Toyota's first standalone electric SUV, the Urban Cruiser Ebella, delivers strong range and performance with premium quality, but rear space and features could have been better, says Somnath Chatterjee.
Speaking at the unveiling of the model at the Auto Expo, held as part of the Bharat Mobility Show, Suzuki Motor Corporation representative director and president Toshihiro Suzuki said the electric SUV would be exported to various regions, including Europe and Japan. Suzuki Motor Corporation, which has around 58 per cent stake in Maruti Suzuki India, plans to make India a global production hub for the model.
Suzuki has made a great comeback in the 150cc segment with the launch of the Gixxer motorcycle; it's among the top sellers in the segment currently, says Indian automobile website MotorBeam.
The impressive riding dynamics of the Gixxer now get a sporty full fairing that makes this 155cc offering from Suzuki a lot more desirable, says Indian motoring website MotorBeam.
The Suzuki Gixxer is a terrific effort to bring back glory to the Japanese automaker in the 150cc segment, says Faisal Ali Khan of MotorBeam.com
Not only has the additional fairing made the Suzuki Gixxer SF more appealing to the eye, it is also more aerodynamic that helps one clock higher top speed, says Indian motoring website MotorBeam.com.
Traversing from being just vehicle manufacturers to mobility solutions providers amid a raging debate over which eco-friendly technology must be incentivised, the Indian automobile industry is driving in the new year under the shadow of a slowdown in sales with the post-pandemic pent-up demand in distant memory. The shift in the auto industry -- where advanced technologies like autonomous driving, vehicle intelligence, connected features and electrification are quickly gaining traction -- will be reflected in the upcoming Bharat Mobility Global Expo in which India's flagship Auto Expo has been clubbed to be held from January 17-22, 2025 in Delhi-NCR.
At a time when consumers increasingly embrace green mobility solutions, it is not electric cars but hybrids that are taking the lead, as automotive sales data indicate. Since January, 64,097 electric cars have been sold compared to 266,465 hybrids, according to data from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways' Vahan dashboard. Hybrid car sales have surged from 4.42 per cent of the 4.1 million cars sold in calendar year 2022 to 7.2 per cent this year.
