New colours, a reshuffled accessory story and no movement in the ₹3.12-3.27 lakh bands our listing records for the Continental GT 650 and Interceptor 650.

TVS's new flagship single brings a 312 cc engine, four ride modes, a bi-directional quickshifter and a five-inch TFT display to the sub-350 segment.

Four import-spec variants, a 69 kWh extended-range pack claiming 476 km, 10-80 percent charging in about 26 minutes, and a cabin that deletes the instrument cluster entirely.

Level 2 driver assistance moves down the trim ladder on Mahindra's seven-seat SUV, with recalibration focused on speed control and lane centring in Indian traffic.

The MPV that defined its segment goes unibody with a 122 bhp petrol-hybrid system good for around 184 bhp combined, priced from ₹18.60 lakh to ₹28.90 lakh across five CVT variants in the sample catalogue.

30 bhp that lives above 7,500 rpm, 168 kg, WP upside-down forks and a radial front brake — the Duke is the most performance-complete package under 300cc in this catalogue, and it charges you for every part of that sentence.

Two weeks, 1,400 km and one unsealed pass later, the Sherpa-platform Himalayan looks like the most complete motorcycle Royal Enfield has ever built — and the first one that asks to be ridden rather than admired.
Review 6 min
We rode the 155cc class benchmark for a fortnight, half of it at a race track and half of it in Bengaluru traffic. The frame is the story; the ergonomics are the bill.
Review 5 min
Three weeks in a Kushaq Style, on Delhi tarmac and a Kerala ghat run, made the argument clearer than any brochure: this is the most engineered compact SUV in the catalogue and the least persuasive one in a showroom.
Review 5 min
We gave the XUV 3XO AX5 three weeks of Delhi-NCR abuse to find out whether a screen-first cabin is a daily joy or a daily tax. The five-star shell and seven-airbag top trim are real; so is the 110 bhp ceiling over.

Comparison 4 min
Forty brake horsepower apiece, ₹67,000 apart, and completely different ideas about what a big single is for. We rode both on the same tarmac, the same gravel and the same traffic.

One 155cc VVA single, one frame philosophy, two handlebars — and a wrinkle: the MT-15 V2 is still a projection in this sample catalogue while the R15 is in showrooms today. We sort the hardware from the timing.
Comparison 4 min
Thirty horsepower against twenty-six and a half, 168 kg against 181, and a chassis philosophy apiece. The quarter-litre class has exactly one real argument left, and it is about what you ride for.
Comparison 4 min
Both compact SUVs in this sample catalogue carry a five-star adult crash score, both sit on a 2600 mm wheelbase, and both claim 17 kmpl. Then the price ladders, the engines and the philosophies diverge hard.

Our catalogue holds four motorcycles at or under 125cc, and together they explain the segment better than a padded list ever could: TVS spent on electronics, Honda on refinement, Hero on families and Hero again on arithmetic.

No clutch, no gearbox, no exhaust. Here is what actually sits between the charging socket and the wheel in the electric cars and scooters on our catalogue, where the single-speed drivetrain runs out of leverage, and which parts genuinely fail.
