भारत का पहला)

समग्र केबिन दर्शन स्थायित्व, आधुनिक सुविधा और सुरक्षा प्रौद्योगिकी का मिश्रण लाता हुआ प्रतीत होता है।

नई पीढ़ी की रेनॉल्ट डस्टर: अपेक्षित इंजन और गियरबॉक्स

रेनॉल्ट 1.3-लीटर टर्बो-पेट्रोल इंजन के साथ शुरू होगी, जिसे 6-स्पीड मैनुअल या सीवीटी ऑटोमैटिक के साथ जोड़ा जाएगा। अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर, यह मोटर 156hp का उत्पादन करती है, और यहां भी इसी तरह की संख्या की उम्मीद की जाती है। बाद के चरण में एक मजबूत-हाइब्रिड संस्करण भी आ सकता है। अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर बेचा जाने वाला एक 1.6-लीटर पेट्रोल इंजन, दो इलेक्ट्रिक मोटर और एक ई-सीवीटी है, जो 140hp का उत्पादन करता है।

एक डीजल इंजन के वापस आने की संभावना नहीं है, और जबकि पुराने डस्टर ने AWD की पेशकश की थी, नई हाइब्रिड-आधारित AWD प्रणाली भारतीय बाजार के लिए लागत प्रभावी नहीं हो सकती है।

नई पीढ़ी की रेनॉल्ट डस्टर: अपेक्षित कीमत और प्रतिद्वंद्वी

नई डस्टर की कीमत इसके बीच होने की उम्मीद है 10 लाख और 20 लाख (एक्स-शोरूम), जैसा कि मध्यम आकार के एसयूवी सेगमेंट में समान प्रतिद्वंद्वियों के मामले में है।

इसके प्रमुख प्रतिद्वंद्वियों में जैसे लोग शामिल होंगे हुंडई क्रेटाकिआ सेल्टोस, मारुति सुजुकी ग्रैंड विटारामारुति सुजुकी विक्टोरिस, टोयोटा हैदराबाद, होंडा एलिवेट, टाटा कर्व, टाटा सिएरा, वोक्सवैगन ताइगुन, स्कोडा कुशाक और एमजी एस्टोर।

Kia Seltos Vs Tata Sierra: Who wins in terms of features? Which car to buy?

Kia Seltos Vs Tata Sierra: Who wins in terms of features? Which car to buy?

New Delhi. The second generation Kia Seltos has made its global debut, in which its exterior and interior have been completely redesigned and some new features have also been added. Its rivals include the recently launched Tata Sierra, which revives an iconic name and offers the latest innovations. So, which one is better in terms of features in the top trim of these two midsize SUVs? Let us know.

Kia Seltos Vs Tata Sierra: Features
Both midsize SUVs get an all-LED lighting setup, but the Sierra gets rear fog lamps and puddle lamps on all doors, which are missing from the next-generation Seltos. Apart from this, the Seltos comes with smaller 18-inch rims, while the Sierra gets larger 19-inch rims. However, the outside rearview mirror (ORVM) in Kia is synchronized with the memory function of the driver's seat. Whereas in Sierra, memory function is available only for the driver seat.

DRLS LEDs led bar
front fog lamps LEDs LEDs
tail lights No Yes

Kia Seltos Vs Tata Sierra: Dashboard
Both models get a triple-screen setup with a 12.3-inch infotainment system. However, the Sierra gets a 12.3-inch passenger display, while the Seltos, like the Kia Sciros and EV9, gets a 5-inch climate control screen between the infotainment screen and the 12.3-inch driver display. The Sierra's instrumentation panel is slightly smaller, at 10.25-inches. The new Seltos also has a head-up display (HUD), which is available in the Sierra only in its lower trims. Kia gets more adjustment settings for the driver's seat, but it does not have an air purifier and a cooled glove box. Talking about the audio system, the Sierra's system, at least on paper, is better with more speakers.

New Kia Seltos vs Tata Sierra: Which SUV to choose?
The prices of the top-spec variants of the new Kia Seltos and Tata Sierra have not been revealed yet and will play a key role in deciding which midsize SUV is the better option. Although both have a long list of features, the Sierra gets a slight advantage with a passenger display, more speakers, a cooled glove box and an air purifier, which makes it look more attractive. The Seltos has more seat adjustment, but even the Sierra doesn't completely miss it, which doesn't make much of a difference in everyday use. So, until the prices are revealed, the Sierra has a slight edge over the Seltos on paper.

हार्ले-डेविडसन X440 T समीक्षा: इसके लिए आवश्यक अपग्रेड – परिचय | ऑटोकार इंडिया

हार्ले-डेविडसन X440 T समीक्षा: इसके लिए आवश्यक अपग्रेड – परिचय | ऑटोकार इंडिया

पुराने X440 के साथ, हार्ले एक अच्छी दिखने वाली रोडस्टर खरीदने की कोशिश कर रहा था, लेकिन टेल सेक्शन और कुछ तत्वों पर बाद में विचार किया गया। 2025 के लिए, उन्होंने विस्तार पर ध्यान दिया है और मोटरसाइकिल के पिछले हिस्से को फिर से डिज़ाइन किया है, चारों ओर बेहतर तैयार हिस्से जोड़े हैं, और बाइक को कुछ आधुनिक तकनीकी सुविधाओं से भी सुसज्जित किया है। हमने गोवा की सड़कों और राजमार्गों पर X440 की सवारी में कुछ समय बिताया, और यहाँ हम X440T के बारे में क्या सोचते हैं।

डिज़ाइन – 9/10

पतला पिछला भाग, नए हिस्से और चारों ओर बेहतर फिनिशिंग

बाइक में दोबारा डिजाइन किया गया रियर सबफ्रेम है, जिसके दोनों तरफ चिकने पैनल, नई टेल लाइट और नई ग्रैब रेल हैं। सीट को भी रिप्रोफाइल किया गया है और ये सभी अपडेट मिलकर इसे XR1200 का सिल्हूट देते हैं जिससे यह प्रेरित है। एग्ज़ॉस्ट, जो पहले बहुत सादा दिखता था, अब नए हीट शील्ड हैं, और इसमें एक नया एंड कैन भी है।

440T के टैंक को मानक X440 की तरह बैजिंग नहीं मिलती है, लेकिन इसे एक स्पोर्टी स्टिकर मिलता है, जो फिर से XR से प्रेरित है। सामने की तरफ, आप कुछ छोटे बदलाव देख सकते हैं जैसे एलईडी हेडलाइट के शीर्ष पर एक अद्यतन पैनल, और हैंडलबार की फिनिशिंग, और राइजर अधिक प्रीमियम हैं।

हार्ले-डेविडसन X440 T समीक्षा: इसके लिए आवश्यक अपग्रेड

इसमें प्रीमियम दिखने वाले बार-एंड मिरर और हैंडलबार के लिए नए ग्रिप्स भी मिलते हैं। उस क्षेत्र में अंतर को कम करने और इसे अधिक मस्कुलर लुक देने के लिए ईंधन टैंक के सामने एक नया पैनल भी है। डिज़ाइन अपडेट में पहले की प्लास्टिक हील प्लेट की तुलना में मेटल हील प्लेट, नए फ़ुटपेग और एक अपडेटेड ब्रेक लीवर शामिल हैं।

हार्ले-डेविडसन X440 T समीक्षा: इसके लिए आवश्यक अपग्रेड

स्विंगआर्म पिवट बोल्ट और कई फास्टनिंग बोल्ट अब अधिक प्रीमियम गुणवत्ता के हैं, और चेसिस में भी बेहतर फिनिशिंग है। कुल मिलाकर, जब X440T की फिट और फिनिश की बात आती है तो हीरो/हार्ले-डेविडसन ने वास्तव में अच्छा काम किया है और अब यह एक दुबली और महीन मशीन की तरह दिखती है।

हार्ले-डेविडसन X440 T समीक्षा: इसके लिए आवश्यक अपग्रेड

चुनने के लिए चार नए रंग विकल्प हैं, जिनमें से सभी में ग्लॉस फिनिश है। इस समीक्षा के लिए हमारे पास गहरे नीले रंग का एक अच्छा शेड है। अन्य रंग विकल्पों में लाल, सफेद और काला शामिल हैं। पेंट की फिनिशिंग प्रीमियम है और धूप में चमकने पर शानदार दिखती है।

प्रदर्शन – 8/10

अब दो राइड मोड, एक ट्रैक्शन कंट्रोल सिस्टम और स्विचेबल रियर एबीएस के साथ राइड-बाय-वायर थ्रॉटल मिलता है

X440T में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण अपग्रेड में से एक X440 पर केबल थ्रॉटल की तुलना में वायर थ्रॉटल द्वारा सवारी है। इसने बाइक को दो राइडिंग मोड दिए हैं: रोड और रेन। आपको ट्रैक्शन कंट्रोल सिस्टम और स्विचेबल रियर एबीएस भी मिलता है। जब बाइक रोड मोड में होती है, तो फ्यूलिंग अच्छी होती है और टॉर्क पहले की तुलना में थोड़ा पहले आता है। यह तेज़ लगता है और शक्तिशाली टॉर्क रश त्वरित ओवरटेक की अनुमति देता है। रेन मोड में, बिजली वितरण बहुत रैखिक होता है, जिससे यह शुरुआती लोगों के लिए अच्छा होता है या जब सड़क की स्थिति खराब होती है।

हार्ले-डेविडसन X440 T समीक्षा: इसके लिए आवश्यक अपग्रेड

कुल मिलाकर, इंजन का चरित्र अच्छा है, मध्य-श्रेणी के आरपीएमएस में रखने पर यह सुचारू लगता है और इसमें राजमार्ग पर दौड़ने की क्षमता भी अच्छी है। ट्रैक्शन कंट्रोल सिस्टम अच्छी तरह से काम करता है और सड़कों के कुछ खराब हिस्सों से गुजरने के बावजूद सड़क मोड में अनावश्यक रूप से बिजली में कटौती नहीं करता है और सवारों के पास इसे बंद करने का विकल्प भी होता है। दूसरी ओर, रेन मोड में, कर्षण नियंत्रण को अधिक दखल देने वाला बनाया गया है।

हार्ले-डेविडसन X440 T समीक्षा: इसके लिए आवश्यक अपग्रेड

राइड बाय वायर थ्रॉटल अपडेट के साथ, हार्ले ने बाइक की आवाज़ को थोड़ा बेहतर बनाने के लिए एक हल्की धुन भी जोड़ी है। इसलिए जब आप डाउनशिफ्टिंग कर रहे होते हैं, तो आपको एग्जॉस्ट से कुछ पॉप और धमाके सुनाई देते हैं, जो सवारी के अनुभव को और अधिक आकर्षक बनाता है।

सवारी गुणवत्ता – 8/10

खराब सड़कों पर आलीशान और राजमार्ग पर यात्रा करने के लिए पर्याप्त आरामदायक

X440 से मिले फीडबैक के आधार पर, हार्ले ने सस्पेंशन की डंपिंग पर फिर से काम किया है क्योंकि बड़े उभार की स्थिति में सामने वाला हिस्सा नीचे की ओर आ जाता था। अपडेटेड सेटअप आलीशान लगता है और बाइक उबड़-खाबड़ सतहों और खराब सड़कों पर भी आसानी से चलने में सक्षम है।

हार्ले-डेविडसन X440 T समीक्षा: इसके लिए आवश्यक अपग्रेड

सवार का त्रिकोण वही बना हुआ है और खड़ी भारी बाइक होने के बावजूद, चलते समय वजन महसूस नहीं होता है और हैंडलिंग के मामले में भी यह प्रभावशाली है। 57 किलो वजन का हल्का निर्माण होने के कारण, सस्पेंशन मेरे लिए अच्छा लगा, लेकिन भारी सवारों को खराब गड्ढों या उच्च गति पर स्पीडब्रेकर से टकराने पर अभी भी सामने वाले को यात्रा से बाहर होने का एहसास हो सकता है।

विशेषताएँ – 8/10

इस सेगमेंट में मानक X440 की तुलना में बेहतर सुसज्जित है

स्टाइलिंग और राइड-बाय-वायर ट्रैक्शन कंट्रोल और स्विचेबल रियर एबीएस जैसी सुविधाओं के अलावा, इसमें एक नया पैनिक ब्रेक लाइट अलर्ट सिस्टम भी मिलता है, जो एक ही बार में सभी संकेतकों को संलग्न करता है और वे आमतौर पर संकेतक या खतरनाक लाइटों की तुलना में बहुत तेज गति से झपकाते हैं।

हार्ले-डेविडसन X440 T समीक्षा: इसके लिए आवश्यक अपग्रेड

बाइक में समान 3.5 इंच की टीएफटी स्क्रीन है, इसमें जानकारी अच्छी तरह से दी गई है और मेनू तक पहुंचना आसान है। राइड मोड को चलते-फिरते स्विच किया जा सकता है और बाइक ब्लूटूथ कनेक्टिविटी से भी लैस है जो कॉल और एसएमएस अलर्ट, फोन बैटरी स्थिति और संगीत नियंत्रण को सक्षम करती है। कुल मिलाकर फीचर्स के मामले में यह बाइक काफी अच्छी है

फैसला- 8/10

अब सवारी करना अधिक आकर्षक है, लेकिन इसकी कीमत प्रीमियम है

2.79 लाख रुपये (एक्स-शोरूम) की कीमत पर, X440T, X440 के टॉप-स्पेक वेरिएंट की तुलना में लगभग 24,000 रुपये अधिक महंगा है और बाइक एक दूसरे के साथ बेची जाएंगी। बेस स्पोक व्हील वेरिएंट को X440 लाइनअप से बंद कर दिया गया है।

मूल्य निर्धारण
नमूना कीमत
X440 विविड 2,34,500 रुपये
X440 एस 2,54,900 रुपये
X440 टी 2,79,500 रुपये

भले ही हीरो और हार्ले ने 350 सीसी से ऊपर की बाइक के लिए जीएसटी 2.0 के बाद मूल्य वृद्धि को अवशोषित करने का विकल्प चुना है, एक्स 440 टी क्लासिक 350 की तुलना में काफी अधिक महंगा है और स्पीड 400 और गुरिल्ला 450 जैसे अधिक शक्तिशाली प्रतिद्वंद्वियों से ऊपर भी है।

हार्ले-डेविडसन X440 T समीक्षा: इसके लिए आवश्यक अपग्रेड

इस अपडेट के साथ बाइक निश्चित रूप से काफी बेहतर दिखती है। यह पीछे के छोर से अधिक आनुपातिक है, इसमें चारों ओर अधिक प्रीमियम फिनिशिंग है, और अब इसमें एक सिल्हूट है जो XR 1200 से अधिक मेल खाता है। वायर थ्रॉटल, ट्रैक्शन कंट्रोल और स्विचेबल एबीएस जैसी आधुनिक सुविधाओं के साथ, संपूर्ण सवारी अनुभव अधिक आकर्षक है और संक्षेप में कहें तो, यह वही है जो X440 को शुरू से ही होना चाहिए था।

The hero has arrived and dominated! Ola also got washed away, Vida brand sold 1 lakh electric scooters

The hero has arrived and dominated! Ola also got washed away, Vida brand sold 1 lakh electric scooters

New Delhi. For the first time since entering the electric two-wheeler market three years ago, Hero MotorCorp's Vida brand has crossed the sales mark of 1 lakh units in a calendar year. According to the latest retail sales data available on the Vahan portal, a total of 1,00,383 Vida e-scooters were delivered to customers between January 1 and December 5. Moreover, the total sales of Vida e-scooter have crossed 1.50 lakh units since the brand launch in October 2022.

8% market share
Hero's electric sales journey so far: Currently, Vida has 8 percent market share. 2025 got off to a slow start, with only 1,626 units sold in January. But monthly sales remained more than 6,000 units for four consecutive months from March to June. In July, sales crossed 10,000 units for the first time (10,548 units), and Vida maintained this pace for the next five months.

Highest Monthly Sale
In October 2025, Vida recorded its highest monthly sales in the domestic market with 16,017 units. This impressive performance was also reflected in VIDA's manufacturers rankings: from seventh in January to sixth in February and fifth in March, which it maintained through October. Last month, Vida secured the fourth position, leaving behind Ola Electric.

Battery-as-a-Service Model
VX2 drives Vida's growth, benefiting from low price and battery-as-a-service model and the launch of the family-centric VX2 in July 2025. The company also has a sporty looking V2 in its portfolio. The VX2 and V2 are almost identical in terms of battery, motor and other mechanical parts, but there are two main differences.

left Ola behind
First, the design of VX2 is similar to the traditional family scooters sold in India. Second and most importantly, its purchase price is already quite aggressive, but when purchased through the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, this price becomes even lower. Due to this, Vida's growth accelerated in the second half of the year and in terms of monthly sales, the company easily left behind the continuously falling Ola Electric.

Buy a car in December due to discount or wait, clear your confusion!

Buy a car in December due to discount or wait, clear your confusion!

New Delhi. In December, many car manufacturing companies offer great discounts and other benefits on their remaining stock. But still many buyers avoid buying a new car this month. Why does this happen? And can you buy your car in December? Best Deals: Usually in December, many dealers and brands offer attractive deals and discounts on their models. Many best-selling models also see big price cuts this month. For example, MG has introduced 'Midnight Carnival', in which discounts, benefits and gifts are being given on every model. Apart from this, many brands attract buyers by giving 'year end' discounts on their car models, and these benefits are limited to this month only. Seeing such deals, any person who is thinking of buying a new car in the coming months can book the car immediately so that he can get great benefits. But still many people avoid buying a new car in December. Why?

resale value
Nowadays, most buyers definitely look at the resale value of a car before buying it. Now, buying a car this month reduces the value of the model a little more. Only model year 2025 will be written in your RC, even if it is of December. Apart from this, manufacturing companies stop the production of some models in the last months of the year so that there is no stock left for the next year. So if you buy a new car and take delivery this month, you may get a lower value due to the manufacturing year. Also, you may get a car that was manufactured a few months ago because the manufacturer may have stopped production for some time and has not shipped new stock.

Is it beneficial to wait?
Now, after reading all this, many people may postpone the plan of buying a car this month and wait for the new stock in January 2026. But if we say that there is harm in waiting? Yes, at the beginning of the new year, car manufacturing companies increase the prices of their cars. So by waiting, not only will you lose deals, but you may also have to pay more than the old price.

Confusion in taking decision?
If you are thinking of keeping the vehicle for a long time, i.e. 5-6 years or more, then you can buy the car this month. If you're unsure how long you'll keep the car, you may want to take the time to consider whether last year's manufacturing might hurt resale value down the road. If you don't care much about last year's manufacturing, then you can easily book your model and get better discounts.

unsold inventory
There are some people who are in a dilemma whether to buy a car this year or not. For them, if they miss the time to book the model this year, they can still get a car of last year's manufacture next year. For example, MY2025 car models may get better and more benefits next year compared to MY2026 models. The reason for this is the unsold inventory of the dealers, which they focus on clearing.
