Launches

  • Mahindra XUV300 TurboSport: Mahindra launched the new TurboSport version of the XUV300. It comes with a more powerful 1.2-litre TGDi turbo-petrol engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

  • MG ZS EV Excite Variant: MG introduced a new base-spec Excite variant for the ZS EV. The new variant is cheaper by a few lakh rupees, despite getting the same battery pack, motor and range. Moreover, though it gets a 10.1-inch touchscreen display, grey interior, six airbags, a 360-degree camera and more, it loses out on the panoramic sunroof, auto-folding ORVMs and ADAS.
