Honda X-ADV 750 launched

Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India (HMSI) has introduced the latest X-ADV 750. This maxi-scooter's debut in India is unexpected, as the company registered the nameplate patent in 2022. The design of the X-ADV draws heavily from adventure touring motorcycles. Customers can now place orders for the new scooter at BigWing dealerships, with deliveries expected to commence in June.

The X-ADV is equipped with a 745 cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine, delivering 54 bhp at 6,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 68 Nm at 4,750 rpm. This engine is paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

MG Windsor Pro gets a new lower variant

JSW MG Motor India has introduced an additional variant to the Windsor Pro series, making the model more accessible in terms of pricing. The newly launched MG Windsor Pro is available in the 'Exclusive' variant, which is priced at ₹17.25 lakh (ex-showroom) for the fixed battery option. For those choosing the Battery as a Service (BaaS) option, the initial payment will be ₹12.24 lakh, accompanied by a battery rental fee of ₹4.5 per km. Reservations for the new Exclusive Pro trim are now being accepted.

The MG Windsor Exclusive Pro is priced approximately ₹85,000 less than the premium Essence Pro variant. This lower-tier model lacks several features such as the Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), an electrically operated tailgate, and the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging capabilities, among others. Nevertheless, the Windsor Exclusive Pro maintains the beige and black interior, new diamond-cut alloy wheels, and the larger 52.9 kWh battery pack.
