Looking ahead to next year, the automotive world is waiting for Mahindra to launch its expected new offering. Based on what we’ve seen, this compact SUV, likely rooted in the Mahindra Vision S concept, could arrive sometime soon and be cleverly positioned below the flagship Scorpio N.

Seeing the Tata Nexon sell over 23,000 units in January 2026 makes it clear why this compact SUV has emerged as the brand’s most popular model.

Here are the variant-wise engine options the Nexon gets; this tailored powertrain strategy is a major key to its appeal.

Looking at the special edition, the appeal of the GP Replica variant isn’t solely due to its head-turning, exclusive MotoGP-inspired styling. From a spec-sheet perspective, this variant also gets exclusive features as part of its standard equipment, like a quickshifter and an adjustable brake lever. Now, for riders eyeing the other colour variants, that same quickshifter can be installed as an accessory, but it will cost an extra Rs 25,000 more. In direct comparison, choosing the GP Replica—which sports a largely black finish and carries the stickers of the various sponsors from Aprilia’s MotoGP race bike—is actually a smarter buy,…

A key highlight, in my observation, was the growth in two-wheeler sales, which was anchored largely due to…

It’s called the “Baby Land Cruiser” and is planned to be introduced in major markets, such as India. The excitement turned tangible when the right-hand-drive version was first spotted testing on the public roads of Bangkok, a clear signal that its Asian rollout is in full swing.…
