Ather's created a new entry price point into their range with the introduction of the 450S. It looks the same as the more expensive 450X but it has a smaller battery with 90km of range and a clever LCD screen instead of the touchscreen on the X. Ather also uses this smaller battery and lower output motor output configuration to create the Ather 450X middle model which is kinda confusing for sure.

The buzz before the Harley-Davidson X440 launch was that Hero and Harley-Davidson's new motorcycle, plus the Triumph Speed and Scrambler 400 X, would spell trouble for the Royal Enfield Classic 350.

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is the successor to the Gypsy, one of India's earliest and most popular lifestyle vehicles.
