Hyundai Grand i10 Nios CNG twin-cylinder model
Hyundai has introduced a new twin-cylinder CNG unit in the Grand i10 Nios hatchback. It is the same technology that we recently saw on the Exter compact SUV. Dubbed the Grand i10 Nios Hy-CNG Duo, the new model is priced at Rs 7.75 lakh for the Magna variant and Rs 8.30 lakh for the Sportz variant. Prices are ex-showroom in India. The Magna Hy-CNG Duo is priced around Rs 32,000 more than the equivalent petrol AMT variant.

With this update, the Grand i10 Nios will join the Exter, Tiago, Punch, Tigor and Altroz CNG models in…
The new TVS scooter comes with curved LED daytime running lights and will be launched in India
The upcoming TVS scooter could be an upgraded version of the Jupiter 110. The scooter range currently ranges from Rs 73,650 to Rs 90,573 (ex-showroom). TVS Motor Company has teased what we believe to be an upgraded version of the Jupiter 110. The blurry teaser doesn’t reveal much, except for the curved LED daytime running lights. The Jupiter 110 is one of TVS’s best-selling scooters and hasn’t seen many changes since its launch in September 2013. To remedy this, TVS is expected to give the scooter a much-needed design overhaul. Hence, redesigned headlamps and tail lamps are likely to come. The company may also introduce new colour options for the upgraded Jupiter 110 to make it more attractive. Apart from the visual changes, we expect the company to offer the same hardware and mechanical components as before.

The Curvv will be Tata's first model to be powered by a 1.2-litre direct-injection turbocharged petrol engine that produces 123bhp and 225Nm of torque. Tata Motors has released a new teaser confirming that its upcoming Curvv Coupe SUV will be powered by a new 1.2-litre direct injection turbocharged petrol engine. Called the Hyperion, the engine is a three-cylinder unit that features an all-aluminium construction and is lighter than the 1.2-litre Revotron turbo petrol engine. It features variable valve timing technology, a variable oil pump and an integrated exhaust manifold in the cylinder head, and a water-cooled variable geometry turbocharger for better low-end torque. Compared to the Revotron turbo-petrol engine, the Hyperion produces 123bhp at 5,000rpm and 225Nm of peak torque between 1,700rpm and 3,500rpm.

2025 Audi A6 e-tron and S6 e-tron electric vehicles launched globally
Audi has added two new models to its electric car range - the A6 e-tron and the higher-performance S6 e-tron. Both models are based on the new PPE (Premium Platform Electric) architecture, which is also used by the Audi Q6 e-Tron and the new Porsche Macan. As expected, the new Audi A6 e-tron uses split headlights, but they are located below the LED daytime running lights. The latter are configurable, while the former are adaptive matrix beams. The front of the A6 e-tron is further accentuated by the trapezoidal grille in body color and the sculpted bumper with character lines. On the other hand, the bumper of the S6 e-tron adds a bit of sportiness. On the sides, the A6 e-tron has flush door handles instead of the traditional door handles on the Q6 e-tron. Audi says the A6 e-tron is the most aerodynamic Audi model ever, with the Sportback version having a drag coefficient of just 0.21. Speaking of…
