Mahindra unveils new XUV 3XO, Force Gurkha gets 5-door variant

Mahindra has shown off their new car, the XUV 3XO. It starts at ₹7.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The XUV 3XO is like a newer version of the XUV300. It comes in different models: MX1 Pro, MX2 Pro, MX3, AX5, AX5L, AX7, and AX7L. It has many updates like a new look outside, changes inside the car, new features, and an automatic transmission.

Overdrive’s Tuhin Guha has driven the 2024 Mahindra XUV 3XO and given their review.

The Force Gurkha has not just been given a new look. Now, it also has a five-door version and is still very good for off-road driving. The Gurkha 5-door can fit seven people. The longer wheelbase means there’s more space, with a bench seat in the second row and two separate seats in the third. Because it’s built differently, the space inside isn’t as big as it seems from the outside. So, you might need a step ladder and handles to climb into the high seats.

Other features include tilt-adjustable steering, power windows, LED lights, and central locking. Overdrive’s Rohit Paradkar gets more information about it.

Bajaj’s 2024 Pulsar N250: A triumph or a miss?

Bajaj, one of India’s leading motorcycle manufacturers, has introduced the latest iteration of its flagship naked motorcycle, the Bajaj Pulsar N250. Touted as the most powerful naked Pulsar currently available in the country, the N250 promises to address some of the shortcomings of its predecessors while retaining its iconic design and performance.

While the visual aesthetics remain largely unchanged, the 2024 model sports new decals adorning its bodywork, along with noticeable updates to its imposing upside-down fork. However, where the real strides are made is in the realm of features. Bajaj has diligently addressed the previous model’s deficiencies by introducing a slew of upgrades.

The centerpiece of the enhancements is the revamped LCD display, now equipped with turn-by-turn navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. Additionally, riders can now benefit from a switchable traction control system, accompanied by three distinct ABS ride modes catering to various road conditions: road, rain, and off-road.

Despite the focus on features and visual refinements, Bajaj has opted to retain the tried-and-tested powertrain configuration from its predecessor. The new N250 is powered by a 249cc single-cylinder, oil-cooled SOHC engine which delivers a maximum power output of 24.5PS at 8,750rpm, coupled with a peak torque of 21.5 Nm at 6,500rpm. While the engine exhibits a degree of refinement, it falls short of the liveliness found in some of its competitors, notably the KTM lineup.

With the unveiling of the 2024 Pulsar N250, Bajaj aims to address the shortcomings of its predecessors and enhance the overall appeal of its flagship naked motorcycle. But has the company succeeded in its endeavour?

Overdrive’s Christopher Chaves, takes the new N250 for a spin to provide comprehensive insights into its performance, handling, and overall riding experience.

Additionally, Overdrive presents a mega motorcycle comparison test in the fiercely competitive sports bike segment. Delve into this comprehensive analysis to discover how the latest offerings from various manufacturers stack up against each other in terms of performance, features, and value for money.
