✅ 1.5 Million impressions in 2.5 Months & decent chunk of verified followers 😊
I am not chasing Impressions but spreading factual information about Cars & EV Powertrain so that everyone can have real life information to make their informed decisions.
It Proves that @X as platform really appreciates Good real life factual content reading.
Most of the people I interact with are asking me to also provide my analysis & information on other powertrains & make videos too.
I will work on it & I will post information about that only when I think I will be knowledgeable enough.
Being an introvert videos is something I was resisting but i will plan in coming months.
Thanks for reading my content & Analysis & also to people whom I consulted for car purchase & setup EV Stations.
Will keep working on quality content, lots of things in pipeline, Stay Tuned 🙌🏻✅
Special thanks to @Xroaders_001 @evelectree @volklub @ferrarirules86 @TorqueIndia @Shaggy7979 @shreemallatheru @AsheeshAroraEV @autocarindiamag @Gs_Wanderer @BunnyPunia
for inspiring me to share good valuable factual content with honesty.
Safe & Happy E - Miles ahead 😊🔋🚙🛣️
Off Topic from my usual automotive content but important one ✅
Guys delay the high ticket purchases & plan to clear your debt slate as soon as possible, especially if you are from IT.
We can’t deny the fact, prices of everything around has shot up, the lifestyle expenses have increased due to FOMO from reels which float in front of our eyes.
If you want to get into high ticket purchases, purchase it by having atleast 50% of its value in hand.
AI is doing things which we never expected it to do, it’s coding, sweeping floors, builds cars & what not.
Be Mindful & Save Cash in hand ✅
If anyone is looking for city heavy cars 👀
✅ Look no further than EV’s & Strong Hybrids like Duster
➡️Running Cost with Home Charger 🏠 🔌
✅ EV’s 1.5-2/km
✅ Duster Hybrid: 4.5-5.5/km
➡️ Running cost with Public Charging & Duster Hybrid highway average 🛣️🔋
✅ EV’s - 3- 3.5/km Running cost
✅ Duster Hybrid : 5-6.5/km
EV’s will still cost you half or 1/3 of the total running cost if chosen over Duster Hybrid.
If your highway trips has reliable chargers & couple that with home & destination charging, EV’s still make more sense over hybrids ✅
If you have Solar setup then whole hybrid topic goes to toss altogether ✅
PS : If you are not comfortable with EV’s go with Strong hybrid ✅
PS: Estimation’s based of Reviews read online & @volklub Paaji’s city & mixed efficiency numbers
1200 KM Mumbai Nanded Mumbai Drive in Hyundai Creta EV.
Great Drive @vinitbhavi , Creta EV is one heck of efficient E mile muncher ✅
Keep E - miling & keep sharing such long trip journey’s in EV ✅🫡
Recently we completed a year and 14000 kms with the @HyundaiIndia #CretaEV. Whereas we have done some long trips, this time the area was unexplored and used all my experience over last 12 months. We decided to do the Mumbai- Nanded- Mumbai 1200 kms round trip on the EV. The research was done , chargers marked and drive on the Samruddhi Mahamarg planned.
The EV is efficient and extremely comfortable with hardly any fatigue.
City car only!! Nah! She’s ready to go places.
As duster hybrid’s drive reviews are out👀
Below post will help you to understand how duster hybrid’s running costs compared with Diesel & EV ⤵️
Eye Opener post EV vs Diesel Vs Hybrid 👀
We compared Sierra.EV, Duster Hybrid , Creta Diesel Automatic for
✅ Running cost,
✅ On road prices of its Variants(In Mumbai)
✅ City/Highway use case
Biggest Takeaway :
✅ All 3 car’s comparable variants are in similar price range(on road)
✅ Sierra.EV even with public charging is cheaper to run among the 3 & it’s still saving around 4-5k per month.
✅ With home charging it’s saving around 8.5k
✅ Sierra.EV is most powerful & spacious car of the lot
✅ If you are not comfortable with EV as a powertrain , head over to quoted post for deciding which among duster & Creta diesel is best for you 👍🏻
Sierra.EV with its price & real world range of 450-525, Power out out & as whole product offering is great package overall, you get AWD, which is not present in other two,plus add ADAS, 360 Cam, Auto IRVM to the mix.
For more such practical analysis , follow @BeBoldEV 🫡
Note: States which don’t offer road tax waivers will have 1.5-2 lakhs extra on road cost for Sierra.EV
AWD version costs 1 lakhs extra for Sierra.EV top model
Cars offered in CNG Automatic 🚙⛽️
✅ Tata
1) Tata Aeris
2) Tata Punch
3) Tiago
Maruti
✅ Swift
✅ Baleno
✅ Dzire
Defender now starts at 99 lakhs in India 🇮🇳
Price slashed by upto mammoth 34 Lakhs , Variants price below ⤵️
You also get Optional Equipment now as standard which has value of ~6.5 Lakhs on 2.0 Turbo Petrol Trim & ~17 Lakh on 3.0 Versions, which further sweetness the deal 🫡
JLR Defender 110 was earlier a CBU & now it’s CKD with assembly happening at company’s Pune Facility.
➡️Updated Variants Price :
✅ 2.0 Turbo Petrol : 99 lakhs (Earlier 1.13)
✅ 3.0 Turbo Petrol : 1.18 Crore (Earlier 1.52)
✅ 3.0 Diesel : 1.18 Crore (Earlier 1.52)
All 3 Variants are equipped with Automatic transmission & AWD .
Bookings Open & Deliveries begin November 15 ✍️
Price Cuts apply only to X Dynamic HSE trim as all other defenders continue being CBU as of now 👍🏻
Victoris Hybrid sold through Arena was never going to bring big ticket sales in huge numbers because even NEXA can’t do that at the moment.
Infact buyers prefers buying Hybrids from Toyota rather than Maruti , which can be inferred from hybrids sales numbers.
Arena is always used by Maruti to push value for money products & customers over there are swayed by even 20-30k price difference.
Price difference between CNG & Hybrid Victoris is 2.5 Lakh on road :
CNG Victoris Top Model costs : 16.87L
Victoris Strong Hybrid Base Model : 19.35L
➡️ One year on, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris has barely moved the needle on the brand’s strong-hybrid sales.
➡️ What do the latest Vahan registrations reveal about buyer preferences—and underbody CNG became the game changer for Maruti?
Article link - evelectree.com/article/marut…
➡️ The data also shows why Hy-CNG-Duo was need at the Bayon launch
#MarutiSuzuki #Victoris #StrongHybrid #AutoIndustry #Vahan
Considering Bayon? Also look at existing Creta 👀
Read further to know why ⤵️🧐
Existing Creta feels better equipped & Value for money as price difference in variants is just 40-50k 💰
Creta Manual NA Petrol Tops out at 17.28 vs 16.8 lakhs of Bayon, with just 40k difference that also will Vanish & Infact Creta will be cheaper to own with dealership discounts
Price difference in base models is just 91k but that also fades as there are discounts on offer on Creta at dealerships 🤯
Let’s analyse what things you get & miss in Creta & Bayon
Creta Shines ✨
✅ Powertrain Variety to choose from NA Petrol, Turbo Petrol, Diesel, EV
✅ Existing Creta is also offered with discounts, so there is actually price parity with Bayon
✅ More Headroom in rear seat
✅ 50 Litre vs 43 Litre Tank
✅ 18 Inch Vs 17inch Wheels
✅ Powered Boss Mode, Rear Window Sunshades, Air Purifier & Cooled Glove Box
Bayon Shines ✨
✅ Native Wireless Android & CarPlay Support
✅ Based of latest Global K Enhanced Platform & built as per 5 star safety standards in Indian Tests
✅ Level 2 ADAS+ offers map based highway driving assist 🛣️
✅ Bigger 12.3 Inch Screens compared to 10.25 Inch Screens
✅ Updated Interiors & Exterior Layout
✅ Bayon is 20 MM Wider & offers reclined rear seats
✅ AI Capabilities are top notch
✅ Dash Boost Mode for Sudden Overtakes
Bayon is high on tech & features however comes paired only in 1.5 NA which is not the first pick of many primary car buyers due to poor mileage in city & CNG is coming early next year & more importantly updated Creta with Hybrid is coming next year

Hyundai India Bayon launched in India
but the biggest trick in the hat was “CNG”, which they have reserved for January release.
Pricing of CNG Bayon will overlap Creta’s variants even more & buyers will then think why not get a Creta diesel or petrol for high running? Instead of waiting in very lengthy queue’s of CNG, plus if you will get it in automatic or no is big question.
CNG Bayon can steal some customers from Victoris because of its upmarket interiors & has same wheelbase, so interiors would be sorted.
Tech & features are good but can they try trickle down to CNG variants? Is also a big question.
All in all Bayon seems like a product from Hyundai through which they want to target the Victoris customers who want a bit more upmarket interior feel & also to provide CNG option in compact SUV market segment.
Early or mid next year we have Creta Hybrid & other powertrains.
I feel the updated Creta will get a price hike to distinguish itself from Bayon.
🚨 Hyundai Bayon launched at ₹10–16 lakh!
Its pricing overlaps with both the Venue and Creta, but its powertrain strategy is considerably narrower:
⛽ 1.5L NA petrol only at launch
❌ No turbo-petrol
❌ No diesel
🗓️ CNG expected in January 2027
Can the Bayon generate volumes with just the 1.5L NA petrol? Will it cannibalize Venue and Creta sales?
#HyundaiBayon #HyundaiIndia #Bayon #SUV #CarLaunch
ALT Can the Bayon generate volumes with just the 1.5L NA petrol—or will buyers gravitate towards the Venue and Creta?

All new Hyundai Bayon is about to be launched on 12th of October.
Everything we know so far ⤵️
✅It will slot between Creta & Venue
✅Powertrains:
➡️ 1.5 NA Petrol
➡️ CNG
✅ It will be Hyundai’s first 4 Plus Meter car to offer CNG & it’s purportedly to be underbody.
✅ Hyundai, I Believe, is trying to do “Victoris” with Bayon.
Great addition to already most competitive segment of the lot.
Venue with its updated design is already a great product on offer & with Bayon, Hyundai will try to get more numbers & give buyers a refreshed option in the lineup with great design ✅🫡

“Forget Diesel Go Hybrid” That’s what, Duster Hybrid Tagline States 🫡
let’s dissect that claim with real world figures & whether duster really stands tall to that claim 🧐⤵️
To study the above claim we at Team @BeBoldEV dug deep to find the real world efficiency figures variants price of both the powertrains from trusted sources over web like TeamBhp, Autocar, Carwale.
Duster’s efficiency figures are determined as per somewhat similar tech used in other parts of world (Duster internationally used 1.6L opposed to 1.8L which is used in newly launched Duster Hybrid)
Whole research is mentioned in the detailed cards designed for easy readability & understanding as per 3 usecase mentioned below :
1) City Heavy
2) Mix Use
3) Highway Heavy
In all three scenarios you will be surprised to know that duster has gone toe to toe with diesel automatic in efficiency & is slightly better than diesel in city in contrary to belief that it will be miles apart & that is mainly due to diesel being 12% cheaper per liter than petrol.
@RenaultIndia has really lived upto to its tagline here by being cheaper on paper in ex.showroom cost & providing almost similar cost of running in all 3 scenarios.
Note :Some states also offers road tax waiver for hybrids, that further brings down Renault duster’s price by around 1.2-1.5 lakhs & due to growing pollution control mandates, going for diesel Creta don’t make sense until & unless you are diesel head & want ADAS, 360 CAM, Auto Dimming IRVMS present in Creta Diesel

VinFast’s Punch EV Rival, spotted testing in India 👀
VinFast VF5 if will be great product if launched because demand for Punch EV is high and people have actually started using it as city beater & if their native place is around 300-400kms then as primary car too.
VinFast needs to crack the code just like Punch EV & provide confidence on its service ability to reach its potential, if & when it is launched great scoop @EVZindabad, @ferrarirules86 @evelectree 🙌🏻
🚨 Exclusive: VinFast VF 5 spotted testing in Gurugram!
The camouflaged prototype appears noticeably different from the international model, suggesting India-specific changes may be under evaluation.
Could this become VinFast’s Tata Punch.ev rival?

ALT A camouflaged VinFast VF 5 prototype undergoing road testing in Gurugram. Spy footage supplied by Evian
For 6k Kms’s even ICE petrol car needs ~10 stops for refuelling & diesel maybe 6-8 stops.
EV’s charge while you
✅ Dine
✅ Stay over night at hotel
✅ At home
That above experience makes the drive seamless & safe at same time 👍🏻
Kia Seltos 2026 is really a story which just keeps building so many great feats in India.
95k Total sales till now & 88% YOY Growth is just amazing 🫡
Seltos in India brought desirable SUV at great price when it was first launched in India.
New upgraded Seltos is known for design which boasts
✅ Young design
✅ Great posh interiors
✅ Features in decent price range
✅ Road Presence is great
Seltos Hybrid in 2027 will further increase its sales or customers preferring higher petrol variants will opt for Strong Hybrid Seltos, remains to be seen.
Sales Data : @ferrarirules86 @evelectree
If there were an award for nailing a facelift, it would hands down go to the Kia Seltos. 🏆
Jan–Sep sales surged 88% YoY:
50,634 → 95,188
Petrol: 29,376 → 62,824 (+114%)
Diesel: 21,258 → 32,364 (+52%)
My take: the upgraded cabin, 4.5m length, and 5-star safety rating made it a strong all-round update.
What do you think drove this surge?

Duster Hybrid’s tagline states
“Forget Diesel Go Hybrid” ⛽️🔋
However, The tagline is questionable for highway use case 🛣️
Read More Below ⤵️
➡️ Diesel Use-Case in City & highway :
✅ Mileage
In city diesel’s are laggards as it provides close to 11-13 KMPL. However, on highways that mileage shoots upto 21-22 KMPL, which is impressive.
✅Ownership
BS6 Phase 2 Diesel’s flame DPF issues if they are city driven, biggest drawback of diesels
Limited life for Diesel’s for Delhi Buyers
➡️ Hybrid’s Use-Case in City & Highway :
✅ Mileage :
In city strong hybrid’s perform excellent providing 21-25 KMPL in real world figures
However, they are laggard as they provide close to 18-19 KMPL
✅ Ownership :
Hybrids relieves you from 10 year ban , DPF headaches & also provides road tax concessions in UP, Chandigarh 🫱🏻🫲🏼
Conclusion :
✅Don’t forget Diesel if you are Heavy highway runner
(Except NCR people- Sadly forget the Diesel)
✅Forget Diesel & Go Hybrid if you are heavy City runner
Note : Pricing will be Key deciding factor 🔑

Harrier.EV is Outselling Diesel/Petrol Harrier in 2026 🔋🔥
Team @BeBoldEV analyses further ⤵️
✅ Harrier.EV is cheaper than its ICE automatic variants
✅ 57 out of 100 are choosing Electric vs ICE Harrier
✅ Why people are choosing Harrier.EV over its ICE counterpart ?🧐
✅ Real Word Comparison of On road Price of Variants
✅ Real world running cost comparison
➡️ Indians are preferring Electric version more & that’s mainly down to advanced tech & offers just so much more as whole package at a cheaper price.
➡️ You can pickup a AWD version starting at around 25-26 lakhs with plush multi selective dampers providing more comfortable ride.
➡️ Top model of Harrier ICE don’t offer you AWD, RWD, Auto Park , 19 Inch Aero Alloy Wheels, which in itself would atleast add extra value of 2.5 lakhs to the price.
➡️ Couple the above tech with running cost savings with attached running cost graph.
People are calculating all the above stuff and are preferring Harrier.EV over ICE
➡️ Even for ICE the count stands at 42.4% which is healthy number but as EV infra is growing & lots & lots of Housing Society’s are coming up community charging, EV’s have started to make sense wherever charger availability is present & most of the India is covered with chargers.
PS : All the topics are backed by data & factual sources .
I know EV infra is not perfect but it’s catching up & getting developed even further

MY TAKEAWAY:
✅ Long-distance EV travel in India is already possible.
✅ Running costs can be significantly lower, depending on the vehicle, charging tariff and route.
✅ Charging apps, route planning, overnight AC charging & DC fast chargers can make a major difference.
⚠️ Reliability, charger uptime, power cuts and charging availability in remote or high-altitude regions remain genuine concerns.
The point isn’t that India’s EV infrastructure is perfect. It isn’t.
The point is that calling it “ZERO reliable infrastructure” ignores a growing body of real-world evidence.
⚡ EVs are not for everyone, everywhere, just yet.
But they are already working for far more journeys than many people assume.
