When I recently explored the Kia lineup in India, I was impressed by the range of passenger vehicles on offer. From the compact Sonet to the sporty Seltos, and the family-friendly Carens, each model brings unique benefits and features. For March 2026, Kia is offering big, lucrative discount schemes across its product portfolio, covering models like the Syros, Carens Clavis, and the premium Carnival. The electric EV version of the Carens Clavis adds an eco-friendly touch, while the luxury MPV Carnival currently allows buyers to save up to Rs 1,00,000, making it an attractive choice.

During my time in Pune city, I spent a couple of weeks riding the TVS Orbiter, and the experience gave me new perspectives on the electric scooter scene in India. This scooter, launched as a second option after iQube, shows how TVS Motor has changed the tides in its favour, even having dethroned Ola Electric to become a best-selling brand. As I tested it over good roads, bad roads, and hilly inclines, I noticed both its strengths and shortcomings under different conditions, especially regarding charging and daily usability. The company seems to have created a primary volume generator while maintaining…

When Mahindra launched the Mahindra BE 6 Batman Edition in Aug 2025, the Indian market was immediately buzzing with excitement. Initially, only 300 units were allocated, but due to an overwhelming response from buyers, the number was increased to 999 units. The cars were sold out in just 135 seconds, showing how exceptional the demand was. As someone who closely follows electric vehicle trends, I can say that the top-end Pack Three, 79 kWh variant, developed in association with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, offers both performance and style. The automaker priced it at a sticker price of 28.49…
