And now Tata has done it again by bringing back the Sierra. Only this time it is safer, looks more modern and includes more technology. It all comes at a starting price 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom), which, against the backdrop of its rivals, actually looks more attractive. But the Sierra promises much more than its rivals. More in terms of appearance, the Sierra also brings more space and history associated with the tag.
The Sierra letters are placed at the front and rear to remind of the iconic nameplate.
However, does the Sierra have enough power to live up to its claims? Does it have enough content to justify its price? To find out exactly this, we sat in the driver's seat of the SUV. And here's what we found out:
Designed by Martin Ulharich, the design of the SUV marks a significant step up from what Tata has traditionally produced for quite some time. Towards the front, the face gets a square shape. The corners have been rounded to give it a softer look. There is a certain freshness to connected LED DRLs as they do not have an end-to-end lightbar type design. The headlamps are also sleek, being only 17 millimeters thick. However, this does not affect the performance of the beam. In fact, it's one of the brightest LED projectors I've seen on any comparable SUV. Some may also notice a slight resemblance to the SUV's distant cousin, the Defender. Personally, I don't get it; However, I could immediately notice with Sierra that panel lag was addressed.
The Sierra gets super slim headlamps without compromising on visibility.
On the side profile of the Sierra. One thing that set the original Sierra apart from other SUVs of the time was the beautiful and huge quarter glass, which extended all the way to the roof. And to make the new SUV clearly 'Sierra', Tata decided to keep it there. Although the new one has no detailed quarter glass, it tries to resemble the original by adding a piano black finish just above the quarter glass. The 19-inch alloy wheels really add to its character, setting it apart from other SUVs that offer a maximum size of 18 inches. It is painted in Piano Black color around the wheel arches and the entire lower part of the car. This is an unconventional choice from Tata, as piano black tends to tarnish very easily.
From the side the Sierra looks like a daring yet futuristic SUV.
Going behind the car, for reasons unknown, the SUV reminds me of Iron Man's mask. It gets a flat rear end with slim single-piece LED tail lamp, which gives a futuristic touch to this SUV. The clamshell-boot door opening is also unique, allowing easy access to the SUV's 622-litre boot. The boot door is electronically operated and has gesture control for convenience. There's a bit of boot loading that gets in the way of things, but it's not big enough to be a problem.
The boot of Tata Sierra has been designed in such a way that it is suitable for use in most places.
One of the most attractive elements of the Tata Sierra is its color palette. It is offered in six options, which include Andaman Adventure (Bright Yellow), Bengal Rouge (Bright Red), Coorg Clouds (Metallic Silver), Munnar Mist (Colour Changing Dark Green), Pristine White and Pure Grey. We traveled around the city in Andaman Adventure and Bengal Rouge shades, and the car attracted people like bees on blueberry cheesecake. The SUV was attracting attention partly because of its iconic nameplate, but the colors were also adding fuel to the fire.
The colors of Tata Sierra attract attention on the road.
Tata Sierra: Performance and driving dynamics
We tested the newly engineered 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine along with the existing 1.5 diesel powertrain in Tata's portfolio on this new SUV. Keeping the best in mind for last, let's start with the diesel.
The 1.5-litre Cryojet is a familiar powertrain brought over from the Curve. Tata hasn't made much changes here; The engine senses torque and pulls in a linear manner. There is a small amount of turbo lag at start, which is a characteristic of turbocharged vehicles. The refinement levels of this engine are also something one can write home about, as it doesn't feel like a diesel unless pushed very hard. This engine of Sierra can be paired with 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Now, the 6-speed automatic is a brand-new Japanese torque-converter transmission manufactured by Aisin. Now the transmission works well when driving comfortably around town. It shifts smoothly and downshifts quickly for overtakes. However, when you want it to be in manual mode, the transmission allows only superficial control. Once you step on the accelerator, it holds the gear until you reach redline and then upshifts for you, which is neither necessarily a good thing nor a bad thing. It also does not allow 'money-transfer'; The transmission keeps it safe even in manual mode.
A total of three engine options and three transmission options are available in Tata Sierra.
Enough of that, now let's address the elephant in the room and talk about the 1.5-litre Hyperion engine. I'm also eager to tell you about it, because it's more fun to drive than a diesel. And that's very admirable, considering that diesel engines tend to push people into their seats once the turbos are spooled up. The new Hyperion brings a new life to the Tata Sierra with its spirited character. The Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) gives the SUV even better low-end pull than the diesel. The engine pulls and pulls some more, and doesn't stop pulling. If you're keen enough there's a subtle amount of turbo whirring that can be heard, making the drive all the more satisfying for an enthusiast. It accelerates from 0-100 kmph in just 10 seconds, and that's an impressive feat for an SUV that stands 1.7 meters tall and weighs close to 1.5 tonnes.
The Tata Sierra handles rough roads well without moving around too much.
With a ground clearance of 205 mm, you feel confident in the SUV driving around large speed bumps and rough roads. Talking about rough patches, the suspension has been tuned on the soft side and it absorbs bumps even at high speeds of 60 kmph. Tata claims that they have integrated the technology and tuned the suspension in such a way that even if you are driving at highway speeds, the car will absorb unexpected and sudden shocks well. The slightly softer suspension imparts slight body roll to the animal; However, it is far from being unbearable. For an SUV of this size, it grips the tarmac very well and changing direction is not too difficult.
Tata Sierra: NVH levels and interior experience
Now inside, the cabin is a great place to stay; NVH is equipped with both engine options. Diesel noise is not going to bother the passengers. Road noise insulation also seems like a job well done. There are no rattles or rattles from inside either. The Sierra feels like a well-built and premium SUV here too.
Overall, the cabin looks and feels like a very premium space with a triple-tone interior combining black, off-white and beige colours. The expansive sunroof creates a very airy cabin feel and lets you enjoy the views above you more than ever.
Tata Sierra gets triple-tone interior.
The dashboard features the Sierra's 'piece de resistance', a triple-screen setup built like one big screen. This single unit consists of a passenger screen of 12.3 inches, an infotainment screen of the same size and a driver display of 10.25 inches with all the important information. They not only look good but also provide a lot of functionality inside the SUV.
The passenger screen lets kids play games through a controller connected via Bluetooth. One can connect a set of headphones and watch a movie on this screen. However, it won't be better than the Dolby Audio installed in the car, which delivers a very premium cinematic sound experience with the help of 12 speakers.
The car is also loaded with personalization features that allow the user to preset memory function seats, ambient lighting, AC temperature and even sunroof position. All you have to do is enter the car, touch the screen and load your profile, and the car will set everything up according to your chosen preferences.
Some people may enjoy operating touchscreen climate controls, while others may be frustrated by the lack of physical controls.
The panel below the touchscreen houses a soundbar that shoots mid-range music frequencies for you. Just below this is the touch-operated dual-zone climate control panel. This panel also has touch buttons for fog lamps, hill descent control, parking lights, lock unlock and 360-degree camera functionality.
There are plenty of cubby holes all around the car to hold your bottles, cups and even a dedicated storage for your umbrella. One storage that could have been better designed is the cubby under the driver's armrest. It's a deep but narrow space, good for holding bottles but not accessible enough for other things like mints, keys, and other accessories.
Tata Sierra: Verdict
The Sierra is a big, bold, and future-proof SUV, at least for a few years. It offers great engine options which are powerful. The new automatic transmission balances affordability and maintenance costs with everyday usability and performance. The entertainment suite and air cabin are good enough to keep the family happy. It is a great all-rounder package for a family man who still wishes to stand out.

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

Along with Tata Harrier Petrol, Tata Safari Petrol will also be launched, in which the same Hyperion engine will be available. Like the five-seater model, it can also be given a 6-speed automatic transmission.
On December 15, JSW MG Motor will launch the second facelift version of Hector. Some minor changes can be seen in the new Hector, such as a new radiator grille, new 18-inch alloy wheels and an upgraded 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which will have 10 GB RAM for better performance.
On January 5, 2026, Mahindra will launch the XUV 7XO, which is the facelifted version of the XUV 700. The model with this new name and design may get several major updates including changed headlamps and taillamps, new radiator grille, new 18-inch alloy wheels and possibly three 12.3-inch HD dashboard displays.
Renault will introduce the third generation Duster in India on January 26 and it can be launched next month. The new Duster, which is already on sale in the global markets, presents a new level in terms of design, comfort, convenience and connectivity. 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder and 1.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine options can be found in it.

If you are planning to buy a car then wait! These 5 SUVs are going to be launched
New Delhi. The Indian automobile industry has registered tremendous growth on year-on-year (YoY) basis in November 2025. A total of 4,17,495 passenger vehicles were sold last month, whereas in November 2024 this figure was 3,51,592 units. In this way, YoY growth of 18.7 percent was recorded. The highest sales were seen in the SUV segment, in which Tata Nexon was on top, followed by Punch, Creta and Scorpio. Here are some key figures related to the top 10 best-selling SUVs and the monthly sales report.
Tata Nexon again becomes number 1 Tata Nexon sales stood at 22,434 units, which was 15,329 units in the same month last year. In this way a YoY growth of 46 percent was recorded. One thing that should be kept in mind here is that this figure includes the sales figures of the petrol variant of Tata Nexon as well as the electric variant. After this, Tata's very popular Punch was also at second place, whose sales were 18,753 units, whereas in November 2024 this figure was 11,779 units.

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।
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।
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.

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.
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।
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।
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।
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।
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।
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।
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।
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।

X440 विविड
2,34,500 रुपये
X440 एस
2,54,900 रुपये
X440 टी

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।
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।

security systems
The 2026 Kia Seltos offers a wide range of safety features, starting with six airbags, including front, side and curtain units. The suite also includes all-wheel disc brakes, ABS, ESC, VSM and brake assist as well as hill-start assist, downhill brake control and rollover sensor for better stability in different terrain conditions. The cabin benefits from ISOFIX rear anchors, three-point seatbelts for all occupants with reminder, child lock function and speed-sensing door locks with impact-sensing auto unlock.
The package adds a rear-view camera with dynamic guidelines, rear parking sensors, a highline tire pressure monitor, auto headlamps and a rear occupant alert system. Level-2 ADAS is offered on the top-spec HTX(A) and GTX(A) variants, which include features like collision avoidance assist and warning, lane driving assistance, 360-degree camera and blind-spot monitoring.
familiar display
The redesigned rear of the 2026 Seltos now gets sleeker LED tail-lamps and a more sculpted bumper for a wider stance.
The 2026 Kia Seltos will continue to offer the familiar trio of engines: 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre turbo-diesel. Transmission options include manual, iMT, iVT, DCT and a 6-speed torque converter for the diesel.
For 2026, the Seltos gets three traction modes – Snow, Mud and Sand. These alter traction control and drivetrain behavior based on surface conditions, increasing the SUV's usability in different terrains.
Six years after the first-generation Seltos established Kia's reputation in the Indian market, the 2026 model comes with a rugged, aggressive design and a tech-packed cabin. Full version and pricing details will be revealed closer to January 2 as Kia prepares to fully launch the second generation of its popular mid-size SUV in India.

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.
