<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/">Hyundai</a> has unveiled the&nbsp;2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 equipped with Tesla's NACS (North American Charging Standard)&nbsp;charging port. This makes it Hyundai's&nbsp;first US model to feature a NACS connector. As a result, customers can use&nbsp;more than 17,000 <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/tesla/">Tesla</a> superchargers&nbsp;alongside the fast chargers&nbsp;already available.&nbsp;Along with a NACS port, the updated Ioniq 5 also brings more range as well as a new off-road-focused XRT variant.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking of the XRT, the new off-road variant is positioned between the standard model and the high-performance Ioniq 5 N. The latter made its global debut in July 2023 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. While the Ioniq 5 N sits on&nbsp;21-inch forged aluminium wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tyres, the new Ioniq 5 XRT features&nbsp;18-inch&nbsp;aluminium wheels with all-terrain tyres. The XRT additionally&nbsp;gets an increased ground clearance, improved rake front and rear, and suspension tuning. Compared to the standard Ioniq 5, the XRT has a more rugged design with distinctive bumpers, digital camo pattern, black side skirts and Hyundai badges, as well as the HTRAC Liftgate badge and the IONIQ 5 badging.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT Rear" src="/uploads/2024/09/2025-Hyundai-Ioniq-5-XRT-Rear.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>Other bits include black mirror caps, red-painted tow hooks, and the XRT logo inscribed on the rear apron. Exterior colour options are&nbsp;Ultimate Red and&nbsp;Cosmic Blue Pearl. The interior of the XRT includes a black headliner, all-weather floor mats, and H-Tex seats with XRT-exclusive patterning. As for the powertrain, the off-road variant is equipped with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup and an 84kWh battery pack. Power and range&nbsp;are&nbsp;still under wraps.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5: Battery, Range&nbsp;</h2>

<p>While the XRT gets only a bigger battery with&nbsp;AWD, the rest of the Ioniq 5 comes with two&nbsp;battery sizes – 63kWh (up from 58kWh) and 84kWh (up from 77.4kWh)&nbsp;– and is available in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. The 2025 Ioniq 5 RWD offers a claimed range of&nbsp;around 498km for the SE, SEL, and&nbsp;Limited variants, while the SE Standard Range (in RWD guise)&nbsp;has a 387km range. The AWD variants' range varies from 402km to 450km, depending on the variant selected.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from revised bumpers, the&nbsp;2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (non-XRT) gets a new rear spoiler, flush-type roof side rails, more aero-efficient wheels, and new colourways&nbsp;(Atlas White Matte, Ecotronic Gray Matte, Celadon Gray Matte). On the inside, the vehicle offers a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, redesigned HVAC controls, a new steering wheel, heated rear seats (SEL and above), a new centre console with physical seat heater controls, and USB-C ports.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5: Safety Kit</h2>

2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Unveiled Globally with Tesla's NACS Charging Port and Off-road XRT Variant

The new off-road-focused XRT variant of the 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 gets all-terrain tyres, improved rake front and rear, and a 23mm suspension lift.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/">Hyundai India</a> has officially recalled the loniq 5 electric sedan due to&nbsp;a problem with the model's&nbsp;Integrated Charging Control Unit (ICCU). The latest voluntary recall has affected a total of&nbsp;1,744&nbsp;units of the EV. The impacted&nbsp;vehicles were manufactured between July 21, 2022, and April 30, 2024.&nbsp;In January last year, the South Korean automaker&nbsp;launched&nbsp;the Ioniq&nbsp;5 as a completely knocked down (CKD) model&nbsp;in the Indian market. This indicates that the recall has affected every Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric vehicle&nbsp;sold in India so far. For the uninitiated, the car's ICCU&nbsp;is a controller that lowers the high voltage of the primary battery to a level appropriate for charging the vehicle's 12-volt secondary battery pack.</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5 Recall: The Issue</h2>

<p><img alt="Hyundai Ioniq 5 Rear View" src="/uploads/2023/04/Hyundai-Ioniq-5-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The ICCU issue, according to the&nbsp;carmaker, may drain the 12V battery in the affected vehicles.&nbsp;The concerned units&nbsp;have been voluntarily recalled for inspection and fixing the mentioned&nbsp;issue.&nbsp;Hyundai&nbsp;has stated that the inspection and repair process will be carried out&nbsp;free of&nbsp;cost. So,&nbsp;if you own an Ioniq 5,&nbsp;get in touch with your&nbsp;local dealership&nbsp;to find out if your&nbsp;car is included in the recall.</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5: Battery Specs</h2>

<p>The brand's flagship electric vehicle, the Ioniq 5, is priced at Rs 46.05 lakh (ex-showroom) in India.&nbsp;The model&nbsp;is available for purchase in one fully loaded variant. It is equipped with&nbsp;a single rear-wheel-drive electric motor and a 72.6kWh battery pack. In this configuration, the Ioniq 5&nbsp;develops 216bhp of maximum power&nbsp;and 350Nm of peak&nbsp;torque. Hyundai&nbsp;claims the car&nbsp;can travel 631 km on a single charge. Furthermore, a 350kW DC fast charger can juice up&nbsp;the&nbsp;EV from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Hyundai IONIQ 5 Test Drive" src="/uploads/2023/03/Hyundai-IONIQ-5-driving-shot.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>With two 12.3-inch instrument console displays and a touchscreen infotainment system, the Hyundai model&nbsp;is packed with impressive&nbsp;amenities. It also boasts an 8-speaker premium Bose sound system, ventilated&nbsp;seats, dual-zone climate control, a voice assistant, a motorised tailgate, and&nbsp;Vehicle-2-Load (V2L) capability. The safety suite comprises&nbsp;Level 2 ADAS, ABS with EBD, engine parking brake, six airbags, and electronic stability control (ESC).</p>


Hyundai Recalls Over 1,700 Ioniq 5 SUV Units in India; Here's Why

The Hyundai Ioniq 5's ICCU is a controller that lowers the high voltage of the primary battery to a level appropriate for charging the vehicle's 12-volt secondary battery pack.

<p>South Korean manufacturer <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/">Hyundai</a> has&nbsp;just taken the wraps off the&nbsp;Ioniq 5 N Pikes Peak race car ahead of the&nbsp;2024 edition of the 24 Hours of Nurburgring. Touted as the&nbsp;Ioniq 5 N TA (Time Attack) Spec, the model&nbsp;is a modified version of the Ioniq 5 N which&nbsp;will race at this year's&nbsp;Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in June. Hyundai will campaign the two Time Attack Spec cars in the modified electric SUV/Crossover class at Pikes Peak.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Over the standard Ioniq 5 N, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N TA Spec also gets a 'high-downforce' aero kit, which includes a massive rear wing,&nbsp;side sills, and fender flares. Then, there are&nbsp;18-inch 11J forged wheels, Yokohama ADVAN 005 slicks, new shock absorbers, and motorsport-spec brakes. The suspension setup is updated with&nbsp;three-way adjustable dampers, while the stopping power comes from&nbsp;six-piston brakes at the front and&nbsp;four-piston clamps at the rear. Ride height and camber are also adjustable.</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Time Attack Spec: Safety Equipment</h2>

<p>Additionally, the Time Attack comes with modified&nbsp;external speakers producing&nbsp;the ‘N Active Sound+’ at over 120 decibels to enhance driver feedback and replace sirens typical of electric Pikes Peak race cars. Other safety bits include&nbsp;a Recaro Pro Racer SPA Hans seat,&nbsp;Sabelt six-point Hans safety harness, PPIHC specification roll cage and&nbsp;EV fire suppression system.</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Time Attack Spec: Powertrain</h2>

<p>Under the hood, the&nbsp;Ioniq 5 N TA Spec gets the same motors and&nbsp;84kWh battery pack as the standard Ioniq 5 N; however, the powertrain setup is retuned to develop 678bhp, up by 37bhp using an overboost function. Other specifications including range are yet to be revealed. For your reference, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N claims a range of up to 448km. Hyundai says the Ioniq 5 N can accelerate from&nbsp;a standstill&nbsp;to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds&nbsp;before hitting&nbsp;a top speed of 260km/h.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Along with the&nbsp;Ioniq 5 N Time Attack Specs, Hyundai will also bring two production-spec standard Ioniq 5 Ns, hoping to make the&nbsp;‘Electric Production SUV/Crossover' record. The only visual differences from showroom stock would be roll cages and necessary gear.&nbsp;</p>


Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Time Attack Spec Car with 678bhp Unveiled Ahead of 24 Hours of Nurburgring

With the same motors and 84kWh battery pack as the standard Ioniq 5 N, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Time Attack Spec makes 678bhp, an increase of 37bhp.

<p>Hyundai India has introduced new exterior and interior paint schemes for the Ioniq 5. The electrified SUV is now also available in Titan gray exterior and Obsidian black interior colours. It was initially available in a single interior colour, Dark Pebble Grey, and three exterior finishes: Midnight Black Pearl, Optic White, and Gravity Gold Matte. Aside from the revised paint scheme, the Hyundai SUV remains unchanged.&nbsp;The Ioniq 5 is based on the Electric-Global Modular Platform, which Hyundai claims improves high-speed stability, and cornering capability. It has an array of safety features, including electronic stability control (ESC), six airbags, an engine parking brake, Level 2 ADAS, and ABS with EBD.</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5: Features</h2>

<p>The <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-creta-ev-spotted-testing-ahead-of-india-launch-shows-aero-wheels-connected-led-taillamps-and-more-116668/">Hyundai electric car</a> has a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, dual-zone climate control, voice assistant, motorized tailgate, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless phone charger, panoramic sunroof, heads-up display, and ventilated seats. It is equipped with a Bose eight-speaker sound system with six different ambient natural sound options.</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5: Powertrain and Rivals</h2>

<p>The Ioniq 5 is fitted with a single rear-wheel-drive electric motor and a 72.6 kWh battery. In this configuration, the Hyundai e-car develops 216bhp and 350Nm. The SUV can go 631 kilometres on a single charge. It can be charged from 10% to 80% in 18 minutes using a 350kW DC fast charger. In addition, the Ioniq 5 has Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, which allows it to generate up to 3.6kW of power.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Priced at Rs 46.05 lakh (ex-showroom), the Ioniq 5 competes with the <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/byd-seal-electric-sedan-launched-in-india-at-rs-41-lakh-116371/">BYD Seal</a>, the Kia EV6, and the Volvo XC40 Recharge&nbsp;in the Indian premium electric market.&nbsp;</p>


Hyundai Ioniq 5 EV Gets New Exterior and Interior Colour Options

The Hyundai Ioniq 5, which retails for Rs 46.05 lakh (ex-showroom), competes against the Kia EV6, the Volvo XC40 Recharge, and the BYD Seal in India.

<p>Hyundai recently gave a facelift to the Ioniq 5 that dates back to the 2021 model year. Now, the EV SUV&nbsp;– which has a rugged-looking appearance – has been spotted testing abroad.&nbsp;Likely to be a part of the company's XRT range that includes the Santa Fe, Tucson, Palisade SUVs, and the Santa Cruz pickup, the off-road version of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 seems to have a more robust and sturdier&nbsp;exterior compared to&nbsp;its standard counterpart. While a large part of the test model is camouflaged, a close look reveals that it gets&nbsp;roof rails, black&nbsp;plastic body cladding, and&nbsp;blacked-out 18-inch wheels shod with chunky, all-terrain tyres. Compared to the normal version, the ride height is a bit higher, and there appears to be a redesigned bumper on either end. Other changes expected include skid plates as well as&nbsp;a revised interior theme.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT: Drivetrain</h2>

<p>While we do not yet know the battery and motor specifications, we expect the&nbsp;Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT to get a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup. For your reference, the standard&nbsp;Ioniq 5 AWD makes 321bhp and 604Nm of peak torque.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Like the <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/2024-hyundai-ioniq-5-unveiled-with-subtle-design-changes-and-larger-battery-pack-116363/">recently refreshed Ioniq 5</a>, the off-road-focused derivative could feature an 84kWh battery pack with a&nbsp;range higher than the current model’s ARAI-rated 631 kilometres. Or else, it could use a smaller 77.4kWh battery pack yielding a range of about 418 kilometres.</p>

<p>In India, Hyundai offers the Ioniq 5 in a rear-wheel-drive&nbsp;guise.&nbsp;The Ioniq 5 comes equipped with a 72.6kWh battery and a permanent magnet synchronous motor with 214bhp and 350Nm of torque. The manufacturer claims that the Ioniq 5&nbsp;has an ARAI-certified range of 631 kilometres on a single charge. The vehicle can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in just 18 minutes, using a 350 kW DC fast charger; however, only a few of these chargers are available across India. Additionally, the Ioniq 5 also includes Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology allowing&nbsp;the car to deliver up to 3.6kW of power output.</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT: Availability</h2>

<p>According to some market reports, the Hyundai Ioniq 5 XRT could make its global debut later this year. It will likely go on sale in the US first, followed by the European market. As far as our market goes, the&nbsp;Ioniq 5 XRT's launch will take time.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Hyundai Creta EV Spied Again</h2>

<p>In other EV-related news, the&nbsp;Hyundai Creta EV – based on the facelifted Creta&nbsp;–&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/hyundai-creta-ev-spotted-testing-in-south-korea-shows-5-spoke-aero-wheels-closed-off-grille-design-and-more-116524/">was&nbsp;spotted in South Korea</a>, over a month after the SUV was caught testing in India. Though completely disguised, the&nbsp;test mule showed certain&nbsp;EV-specific design elements&nbsp;such as&nbsp;a&nbsp;blanked-off grille and&nbsp;a pair of new 17-inch aero-optimised wheels.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, expect other elements – quad beam LED headlamps with new LED daytime running lights,&nbsp;LED sequential turn signals, and a full-width LED light bar with connected&nbsp;LED tail lamps&nbsp;– to&nbsp;be carried over from the regular Creta.</p>

Off-road-focused Hyundai Ioniq 5 in the Works, Spotted with Blacked-out Wheels, All-Terrain Tyres and More

Likely to be a part of Hyundai's XRT range that includes the Santa Fe, Tucson, Palisade SUVs, and the Santa Cruz pickup, the off-road version of the Ioniq 5 seems to have a more robust and sturdy exterior compared to its standard counterpart.

<p>The Hyundai Ioniq 5 made its formal entry into the Indian luxury electric vehicle market in January last year. It is the brand's second electric car, followed by the Kona Electric, and competes against the Kia EV6. In a recent development, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/">Hyundai</a> upped the Ioniq 5's price in India by Rs 10,000. As a result, the ex-showroom price for the EV is now Rs 46.05 lakh. Although the exact reason hasn't been disclosed, issues with the supply chain or increasing input costs could be the primary reasons. There is only one fully loaded version of the Ioniq 5 on the market, which can accommodate up to five people. Many amenities are included in the SUV, such as a wireless phone charger, a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, and more. Hyundai's electric vehicle is built on the Electric-Global Modular Platform, which claims to offer superior cornering performance, improved driving dynamics, and better high-speed stability. If you want to buy an Ioniq 5 EV in the future, let's explore its dimensions, powertrain, and other aspects in greater depth.</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5: Powertrain</h2>

<p>The Hyundai Ioniq 5 has a single rear-wheel-drive electric motor coupled to a 72.6 kWh battery underneath its bonnet.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 Becomes Expensive By Rs 10,000 in India, Check New Prices

The price of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 has increased by Rs 10,000 in India. The EV is a direct competitor to the Kia EV6 and can accommodate up to 5 people.

<p><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal">Hyundai revealed the Ioniq 5 eN1 Cup race car concept at its N Festival in South Korea. It is based on the powerful Hyundai Ioniq 5 N – a road-legal vehicle – and will compete in Korea's single-make series in May 2024. Numerous track-specific performance-oriented enhancements will be included in the racing competition edition. The biggest change will be a weight reduction of up to 551 pounds (230kgs) in comparison to the current Ioniq 5 N. This will presumably be accomplished by the use of polycarbonate components for the side and back glass. Other changes include stronger suspension, an air jack, an overhauled brake system, a 70mm reduced ride height, a six-point FIA-compliant roll cage, and improved battery protection.</span></span></p>

<p><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal">Furthermore, the adjustable suspension will have pillow ball mounts with spherical joints for a more durable attachment to the structure. Although a lot is yet to be revealed about this race-spec version, Hyundai believes that the model featuring a range of enhancements will leave an indelible mark on the racing series, which is scheduled to debut in Korea. </span></span></p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq eN1 Cup Race Car: Some More Highlights</h2>

<p><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal">The sporty chassis and revised bodywork, which consists of enormous air intakes, a wide diffuser, and a rear wing, will be hallmarks of the performance-focused eN1 Cup. Additionally, the race car will be furnished with 18-inch wheels and 280/680 R18 slick tyres. The upcoming performance-focused electric vehicle's technical specifications are currently unknown, but it is expected that the track-ready vehicle would use the same dual electric motors that are found in the regular Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and can produce about 632bhp in the N Grin Boost mode. </span></span></p>

<p><span style="line-height:normal"><span style="font-weight:normal">It is important to keep in mind that these are mere speculations, and the carmaker will formally disclose the real powertrain numbers probably closer to the start of production. However, market reports suggest that the Hyundai Ioniq 5 eN1 Cup vehicle will be completed by February 2024.</span></span></p>

<p>In order to manage airflow and ensure ideal aerodynamic performance, the model's rear has an N-only wing-type spoiler, a rear diffuser, and an air outlet. These also emphasize the high-performance capabilities of the Ioniq 5 N and contribute to its aggressive appearance. An N-only HMSL brake light with a triangular shape is built inside the spoiler. Moreover, an N-exclusive black bumper cover with checker flag reflector designs is located below the rear hatch. Additionally, this is the only Ioniq 5 model with a rear window wiper. Let's have a look at more features of this new model.</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Powertrain &amp; Hardware&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Two electric motors with a combined output of 601bhp drive the N model. However, in Hyundai's boost mode, N Grin Boost, they create 641bhp, allowing the vehicle to reach a high speed of 260 km/h while accelerating from a stop to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. The torque capacity of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is unknown.&nbsp;The model gets an 84kWh battery pack, which can be charged from 10% to 80% using a 350kWh fast charger in about 18 minutes. Hyundai has not yet announced the driving range as of yet.</p>

<p>Braking is accomplished by a single-piston, 360mm rear disc, and a four-piston, 400mm front disc. These brakes are lightweight, the automaker claims, and have optimised airflow for better cooling. As indicated before, the 275-section Pirelli P Zero tyres are specially calibrated for the N model and are mounted on 21-inch forged aluminium wheels. The all-electric car can pull up to 0.6g while stopping solely using regenerative braking. Regen contributes 80–90% of the braking force when driving normally, but only 40–50% when driving on a racecourse.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Interior</h2>

<p><img alt="Ioniq 5 N 2 " height="720" src="/uploads/2023/07/Ioniq-5-N-2-.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N's interior paint job is more sporty than its standard counterpart. It gets a new steering system with paddles that may be adjusted for different purposes. The N Grin Boost button activates the boost mode. Knee padding and shin supports have been added to the centre console, which has been modified for track driving. To provide support for cornering, Hyundai strengthened the bolsters on the bucket seats, which are set 20mm lower than those on the standard Ioniq 5 N.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Hyundai Ioniq 5 N: Features &amp; More</h2>

<p>Corner Rascal, Racecourse Capability, and Everyday Sportscar are the three pillars on which the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is based. These performance pillars, according to Hyundai, are the outcome of employing modern technologies drawn from racing and years of research and development in the "Rolling Labs." The brand has further shared that the vehicle's Corner Rascal capabilities are made possible by the reinforced body and chassis components that offer excellent torsional rigidity and accurate steering response. It also enables cornering with dual-motor all-wheel drive that is rally-inspired.</p>

The Kylaq, i20 N Line, & Fronx Turbo have all the ingredients to classify as a ‘hot hatch’ for the masses, but which one can truly be called the best?

<p>
I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time!</p>

<p>Well, since July 2013 to be exact – that’s the last time I drove a Ferrari V12 convertible. And it just so happens that the Ferrari 12Cilindri is the spiritual successor of this very machine – a 1971 365 GTS, the Daytona Spider, which directly inspired the styling of the front-end of this machine.
      
    <br></p>
  
<p>At the time, even in my wildest dreams I couldn’t have possibly imagined that over a decade later, on the 16th of April 2024, Ferrari would ensure that the lineage of the front-engined V12 GT would endure, thanks to the 12Cilindri.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741785060147-1jvd-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-Front.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-Front.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>

<p>And I certainly couldn’t have predicted that I would be at Maranello on that fateful day, when both the Berlinetta and Spider would be unveiled to an unsuspecting bunch of motoring journalists from across the globe. But that was just the unveil. This would finally be my chance to get behind the wheel – here in Cascais in Portugal, on the western most tip of the European continent.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741784879542-zhk3-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-infotainment-screen.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-infotainment-screen.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The 12Cilindri Spider was kitted out in its launch livery of Verde Toscana, which was offset perfectly by the black contrasting trim. And, to my eyes, it’s an absolutely stunning machine – a design that, for some reason, the pictures simply do no justice! It’s clean and elegant, while being muscular and curvaceous at the same time. There’s a timelessness to the design, and I personally think it’ll age very well indeed.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>So, what’s all the fuss about?</h2>

<p>Well, the name is a dead giveaway – the car is pronounced Dodici Cilindri, which literally translates to 12 cylinders in Italian. The engine was so important to this machine – so central to Ferrari in fact – that they decided to name this car after its engine configuration. You see, across the industry, engines are either being downsized and turbocharged or hybridised, or both, so the idea of a naturally aspirated V12 is not just truly alluring but also incredibly courageous from the Prancing Horse. </p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741784948629-7w76-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-Rear-View.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-Rear-View.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Now that’s not to say that Ferrari hasn’t also gone down the turbo and hybrid route already – in fact, with its performance flagship, the SF90, it’s attached a pair of turbos to a V8, not to mention added a battery pack and a set of motors to give it 1,000 horsepower and all-wheel drive. Meanwhile, in the achingly beautiful and spectacularly fast 296, it’s even gone down the V6 route (which is also turbocharged and hybridised) for the first time since the Dino in the 60s. And, of course, it’s also heading down the EV route, with its first all-electric supercar that will be revealed later this year.</p><p>But Ferrari also wants to retain the essence of its GT cars from the 50s and 60s, which is where the 12Cilindri comes in. And so, this successor to the 812 Superfast gave up its ultimate performance throne to the SF90 and instead embraced its GT roots to make the most of the V12 under the bonnet – which can be both incredibly refined but also insanely explosive, depending on what you do with your right foot.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>So, what’s under the hood?</h2>

<p>Now, we’ve been over the specs before, but it bears repeating – it’s a 6.5-litre V12 that produces a scarcely believable 128bhp per litre for a total power output of 818bhp at 9,250rpm and 678Nm at 7,250rpm. It redlines at, brace yourself, 9,500rpm, and it’s so incredibly smooth, plus it revs so fast thanks to its titanium conrods, that you can get up to the redline and not even know it unless you’re looking at the digital tach on the instrument cluster.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741784971851-vk7o-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-1.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Yes, it reaches 100km/h in 2.9 seconds and 200km/h in 7.9 seconds from a standstill, but it also has a cabin outfitted with the finest handstitched Italian leather and all the tech you can possibly imagine. It gets three displays – one for the instrument cluster, one for the central screen, where you can connect your phone, and the third is a passenger screen integrated into the dash, so your unsuspecting co-driver can keep an eye on the revs as he or she hangs on for dear life.</p>
  
    
  


<p>Of course, in true Ferrari fashion, it’s got massive gear shift paddles mounted to the steering column – as opposed to onto the steering wheel – which is just how I like them because you always know where they are. The steering wheel has wiper controls and indicator buttons, as well the famous Manettino switch, which you use to control the driving modes. But it also has a very innocuous button on a panel off to one side of the steering wheel that’s marked HELE, which stands for ‘High Emotion, Low Emission.’ That’s Ferrari-speak for the Auto Start-Stop button. Most cars would have an ‘A’ inside a circle, but that just wouldn’t do on a Ferrari. But the thing is that it’s not contrived in the cabin of this car. It’s simply a result of the Ferrari mindset of passion and precision. Of course, they strive for absolute performance and aim for perfection, but at the heart of every decision is emotion – the emotion it evokes when you interact with the machine. And you get a sense of that ethos from everyone who works at Maranello, regardless of whether that person is in his or her first week or a veteran who’s been there for decades.
      
<br></p>
  
<h2>So, what’s it like from behind the wheel?</h2>

<p>Well, I would love to tell you that I spent my time in the 12Cilindri Spider bouncing off the 9,500rpm rev limiter, but in fact we were met with a torrential downpour that felt less like Southern Europe and more like South Mumbai in the monsoon. But what these conditions did was usher in a complete revelation in terms of just what this Ferrari GT is capable of.</p>

<p>You would imagine that an 800+ horsepower rear drive beast would be a terrifying experience in the pouring rain – especially on the tight and twisting coastal roads of Portugal, but in in truth, with the Manettino set to ‘Wet,’ it was almost as docile as a Fiat Panda. But the minute you bury your right foot into the carpet, it quickly turns into a thoroughbred stallion – but never a bucking Bronco. You can see the traction control button flashing away on the dash as you try and overwhelm the rear tyres, but the electronics are so well calibrated that it modulates the power perfectly to match the prevailing levels of grip. Sure, you can always get in over your head with that much power on tap but show a little restraint and the 12Cilindri will humour and entertain you in equal measure.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741785017763-ioei-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-Rear-Three-Quarter.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Of course, any opportunity I got between the near incessant showers, I dropped the top to hear that V12 howl. Sure, it’s slightly muted because of a pair of catalytic convertors and petrol particulate filters, but in ‘Race’ mode, with the flaps in the exhaust open, it’s enough to make your hair stand on end and send chills down your spine. But, really, what stands out in this car is its sheer poise and balance. No one does cohesion quite like Ferrari. Sure, a lot of manufacturers do power and speed quite well, but no one does it with this much style and finesse.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/03/1741785044538-hxid-Ferrari-12Cilindri-Spider-Side-Profile.webp" alt="Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider-Side-Profile.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>

    
  


<p>So, what you’re getting in the 12Cilindri is a level of performance &amp; style mated to a versatility &amp; usability that’s simply unmatched. You get bragging rights and the ultimate tech of course, but what really sets this machine apart is its breadth of capability, which is in a league of one. This really is a car that you can drive cross-country to your favourite racetrack, have a blast at the limit, and then drive home again at breakneck speed – in true GT fashion.</p>

<p>Job well done Ferrari! Thank you for flying the V12 flag – may you continue to do so for a long time to come…</p>

Ferrari 12Cilindri Spider First Drive Review: Versatility in Verde

We drove a naturally-aspirated V12, convertible Ferrari offering maximum involvement but a torrential downpour threatened to spoil the party.

<p>We were quite eager to&nbsp;get our hands on this bike since it was first teased at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/eicma-2024-top-india-bound-motorcycles-to-watch-out-for-118832/">EICMA</a>. The <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/ktm-390-adventure-review-first-ride-107195/">old 390 Adventure</a> was a blast, don't get me wrong, but it had its quirks, especially when pushed off-road. After spending six months commuting on the Royal Enfield Himalayan, I was curious to see how this new KTM stacked up. Well, we recently had the opportunity to thoroughly ride and test it, and let me tell you that it's a significant leap forward. This isn't just a refresh; it's a full-fledged evolution.</p><div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
      <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740405360146-iso3-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-5.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 5.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
    </div>
  <p><br></p><h2>KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: Design and Quality<br></h2><p>Let's talk about the design first. It's definitely going to spark debate, but personally, I like it. That rugged rally-inspired Dakar vibe works in its favour. The tall windscreen and short front fender look the part, though I did notice a bit of wind noise from the Indian-spec number plate mount while riding, but it's a minor niggle.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/kawasaki-klx-230-review-more-capable-than-hero-xpulse-200-and-re-himalayan-450-118831/">Kawasaki KLX 230 Review: More Capable Than Hero Xpulse 200 and RE Himalayan 450?</a></p><p>KTM has tackled some key issues. The 21-inch front and
17-inch rear spoke wheels with tubeless Apollo Tramplr tyres are a huge plus.
The WP Apex suspension is another standout upgrade, offering a noticeably more
compliant and capable ride. An India-specific tweak – the offset rear monoshock
– lowers the seat height to 830mm in the Adventure variant and 825mm in the
Adventure X. On top of that, ground clearance has been increased to a solid
237mm, addressing a major concern from the previous model.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740405472650-uxpi-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-13.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 13.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
  <p>The pigmented body panels are a nice touch, promising better scratch resistance since they're painted during the moulding process itself. And the standard kit – knuckle guards, engine guard, and bash plate – is quite useful for off-road scrapes. The forged foot levers feel solid, and you can remove the rubber inserts for better grip while riding&nbsp;in the dirt. My only gripe? The flimsy all-plastic knuckle guards&nbsp;–&nbsp;they would have been much better with metal reinforcements.&nbsp;</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740405792534-0shu-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-7.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 7.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The new bespoke ADV tubular trellis subframe – KTM claims
that it’s 10% more rigid – feels solid and enhances the bike’s overall
stability. Despite the weight dropping to 183kgs, the 14.5-litre fuel tank
remains unchanged. The overall fit and finish are excellent, offering a premium
feel throughout. The 5-inch bonded TFT screen, borrowed from the new 390 Duke,
is crisp, clear, and easily readable even in bright sunlight.<br></p><h2>KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: Ergonomics and Features<br></h2><p>The riding position is comfortable and upright – perfect for
long days in the saddle. The new KTM 390 Adventure feels large when you're off
it but seems to shrink around you once you get on and start moving. The
controls are intuitive, and the switchgear is easy to reach. Cruise control is
a welcome addition for highway stints, and the ride modes – Rain, Street, and
Off-Road – are simple to toggle through. A big plus is that ride mode settings
remain unchanged even after switching off the ignition – a thoughtful touch
indeed!</p>
<p>Phone connectivity and navigation feel slick, and the
voice-activated calling is a nice convenience. Unlike the Duke 390, which can
only receive calls, the 390 Adventure allows you to make calls directly from
the bike. Finally, the electronics suite – which includes cornering ABS,
switchable cornering traction control, Quickshifter+, and customizable ride
modes – works seamlessly to enhance both safety and performance.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/royal-enfield-himalayan-in-depth-review-the-flying-sherpa-115536/">Royal Enfield Himalayan Review: The Flying Sherpa!</a></p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740405914040-dchb-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-1.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 1.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><h2>KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: Performance and Handling<br></h2><p>Now, let’s get to the good stuff – how it rides. The LC4c
399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine is noticeably smoother, thanks to
the 5mm offset crank. It delivers better low-end grunt than the previous model
but still loves to be revved. Peak power kicks in 1,000rpm sooner, making it
more accessible.</p>
<p>That said, there’s still a noticeable lag before the bike
starts moving. I noticed that it stalled a couple of times when
setting off from a standstill off-road, but far less frequently than the old
bike.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740405943424-ag92-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-15.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 15.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>Acceleration is brisk, with 0 – 60 km/h achieved in 2.6
seconds and 0 – 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds – both quicker than the previous
generation model. The improved mid-range power is quite evident, delivering
faster 30 – 70 km/h roll-on acceleration.
Cruise control, which activates above 20 km/h, performs well
on the highway, especially when paired with Quickshifter+, making for a smooth
and hassle-free touring experience.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/2024-yezdi-adventure-first-ride-review-better-than-the-himalayan-117960/">2024 Yezdi Adventure First Ride Review: Better Than The Himalayan?</a></p><p>The bike’s heat management has improved, thanks to the
curved radiator and reprofiled shrouds that divert hot air away from the rider
– a definite and noticeable upgrade. The underbelly exhaust, with its claimed
400mm water-wading capacity, handles water crossings with ease, even when the
water level reaches the engine guards.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740406032170-z2yg-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-3.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 3.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>The WP Apex suspension has received a significant upgrade,
offering a much more compliant ride, as it effortlessly absorbs bumps and rough
terrain. The adjustable open-cartridge system provides 30 steps of compression
and rebound adjustment at the front, 20 steps at the rear, and 10 steps of
preload adjustment at the rear, allowing for fine-tuning across various riding
conditions.
While the increased suspension travel is a welcome
improvement, I did notice the front forks bottoming out a couple of times
during intense off-road testing – enough to throw me off the line slightly. That
said, it’s a fair trade-off for the bike’s sharp on-road dynamics and a huge
improvement over the previous model’s overly stiff setup, which was a common
complaint.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740406059851-vvw3-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-4.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 4.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>
    Off-road, the bike feels light, balanced, and predictable in
technical sections. Compared to the Himalayan, it’s noticeably sharper and more
responsive. The Apollo Tramplr tyres performed decently across varied on- and
off-road conditions. However, since we didn’t lower the tyre pressure when
going off-road, the front end lacked a bit of bite.
The brakes – a 320mm floating disc with a twin-piston calliper
up front and a 240mm rear disc with a single-piston calliper – are strong and
provide good feedback.</p><p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/royal-enfield-himalayan-vs-triumph-scrambler-400x-115920/">2024 Royal Enfield Himalayan vs Triumph Scrambler 400X: Which is Better for Everyday Adventure?</a></p><h2>KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: Verdict<br></h2><p>So, is the new KTM 390 Adventure worth the hype? Absolutely.
It’s a complete and far more refined package. The improvements in engine
smoothness, suspension compliance, and overall capability are substantial. It
still retains the fun, hooligan character we love, but now it’s more versatile
and capable than ever.</p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/02/1740406224156-l0fz-KTM-390-Adventure-Web-6.webp" alt="KTM 390 Adventure Web 6.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p><p>For
someone like me, who loves venturing off the beaten path, this bike is a
serious contender. It’s fun, capable, and feels right. While I’m still eager to
do a proper back-to-back comparison with its rivals, my initial impressions are
overwhelmingly positive. This is a true adventure bike that delivers on its
promises.<br></p>

KTM 390 Adventure First Ride Review: It's Everything You Wanted, And More!

The wait is over. The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure is here, and it's a game-changer. We rode it, pushing it to its limits, and here's our honest take.

<p>Ather introduced their revolutionary Magic Twist regenerative braking system with the 450 Apex, a limited edition model. Then they brought traction control with the Rizta and now, you get the best of both worlds with the updated 450X…and also the new Apex. I got a chance to test out the Magic Twist and the updated traction control system on the new scooter at a go-kart track and even on some off-road patches. So, how good is the 450X now?</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n1zqFDNCeAE?si=8D0u5vi9QkL4qFhH" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<h2>2025 Ather 450X Review: New Modes and Regen</h2>

<p>The first thing I want to highlight is the multi-level traction control system. While the Rizta had a simpler on-and-off toggle, the new 450 scooters get multiple levels — Rain, Road and Rally. You can also completely switch it off if you want. As one would expect, the traction control system is the most active when you select Rain while Road is meant for daily usage.</p>

<p>In the Rally mode, the traction control is a lot more lenient and it allows you to kick up some dirt. We tested the modes on some loose sand and it worked really well. There is an appreciable difference when testing the scooter in extreme conditions. While the 450X, does not really need a traction control system, it is good to see it nonetheless.</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Ather 450X Off Road" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-off-road.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The 450X still gets the same 8.4bhp motor that is capable of producing 26Nm. It is still just as fun to ride and just as responsive too. Ather has introduced a new set of tyres from MRF&nbsp;with the updated scooters. These tyres have been developed specially for the 450 and are meant to offer more range while not compromising grip. And I must say, that I hardly noticed any issue with the grip from the new rubber. Combined with the new regen braking, this setup is claimed to substantially increase the real-world range of the scooter. As per Ather, the TruRange of the 3.7kWh model has gone up from 105km to 130km. That is a healthy boost and we will be eager to test it out when we have the scooter for a longer time.</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Ather 450X Tyres" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-tyres.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>What I do feel is a missed opportunity is that there is still no ABS. I think adding ABS over traction control would have been more useful. I did find myself locking the brakes a couple of times when on the track. While you may argue that people ride more gently on the road, let me remind you that the conditions out there can be rather unpredictable. Also, now that the 450X supports traction control modes and regen levels along with ride modes, I think that Ather should display them on the screen as well. This would help the rider in knowing what levels of various settings the scooter is in, rather than having to dig deep into menus.</p>

<h2>2025 Ather 450X Review: Colour Options and UI Updates</h2>

<p>Ather has not changed any aspect of the scooter’s design so it remains the same as before. There are, however, two new colour options available now - Hyper Sand and Stealth Blue. I particularly like the Hyper Sand colour options as it has a nice finish and looks rather refreshing. As a bonus, if you get this colour option, you will not have to worry about the scooter looking dirty because of the shade.</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Ather 450X Screen" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-screen.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The new 450 scooters also get Atherstack 6 as part of the software suite. The instrument cluster is the same touch unit and is packed with features. However, the response is still lethargic when you use the map screen. There are noticeable stutters while you pan around. I also noticed that while most of the interface operation is smooth, there are the occasional hiccups and moments when the screen does not react as quickly.</p>

<h2>2025 Ather 450X Review: Is it better?</h2>

<p>Altogether, the 450X remains a smart and fast scooter that is more feature-rich than ever before. I feel the Magic Twist is a great addition and one that will find a lot of daily use. The traction control might be less useful but is a good safety feature still.</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Ather 450X Riding" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-riding.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>As for the pricing, it has gone up ever so slightly by Rs 6,400 for the base 450X and Rs 2,000 for the 450X with the bigger 3.7kWh battery pack.</p>

<p>Similarly, the 450 Apex has also seen a mere increase of Rs 5,001 on the effective ex-showroom price in Bengaluru. And Ather is throwing in the Halo helmet with the Apex to make it more lucrative. Altogether, despite the price hike, the scooters remain smart and safe options to pick if you are looking for an EV in this segment.<br />
