हाथ से पेंट की गई MC20 Cielo मासेराती के फ्यूरीसेरी डिवीजन की सबसे महत्वाकांक्षी कृतियों में से एक है।
अद्वितीय मासेराती एमसी20 सिएलो “ओपेरा डी'आर्टे” को मिलानो ऑटोक्लासिका में हाथ से चित्रित अमूर्त बाहरी भाग के साथ प्रदर्शित किया गया है।

मासेराती ने इसका अनावरण कर दिया है एक-मिलानो ऑटोक्लासिका में एमसी20 सिएलो “ओपेरा डी'आर्टे” बंद, जो 21 नवंबर को फिएरा मिलानो (आरएचओ) में खुला। ब्रांड के फ्यूरीसेरी कार्यक्रम के माध्यम से बनाया गया हाथ से पेंट किया गया विशेष, इस साल के तीन दिवसीय क्लासिक-कार कार्यक्रम में प्रमुख आकर्षणों में से एक है।
कार शो में एसीआई स्टोरिको स्टैंड के बगल में है और “आर्ट कार: जब डिज़ाइन ऑटोमोबाइल से मिलता है” शीर्षक वाली चर्चा का केंद्र बिंदु है।
जबकि MC20 लाइनअप में कई विकास देखे गए हैं, जिसमें इस साल की शुरुआत में गुडवुड में प्रदर्शित अधिक चरम MCPURA संस्करण भी शामिल है, “ओपेरा डी'आर्टे” एक बहुत अलग मार्ग लेता है। अधिक गति या तेज गतिकी का पीछा करने के बजाय, मासेराती के फ़्यूओरीसेरी डिवीजन ने कलात्मक प्रयोग के लिए कार को एक खाली पृष्ठ के रूप में इस्तेमाल किया।
यह अन्य डिज़ाइन-आधारित विशेषताओं का अनुसरण करता है, लेकिन यह विशेष मॉडल अपनी अवधारणा की तीव्रता और इसमें शामिल मैन्युअल शिल्प कौशल की मात्रा के कारण अलग है।
इस थीम को कार के इंटीरियर में भी शामिल किया गया है।
मासेराती की डिज़ाइन, इंजीनियरिंग और फ्यूरीसेरी टीमों ने “ओपेरा डी'आर्टे” को विकसित करने में बारह महीने से अधिक समय बिताया। प्रारंभिक आधुनिक कला आंदोलनों से प्रेरित अमूर्त पैटर्न के साथ, पूरे बाहरी हिस्से को हाथ से चित्रित किया गया था। प्रत्येक स्ट्रोक और रंग प्लेसमेंट को जानबूझकर चुना गया था, जिससे एमसी20 सिएलो को पारंपरिक विशेष संस्करण के बजाय एक वास्तविक रोलिंग कलाकृति में बदल दिया गया।
पैलेट भी अद्वितीय से कम नहीं है। पंद्रह कस्टम-निर्मित रंग, जिनमें नीयन जैसा पीला, गहरा नारंगी और आकर्षक हरा रंग शामिल हैं। ये टोन एक पैनल से दूसरे पैनल में बदलते हैं, जिससे कंट्रास्ट और बदलाव का मिश्रण बनता है जिसकी आप सुपरकार नहीं बल्कि कैनवास पर अपेक्षा करते हैं।
अंदर भी वही कलात्मक प्रभाव जारी रहता है। निचले डैशबोर्ड में हाथ से लगाए गए एक्सेंट हैं, जबकि सीटों पर लेजर-उत्कीर्ण अलकेन्टारा की सुविधा है। कार्बन-फाइबर आवेषण और चमड़े की फिनिश अभिव्यंजक तत्वों को संतुलित करती है, और यहां तक कि पहियों को भी सब कुछ एक साथ बांधने के लिए अपने स्वयं के ग्राफिक स्पर्श मिलते हैं।
“ओपेरा डी'आर्टे” की शुरुआत “बॉटेगाफ्यूरीसेरी” के बैनर तले मासेराती और अल्फ़ा रोमियो के नए संयुक्त प्रयास पर भी प्रकाश डालती है। यह परियोजना इटली की विस्तारित “मोटर वैली”, मोडेना से ट्यूरिन और एरेसी तक शिल्प कौशल केंद्रों, डिजाइन स्टूडियो, बहाली विशेषज्ञों और प्रदर्शन डेवलपर्स को एक साथ लाती है।
Mahindra Currently there is no competitor in the market with Mahindra XEV 9S. This car can take the brand's philosophy to a new level in many cases. Many segment first features will be seen in the car which have not been seen in any electric car till now. In the coming time, the company will launch many more new EVs in the market and update its portfolio.
New Delhi. Mahindra has released a new teaser of the XEV 9S, which suggests that the upcoming 3-row electric SUV will debut with an electric Boss mode. This feature allows the second row passenger to electrically recline and slide the front passenger seat using a dedicated control panel, thereby providing ample legroom. This is a major upgrade compared to the manual Boss mode currently available in the XUV700 and shows Mahindra's intention to position the 9S as a driver-friendly electric flagship.
Mahindra XEV 9S: Exterior Design On the outside, the XEV 9S adopts a more upright and practical silhouette compared to Mahindra's other born-electric models like the BE 6 and The 9S is styled with an emphasis on maximizing interior room, resulting in a tall stance and a raised roofline. Design highlights include a closed front fascia with a connected LED DRL bar, triangle projector headlamps located low on the bumper and aero-optimized alloy wheels. At the rear, the SUV gets cleaner surfacing and sleek LED tail-lamps, which are inspired by the XUV700.
Mahindra XEV 9S: Interior Design Inside the cabin, the XEV 9S shares the overall layout of the XEV 9e but with a lighter, more premium color theme and a lounge-like ambiance. The dashboard continues with Mahindra's signature triple-screen layout, consisting of a fully digital instrument cluster, a large central infotainment display and a dedicated passenger-side screen.
What did you see in the teaser? The teaser also gives a glimpse of features like ventilated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a wireless charger, a 2-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo and soft-touch materials throughout the cabin. With the INGLO platform featuring a flat floor and sliding/reclining seats for the first and second rows, the 9S offers superior flexibility and easy access to the third row. A panoramic sunroof and a Harman Kardon audio system enhance the overall experience.
Mahindra XEV 9S: Battery and range Powertrain details have not been revealed yet, however, the XEV 9S is expected to use the same 59kWh and 79kWh LFP battery packs offered in the XEV 9e and BE 6. These units produce 231hp and 286hp respectively, both with 380Nm of torque. The larger battery pack in Mahindra's existing EVs offers a range of over 650 km, so the 9S can support ultra-fast DC charging with the same long-range capability.

What features will be available in the cheapest variant of Sierra? To buy the base model or not?
Royal Enfield revealed its Continental GT 750 prototype at the Motoverse event in Goa. This race-focused motorcycle features a new chassis, Showa suspension and a 750cc engine.
The Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 is a race-spec prototype.
Royal Enfield has showcased its new Continental GT 750 prototype at this year's Motoverse event in Goa, marking the bike's first appearance in India after the international showcase at EICMA 2025. However, the motorcycle is under development and has even been given a “testing in progress” badge at the EICMA show. It will be prepared for competitive action in the 2026 INRC season.
The motorcycle on display hints at major structural updates. It appears to use a newly engineered chassis and revised steering assembly. The suspension setup is also different. Royal Enfield has equipped the bike with Showa components tuned specifically for racing, including telescopic forks and twin rear shocks.
Since it is a pure race prototype, it may weigh less than the existing 650 platform. The braking hardware has also been upgraded, with twin discs at the front and a single disc at the rear.
New 750cc engine under development
The prototype uses an all-new 750cc parallel-twin engine. As per initial estimates the output is around 54 to 55 bhp and around 65 Nm of torque. The race bike may deliver more figures once the tuning is complete, but Royal Enfield has not revealed the final numbers. The six-speed gearbox and slipper clutch from the existing twin-cylinder line are expected to be retained.
The Royal Enfield Continental GT 750 gets a special race-style livery.
classic racer aesthetics
The GT 750 prototype is faithful to Royal Enfield's retro racing roots. It features a compact semi-fairing, a café-racer tank and a short tail section with tuck-and-roll seats. The motorcycle runs on 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in soft-compound tires suitable for track use.
Clip-on handlebars sit lower and steeper than the stock position, causing the rider to lean forward. Dual exhausts are more compact and free-flowing, benefiting from the absence of emissions-control components. Adjustable levers and suspension further underline the racing intent. Despite its performance role, the prototype continues to use a conventional fork rather than an inverted unit.
looking towards 2026
Royal Enfield is likely to unveil the production-ready Continental GT 750 at EICMA 2026. Market launch is expected near the end of that year.

New Delhi. Tata Sierra has surprised everyone by showing its presence in the compact SUV segment. The new SUV will compete with the best-seller Hyundai Creta. Today, let's take a look at the features that the Sierra has but the segment's best-seller doesn't. In the coming time, it will be interesting to see how much competition the Sierra SUV can give to the Hyundai Creta.
triple screen display Tata Sierra gets triple screen display feature for the first time in the segment. While the exact dimensions have not been revealed, it is expected to have a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen and 12.3-inch co-passenger screen. In comparison, the Hyundai Creta gets dual 10.25-inch screens for the touchscreen and instrument cluster. Apart from this, Tata Sierra also has the feature of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which is not available in Hyundai Creta.
12-speaker JBL sound system The design of Sierra has changed a lot. Compared to Hyundai Creta, it has a 12-speaker JBL sound system, whereas the Creta has an 8-speaker Bose sound system. Tata Sierra has another major feature – Sonic Shift Soundbar which is given on the dashboard itself – this feature can offer a different experience for music lovers. Extendable Thigh Support Another big upgrade on the Tata Sierra is the extendable thigh support option on the front seats, which the Creta does not have. Extended thigh-support is a very underrated feature that adds to the comfort of the SUV.
Tata Sierra Vs Hyundai Creta Features Powered Tailgate with Gesture Control The Tata Sierra gets a powered tailgate with gesture control, and the boot space of the Sierra is expected to be more than that of the Creta. However, exact dimension details will be revealed during its launch. Along with this, warning lights are also available in Sierra.
fast charging Sierra has Type-C charging and wireless charger, which is also available in Creta. But, the differentiating feature is the 65W fast charger which is included in the Sierra and not in the Creta. Tata Sierra vs Hyundai Creta Features – 19-inch alloy wheels. Tata Sierra gets 19-inch alloy wheels, which is a first in the segment. Whereas 18-inch wheels are available in Creta.
Tata Sierra launch and price Tata has already revealed the Sierra, but has not announced its price yet. However, the price of this SUV will be revealed on November 25. According to us, the price of Tata Sierra is expected to be between Rs 12 lakh to Rs 23 lakh on-road in Mumbai.
India's First Electric Car: India's first electric car Lovebird was developed by Eddy Current Controls India Ltd. in 1993. And introduced by Yaskawa Electric, REVA later gained popularity in 2001. This car created a lot of discussion after its launch. But at that time there were many reasons due to which it could not survive in the market for long. However, some experts believe that Reva was India's first electric car.
New Delhi. The craze for electric cars is increasing rapidly all over the world including India. Almost all major automobile brands have launched their electric models in India. Among these, Mahindra and Tata have prepared a very large electric portfolio. But do you know that electric cars have not been launched in India yet. This journey is quite old. 32 years old, yes! You will be surprised to know that in the year 1993 i.e. 32 years ago, India's first electric car was presented for the first time in the Auto Expo. Eddy Current Controls (India) Ltd. Had prepared this car in collaboration with Yaskawa Electric Company of Japan.
First Electric Car: Lovebird
USP:
It was a 2-seater car. It gave a range of about 60 kilometers on full charge. Its top speed was around 40-50 km per hour. It took about 8 hours to get fully charged.
Why was it closed?
There were several main reasons behind Lovebird not being successful in India, lack of charging infrastructure: There were no charging stations in India at that time. High input cost and low sales: At that time the technology of EV was in its initial stages. Due to this, the production cost was very high and its sales were also very low at that time, due to which the manufacturer had to stop its production. Old Battery Technology: Lead-acid batteries were used in it, which were heavy and gave less range. Electricity problem: In the 90s, there were frequent power cuts in many parts of India, due to which people were hesitant in buying electric vehicles. Lack of government support: Initially the government had given subsidy, but later it was removed, due to which the price of the car increased further.
Another famous electric car:
Many people consider REVA to be India's first electric car, which was launched in 2001 and played an important role in popularizing electric cars. However, Lovebird (1993) had already come before that. It was considered a city car. It was specially designed for city traffic. Small size, great for tight turns and easy to maneuver. It introduced technologies like electric motor, battery management system and regenerative braking in India. REVA was one of the first Indian automotive products to be exported to more than 26 countries, earning it global recognition. Its success and shortcomings provided the basis for Mahindra to develop the e2o and subsequent all-electric models (e.g. eVerito), which later became Mahindra Electric Mobility Limited.

Want a high mileage car in a tight budget? India's cheapest 5 CNG SUVs
मुंबई की अपनी लय है – समान रूप से अराजकता और आकर्षण – और जो कोई भी यहां गाड़ी चलाता है, उसके लिए शहर की सड़कें धैर्य, सजगता और मशीनरी की निरंतर परीक्षा होती हैं। हर किलोमीटर कुछ नया सामने लाता है: छाया में इंतजार कर रहा एक गड्ढा-आकार का गड्ढा, ढीली बजरी का एक टुकड़ा जहां एक बार पैच-अप का काम हुआ करता था, एक दुष्ट टैक्सी तीन लेन में काटती है जैसे कि यह गुजरने का एक संस्कार है। इन सबके बीच, यह सुनिश्चित करने के लिए एक कार और टायरों के सही सेट की आवश्यकता होती है कि अनुभव किसी युद्ध जैसा न लगे।
यहीं पर मिशेलिन प्राइमेसी 4 आता है। शहर से होकर गुजरने वाली एक लक्जरी सेडान पर फिट, ये टायर कुछ दुर्लभ चीज़ों का प्रबंधन करते हैं – वे मुंबई को प्रबंधनीय महसूस कराते हैं। स्टीयरिंग हल्का महसूस होता है, केबिन व्यवस्थित रहता है, और टायर शहर के टरमैक से गुजरने के बजाय चुपचाप उसकी सजा को अवशोषित कर लेते हैं। यहां तक कि उन हृदय-विदारक क्षणों में भी – जब आप अचानक किसी बाधा से बचने के लिए जोर से ब्रेक लगाते हैं या किसी गलत बाइक चालक से बचने के लिए लेन बदलते हैं – पकड़ लगातार और आश्वस्त करने वाली बनी रहती है।
प्राइमेसी 4: द परफेक्ट सिटी ड्राइव्स
रहस्य विवरण में छिपा है. प्राइमेसी 4 के मामले में, यह मिशेलिन का है अगली पीढ़ी का रबर यौगिक जो गीले और सूखे दोनों स्थितियों में असाधारण ब्रेकिंग प्रदर्शन प्रदान करते हुए, सभी अंतर पैदा करता है। इसके ट्रेड डिज़ाइन में छिपे हुए खांचे हैं जो समय के साथ खुद को प्रकट करते हैं, जिससे पूरे जीवनकाल में मजबूत जल निकासी और ब्रेकिंग दक्षता सुनिश्चित होती है। परिणाम प्रभावशाली नियंत्रण और आत्मविश्वास है, भले ही टायर बिल्कुल नए हों या हजारों किलोमीटर से अधिक चल रहे हों।
और फिर वहाँ शांति है. मिशेलिन का साइलेंट रिब टेक्नोलॉजी इंटरलॉकिंग ट्रेड ब्लॉक का उपयोग करता है जो खांचे के बीच हवा के कंपन को कम करता है, जिससे सड़क का शोर नाटकीय रूप से कम हो जाता है। प्रभाव तुरंत होता है – शहर में अभी भी शोर हो सकता है, लेकिन केबिन के अंदर, सब कुछ शांत, सहज और अधिक परिष्कृत लगता है।
प्राइमेसी 4एस सभी प्रकार के शहरी परिवेशों के लिए उपयुक्त है।
ऐसे शहर में जहां हर ड्राइव एक परीक्षण की तरह महसूस होती है, उस तरह का संयम मायने रखता है। टायरों पर शायद ही कभी उतना ध्यान दिया जाता है जिसके वे हकदार हैं, लेकिन वे कार का एक हिस्सा हैं जो हमेशा सड़क के संपर्क में रहते हैं – और एक चीज जो तनावपूर्ण यात्रा और निर्बाध यात्रा के बीच अंतर ला सकती है। प्राइमेसी 4 उन ड्राइवरों के लिए बनाया गया है जो रेसट्रैक की तुलना में वास्तविक दुनिया में अधिक समय बिताते हैं, बाकी सब से ऊपर आराम, शांति और सुरक्षा को प्राथमिकता देते हैं।
लेकिन मुंबई में भी, कोई भी हमेशा के लिए सर्कल में गाड़ी चलाना नहीं चाहता है। सप्ताहांत पलायन के बारे में है – सप्ताह की व्यस्तता के बाद लंबी साँस छोड़ना। मुंबई से महाबलेश्वर तक की सड़क बिल्कुल इसी कारण से क्लासिक है। यह राजमार्ग के एक चौड़े, चिकने हिस्से के रूप में शुरू होता है, घुमावदार घाटों में संकीर्ण हो जाता है, और, यदि मानसून अभी-अभी बीता है, तो ढीले पत्थरों और जल-जमाव वाले पैचवर्क में बदल जाता है। यह एक ऐसी सड़क है जो जागरूकता की मांग करती है और सही तैयारी को पुरस्कृत करती है।
प्रबलित फुटपाथ असमान सतहों और स्पीड ब्रेकरों का हल्का काम करते हैं।
पायलट स्पोर्ट 4: एडवेंचर, सुरक्षा जाल के साथ
इस बार, ड्राइव मिशेलिन पायलट स्पोर्ट 4 एसयूवी टायर पहने हुए एक एसयूवी में हुई। अलग मशीन, एक ही कहानी: सटीकता और नियंत्रण, चुपचाप वितरित। खुले हिस्सों में, टायर त्रुटिहीन थे स्थिरता – वह प्रकार जो बिना सोचे-समझे थोड़ी और गति को प्रोत्साहित करता है। केबिन का शोर कम हो गया। स्टीयरिंग सटीक रहा. फिर घाट आए – कोने, ऊँचे, अंधे मोड़। यहाँ, टायर' डुअल स्पोर्ट ट्रेड डिजाइन जीवंत हो उठे: सूखी पकड़ के लिए कठोर बाहरी ब्लॉक, गहरे अनुदैर्ध्य खांचे जल निकासी के लिए अंदर. सूखा हो या गीला, यह लगा हुआ और पूर्वानुमानित महसूस होता है।
और फिर, अपरिहार्य: घर का विस्तार ढीली बजरी और नरम गंदगी में बदल गया। एसयूवी नहीं पलटी. प्रबलित फुटपाथभारी वाहनों और हल्की ऑफ-रोड स्थितियों को संभालने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया, बिना किसी उपद्रव के खामियों को दूर करते हुए, चुपचाप कार्यभार संभाल लिया। यह उस प्रकार का व्यवहार है जो केवल अच्छे टायरों को वास्तव में महान टायरों से अलग करता है; यह नहीं कि वे कितनी तेजी से आगे बढ़ते हैं, बल्कि यह कि वे कितने अचंभित रहते हैं।
मिशेलिन पायलट स्पोर्ट 4 टायर उत्कृष्ट कॉर्नरिंग स्थिरता प्रदान करते हैं, जब सड़क मुड़ने लगती है तो आत्मविश्वास पैदा करती है।
टायर के बारे में कुछ संतुष्टिदायक बात है जिसे चमकाने के लिए उत्तम सड़कों की आवश्यकता नहीं होती। क्योंकि भारत में आदर्श सड़कें हकीकत से ज्यादा काल्पनिक सोच हैं। ड्राइवरों को बहुमुखी प्रतिभा की आवश्यकता होती है – शुष्क राजमार्गों पर पकड़, अचानक बारिश में ब्रेक लगाने का आत्मविश्वास, उतार-चढ़ाव पर संयम और यात्रा को आनंददायक बनाने के लिए पर्याप्त आराम। प्राइमेसी 4 और पायलट स्पोर्ट 4 एसयूवी टायर उस साझा दर्शन पर बनाए गए हैं।
मिशेलिन ने इन्हें उत्साही लोगों के लिए उचित मौसम के शोपीस के रूप में नहीं बनाया है; वे रोजमर्रा के ड्राइवर के लिए टायर हैं जो आराम और नियंत्रण को महत्व देते हैं, साथ ही उन लोगों के लिए भी जो सड़क खुलने पर गतिशील प्रदर्शन चाहते हैं। एक सेट शांति के लिए बनाया गया है, दूसरा आत्मा के लिए – दोनों आत्मविश्वास के एक ही विचार से एकजुट हैं। और अंततः ये दोनों यात्राएँ – शहर के मध्य से होते हुए पश्चिमी घाट तक – यही साबित करने निकलीं। प्रदर्शन केवल गति और कॉर्नरिंग पकड़ से कहीं अधिक है। यह विश्वसनीयता, सुरक्षा और आराम के बारे में भी है, चाहे सड़क आपके रास्ते में कुछ भी आए।
क्योंकि भारत में सड़क हमेशा आपके रास्ते में आश्चर्य लाएगी। और जब ऐसा होता है, तो आपको टायरों का सही सेट होना चाहिए।

Now you can get an airbag for your bike for just Rs 32,400, which can save your life in case of an accident. NeoKavach has launched one of the most revolutionary riding gear in India, which can be very useful in case of an accident. It is a wearable airbag jacket that uses a tether-based mechanical trigger system attached to the motorcycle. When the rider meets with an accident and falls from the motorcycle, the tether is pulled and the airbag deploys. The best part is that this airbag can be reused. But is it really worth buying? Let's find out!
NeoKavach Airbag Launch To reuse the airbag, you get removable cartridges filled with CO2, which inflate the airbag in case of an accident. There are two different sizes of CO2 cartridges: 60CC (Rs 2,000) and 100CC (Rs 2,500). These cartridges get a guarantee of 10 years and the product has no expiry date. NeoKavach airbag is available in 3 variants: Air Vest, Tech Pack Air and Tech Pack Pro. The basic Air Vest is priced at Rs 32,400, the Tech Pack Air is priced at Rs 36,000, and the Tech Pack Pro is priced at Rs 40,800.
cool features This is not only for safety, but it also has many useful features. The top-spec variant, the Tech Pack Pro, is a wearable backpack with a CE Level 2 back protector, a hydration bladder, a built-in helmet holder, a waterproof cover and up to 23 liters of expandable storage. It can be said that NeoKavach air waste is a very useful product in terms of safety and convenience. But is it worth buying?
Should you buy? If you want the added safety of an airbag, NeoKavach is a great option. However, the prices seem quite high. For example, buying an ECE 22.06 verified helmet, CE Level 2 certified riding pants and jacket, riding shoes and good quality gloves will cost around Rs 27,000, which is cheaper than even the most basic NeoKavach. And in our experience, all these riding gears work very well for the safety of the rider in an accident. So, should you really spend Rs 32,400 for the NeoKavach? Well, if you are buying NeoKavach as additional protection on top of your existing riding gear, then you can go for it.
the price is expensive However, it is quite expensive and does the same job as the riding gear you already have. Also, if you are going to buy only this airbag and will not use any other riding gear, then it may not be the best decision. Another concern is that the tether is attached to the bike. Therefore, if the tether is incorrectly triggered, the airbag may not deploy. So, if you want to take the plunge and use NeoKavach as a secondary safety net, this is a great option.

Touching the 50,000 sales mark in record time is a historic moment in India's EV journey.”
The early focus on capacity building, machining, supplier development, quality and a culture of practical technical training shaped the backbone of its Indian operations. The Hosur Powertrain Plant, operational since 2017, stands today as the most visible expression of that strategy, emerging as a key node in the group's global engine and transmission network.
A long and layered legacy of India
Stellantis' footprint in India is shaped by a long manufacturing lineage that dates back to the Fiat era, when powertrain production formed the backbone of the company's local operations. Fiat's engine programs helped establish one of India's early high-precision supplier bases, supported by dedicated machining lines, training systems and long-term component partnerships. This ensured continuity as the organization transitioned from Fiat to FCA and later Stellantis, with the powertrain remaining the most stable element of its Indian strategy.
Through this legacy, India evolved as a sustainable manufacturing contributor to global engine and transmission programs. The experience gained over decades, including supplier relationships and workforce capacity, created the conditions for Stellantis to develop India as a key node within its international powertrain network. The Hosur plant, which came online in 2017, was a direct extension of this approach, designed from the beginning to meet both domestic and export demands while working in accordance with global quality, testing and process standards.
(Also read: Long-term policy continuity and uniformity essential for growth of Indian auto industry: Stellantis India CEO,
A powertrain complex built for scale
Spread over 110 acres, the Hosur facility produces three engine families – 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol (Gen-3) and 2.0-litre SDE diesel, along with multiple manual transmission variants (6-speed and 5-speed families). About 95 percent of production is exported, supplying more than 20 markets in Europe, Türkiye, the Middle East and Latin America. Overall, Hosur's engine and gearbox lines account for about 5 percent of Stellantis' global powertrain volumes.
plant comes out closer 350,000 transmissions per year, a number that says as much about scale as it does how much work gets done under one roof. Most of the machining and assembly is done in-house, supported by the vendor ecosystem that has developed with the factory. 300 engine parts and 120 gearbox components come from suppliers that have been integrated into the operation over time. It's this depth that helps the plant maintain high localization: the engine shop runs a 60:40 local-to-import ratio, and the gearbox line is not far away.
Operational Efficiency and Process Discipline
The way the lines have been set up also reflects a very Indian balance between efficiency and practicality. Stellantis has opted for a semi-automated layout, not fully manual, not fully robotic, which gives operators room for customization while maintaining the rhythm of automation. The result is a line that runs 50-60 percent more efficiently than a fully manual setup, yet remains faster to reconfigure than the fully automated European systems against which it is benchmarked. Lead times tell the same story: Gearbox assembly in Hosur is typically completed four to five months faster than at many of the company's other global plants, which is a sobering indicator of how mature the processes here have become.
Testing capacity has expanded in line with production requirements. Stellantis was the first company to adopt cold-test technology in India, developing its system in just two months, whereas these projects elsewhere typically require five months. Today, 60 percent of engines undergo cold testing, with the remaining units validated through mandatory hot tests.
Workforce, skills and local impact
Hosur's workforce profile reflects the plant's dual role as a high-precision manufacturing site and a regional employer. The site directly employs around 1,500 people drawn from 16 Indian states, with women comprising around 18 per cent of the workforce. Stellantis estimates that the plant supports more than 5,000 direct and indirect jobs in the surrounding economy through supplier activity, logistics and services.
Skill development is inherent in the Hosur model. The in-house training institute has recorded a 95 percent first attempt pass rate for trainees; New recruits receive two weeks of structured on-the-job and classroom training, while team leaders undergo a three-month development track.
The plant currently operates three shifts with 33 trained team leaders (approximately 11 per shift), and provides over 150 hours of training per operator per year. These investments are aimed at building stable shop-floor competency that can meet global quality standards and support increasingly complex verification tasks.
Beyond employment, the plant runs community and CSR programs focused on STEM education, school infrastructure and road safety, actions the company takes as part of its local integration strategy.
Stellantis' manufacturing plant in Hosur claims to get 92 percent of its energy from renewable energy, 74 percent from wind and 18 percent from solar.
Sustainability integrated into operations
Sustainability is a core operating principle. The rooftop solar system covers all buildings except the administrative block; The site gets 92 percent of its energy from renewable energy, 74 percent Air and 18 percent solar. With 2 MW of solar PV installed and the deployment of another 1.3 MW, the plant will save 10,622 tonnes of CO₂ in 2024, equivalent to planting 136,000 trees. The 2025 target is to save more than 14,000 tonnes of CO₂ (equivalent to approximately 180,000 trees). The plant's gearbox operation already has the lowest energy consumption per unit recorded within the Stellantis network; The engine line is in second place, with plans to reach benchmark status by 2025.
Part of the global powertrain network
Stellantis operates 44 engine and transmission plants worldwide. Within that network, Hosur's mix of scale, localization and technical capability makes it one of the group's more competitive sites. Hosur's capacity is about 45-50 per cent of that of many plants elsewhere, indicating its larger role given the breadth of the group's footprint, a company briefing said.
Hosur's production accounts for about 5 percent of Stellantis' global powertrain volumes for the engine and gearbox families it produces. The stake is significant given the company's multi-brand portfolio and declining number of plants dedicated to ICE as the group reallocates resources to electrification in other areas.
Platform, India Made IP and Export
India's engineering footprint extends beyond manufacturing. The smart car platform developed in India is the basis of CitroenC3, eC3, air cross and this basaltIt is exported to many markets where the platform's balance of cost and convenience is suitable. Additionally, powertrain and gearbox supplies from India also power Stellantis van platform vehicles as well as several global models based on STLA Small and STLA Medium platform cars. Many components for the STLA Large EV architecture are also being sourced from Indian suppliers, indicating a two-way flow of capacity from India to Stellantis' EV ambitions.
Export performance is a central issue of the Hosur story: largely from the current export contribution Rs 4,000 crore, Stellantis' target 10,000 crore by 2026, with Hosur as a major contributor to that growth.
Retail Strategy and Market Positioning
On the business front, Stellantis is building its retail network in India in parallel with manufacturing growth. Citroen aims to reach 80 to 130 touchpoints in FY26, Jeep aims for around 78, and the group is expanding service reach to 135 centers by adding 7-8 touchpoints per month. The combined network currently covers 69 percent of the addressable market.
A plant built for today, designed for tomorrow
While Hosur holds a central role in ICE production, the facility and India's supplier base are being oriented towards a multi-energy future. Stellantis is running hydrogen pilots in Europe and assessing how hydrogen-optimized combustion and hybrid architectures can be integrated into existing production flows when market economics and infrastructure allow. In practice, the plant's process discipline, training system and engineering presence make it a suitable pivot point should Stellantis decide to expand alternative powertrains from India.
Hosur is more than a factory: it is a working link in a global production and engineering system. By producing multiple engine families and transmission variants in line with global standards, maintaining high localization, investing in workforce training and delivering measurable sustainability benefits, the plant strengthens India's role in Stellantis' industrial map. As the automotive sector moves towards a multi-speed transition, Hosur provides the Group with operational continuity and flexible capabilities, qualities that will matter during the next stages of powertrain development.

Hyundai Creta's reign will be challenged, 8 new SUVs are coming
New Delhi. Maruti Brezza is counted among the most popular compact SUV cars of India. Earlier this car was sold under the name Vitara Brezza. Then the company launched another car named Grand Vitara and now it is sold only under the name Brezza. Now the company is going to launch this car in a new avatar. This car is already quite popular in the market. Now to capitalize on its popularity and attract new buyers, the company is going to update it.
Spot occurred during testing A heavily camouflaged test mule of Maruti Brezza has been caught on camera, which is believed to be a facelifted variant coming in 2026. There is a CNG sticker on the rear windshield of the prototype, which confirms that the model being tested will be equipped with CNG.
Underbody CNG Fuel Tank According to media reports, the new 2026 Maruti Brezza facelift is likely to have the underbody CNG tank layout, which was recently introduced in the Maruti Victoris. This setup frees up boot space.
Level 2 ADAS Interestingly, the new 2026 Maruti Brezza facelift is likely to get a major safety upgrade in the form of a Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) suite. Existing safety features will also be upgraded which include 6 airbags, hill hold assist, electronic stability program, ABS with EBD, brake assist, traction control system, ISOFIX child seat anchors, three-point seatbelts for all seats, seatbelt reminder, rear parking sensors, impact sensing door unlock, adjustable rear headrests and three-point ELR rear center seatbelt.
what else is new? The new Maruti Brezza 2026 facelift may see minor design changes such as redesigned alloy wheels and new LED taillamps borrowed from the Victoris. Inside, the SUV may get updated trims and upholstery, a new cabin theme and a new Victoris-like steering wheel.
Engine and Gearbox No change is expected in Brezza in this matter. The 2026 Maruti Brezza may have a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine, which produces 103bhp power and 137Nm torque. Transmission options also remain unchanged – i.e. 5-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic.
Vitara Brezza 2016 Maruti Brezza was first introduced as the Vitara Brezza in 2016, and became an instant hit due to its SUV-design, great powertrains and aggressive pricing. The subcompact SUV got a major facelift in 2020, followed by a generational upgrade in 2022, when it dropped the “Vitara” prefix. The second-gen model brought significantly improved styling, several new features and a new 1.5L K15C DualJet petrol engine with mild hybrid technology.
New Delhi. The new Kia Sorento 3-row SUV has been caught on camera for the first time testing in India. It will be one of the first hybrid models from the South Korean automaker and is expected to arrive next year. If launched, the 2026 Kia Sorento will be positioned above the Seltos, whose generation change is due in early 2026. After its launch, it will compete directly with Toyota Fortuner in India, which has been the leader of its segment for a long time.
What was shown in the spy image? The test mule seen was heavily camouflaged; However, its signature boxy and upright stance was clearly visible. The SUV features Kia's tiger nose grille, T-shaped LED DRLs, raised bonnet, square wheel arches, 19-inch alloy wheels shod with 235/55 R19 tyres, flat tailgate and connected taillamps. The length of the global-spec Sorento is 4.8 meters and its wheelbase is 2,800mm.
Awaiting official details Although official interior details and features have not been revealed yet, the India-spec version is likely to have similar features to the global-spec model. Expected highlights include panoramic curved screen setup, dual zone automatic climate control, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless charging pad, 12-speaker Bose sound system, UD, hill start assist, ESC, 360 degree camera, multiple airbags and more. A glimpse of the rotary dial gear selector inside the cabin confirms that this is a hybrid variant.
2026 Kia Sorento hybrid powertrain The new Sorento is available with multiple engine options, including 1.6L turbo petrol-hybrid, 1.6L plug-in hybrid, 2.5L petrol and 2.5L turbo petrol. Kia India is likely to hybridize its tried and tested 1.5L petrol engine for the upcoming new-generation Kia Seltos and 2026 Kia Sorento. The hybrid Seltos is expected to arrive in 2027, while the Sorento is likely to become the brand's first hybrid model in India.
potential price The price of 2026 Kia Sorento in India is expected to start from around Rs 35 lakh. When launched, it will compete with SUVs like Skoda Kodiaq, Toyota Fortuner and MG Gloster.
Waiting for updated Kia Seltoll The Kia Seltos may have a 7-speed transmission, but this depends on the model year and engine. Some current petrol variants feature a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT), and the upcoming new generation diesel models are expected to feature a 7-speed automatic transmission.
Petrol Turbocharged Engine: Some Seltos models, which are equipped with the 1.5L turbo petrol engine, can be mated to a 7-speed DCT, as seen in the CarWale listing of a used model and HTX (O) specs.
Upcoming Diesel Engines: The new version of Seltos is rumored to offer a 7-speed automatic transmission for the 1.5L diesel engine, which will replace the current 6-speed automatic. This will be the first in its segment.
Other Transmission: The Seltos is also available with other gearboxes, including 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic and CVT, depending on the engine and trim level.
New Delhi. In the present busy lifestyle, cars have become a part of our everyday life. We depend on our car for many important tasks throughout the day. In such a situation, it is very important that we take care of the health of the car also. Just as we get tired while running, similarly the car also gets tired while moving and just as we need rest, the car also needs repairing after some time. So if your car has run for more than 1 lakh km, then your car also needs some changes. Here today we will tell you which parts of the car need to be repaired or replaced after covering a distance of 1 lakh km.
Engine and Belt System timing belt/timing chain Timing belt is usually changed around 1 lakh KM (if your car has a belt, not a chain). Its breakage can cause huge damage to the engine. Timing chain has a long life, but at this mileage it is important to get it thoroughly checked.
Fan Belt/Drive Belt: Check the belt that powers the engine accessories; replace it if worn.
Spark Plug or Glow Plug in Diesel Car: These are usually changed around 1 lakh KM so that the efficiency and mileage of the engine remains good.
Water Pump, Tensioner and Pulley: These parts associated with the timing belt are also often replaced together because their life is almost the same.
Engine Mounts: The rubber bushings of the mounts that connect the engine to the chassis can wear out, which can increase vibration.
Brake and suspension system Brake Pads and Discs: At this mileage the brake pads and discs are worn out. Get them checked and replaced for better braking. The life of the shock absorbers may be exhausted during this period, which reduces ride comfort and control. These should be replaced. Also get the lower arm, ball joints and bushings checked, as they may become loose.
Tire Rod End and Ball Joint: These are important parts of steering and suspension. If they become loose, they should be changed immediately.
All fluids: The engine oil, brake fluid, coolant, and transmission fluid (gear oil) must be completely changed.
Filter: It is mandatory to replace the engine oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter.
Battery: The average life of a car battery is 3 to 5 years. Get it checked at this mileage, if it is old then get it replaced.
Nissan Magnite Visia CNG Car Loan: The on-road price of Nissan Magnite Visia CNG is Rs 7.08 lakh, EMI of Rs 8175 will have to be paid on down payment of Rs 2 lakh. It competes with Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet. Nissan Magnite is the company's most popular car in India and consistently generates good sales figures for the company.
