Toyota Autonomous EV Debuts With 250 Km Range

GaadiWaadi -

Toyota introduces a fully electric people mover that will be capable of being used hands-free in Japan in the near future

Toyota has launched an electric shuttle called ‘e-Palette’ in Japan, priced at 29 million yen (approximately 1.74 crore rupees). The company plans to introduce Level 4 automated driving in the zero-emission people mover in the near future.

At launch, Toyota is offering only Level 2 automated driving in the e-Shuttle. However, the company is developing a more advanced system that offers Level 4 autonomy. The Japanese automaker will demonstrate hands-free driving in the electric shuttle under partnerships with dealerships, municipalities, and automated driving partners in this regard, with a target of bringing L4 capability to the market between April 2026 and March 2027.

The e-Palette is a purpose-built vehicle or a PBV designed primarily for emission-free transportation of people, but it can serve other purposes, such as a mobile store or service space. In the default configuration, it accommodates 17 people, including the driver, four passengers seated, and twelve passengers standing.

At 4,950 mm long, 2,080 mm wide, and 2,650 mm tall, the e-Palette is a large EV, and it squeezes out maximum possible space from those dimensions, as evident in its boxy design. For the record, 2,865 mm of the length, 1,780 mm of the width, and 2,135 mm of the height are utilised for cabin space. A low floor height of 370 mm, which can be reduced further to 270 mm, and large door openings measuring 1,900 mm high and 1,280 mm wide make ingress and egress pretty easy, even for people with mobility issues.

Toyota uses an AC synchronous motor producing 150 kW (201 hp) and 266 Nm of torque and a 72.82 kWh battery pack in the e-Palette. The company has not revealed the chemistry of cells it uses in the battery pack, but it says fast-charging to 80% through a 90 kW DC charger—also from an undisclosed percentage level—takes approximately 40 minutes. The electric shuttle travels up to approximately 250 km on a full charge, as per Japan’s WLTC method, and achieves a top speed of 80 km/h.

The e-Palette is eligible for a subsidy of 15.835 million yen (approximately 95 lakh rupees) from Japan’s Ministry of the Environment’s Commercial Vehicle Electrification Promotion Project. This effectively brings down the cost of the electric shuttle to 13.165 million yen (approximately 79 lakh rupees).

• CRS Installation: 12/12 points
• Vehicle Assessment: 5/13 points

Volvo Reduces Car Prices Due To GST Policy Changes

Volvo Reduces Car Prices Due To GST Policy Changes, XC90 Receives A Benefit Up To Rs. 6.92 Lakh

Volvo has announced a major price reduction after the new GST 2.0 relief. The revised prices take effect from 22 September 2025. This revision comes at an important time before the festive season.

Pricing Changes

The Volvo XC60 has received a price cut of Rs. 4.79 lakh, enhancing its value proposition. The flagship XC90 benefits the most, with a significant reduction of Rs. 6.92 lakh. After revision, the XC60 costs Rs. 67.10 lakh, while the XC90 is priced at Rs. 96.97 lakh.

Volvo’s electric models remain unaffected as GST changes do not apply to EVs. The XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge continue unchanged. This keeps the benefit limited to ICE-powered luxury SUVs.

Volvo expects the GST relief and festive offers to boost demand. The company anticipates strong momentum in the luxury SUV segment. With refreshed models, Volvo is confident about growth in India.

3-Door Mahindra Thar Facelift To Launch Soon In India – Key Details

GaadiWaadi -

Mahindra 3-door Thar facelift will likely go on sale soon in India and it will get a host of revisions inside and out

Mahindra & Mahindra’s gamble with the Thar has paid off handsomely since its 2020 debut – turning the rugged off-roader into one of the most successful lifestyle vehicles in India. Over the years, the company has cleverly expanded the range to keep momentum alive — first with the more accessible 2WD version and most recently with the launch of the five-door Thar Roxx – both of which have struck the right chord with buyers.

The Thar’s popularity hasn’t shown signs of slowing down courtesy of the high demand. Mahindra is now focussing toward refreshing the three-door model. Nearly five years on from the launch of the second generation version, a mid-cycle update is in the works and camouflaged test mules have already been spotted on several occasions out on public roads.

The facelifted Thar is expected to make its debut in less than a couple of weeks. The update comes at a time when the brand is also showcasing its long-term ambitions – having recently unveiled four new concepts alongside a next-gen platform. In addition to this, Mahindra continues testing the updated XUV700 which is on course for an early 2026 launch.

Spy shots of the 3-door Thar facelift suggest that Mahindra is taking heavy design inspiration from the Thar Roxx. The SUV’s front bumper has been fully reworked – giving it a more muscular stance while the fog lamp housings now feature sharper detailing. The familiar grille has also received minor revisions and Mahindra is expected to introduce the C-shaped LED lighting signature to further modernise the look.

Alongside the refreshed front fascia, the updated Thar will feature newly styled alloy wheels to set it apart from the current version. However, Mahindra isn’t expected to tinker with the underpinnings as the SUV will retain its ladder-frame construction and proven engine options – the 1.5-litre diesel, 2.0-litre turbo petrol, and 2.2-litre diesel powertrains will continue unchanged.

On the inside, the facelifted Thar will see a major upgrade with the introduction of a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system taking centre stage on the dashboard. The area around the gear lever is being reworked too with hints of a wireless charging pad making its way into the setup.

Mahindra has also redesigned the steering wheel to complement the refreshed cabin while the power window switches have been repositioned from the central console to the doors. More new features related to convenience and safety will be added too.
