Kawasaki Ninja 650: A Refined Classic
The ever-popular Kawasaki Ninja 650 gets a subtle yet significant refresh for 2025. Priced at ₹7.27 lakh (ex-showroom), this updated model features a vibrant Lime Green KRT Edition paint scheme, giving it a fresh, aggressive look. While the 649cc parallel-twin engine remains unchanged (67bhp and 64Nm), it's now OBD2B compliant. The Ninja 650 remains a strong competitor, especially considering its significantly lower price point compared to its main rival, the Triumph Daytona 660.
Mahindra XEV 7e: India's Electric SUV Challenger
Mahindra is making a significant push into the electric vehicle market with the anticipated XEV 7e, a spacious seven-seater SUV. Expected to launch later this year, it's rumored to be built on Mahindra's INGLO platform and offer a range of around 500km on a single charge, thanks to two potential battery pack options. The estimated price is between ₹20 lakh and ₹26 lakh, positioning it as a potential game-changer in the Indian EV market. The modern interior and advanced features are key highlights.
Other Notable Launches: A Busy Year Ahead
Beyond these highlights, the Indian auto scene is buzzing. Maruti Suzuki's E-Vitara electric SUV, Tata Motors' highly anticipated Sierra, and a new generation Hyundai Venue are all set to make their mark. The 2025 Honda Fit (Jazz) facelift, while not coming to India, showcases Honda's global design updates.
Conclusion: A Thrilling Year for Auto Enthusiasts
2025 promises a vibrant year for the Indian auto market. With a mix of stylish motorcycles, advanced electric vehicles, and refreshed classics, there's plenty to look forward to. Stay tuned for further updates!
