Jetour T2 review: Is JSW ready for combat?

-
Image
JSW Group , one of India’s largest conglomerates, is preparing to significantly expand its automotive ambitions. Having already established a presence through JSW-MG Motor India, its joint venture with China’s SAIC, the company is now gearing up to enter the market with an all-new brand of its own, JSW Motor. Rather than taking the conventional route of developing products from the ground up, JSW is leveraging global partnerships to fast-track its entry into the industry. Its first product for India will be a large plug-in hybrid SUV based on the Chery Jetour T2, which is expected to be assembled at JSW’s upcoming facility in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, and we hear it will be called the Combat . With its rugged styling, imposing road presence and the promise of combining EV-like efficiency and long-distance touring ability, the SUV is expected to be positioned in the Rs 30-50 lakh segment and take on established players head-on. Ahead of its India launch later this year, we got an earl...

3 reasons to buy the MG Hector Tomahawk EV and 3 reasons not to

-
Image
The Hector Tomahawk EV (alongside the PHEV) is the first MG model based on the brand’s new ADAPT platform, and costs from Rs 19.49 lakh to Rs 22.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The MG Hector Tomahawk EV is priced more competitively than the Hyundai Creta Electric while also seating up to seven occupants. There’s also the Kia Clavis EV, which costs about the same as the Tomahawk, but that’s an MPV. All that said, let’s start with the positives of this MG SUV first. Reasons to buy the MG Hector Tomahawk EV Spacious and premium interiors Three rows of seats and an accommodating boot make this a practical family hauler The cushioning of the wide front seats of the Hector Tomahawk EV feels comfortable even on long journeys. These seats are ventilated for added comfort, while the driver’s seat also gets a memory function for added convenience. In-cabin storage comes in the form of large door pockets and plenty of cubbies in the centre console. The Hector Tomahawk’s long wheelbase means there’s mor...

Keeway EZI Hypevolt-R Review: Is It worth the Rs 2 lakh price tag?

-
Image
There are some products we look forward to because we know they are arriving in our market, and then there are those that launch completely out of the blue. The Hypevolt-R is one such offering made by EZI, Keeway’s electric sub-brand. In fact, you won’t find any Keeway branding on this sporty step-through scooter. Hypevolt-R Design, Quality, and Features- 8/10 Sharp, comfortable and well made. Gets a lot of smart features, but is complicated to use. There is plenty that makes the Hypevolt-R stand out. The sharp, arrow-shaped side panels, motorcycle-style handlebar and large 14-inch wheels give it a distinctive stance. Additionally, it gets disc brakes at both ends with dual-channel ABS. This electric scooter makes a strong first impression, especially with its build quality. The switchgear feels premium, and the overall fit and finish is impressive. The stainless-steel finish on the rear suspension, however, looks rather basic for something positioned as a premium offering. Practicali...

MG Hector Tomahawk EV: What’s in a name?

-
Image
MG ’s newest SUV has been christened the Hector Tomahawk , but despite the name, it shares nothing with the ICE-powered Hector we’ve known since 2019. The Hector Tomahawk EV and PHEV are the first models on MG’s ADAPT architecture, which will eventually spawn strong hybrids and range-extender hybrids. We drove the Tomahawk EV in sunny Kochi to see how it stacks up in the ever-growing segment. MG Hector Tomahawk EV Exterior Design and Engineering - 6/10 Let’s talk dimensions first. At 4,745mm long, 1,850mm wide, 1,770mm tall and with a 2,810mm wheelbase, the Tomahawk is larger than the Mahindra XEV 9S in all areas except width. Ground clearance, at 230mm (measured to battery), is also class-best. However, these numbers don’t translate to a particularly imposing stance. Instead, it straddles the line between an MPV and SUV. Size doesn’t translate to an imposing stance; it straddles the line between an MPV and an SUV. The design is clean and quite handsome, if a bit uninspiring. The fron...
