<p>Earlier this month, Kia introduced the new-generation Carnival, with an ex-showroom starting price of Rs 63.90 lakh. This marks an increase of nearly Rs 30 lakh compared to the previous model. While the former version was a fully imported CBU, the 2024&nbsp;Carnival is a locally assembled CKD model. Bookings for the upgraded premium MPV opened on September 16, and within just 24 hours, the car&nbsp;secured more than 1,822 reservations, setting a new record. The Kia model&nbsp;is available in two colour options: Fusion Black and Glacier White Pearl.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the carmaker&nbsp;has now commenced the deliveries of this luxury MPV in India, with former cricketer Suresh Raina being the first customer to receive it. The Carnival he bought is decked out in&nbsp;Glacier White Pearl.&nbsp;The handover took place at the Jayanti Kia dealership in Delhi NCR. The dealership also shared pictures and videos of the same on its official Instagram handle.</p>

<h2>2024 Kia Carnival Limousine: Exterior and Powertrain Options</h2>

<p>The 2024 Carnival marks a significant departure from its predecessor, showcasing an eye-catching SUV-inspired design. The front boasts a larger, more pronounced grille, accompanied by vertically stacked LED headlights and distinctive L-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs). It comes fitted with 18-inch alloy wheels, and the body cladding along the sides gives the Kia Carnival a more rugged look, moving away from its previous van-like appearance. At the rear, the model features Kia's signature modern design elements, including connected LED tail lamps that echo the styling found in the brand's latest vehicles.</p>

<p>Mechanically,&nbsp;the Carnival is equipped with a 2.2-litre diesel engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It delivers a power output of 190bhp and 441Nm of torque, with a claimed fuel efficiency of 14.85 km/l.</p>

<h2>2024 Kia Carnival Limousine: Features</h2>

<p>The new MPV boasts a sharper, boxier design than its predecessor, while its interior retains a familiar look found in other Kia models. Notable features include dual 12.3-inch curved displays, wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual electric sunroofs, three-zone climate control, an 11-inch head-up display, a 12-way adjustable driver’s seat, and a premium 12-speaker Bose audio system. A standout aspect is the powered second-row captain's chairs, which have heating, ventilation, and extendable leg support.</p>

<p>For enhanced passenger safety, the 2024 model is equipped with eight airbags, a 360-degree camera, rear and side parking sensors, ABS with EBD, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and Level-2 ADAS features, including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning.</p>

<h2>2024 Kia Carnival Limousine: Competition Check</h2>

<p>In our market, the Carnival has no direct rivals, but it does compete with several models, including the Maruti Suzuki Invicto, Toyota Innova Hycross, MG Gloster, and Toyota Fortuner.</p>


2024 Kia Carnival Deliveries Commence in India, Cricketer Suresh Raina Becomes First Owner

Bookings for the 2024 Kia Carnival opened on September 16, and within just 24 hours, the MPV secured more than 1,822 reservations, setting a new record.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/">Kia</a> launched the facelifted Carnival MPV in early October in India, and while the company shared powertrain details of the MPV, its fuel efficiency number was not declared then. In the latest development, Kia has officially revealed the ARAI-certified fuel efficiency figure of the new Carnival. And it is rated at 14.85km/l, up by 0.95km/l. This makes the updated Carnival more fuel-efficient than its predecessor, even though the powertrain setup remains the same&nbsp;– a&nbsp;2.2-litre, four-cylinder, CRDi turbocharged diesel&nbsp;engine with&nbsp;an eight-speed automatic transmission.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The diesel engine in the new Carnival utilises aluminium, while the engine in the outgoing model was based on a cast iron block. The power and torque figures stand at&nbsp;193bhp&nbsp;and 441Nm, respectively. The previous model made 200bhp and 440Nm of peak torque.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Arrived through a CKD (completely knocked down) route, the new Kia Carnival is available only in a single, fully-loaded variant&nbsp;–&nbsp;Limousine Plus. In its new avatar, the MPV brings an updated&nbsp;SUV-like design, an overhauled cabin, and lots of equipment, carrying a price tag of Rs 63.90 lakh (ex-showroom). Unlike the outgoing model, the new-generation Carnival comes in a seven-seat configuration.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>2024 Kia Carnival: Features</h2>

<p>While the new MPV looks sharper and boxier than its predecessor, its interior appears similar to other Kia models. Highlights include&nbsp;twin 12.3-inch curved screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,&nbsp;dual electric sunroofs,&nbsp;three-zone climate control,&nbsp;an 11-inch head-up display,&nbsp;a 12-way powered driver’s seat, and a 12-speaker Bose sound system. The most significant feature is&nbsp;the powered second-row captain seats with&nbsp;heating, ventilation, and extendable leg support.</p>

<h2>2024 Kia Carnival: Safety Kit</h2>

<p>For passenger safety, the 2024 iteration offers&nbsp;8 airbags, a 360-degree camera, rear and side parking sensors,&nbsp;ABS with EBD, a&nbsp;tyre pressure monitoring system, and Level-2 ADAS features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning.</p>

2024 Kia Carnival Fuel Efficiency Number Revealed, Claims 14.85km/l

The 2024 Kia Carnival gets the same 2.2-litre, four-cylinder, CRDi turbocharged diesel engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission, albeit with less power and more torque.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/">Kia</a> has relaunched the Carnival in&nbsp;India&nbsp;as an updated fourth-gen&nbsp;model. Available at&nbsp;an ex-showroom price of Rs 63.90 lakh, the luxury MPV arrives in the country as&nbsp;a completely built-up (CBU) unit&nbsp;before eventually moving to the completely knocked down&nbsp;(CKD) route.

<p>Additionally, body cladding along the sides lends the Kia Carnival, a rugged appearance, moving away from its former, more traditional van-like look. At the rear, the model&nbsp;incorporates Kia's signature modern elements with connected LED tail lamps, reflecting the design language seen in the brand's latest models.&nbsp;There are two paint job&nbsp;options: Glacier White Pearl or Fusion Black.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New Kia Carnival: Interior Layout and Features</h2>

<p>Inside, the Kia model has&nbsp;a 7-seat configuration arranged in a 2+2+3 layout.&nbsp;The&nbsp;cabin combines modern tech and high-quality materials. The interior theme varies by variant: the base Limousine trim has&nbsp;a dark blue and grey colour scheme, while the Limousine Plus variant adorns a brown and black theme.</p>

<p>When it comes to amenities, the Carnival boasts&nbsp;a 12.3-inch touchscreen that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay,&nbsp;an 11-inch head-up display (HUD),&nbsp;a 12.3-inch digital driver's display,&nbsp;connected car tech,&nbsp;two single-pane electric sunroofs, a 12-speaker Bose sound system,&nbsp;powered and ventilated seats for the first and second rows,&nbsp;electrically operated sliding doors,&nbsp;wireless phone charging, and three-zone climate control.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New Kia Carnival: Powertrain Setup&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Coming to the mechanical side of things, Kia&nbsp;will provide only one powertrain option in the Indian market. The new Carnival&nbsp;will continue to be powered&nbsp;by the same Smartstream&nbsp;2.2-litre, four-cylinder, CRDi turbocharged diesel&nbsp;engine, as the previous model.&nbsp;This unit belts out&nbsp;190bhp of maximum power&nbsp;and 441Nm of peak&nbsp;torque. It comes&nbsp;coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission, sending power to the front wheels. Meanwhile, the global-spec model&nbsp;is available with&nbsp;a 3.5-litre V6 petrol unit&nbsp;and&nbsp;a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol hybrid unit.</p>

<h2>New Kia Carnival: Appearance</h2>

<p>The fourth-generation Kia Carnival, which received a global facelift in November last year, adopts Kia's latest design philosophy. Compared to the&nbsp;third-generation model, the new Carnival features a sharper, boxier design. It showcases Kia's signature 'Tiger Nose' grille at the front, complemented by vertically stacked LED headlights and unique L-shaped LED DRLs. In India, the MPV comes equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels.</p>

<p>At the rear, the MPV is fitted with L-shaped LED taillights connected by an LED light bar. The C-pillar includes a silver chrome accent that seamlessly integrates with the chrome trim at the bottom of the rear windshield. In India, the Kia Carnival is expected to be available in two colour options: Glacier White Pearl or Fusion Black.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New Kia Carnival: What's Inside?</h2>

<p>Inside, the cabin will feature two dual-tone themes: Navy with Misty Grey, or Tuscan with Umber. Kia will likely offer the Carnival in both seven- and eight-seat configurations, with the eight-seat option featuring captain's chairs in the middle row, as indicated in a recent&nbsp;teaser. The teaser also reveals that the vehicle will have two single-pane electric sunroofs instead of a single panoramic sunroof. Additionally, the interior of the new Carnival will align with the latest Kia models, featuring a twin-screen setup with a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The dashboard will showcase&nbsp;a dual-tone design highlighted by yellow ambient lighting, with controls for the multi-zone automatic climate control and a premium audio system conveniently placed beneath the central screen. The sophisticated infotainment&nbsp;system will support&nbsp;over-the-air updates. Furthermore, the vehicle will include&nbsp;a 4.2-inch TFT instrument display, six USB Type-C ports distributed across all three rows, two power outlets, and two 115V inverters.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New Kia Carnival: Design Cues</h2>

<p>Official teasers suggest that the Indian version&nbsp;of the new Kia Carnival would look a lot like the global-spec&nbsp;model. It has the newest design elements&nbsp;from Kia, including a chrome-accented, prominent grille, four-piece LED headlamps stacked vertically and connected LED daytime running lights (DRLs). Compared to the previous model sold in India, the front end is distinguished by a broader grille and a larger, more upright nose.&nbsp;The power-sliding rear passenger doors, which are carried over from the second-generation Carnival, will remain on the sides. A fresh set of&nbsp;alloy wheels and connected&nbsp;LED taillights are further features of the new model.</p>

<h2>New Kia Carnival: Interior and&nbsp;Features</h2>

<p>Although the details of the interior layout are still under wraps, we expect the refreshed model to come with a three-row seating arrangement. The cabin could be similar to the international model, sporting a black and grey theme. In terms of features, the Carnival will probably&nbsp;boast amenities such as&nbsp;dual 12.3-inch integrated screens (one for a digital driver's display and one for infotainment), ventilated second-row seats with leg support, two single-pane sunroofs, a heads-up display, wireless phone charging, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, Level-2 ADAS with 23 autonomous functions, a digital key,&nbsp;ventilated and powered seats, a 360-degree camera, multi-zone climate control, entertainment screens for rear passengers, and six airbags.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>New Kia Carnival: Powertrain Options</h2>

In this configuration, the Carnival will produce 197bhp of maximum power&nbsp;and 440Nm&nbsp;of peak torque.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the global-spec model is available with 3.5-litre V6 petrol and 1.6-litre turbo-petrol-hybrid options.</p>

<p>Going by some market reports, the new model will be offered in a single variant upon launch. Under the hood, the facelifted Carnival will most likely&nbsp;get a&nbsp;2.2-litre diesel engine, while the global-spec Carnival comes with&nbsp;3.5-litre V6 petrol and 1.6-litre turbo-petrol-hybrid options.</p>

<p>Along with this, one can also expect a head-up display, EV9-derived seats, revamped AC controls, a digital rear-view camera, front and rear dash cameras, a digital key,&nbsp;powered front seats, a premium sound system, a wireless charger, multiple airbags, and ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems).&nbsp;</p>

<p>If the new Carnival arrives as a full import, the price could be in the&nbsp;range of Rs 32 lakh to Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom, India). It will have no direct rivals but will serve as an alternative to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/toyota/innova-hycross/">Toyota Innova Hycross</a>.</p>


New Kia Carnival Teased Ahead of India Launch on October 3, Shows Two Sunroofs, Connected LED Taillamp and More

The facelifted Kia Carnival will most likely get a 2.2-litre diesel engine, along with front and rear dash cameras, a head-up display, ventillated seats, ADAS, and more.

<p>An Instagram video shows the undisguised Kia Carnival undergoing testing in India.&nbsp;It is the fourth-generation model already on sale&nbsp;in the international market. We expect it to make its India debut sometime this year. No information on its pricing is available&nbsp;yet, but the refreshed model could fall in the&nbsp;range of Rs 32 lakh to Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom, India).&nbsp;</p>

<p>The front end of the test mule appears more upright compared to its predecessor, with the&nbsp;characteristic tiger nose grille made wider that is flanked by&nbsp;vertically stacked&nbsp;headlamps with L-shaped daytime running lights.&nbsp;There is also a redesigned&nbsp;front bumper with a small air intake, making the car look quite rugged. Along the side, the new Carnival gets a large greenhouse shape and a new alloy wheel design. At the rear, the L-shaped treatment continues as well, with the taillights connected by an LED light bar. The tailgate and rear bumper have&nbsp;been updated too.</p>

<p>In terms of size, the Carnival facelift appears&nbsp;larger than its predecessor. For your&nbsp;reference, the&nbsp;Kia KA4 showcased at the Auto Expo measures&nbsp;5,156mm long and 2,266mm wide. There aren't any interior images, but we expect Kia to redesign it similarly to the international-spec version. If true, expect it to offer&nbsp;twin curved displays for infotainment and instrumentation, both measuring 12.3 inches.</p>

<p>Along with this, one can also expect a heads-up display, multiple sunroofs, EV9-derived seats, revamped AC controls, a digital rear-view camera, a digital key,&nbsp;powered front seats, a premium sound system, a wireless charger, multiple airbags, and ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems).&nbsp;Overseas, the car is offered in 7-, 9-, and 11-seater configurations. It is unclear which of these will make its way here.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Kia Carnival Facelift: Engine</h2>

<p>Expect the 198bhp, 2.2-litre, four-cylinder, turbo-diesel&nbsp;diesel mated to an automatic transmission for the India-spec Carnival facelift. Meanwhile, the international-spec Carnival receives three distinct engine options:&nbsp;3.5-litre petrol, 1.6-litre petrol-electric, and 2.2-litre diesel. More details are yet to be made public.</p>

<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><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/honda-activa-e-qc-1-bookings-commence-in-india-119454/">Honda Activa e, QC 1 Bookings Commence in India</a></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><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/updated-ather-450s-450x-450-apex-launched-in-india-prices-start-at-rs-130-lakh-119474/">Updated Ather 450S, 450X, 450 Apex Launched in India; Prices Start at Rs 1.30 Lakh</a></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 />

2025 Ather 450X Review: The e-scooter for Rallying?

Ather is not sitting on its laurels and is taking every opportunity to make its 450 range as robust and high-tech as possible.

2025 Camry Hybrid First Drive Review: Luxury and Performance with 25kmpl

The new Toyota Camry Hybrid is a big step up from the last generation when it comes to looks, features, and how it drives, and it’s definitely for the better.

<p>Honda was probably the last big carmaker in India to enter the compact SUV scene with the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/elevate/">Elevate</a>. While their product is quite impressive, the late entry means they’ve already lost a big chunk of the market to rival brands occupying the compact SUV space for almost a decade. On the other hand, the sub-compact sedan segment has quite a different story to tell. The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/amaze/">Honda Amaze</a> has been around for a while and has done pretty well. It’s the company’s best-selling model, which consistently drives solid sales numbers for <a href="http://www.autox.com/new-cars/honda/">Honda Cars India</a>. The issue now is that aside from commercial (cab) sales, the growing trend is towards SUVs, which means compact car buyers are increasingly gravitating towards those more rugged-looking machines instead of sedans. Perhaps, that's why we don't see many updates in the compact sedan category. Thankfully, after the segment leader Maruti Suzuki Dzire, the Honda Amaze has also received a significant update. The company calls it a next-generation (third-gen) all-new model. However, we were a bit sceptical about the claim until we got behind the wheel of the new Amaze.</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/5R_56OP1n5c?si=YZft7Jkd5WfBpTyH" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/new-honda-amaze-basic-signature-and-utility-accessory-packages-explained-whats-different-119309/">New Honda Amaze Basic, Signature, and Utility Accessory Packages Explained: What's Different</a></p>

<h2>Best-looking sub-compact sedan?</h2>

<p>Now, the new Amaze, referred to by the company as the third-generation model, is based on the outgoing second-generation model, with some additional structural reinforcements. The wheelbase remains unchanged, and the side profile looks almost identical to its predecessor. The only noticeable changes are at the front and the rear. While wheels now get a machined design, it doesn't significantly alter the overall side appearance of the car.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Rear Design" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze13.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The front has undergone a complete redesign, taking inspiration from the Elevate. Features such as a mesh front grille with a flatter design and headlamp clusters show clear SUV influences. Additionally, the revised bumper also includes redesigned fog lamp housings. Moving to the back, you might be surprised by how much it resembles the Honda City, especially with the new 3D LED tail lamp clusters. In fact, if you are driving behind the new Amaze at night, you could easily mistake it for the City. The rear design is neat and clean, with no unnecessary elements.</p>

<p><img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Side View" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze14.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>Overall, while the third-generation Honda Amaze resembles the second-generation model, it combines the Elevate’s front styling with the City’s rear look. Despite the limited attractiveness in the sub-compact sedan market, it remains arguably the best-looking option available in India, offering a proper three-box design characteristic of a true sedan.</p>

<h2>A Better Experience Inside?</h2>

<p>Inside, you may not immediately notice the changes, for the cabin layout is familiar. However, there are quite a few updates, like the newly designed dashboard, with an 8-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system. This setup supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which is pretty cool. Below the infotainment, you'll find HVAC controls taken from the Elevate.&nbsp;What's great here is that everything has proper physical buttons, especially for the infotainment shortcuts.</p>

<p><img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Interior" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-11.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>I really like the presence of physical controls, for it means you don't have to take your eyes off the road as much while driving. The dashboard’s design has been refreshed too, featuring a sleek dual-tone look with an aluminium strip, which adds a nice touch. While the beige part might seem soft to the touch, it’s actually hard plastic. While there are hard plastics all around the cabin, they look and feel decent overall. The flimsy central console in the old Amaze was a big annoyance, but that’s been fixed in this new version. The touchscreen works well and connects effortlessly to your smart devices, with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Plus, the interface is simple and user-friendly. For device charging, the Amaze includes two USB ports up front, a 12V socket in the front and rear, and a handy wireless charging pad. A nice feature of the charging pad is that you can turn it off with a dedicated button. It would’ve been nice if Honda had included a Type-C port too, since most new smartphones use Type-C cables nowadays.</p>

<p><img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Infotainment" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-9.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The steering wheel looks like it has been lifted from the Honda City but without the leatherette feel. Still, it’s loaded with controls for the infotainment, ADAS features, and the info display on the new instrument cluster, which feels pretty City-like. The cluster has a 7-inch TFT display for all the important info, along with a traditional needle for speed. The seats have been given a bit of a makeover with better bolstering, but the cushioning and fabric remain the same as before, even in the higher trims. They’re quite comfortable, though. Space management has always been a top highlight of the Honda Amaze, and the new model just adds to it. It's been widened slightly, adding extra room for rear-seat passengers and more boot space.</p>

<p><img alt="New Gen Honda Amaze Rear Seat" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-1.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>Space was never an issue with the Amaze; it easily fits four adults and up to five mid-size suitcases. You might wonder why there’s a problem fitting a fifth person, and that's because the Amaze finally comes with rear AC vents, which were much needed. However, those centrally-mounted vents can make legroom a bit cramped for the person sitting in the middle at the back. On the bright side, the cabin now cools down faster and better than before.</p>

<h2>Drives Differently?</h2>

<p>The driving experience of the third-generation Honda Amaze is again not a complete departure from the outgoing version, especially in terms of ergonomics. That, however, was not even a problem in the previous iteration. The steering wheel, driver seat, and foot pedals are excellently positioned, instantly offering you a comfortable driving posture. Coming to the drivetrain, the same 1.2-litre four-cylinder i-VTEC petrol engine is the sole option here, and it continues with the same 5-speed manual and CVT automatic gearbox options to choose from in all three trim levels. While most other brands have shifted to more economical three-cylinder configurations, the Amaze still offers the four-cylinder configuration, but the good thing is that it's slightly more refined. Now, we expected Honda to add a bit more punch to this drivetrain, but unfortunately, that's not the case. It continues to deliver about 89 horsepower and 110Nm of torque. Now, the power output here is pretty adequate for this kind of setup, but the torque could have been improved. Honda says that they have altered the tuning of the engine as well as of the gearbox a bit, but we didn't quite feel the changes. The engine still sounds strained when you press hard on the throttle pedal, but you don't quite feel inside the cabin, perhaps, because the overall structure is now more strengthened. Honda also seems to have reworked the insulation of the Amaze, for it filters out the engine noise and road harshness more effectively, offering a slightly quieter ride experience than before.</p>

<p><img alt="New Honda Amaze Front and Side Design" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-12.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>Now, coming to the gearbox, we drove the CVT version of the new Honda Amaze. This is probably the only car on the market with the smoother CVT gearbox, as most of the competition has shifted to AMTs, with the fun of paddle shifters whenever you need a manual downshift for overtakes or engine braking.</p>

<p><img alt="Honda Amaze Gear Shift" src="/uploads/2024/12/New-Gen-Honda-Amaze-10.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>One thing that I was expecting in the new Amaze was a better suspension setup. However, it feels more or less the same as that of the outgoing model. The softer setup of the car gobbles all the road undulations without any hiccup at low speeds, but the high-speed damping and the stability beyond three-digit speeds remain questionable. Maybe that's another reason Honda is not even offering any more powerful drivetrain options. To be honest, this setup is near perfect for your daily city commutes as well as some occasional short weekend escapes, especially considering the enhanced safety kit of the new Honda Amaze.</p>

<h2>The Most Affordable ADAS&nbsp;Car in India</h2>

<p>Honda has enhanced the structure of the Amaze by incorporating 45 per cent high-tensile steel, reflecting their commitment to safety. The vehicle comes equipped with a range of safety features, including six airbags, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, rear parking sensors, Hill Start Assist, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) with Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, and ISOFIX-compatible rear seats. Additionally, all five passengers have access to seatbelts and head restraints, starting from the base V grade. The mid-level VX grade adds a rearview camera and a Lane Watch system, which provides a view of the side lane on the infotainment screen when the turn indicators are activated. This feature is particularly useful, as it helps minimise blind spots when changing lanes or directions.</p>

<p>The standout feature of the new Amaze is in the top-end ZX grade, which starts at Rs 9.67 lakh (ex-showroom) for the manual transmission variant. It is now the most affordable car in India to offer an Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) package. It includes Honda Sensing technology, which, in the Elevate SUV,&nbsp;has previously performed well in tests. This camera-based system includes features such as Collision Mitigation Braking, Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lead Car Departure Notification, and Auto High Beam. While these features enhance safety during forward motion, there is no ADAS support for reversing.</p>

<p>This is the first time a manufacturer has introduced a level-2 ADAS package in a car priced under ten lakh rupees, which is a significant milestone. Overall, these features contribute to making the Amaze a safer choice compared to many other options on the market. In fact, the Elevate, which uses the same Honda Sensing technology, was one of the top performers in our recent Mega ADAS test.</p>

<h2>Next-gen or Facelift?</h2>

<p>While the platform and drivetrain remain unchanged, we can't truly categorise this as a next-generation version. However, the numerous updates both inside and out, along with the addition of new features, make it much more than just a simple facelift. As mentioned earlier, it is arguably the best-looking car in its segment.</p>

<p>Honda has decided not to offer a base variant this time, perhaps, because&nbsp;sales patterns suggest that most customers opt for either the mid or top variants. For these variants, Honda has packed the new Amaze with features right from the starting point. Although it lacks certain luxury features like a sunroof or an automatic IRVM, it includes all the essentials and offers enhanced safety. Consequently, the Honda Amaze is a great value-for-money offering in the compact sedan segment.</p>
