The 2026 Honda ADV 350 features three new color options and fresh graphics, giving it a more stylish and modern appearance. Honda has focused on enhancing the scooter’s appeal to attract European youth and adventure riders.

The Honda ADV 350 is powered by a 330cc SOHC, 4-valve engine, producing approximately 30 horsepower and 31.5 Nm of torque. The engine is mounted on an underbone frame, improving the scooter’s balance and stability. It features USD front forks and dual rear shock absorbers for a smooth riding experience, even on rough roads. The braking system includes 256mm front and 240mm rear disc brakes, with 15-inch front and 14-inch rear wheels. The maxi-scooter also has a large 11.7-liter fuel tank, suitable for long-distance rides.

The 2026 model retains the high-tech features introduced in the 2025 update, including preload-adjustable rear suspension, a 5-inch TFT display with Honda RoadSync smartphone connectivity, a four-way toggle switch, a storage compartment light, and auto-cancel indicators. These features make the Honda ADV 350 a premium and adventure-friendly scooter in its segment.

Honda has not yet made an official announcement regarding the ADV 350’s launch in India. However, the maxi-scooter segment is gradually gaining popularity in India. Considering the success of scooters like the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Aprilia SXR 160, the company may introduce it to the Indian market in the future. Due to its advanced features and international specifications, it could be priced around ₹4 lakh in the Indian market. If launched in India, it could be a powerful new choice for high-end scooter enthusiasts.

**Design:**
The original Thar was recognized for its rugged aesthetics, highlighted by features such as robust bumpers, removable roof panels, squared wheel arches, the distinctive seven-slat grille, and other elements conveying its tough character. The facelift preserves these fundamental design traits but refines them for a more contemporary appearance. The grille now incorporates a body-color finish, seamlessly integrating with the front fascia. The bumpers have been redesigned with a dual-tone finish and silver accents, adding visual contrast. Moreover, Mahindra has introduced two new color options: Battleship Grey and Tango Red, with the latter replacing the previous Rage Red.

**Features:**
The earlier model featured amenities like steering-mounted controls, manual air conditioning, roof-mounted speakers, and a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

The 2025 Mahindra Thar facelift boasts several upgrades, including an electric fuel-lid opener, Type-C charging ports for both front and rear passengers, and rear AC vents. The infotainment system has been enlarged to 10.25 inches and is paired with a revamped interface compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In addition, the new Thar includes a reversing camera, along with a rear wiper and washer.

**Interior:**
The interior of the older Thar was designed to withstand both everyday driving and off-road adventures, offering practicality. It incorporated roof-mounted speakers, a touchscreen infotainment system, and washable floor panels. Despite its straightforward layout, it delivered the comfort expected from a modern SUV while maintaining the durability needed for challenging terrains.

Mahindra has incorporated interior enhancements, such as a new steering wheel. The facelift version now includes grab handles on the A-pillars with ‘THAR’ branding for both the driver and front passenger – previously, this was only on the co-driver’s side. A sliding armrest with storage has also been introduced. Automatic variants now feature a dead pedal. Moreover, the power window switches have been repositioned to the door armrests from the center console.

**Powertrain:**
The facelifted Thar retains its mechanical setup. It continues to offer a 1.5-liter diesel engine producing 118PS/300Nm, a 2.2-liter diesel delivering 132PS/300Nm, and a 2.0-liter turbo petrol making 150PS/320Nm. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.

The rear-wheel drive configuration is available with the 1.5-liter diesel (manual only) and the 2.0-liter turbo-petrol (automatic only). The four-wheel drive setup is offered with the larger diesel engine and the turbo-petrol, both available with manual and automatic gearboxes.

**Price and Rivals:**
The previous model was priced between Rs 11.35 lakh and Rs 17.60 lakh (ex-showroom). The 2025 Mahindra Thar facelift is priced from Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 16.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Both models continue to compete with the Force and Maruti Jimny.

The video, published by President Louis Lee, offers an official unboxing experience. It reveals the standard OnePlus red box with black lettering, indicating the company is maintaining its existing branding and font choices.

The video showcases the phone’s charger, a red cable, and a color-matched case. The availability of identical contents in all markets remains uncertain, but the Indian version is likely to be retailed with a similar package.

The video highlights the phone in a new “Sandstorm” color, featuring a micro-arc oxidation process that layers a ceramic coating over the metal frame. Additional colors beyond this ceramic shade will be available.

OnePlus has announced a global launch, with specific dates for most regions still pending. Reports suggest October 27 is the anticipated launch date for the Chinese market, based on an official screenshot.

Based on recent testing models, the design is expected to closely resemble the concept model displayed last year. It will feature a wide horizontal grille, sleek headlights, and a full-width LED light bar. The SUV’s rear will have a strong bumper, sleek taillamps, and a roof spoiler, contributing to its attractive appearance. It is anticipated to include a panoramic sunroof with a black roof, creating a floating roof effect.

While Tata Motors has not released official specifications, it is estimated that the EV version will feature a dual-motor setup similar to the Harrier EV, enabling all-wheel drive (AWD) capability and a range exceeding 500 km. The petrol variant may include a new 1.5-liter turbo engine, producing approximately 168 PS of power and 280 Nm of torque. The diesel variant is expected to have a 2.0-liter engine, delivering roughly 170 PS of power and 350 Nm of torque. Transmission choices may include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.

The new Sierra’s interior will be completely modern, potentially featuring a triple-screen setup with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12.3-inch driver display. Furthermore, the SUV might incorporate Level-2 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, and other premium features.

According to reports, the Tata Sierra could be launched in the Indian market in early 2026. The company has showcased it at dealer events and has been frequently spotted testing prototypes, indicating that the SUV’s development is nearly complete.

While the company has not yet confirmed the India launch date, the phone is anticipated to debut in China in October 2025. The Indian launch is expected in January 2026, mirroring the January launch of the OnePlus 14.

Design leaks show a redesigned rear panel, with a rectangular camera island positioned in the upper right corner, replacing the signature circular camera module. This design could resemble the recently launched OnePlus 13s.

OnePlus confirmed at the Snapdragon Summit that the OnePlus 15 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. Leaked specifications suggest a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED flat display with curved edges and 1.15mm thin bezels. The display is expected to have a 165Hz refresh rate and a 1.5K resolution. The phone is likely to run on Android 16 with OxygenOS 16, with the promise of 5 years of OS updates and 6 years of security patches. Rumors also point to a large 7,300mAh silicon-carbon battery with 50W wireless and 100W wired charging. The camera setup may include a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP ultrawide lens, and a 50MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom.

Dual Exhaust Pipes:
Despite the heavy camouflage during testing, the dual exhaust pipes were the most noticeable feature. This indicates that this is the sportier ‘N Line’ version of the standard SUV, similar to the current Venue.

Dynamic Turn Indicators:
Spy videos show that the design of the 2025 Hyundai Venue N Line will include a modern, premium styling element: dynamic turn indicators. This will be the first time Hyundai will offer dynamic turn indicators in both the standard and sportier N Line versions of the second-generation Venue.

All LED Lighting:
Another feature that will be included for the first time in the Hyundai Venue or Venue N Line is an all-LED lighting setup. The Venue N Line test model also features LED projector headlights, LED DRLs, a full-width LED light bar, and connected LED taillights. This LED lighting setup may also be seen in the standard version of the upcoming Venue.

Blind Spot Warning Sign:
The spy video also shows blind spot warning indications on the left-side outside rearview mirror (ORVM). This new Hyundai Venue N Line will get Level-2 advanced driver assistance, which is already available in the Level-1 ADAS suite in the current generation model of the Hyundai Venue.

Dual Screen Setup:
Although the interior of the Venue N Line is not shown in the video, it is expected that Hyundai will offer a dual-screen setup similar to the new Creta. These two screens are also likely to be present in Generation 2 Venue.

Engine:
Currently, the company has not provided information about the engine that will be used. However, according to media reports, Hyundai will use the same 1-liter turbo-petrol engine in the new generation model as in the current Venue N Line.

Price and Comparison:
The price of the new Hyundai Venue N Line may be higher than the current model, which is priced between Rs 11.11 lakh and Rs 12.81 lakh (ex-showroom). The Hyundai Venue N Line can be chosen as a sporty option against Tata Nexon, Kia Sonet, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Renault Kiger.
