Tesla is set to make its foray into the Indian EV space soon. Some of the first cars to go on sale could be the Model Y and Model 3, as homologation testing of these EVs is already underway.
Recently, a Tesla Cybertruck was spotted on the back of a flatbed. But don’t get too excited, as this doesn’t seem to be a test mule. Given the fact that it has a Dubai registration plate, it is more likely to have been imported into the country on a Carnet for a temporary period.
The Tesla Cybertruck made its global debut in December 2023. It has a unique stainless-steel body and a 4x6-foot loading bed at the back. The Cybertruck rides on massive 35-inch tyres and has a maximum ground clearance of 432 mm.
The Cybertruck is offered in three variants. The AWD variant with a dual-motor configuration packs 600 BHP and can cover 563 km on a single charge.

The second-generation Renault Koleos has been spotted testing in India. Now, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen it on our roads. Test mules of the Koleos have been around in India since 2022, and this too could be one of the cars used for component testing.
As the badge on the tailgate suggests, this Koleos is equipped with four-wheel drive, unlike the test car that was spotted earlier.
The second-gen Renault Koleos made its debut in 2016. It is based on the CMF C/D platform, which is shared with the Espace, Talisman and Kadjar. The Koleos 4x4 is powered by a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine, which is paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Last year, Renault unveiled the Grand Koleos. The all-new SUV is based on Geely’s CMA platform and is powered by a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a twin-motor hybrid system.

Hyundai is expected to roll out the next-generation Venue later this year. The compact SUV has already been spotted testing on Indian roads, and now the sporty ‘N Line’ variant has been seen for the first time. It was recently caught testing in South Korea.
Spy images suggest that the Venue N Line will feature subtle sporty details on the outside. The test mule was seen sporting dual-tone alloy wheels with red brake calipers, dual exhausts, and a red pinstripe along the rocker panels. Other details include black ORVMs, blacked-out A and B-pillars, and roof rails with red highlights.
The overall shape of the next-gen Venue, though, looks similar to the outgoing model. It is expected to feature a split headlamp setup with a large grille and new LED taillights.
The new Venue will also get an updated interior with added features. The top-of-the-line N Line variant is expected to be equipped with Level 2 ADAS.
The next-gen Venue N Line could be offered with the same 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine as the current model. It produces 118 BHP and 172 Nm and is paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT.

The Jawa 42 FJ could soon get a major update. A prototype sporting a single-sided exhaust instead of the dual exhausts on the current bike was recently spotted testing.
The Jawa 42 FJ could benefit from this exhaust configuration in many ways. For starters, it will reduce the overall weight of the bike significantly, resulting in a better power-to-weight ratio. Besides sheer performance, the lack of weight would also have a positive impact on the handling.
Other details worth mentioning include the round LED headlamp and multi-spoke alloy wheels. The bike has a teardrop-shaped fuel tank, wide handlebars and a single-piece seat.
The new Jawa 42 FJ is expected to be powered by the same 334cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It delivers 29 BHP and 30 Nm and comes paired with a 6-speed gearbox via a slip and assist clutch.

The Triumph Scrambler 400 XC was recently spotted testing without any camouflage. It will feature a two-tone paint scheme, cross-spoke wheels with a raised front fender, and a rugged metal bash plate.
The Scrambler 400 XC is expected to be powered by the same 398cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine as the standard model. This unit puts out 39.5 BHP and 37.5 Nm and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
The Scrambler 400 XC is likely to be positioned above the standard model. It also means that the upgrades will come at a premium.
