Bharat NCAP Gives the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara a 5-Star Safety Rating
The e Vitara, Maruti Suzuki's first electric SUV, received a complete five-star rating in Bharat NCAP crash tests, which is a major development for India's EV market.
This rating supports the automaker's efforts to demonstrate that its EVs can provide both performance and safety, as does its previously announced ARAI-claimed range of up to 543 km on a single charge.

Within weeks of opening, the Hyundai Venue has received over 32,000 reservations
The compact SUV Hyundai Venue, which was just released, has received surprisingly positive feedback. The automobile has surpassed the 32,000 booking milestone in less than a month since reservations started, indicating strong buyer demand.
The redesigned Venue, which costs between ₹7.90 lakh and ₹15.69 lakh (ex-showroom), has a feature-rich cabin with dual 12.3-inch curved screens, a Bose sound system, wireless charging, an electric sunroof, and a Level-2 ADAS system—features that appear to have resonated with customers.
Beyond the major stories mentioned above, there were other noteworthy developments last week. According to reports, the redesigned Mahindra XUV700 will be known as the XUV 7XO, and certain models, such as the Hyundai Grand i10, which was tested for the South African market, received inconsistent safety ratings, warning consumers to carefully consider regional variations.
