Here’s a quick recap of all that made headlines:

2025 MG Windsor EV Inspire Edition Launched

MG has launched the limited Windsor EV Inspire edition to mark the successful one year of the popular EV on our shores. This edition is limited to 300 units only and is based on the top-spec Essence variant. It gets several cosmetic changes, including new colour options inside and out. However, it misses out on the bigger battery option that is available with the Windsor EV Pro. 

2025 Mahindra Bolero and Mahindra Bolero Neo Launched

Mahindra has launched the 2025 Bolero and the Bolero Neo. Two of the longest-running SUV nameplates have now been updated with new top-spec variants, respectively. While both the Bolero and Bolero Neo continue with the same engines under the hood, they get subtle design enhancements as well as a few feature additions to keep them relevant in the market.

Kia Carens Clavis 6-Seater Variants Now More Affordable

Kia is offering Carens Clavis with the 6-seater configuration in mid-spec variants. You can now have it from the mid-spec HTK Plus variant, priced from Rs 16.28 lakh (ex-showroom). Earlier, Kia offered the 6-seater Carens Clavis only in the top-spec HTX Plus variant that comes with a single turbo-petrol engine. Now, Kia is offering this in some of the lower-spec trims, which means Kia has opened an option to have a 6-seater configuration in Kia Carens Clavis with a diesel engine as well.

However, no changes are expected on the powertrain front; the same NA petrol, turbo-petrol and diesel engine options are likely to continue.
