KTM ने 160 Duke का नया टॉप-स्पेक वेरिएंट लॉन्च किया है, जिसकी कीमत 1.79 लाख रुपये है। इसमें एक टीएफटी डैश है, जो मौजूदा 390 ड्यूक से लिया गया है।

KTM 160 Duke टॉप वैरिएंट: नया क्या है?
एलसीडी डैश वाला बेस वेरिएंट अभी भी इस नए वेरिएंट के साथ बेचा जाएगा
इस साल की शुरुआत में, केटीएम ने 160 ड्यूक लॉन्च किया जो पूर्ववर्ती 125 ड्यूक की जगह लेगा और साथ ही ड्यूक परिवार में प्रवेश-बिंदु के रूप में भी काम करेगा। इससे ब्रांड को विस्थापन और प्रदर्शन के तुलनीय स्तर की पेशकश करते हुए यामाहा एमटी -15 को बेहतर ढंग से लेने में मदद मिली। हालाँकि, 160 ड्यूक के लॉन्च के तुरंत बाद, यामाहा ने MT-15 को एक नए टॉप-स्पेक वेरिएंट के साथ अपडेट किया, जिसमें TFT डैश की पेशकश की गई, जिससे यामाहा को फीचर्स डिपार्टमेंट में बढ़त मिल गई क्योंकि 160 ड्यूक को केवल एलसीडी डैश के साथ लॉन्च किया गया था।
अब हालांकि, केटीएम ने एक नया टॉप-स्पेक वैरिएंट लॉन्च किया है जिसमें टीएफटी डैश है जिसे सीधे 390 ड्यूक से चुना गया है। इस अपडेट के बाद, सभी भारतीय निर्मित ड्यूक रेंज में अब टीएफटी डैश का विकल्प है। दोनों मॉडलों पर 4-वे स्विचगियर समान रहता है।
ब्लूटूथ कनेक्टिविटी और ऐप-सपोर्ट के साथ फीचर-सेट समान रहता है। केटीएम ऐप के साथ जोड़े जाने पर कनेक्टिविटी फ़ंक्शन सवारों को संगीत चलाने, इनकमिंग कॉल लेने और बारी-बारी नेविगेशन की अनुमति देते हैं।
1.78 लाख रुपये की कीमत पर, यह टॉप-स्पेक वैरिएंट बेस-वेरिएंट से ऊपर बैठता है, जिसकी कीमत 1.71 लाख रुपये बनी हुई है, जो कि 7,000 रुपये की कीमत प्रीमियम है। MT-15 के वेरिएंट की तुलना में जो TFT डैश प्रदान करता है, Duke 160 13,000 रुपये महंगा है, लेकिन यह उच्च-रिज़ॉल्यूशन और क्रिस्प ग्राफिक्स के साथ 5-इंच का बड़ा डैश भी प्रदान करता है, जबकि MT-15 में FZ-S FI हाइब्रिड व्युत्पन्न 4.2-इंच TFT डैश मिलता है।
New Delhi. Something amazing has been witnessed in the Indian Passenger Vehicle (PV) market. Only once in the 40 years from 1985 to 2024 has a sedan topped India's annual car sales chart. This happened in 2018, when Maruti Suzuki Dezire became the best-selling car in the country. Sedans are going to top the sales charts once again in 2025. Once again this model is Maruti Suzuki Dezire. Even after so many years, no other sedan has been able to compete with it.
Creta left behind The country's largest car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki India has sold 1,95,416 units of Dezire in the domestic market between January and November this year. This is 7,448 units ahead of the second model, which is Hyundai Motor India's popular SUV Creta, which has sold 1,87,968 units. Dezire is going to become number one at a time when the sedan segment is facing tough competition from the SUV segment. The PV market share of sedans is less than 10%, while SUVs contribute about 55%.

Why is Desire popular? An industry expert told Moneycontrol, “The reason for Dzire's popularity in India is its price, positioning and scale. It falls in the compact sedan segment, which gives it more boot space than a hatchback without increasing the price too much. It also benefits from Maruti Suzuki's strong sales and service network, be it in urban or rural areas.”
Multiple powertrain options Another expert said, “Multiple powertrain options have also increased its appeal. Low running cost, easy maintenance and strong resale value are its specialties. Due to frequent updates, Dezire has remained popular in the Indian market despite the changing tastes of the market.”
price Price of Maruti Suzuki Dezire The ex-showroom price of Dezire ranges between Rs 6,25,600 to Rs 9,31,300. It also has a commercial variant Tour S, whose price ranges from Rs 6,23,800 to Rs 7,09,800 (ex-showroom). After the change in GST rate, the price of Dezire has been reduced by up to Rs 87,700. At the same time, the price of Tour S has decreased by Rs 67,200.
Engine and Mileage Engine and Mileage of Maruti Suzuki Dezire This car has a 1.2 liter, three cylinder petrol engine, which first came in the Swift hatchback. This engine gives power of 81.58 PS and torque of 111.7 Nm. Customers can choose between a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed AMT. Its CNG variant is also available, which gives power of 69.75 PS and torque of 101.8 Nm and comes with 5-speed manual transmission. Fuel efficiency is also a big factor in this segment. Maruti Suzuki claims that the petrol manual variant gives a mileage of 24.79 km per liter. The mileage of petrol AMT variant is 25.71 km per liter. The CNG manual variant gives a mileage of 33.73 km per kg.
Fortuner is one of the favorite cars of many people in India. Especially when it comes to luxury SUV, Toyota Fortuner is considered the first choice. Many common middle class people also dream of buying it. But have you ever thought how expensive it can be to keep this car and drive it daily?
Usually people just look at the price of the car, but the real game starts after buying the car. Expenses are distributed everywhere from insurance to maintenance, fuel, parking. If you calculate an average, the cost of owning a Fortuner can be heavy on your pocket. Fortuner comes at a price of around ₹ 55 lakh and if you drive it daily, what will be the total running cost in a month, let us tell you the complete details about it.
driver salary
According to Ankur Wariko's YouTube video, most people hire drivers for cars like Fortuner. Considering the expensive vehicle and safety, the driver salary for these cars is also high. The average salary of a Fortuner driver is considered to be around ₹ 25,000 per month. That means Rs 3 lakh is spent on the driver alone in a year.
diesel cost
SUVs have low mileage and high fuel costs. If the Fortuner drives about 50 kilometers a day, then about ₹ 15,000 is spent only on diesel in a month. However, if the car remains stuck in city traffic or travels a lot on the highway, this expense can increase further.
insurance expenses
Insurance of luxury cars is also not a small expense. The average EMI of insurance for Fortuner is around ₹ 8,000 per month. This cost may vary slightly depending on the age, model and claim history of the vehicle.
car maintenance
Being an SUV, the maintenance cost of Fortuner is also quite high. On an average, it costs ₹ 6,000 per month for servicing like brake pads, suspension and wheel alignment. As the vehicle gets older, this expense may gradually increase.
parking charge
SUV parking fares are very high in big cities. A big car like Fortuner requires a secure space, where the average rent is assumed to be Rs 5,000 per month. If you live in a working area, this price may be even higher.
Cleaning and Car Care
It is not easy to handle big vehicles. On average, Rs 3,000 per month is spent on daily washing and polishing.
Tolls and other small expenses
If you add toll tax, time-to-time repairs, punctures, minor defects, new fines, car accessories and other miscellaneous expenses, the expenses add up to around Rs 6,000 more every month.
This much will be spent every month
Adding all these expenses, the total cost of running a Fortuner in a month comes to around ₹ 68,000. That means it will cost approximately ₹ 4,000 every day.
If the price of the car is considered to be around ₹55 lakh and the monthly running cost can be around ₹68,000, then the total expenditure in five years comes to around ₹96 lakh. This means that in five years after purchasing the car, you can spend around ₹ 70 lakh only on this car.
Why is it expensive to drive a Fortuner?
Fortuner is a high-class SUV, which has a big engine. Apart from this the fuel mileage is less. Additionally, service parts are expensive and items like tires and brakes have a short life. Their insurance and taxes are also higher.
In this sense, owning a Fortuner is not just a hobby but also an expensive responsibility. In India, where the middle class spends a major part of its income on EMIs and necessities, a luxury car makes one spend ₹ 4,000 daily. So if you are thinking of buying a Fortuner, then make the purchase by paying attention not only to the purchasing budget but also to its daily budget.
Amid stringent safety norms, Tesla's Cybertruck has achieved the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating for 2025, putting it ahead of segment leaders like the Ford F-150.
The Tesla Cybertruck is one of only two pickup trucks to receive an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating in 2025.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) recently published its final set of safety ratings for 2025, and among the 16 vehicles earning awards this year, the Tesla Cybertruck stands out for more reasons than one. The all-electric pickup earned the Top Safety Pick+ rating, the only two pickup trucks to achieve it this year along with the Toyota Tundra Crew Cab. The result is especially notable given that several high-volume models, including the Ford F-150, Jeep Gladiator and Ram 1500 Crew Cab, failed to qualify under the latest criteria.
The IIHS tested 20 new vehicles as part of the final cycle, with awards reserved for models that met stringent standards in factors such as crashworthiness, pedestrian protection and headlamp ratings. To earn the top-tier “Plus” rating, a “Good” rating was mandatory in both the small overlap front crash and side impact tests, as well as acceptable or good performance in pedestrian front crash prevention and headlights in all trims. The Cybertruck met these limitations after undergoing major structural updates in the middle of the model year.
How did the Cybertruck perform?
According to IIHS evaluation data, Tesla introduced changes to the Cybertruck's front underbody structure and footwell, beginning with models manufactured after April 2025. These updates were intended to improve passenger safety in driver-side small overlap front crashes, which has become increasingly challenging with increasingly strict protocols. With these modifications, the Cybertruck achieved “Good” ratings in the small overlap front, moderate overlap front, and side impact tests.
The electric pickup also performed strongly in crash avoidance and mitigation assessments. Its pedestrian front crash prevention system and headlights were both rated “Good”, meeting one of the main criteria for Top Safety Pick+ eligibility. While secondary evaluations such as seat belt reminder effectiveness and LATCH ease of use were rated Marginal and Acceptable, respectively, these factors do not currently impact award eligibility, although they may still matter to buyers.

rising safety standards
The Cybertruck delivers a total combined output of 845 hp when Beast Mode is activated. The front-drive unit alone produces approximately 300 hp. And though it may be big, Tesla says the Cybertruck can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.
The Cybertruck's validation comes at a time when traditional pickups have found it difficult to adapt to evolving safety standards. Models like the F-150 and Ram 1500 weren't honored this year not because of a lack of safety equipment, but because of the difficulty in meeting new scenarios. This highlights how structural and platform-level updates are becoming essential for top security ratings.
It is worth noting that, while the Cybertruck managed to receive the top safety award from the IIHS, it still does not meet European standards of safety. As of the end of 2025, the model is not officially sold in the region. European regulations place strict requirements on pedestrian protection, impact absorption area and outer edge radius, all of which conflict with the Cybertruck's angular stainless-steel bodywork.
Additionally, it weighs approximately 3.5 tonnes, requiring speed limiters and reinforced braking systems. The Cybertruck doesn't currently have these, and there's no official word on whether Tesla is actively developing a version that meets EU standards.
For now, the Cybertruck remains a North America-focused product, where its unconventional design suits American safety standards. Despite the polarizing form factor, the pickup still manages to meet some of the most demanding benchmarks currently in place, something that even the best-selling models in the segment are struggling to achieve.

निसान कल भारत के लिए अपनी ट्राइबर-आधारित सब-4एम एमपीवी का अनावरण करेगा, संभवतः फरवरी 2026 में इसके नियोजित लॉन्च से पहले डिज़ाइन स्केच और नाम का खुलासा किया जाएगा।
निसान की आने वाली कारों में से पहली एक अद्वितीय डिज़ाइन वाली रेनॉल्ट ट्राइबर पर आधारित सात सीटों वाली बी-एमपीवी होगी।
निसान कल भारतीय बाजार के लिए अपनी नई सब-4 मीटर एमपीवी का अनावरण करने के लिए तैयार है। आगामी मॉडल भारत के लिए निसान का पहला मास-मार्केट सात-सीटर एमपीवी होगा और यह पर आधारित होगा रेनॉल्ट ट्राइबरजिसके साथ यह अपने मुख्य प्लेटफॉर्म और मैकेनिकल को साझा करेगा।
निसान भारत में एक नई बी-एमपीवी और दो एसयूवी लॉन्च करेगी
अब तक, निसान ने वाहन की केवल आंशिक छवियां ही जारी की हैं, जो इसके अंतिम डिज़ाइन के बारे में सीमित जानकारी प्रदान करती हैं। के साथ ब्रांड के हालिया दृष्टिकोण के आधार पर टेक्टन कॉम्पैक्ट एसयूवी अवधारणा, यह संभावना है कि कल का अनावरण पूर्ण उत्पाद अनावरण के बजाय डिजाइन स्केच पर केंद्रित होगा। प्रेजेंटेशन के दौरान निसान द्वारा एमपीवी के आधिकारिक नाम की घोषणा करने की भी उम्मीद है।
नई एमपीवी भारत के लिए निसान की व्यापक उत्पाद रणनीति का हिस्सा है, जिसके तहत कंपनी अगले दो वर्षों में तीन नए मॉडल पेश करने की योजना बना रही है। ट्राइबर-आधारित एमपीवी इनमें से पहली होगी और फरवरी 2026 में लॉन्च होने वाली है। इसके बाद टेक्टन कॉम्पैक्ट एसयूवी होगी, जो इस पर आधारित है। रेनॉल्ट डस्टर प्लेटफ़ॉर्म, जिसके जून 2026 के आसपास आने की उम्मीद है। पाइपलाइन में तीसरा उत्पाद एक नई सात-सीटर एसयूवी है, जो 2027 की शुरुआत में लॉन्च होने वाली है।
फीचर्स के मामले में, आगामी निसान एमपीवी से सेगमेंट के लिए प्रतिस्पर्धी उपकरण सूची पेश करने की उम्मीद है। इसमें क्रूज़ कंट्रोल, ऑटोमैटिक हेडलैंप, रेन-सेंसिंग वाइपर, सेंट्रली माउंटेड टचस्क्रीन इंफोटेनमेंट सिस्टम और एक डिजिटल इंस्ट्रूमेंट क्लस्टर शामिल होने की संभावना है।
यांत्रिक रूप से, एमपीवी अपने पावरट्रेन को इसके साथ साझा करेगी रेनॉल्ट ट्राइबर, क्योंकि यह मूलतः उसी मॉडल का रीबैज संस्करण है। इसका मतलब है कि इसमें 1.0-लीटर, तीन-सिलेंडर, नेचुरली एस्पिरेटेड पेट्रोल इंजन होने की उम्मीद है जो 71 एचपी और 96 एनएम टॉर्क पैदा करता है। ट्रांसमिशन विकल्पों में 5-स्पीड मैनुअल और 5-स्पीड एएमटी शामिल होने की संभावना है।
सुरक्षा के मोर्चे पर, नई एमपीवी में छह एयरबैग मानक के रूप में पेश किए जाने की उम्मीद है। अन्य सुरक्षा सुविधाओं में प्रीटेंशनर और लोड लिमिटर्स के साथ सीटबेल्ट, ISOFIX चाइल्ड सीट एंकर पॉइंट और टायर प्रेशर मॉनिटरिंग सिस्टम शामिल होने की संभावना है।
निसान की मौजूदा लाइनअप में दो एसयूवी शामिल हैं
वर्तमान में, निसान के भारत लाइनअप में शामिल हैं मैग्नाइट कॉम्पैक्ट एसयूवी और X ट्रेल. मैग्नाइट की कीमत के बीच है ₹5.61 लाख और ₹8.47 लाख (एक्स-शोरूम), जबकि एक्स-ट्रेल को एक पूरी तरह से आयातित वैरिएंट में बेचा जाता है ₹48.20 लाख.
जेएसडब्ल्यू एमजी मोटर अभी लॉन्च हुआ है एक और नया रूप के लिए हेक्टरअपने साथ मामूली कॉस्मेटिक बदलाव और कुछ आंतरिक उन्नयन लेकर आया है। अतिरिक्त सुविधाओं के बावजूद, एमजी ने एक्जीक्यूटिव एसयूवी की कीमतों में भारी कटौती की है, खासकर स्टाइल बेस वेरिएंट के लिए, जो अब 2 लाख रुपये से अधिक किफायती है। नतीजतन, हेक्टर की शुरुआती कीमत अब मध्यम आकार की एसयूवी के करीब है टाटा सिएरा. लेकिन कौन अपने बेस वैरिएंट में अधिक पावरट्रेन विकल्प, सुविधाएँ और सुरक्षा तकनीक प्रदान करता है: हेक्टर या सिएरा? पता लगाने के लिए पढ़ते रहे।

जब बाहरी फीचर्स की बात आती है, तो सिएरा का बेस वेरिएंट कुछ प्रमुख क्षेत्रों में अधिक आधुनिक है। इसमें एलईडी प्रोजेक्टर हेडलैंप और फ्लश-फिटिंग डोर हैंडल मिलते हैं, जबकि एमजी हेक्टर स्टाइल में बेसिक हैलोजन लाइट और स्टैंडर्ड पुल-टाइप हैंडल मिलते हैं। दोनों एसयूवी एलईडी डेटाइम रनिंग लैंप (डीआरएल) के साथ आती हैं, लेकिन इन वेरिएंट में फ्रंट फॉग लैंप की सुविधा नहीं है।
वे 17 इंच के स्टील पहियों पर चलते हैं, हालांकि हेक्टर थोड़े आकर्षक लुक के लिए व्हील कवर जोड़ता है। पीछे की तरफ, सिएरा एलईडी टेल-लाइट्स के साथ फिर से अधिक प्रीमियम महसूस करती है, जो एक लाइट बार से जुड़ी होती हैं, जबकि हेक्टर बल्ब और एलईडी के मिश्रण का उपयोग करता है।

निर्णय
एक कार्यकारी एसयूवी होने के नाते, ऊंचाई को छोड़कर, एमजी हेक्टर में टाटा सिएरा की तुलना में काफी बड़ा पदचिह्न है, और यह अधिक आंतरिक स्थान में तब्दील हो जाता है। यदि आंतरिक स्थान दक्षता से अधिक मायने रखता है, तो एमजी हेक्टर स्टाइल थोड़ी अधिक कीमत पर भी यह एक मजबूत मामला बनता है। सुविधाओं के मामले में, प्रत्येक की बाहर और अंदर की अपनी-अपनी ताकत होती है, जबकि दोनों में सुरक्षा उपकरण लगभग समान होते हैं।
जहां सिएरा स्पष्ट रूप से पावरट्रेन विकल्प में स्कोर करती है। हेक्टर के बेस वेरिएंट में डीजल इंजन की कमी है टाटा सिएरा स्मार्ट+ ऑफर. यदि आपकी सूची में ईंधन दक्षता अधिक है, तो सिएरा डीजल और यहां तक कि इसके प्राकृतिक रूप से एस्पिरेटेड पेट्रोल इंजन, जो ईंधन-दक्षता-केंद्रित एटकिंसन चक्र चलाता है, को बढ़त मिलनी चाहिए। जैसा कि कहा गया है, किसी भी कंपनी ने अभी तक आधिकारिक माइलेज आंकड़े प्रकट नहीं किए हैं, इसलिए संख्याएं अज्ञात बनी हुई हैं।
New Delhi. The coming few weeks are going to be very busy for the automobile sector. Many new products are going to be launched in the electric and ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) segment. Seven big launches will be seen in the next six weeks. Come, let's take a look at these upcoming cars.
Tata Harrier and Safari Petrol Tata Motors will launch petrol variants of Harrier and Safari in the coming weeks.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to Ethiopia on Tuesday and Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abiy Ahmed Ali welcomed him at Addis Ababa International Airport. Along with this, he himself took PM Modi to the hotel in his car. Many pictures of PM Modi and the Ethiopian PM sitting and talking in the car have gone viral. Let us tell you that the car in which both of them went was a Range Rover of Tata Group.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi started his three-country tour on Monday. Under this tour, he first reached Jordan. Then after this he went to Ethiopia and Ethiopian Prime Minister Dr. Abi Ahmed Ali welcomed Modi at Addis Ababa International Airport. He also took Modi to the hotel in his car. The car in which both of them went to the hotel was a Range Rover car.

BYD की ओसियन श्रृंखला ने वैश्विक स्तर पर संचयी रूप से छह मिलियन यूनिट का आंकड़ा पार कर लिया है। ओसियन लाइनअप कंपनी के लिए एक प्रमुख विकास चालक के रूप में उभरा है, जो बीवाईडी की डायनेस्टी श्रृंखला के साथ है। एक इसके दो मुख्य उत्पाद परिवारों में से।

कंपनी ने यह भी घोषणा की कि उसका 15 मिलियनवाँ नया ऊर्जा वाहन जल्द ही उत्पादन लाइन को बंद करने के लिए तैयार है, जो वैश्विक ईवी उद्योग में BYD के पैमाने को रेखांकित करता है।
व्यक्तिगत मॉडलों में, BYD डॉल्फ़िन ने मानक स्थापित करना जारी रखा है। कंपनी ने पुष्टि की कि डॉल्फिन का उत्पादन दस लाख यूनिट से अधिक हो गया है, जिससे यह चीनी बाजार में इस मील के पत्थर तक पहुंचने वाला ए0 इलेक्ट्रिक सेगमेंट में सबसे तेज़ मॉडल बन गया है।
इस महीने की शुरुआत में, BYD ने यह भी घोषणा की थी कि वैश्विक स्तर पर डॉल्फिन की बिक्री एक मिलियन का आंकड़ा पार कर गई है, जो सॉन्ग के बाद ऐसा करने वाला तीसरा ओशन सीरीज़ मॉडल बन गया है। प्लस और सीगल.

भारत में BYD की उपस्थिति
भारत में, BYD का पदचिह्न अपेक्षाकृत विशिष्ट लेकिन रणनीतिक रूप से स्थित है। कंपनी फिलहाल ऑफर करती है अत्तो 3 इलेक्ट्रिक एसयूवी, सील इलेक्ट्रिक सेडान, सीलिओन 7 इलेक्ट्रिक एसयूवी और ई6 इलेक्ट्रिक एमपीवी. ये मॉडल बड़े पैमाने पर प्रीमियम निजी खरीदारों और बेड़े ऑपरेटरों को पूरा करते हैं, मूल्य निर्धारण के साथ उन्हें घरेलू निर्माताओं के बड़े पैमाने पर बाजार ईवी से ऊपर रखा जाता है।
हालाँकि BYD ने सील 08 या सीलियन 08 के लिए भारत-विशिष्ट योजनाओं का संकेत नहीं दिया है, उनकी प्रीमियम स्थिति भारत के उच्च-स्तरीय ईवी सेगमेंट के क्रमिक विस्तार के साथ संरेखित है। जैसे-जैसे चार्जिंग बुनियादी ढांचे में सुधार होता है और उपभोक्ता की रुचि बड़े, अधिक तकनीकी रूप से उन्नत इलेक्ट्रिक वाहनों की ओर बढ़ती है, ऐसे वैश्विक फ्लैगशिप अंततः प्रासंगिक हो सकते हैं भारतीय बाज़ार।
