The Karizma is back. Hero's biggest model brand name returns to the Indian market in the form of a sportsbike wearing the iconic yellow colour as the original. But now, surprise, it's a sportsbike! And it features Hero's first four-valve double overhead camshaft engine too! On MotorInc First, Kartikeya and Shumi discuss the new bike, what it's supposed to do and how it relates to the original.

Ather's created a new entry price point into their range with the introduction of the 450S. It looks the same as the more expensive 450X but it has a smaller battery with 90km of range and a clever LCD screen instead of the touchscreen on the X. Ather also uses this smaller battery and lower output motor output configuration to create the Ather 450X middle model which is kinda confusing for sure. Kartikeya and Shumi are discussing the new model and the confusion/opportunity it represents on MotorInc First

Kia opened their books in India with the Kia Seltos in 2019. Hyundai's sister brand has done well in the intervening four years offering the kind of cabin experience that's driven sales upwards. For 2023, Kia's just rolled out a series of updates to its SUV which sits at the heart of a hard-fought segment featuring the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, the Skoda Kushaq, the Volkswagen Taigun and Hyundai's best-selling Creta. Kartikeya and Shumi discuss the updates and what it means for Kia and its customers on MotorInc First.

Shumi and Kartikeya discuss Hyundai's smallest SUV so far on MotorInc First.

There's been a lot of buzz about the Triumph Speed 400. It appears to be a high quality, value for money 400 that should fit into everyone's garage. But does it?

The buzz before the Harley-Davidson X440 launch was that Hero and Harley-Davidson's new motorcycle, plus the Triumph Speed and Scrambler 400 X, would spell trouble for the Royal Enfield Classic 350. But after Shumi rode the X440, for a short time around the Hero R&D centre in Jaipur, he thinks there's more to the story than just whether the X440 is a Classic-killer.

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is the successor to the Gypsy, one of India's earliest and most popular lifestyle vehicles. And as great as the Gypsy was off-road, that's the core competence of the Maruti Suzuki Jimny as well. Of course, so far, we don't get a drop top, or the international 3-door version. Kartikeya returned from the first drive experience and on MotorInc First, he's answering all the questions about the Jimny.
