Auto India 2025: Kawasaki Ninja 650 & Mahindra XEV 7e Updates
The Indian auto market is buzzing with exciting new launches in 2025! From updated sportbikes to anticipated electric SUVs, there's something for every enthusiast. Let's dive into the latest news on two of the most talked-about vehicles.
2025 Kawasaki Ninja 650: A Fresh Coat of Green
Kawasaki's Ninja 650, a global bestseller, receives a minor but impactful refresh for 2025. Priced at ₹7.27 lakh (ex-showroom), a ₹11,000 increase over the previous model, the updated Ninja boasts a striking Lime Green KRT Edition paint scheme. This vibrant color, accented with sporty white details, gives the bike a fresh, aggressive look. While the 649cc parallel-twin engine remains unchanged (delivering 67bhp and 64Nm), it's now OBD2B compliant. The Triumph Daytona 660, its main rival, sits at a significantly higher price point of ₹9.72 lakh (ex-showroom), making the Ninja 650 a more appealing option for budget-conscious riders.
Mahindra XEV 7e: India's Electric SUV Hopeful
Mahindra is set to expand its electric vehicle lineup with the highly anticipated XEV 7e, a spacious seven-seater SUV. Expected to launch by the year's end, the XEV 7e is rumored to be built on Mahindra's INGLO platform and offer two battery pack options, potentially providing a range of around 500km on a single charge. The estimated price range is between ₹20 lakh and ₹26 lakh. While details remain scarce, expectations are high for this potential game-changer in the Indian EV market, featuring a modern interior, three-screen setup, and advanced features.
Other Notable Launches
The Indian auto scene is brimming with activity! The 2025 Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle brings flat-track style to Indian roads with its 803cc L-twin engine. Meanwhile, Maruti Suzuki is gearing up for the launch of its E-Vitara electric SUV, and Tata Motors is preparing to unveil the highly anticipated Sierra.
