This week was quite interesting with a lot of interesting news. We saw an exciting car launch and a bike launch; an electric scooter was discontinued, and an upcoming one was spied as well. Here’s a overview of the top 5 headlines of this week:
2026 Bajaj Chetak Launched
Bajaj Auto launched the updated Chetak range in India this week. The updated scooters got new nomenclature, more top speed, and even Google Maps navigation is now offered on one of them as standard. And, the most interesting part, the price is still the same.
New Oben Electric Bike Launched
Oben just launched the Rorr Evo, a new sporty electric commuter bike in India. The bike gets upwards of 150km of true range, has a 110kmph top speed, and is priced just under Rs 1 lakh.
TVS iQube S Discontinued
TVS has discontinued the iQube S, the mid-spec variant of the TVS iQube. It shared its battery pack with the standard 3.4kWh variant. We think it has been discontinued to give the buyers a clearer variant lineup to choose from.
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Facelift Launched
Hyundai has launched the 2026 Ioniq 5 at Rs 55.70 lakh. The flagship electric car from the Korean brand now gets more range, updated styling, and a bunch of modern features as well.
Ather EL-01 Test Mule Spotted
A test mule of an upcoming Ather family scooter was spotted testing on Indian roads. The new scooter will likely be based on the Ather EL-01 platform and will have a 14-inch front wheel for better stability. The new Ather family scooter will be priced just above Rs 1 lakh, but just below the Ather Rizta.
