The Urban Cruiser EV closely resembles the Maruti sibling, save for sleeker, segmented LED DRLs and triangular headlights, bridged by a thick black trim, and a smoother front bumper with two vertical air vents on the edges. Also different is the neat-looking bumper, flanked by vertical air vents at the edges. There's generous body cladding all around, and like the Maruti EV, the rear door handles are integrated within the C-pillar. Taillights also get the segmented effect and are not connected by a light bar, just like the front ones.

There are 5 monotone and 4 dual tone colour options. The former includes Cafe White, Bluish Black, Gaming Grey, Sportin Red and Enticing Silver. The dual-tone colour options on the Urban Cruiser Ebella include Cafe White, Land Breeze Green, Sportin Red and Enticing Silver, all with a black roof.

As with Toyota’s other rebadged Maruti models, there is little to tell them apart inside, and the Urban Cruiser EV’s cabin closely mirrors that of the e Vitara's. It has been equipped with a 10.1-inch digital driver's display, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, ventilated front seats, 12-colour ambient lighting, an JBL sound system, and more.

The top-spec Urban Cruiser EV features a Level 2 ADAS suite with lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control.

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time.

Honda  has officially delisted the Amaze  diesel model from its website. The compact sedan was the final diesel model in its segment that currently comprises of the Hyundai Aura , Tata Tigor and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire . Amaze diesel was available in three trims Was the only diesel automatic model in its segment Honda Amaze diesel: reason for discontinuation As we've reported before, the upcoming implementation of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms in India from April 2023 is the key reason for the Amaze's diesel engine being dropped.  Upgrading diesel engines to meet the new stringent emissions regulations is expensive. This, combined with the low demand for diesel in this segment, meant that there was little business case for the Amaze diesel. Currently, Honda has only two diesel-powered models on sale in India – the  WR-V  and  5th gen City .  However, these cars, too, are slated to be axed as the brand  will cease producing diese...
