The entry single-motor electric SUV drops to ₹23.99 lakh in this revision’s sample pricing, with the Shine+ closing at ₹25.99 lakh; battery, range and equipment are untouched and the catalogue still carries the old sheet.

At ₹9.90-9.98 lakh in our sample catalogue, the 1,200 cc twin arrives with 105 Nm, cornering ABS on the Pro and no apology for the price of wanting the best-looking bike on the list.
