Honda Cars India has officially announced that the latest iteration of the Amaze, the third generation, is set to hit the market on December 4, 2024. When it debuts, the 2024 Honda Amaze will face off against the upcoming 2024 Maruti Suzuki Dzire, as well as competitors like the Hyundai Aura and the Tata Tigor. Notably, the introduction of the third-gen Amaze will make Honda Cars India stand out with the freshest lineup among mainstream car manufacturers in the country, especially considering the revamp of the oldest model, the Honda City, in March 2023.

Unveiled at the 2024 EICMA Motorcycle Show, the cutting-edge Hero XPulse 210 has made its debut. This next-level adventure motorcycle surpasses the current Hero XPulse 200 4V with enhancements across the board. Featuring a fresh frame, a larger and mightier engine, updated aesthetics, and enhanced electronics, the new Hero XPulse 210 sets a new standard in its class.

Hero MotoCorp has unveiled additional models such as the Karizma XMR 250 and Xtreme 250R during the EICMA 2024 event. The Xtreme 250R from Hero is closely related to the Xtunt 2.5R Concept and is almost ready for production. In contrast, the Karizma XMR 250 boasts enhanced sporty aesthetics and a larger engine, elevating its appeal.

Just a few days following its worldwide unveiling, the latest addition to the Royal Enfield lineup in India is the Interceptor Bear 650. Priced between ₹3.39 lakh and ₹3.59 lakh (ex-showroom), this scrambler-style model is derived from the RE Interceptor 650. Serving as the fifth iteration built upon the 650 platform, the Bear 650 comes with various modifications tailored to enhance its scrambler persona.
