Can you suggest a luxury plug-in hybrid SUV? Also, when is the Range Rover EV expected to launch in India? My yearly commute is around 25,000 km.

Asked by: Nitin

The Range Rover Autobiography and the Land Rover Defender 110 are currently the only plug-in hybrid luxury SUVs on sale in India. However, if you're looking for something sportier and more performance-focused, you can consider the BMW XM. The BMW XM on road price in Surat is ₹2.90 Crore.

As for the Range Rover EV, the production version is scheduled to make its global debut later this year, so it’s expected to arrive in India sometime next year. Range Rover Electric prototype testing is already underway, with JLR currently conducting cold-weather trials in the Arctic Circle.

Is there any chance that Honda may relaunch the Honda CB300R again in India?

The Honda CB300R has presently been discontinued in India, and there is no official word on its return. However, we do know that the company is working on bringing the Rebel 300 cruiser - a bike that shares its engine with the CB300R - to India with a lot of localised content to ensure competitive pricing.This also paves the way for the CB300R to return to our market in the future, perhaps with a few new features thrown in. We recommend reaching out to your nearest Honda BigWing dealer and speaking to them for more clarity.

Hey everyone, I am looking to buy a new bike to commute and for occasional rides. My commute is almost 60 km every day. I am confused whether I should get a 100-125cc commuter or go for the XSR, which really caught my eye. I am on a strict budget, so I would like to know your thoughts.

The Yamaha XSR155 is a great motorcycle with its pleasing neo-retro looks and proven performance-oriented engine and underpinnings. It is a great bike to commute on in almost all respects but one - its stiff rear suspension. Since the XSR155 uses an R15-derived chassis, its suspension comfort over bad roads isn't great. If your long commute involves a lot of bad roads or broken surfaces, we would recommend you look elsewhere.In the 125cc commuter category, there are plenty of great options like the Hero Xtreme 125R, Glamour / Super Splendor, Honda Shine, and TVS Raider. A test ride will help you decide which bike is best suited for your needs.

Hello team. I am currently using the Triumph Scrambler 400X, and it is one of the best motorcycle purchases I have ever made. However, the buzz in the foot pegs bothers me a lot. I am now planning to buy a Honda NX500 as a lifetime purchase. Does this make sense, or should I save money and get a more exciting big bike?

The Honda NX500 is a great middleweight ADV with a refined engine, good ride and handling and being a Japanese bike, it will last you a long time while being relatively easy to maintain too. Its asking price is quite steep, but for some, its reliability and low ownership costs are worth that tradeoff.Coming to whether you should buy a more exciting big bike, that is a question only you can answer for yourself. Big bikes are exciting, capable and striking things to own, but also have high maintenance costs, lower fuel economy and any replacement parts you might need are usually pricey and not readily available.If that sounds like something you can live with, then you can save up and buy a bigger adventure bike like the Honda XL750 Transalp, Triumph Tiger 900, Suzuki V-Strom 800DE or Ducati Multistrada V2.

I have been using the Hero Xoom 110 for almost three years now. It delivers good fuel efficiency of around 55-60kmpl and is easy to handle due to its light weight. However, I am facing vibration issues with the scooter and have also had poor service experiences at service centres. Please guide me if I should go for the TVS Ntorq 150 or the Yamaha RayZR Street Rally 125.

The Yamaha RayZR 125 Fi Street Rally will feel like a small step up from your Xoom in terms of performance while continuing to return good fuel efficiency because of its hybrid assist, stop/start system and light weight. Yamaha products are known for their reliability, refinement and aren't expensive to maintain, so the Ray is a good option to consider.The TVS Ntorq 150 will feel like a big step up from your Xoom 110 because of its exciting and brisk performance. Do bear in mind that fuel efficiency will take a big hit if you ride enthusiastically, and that TVS doesn't have the best reputation when it comes to after-sales service. However, as a fun-to-ride scooter, you'll struggle to do much better than the Ntorq today.
