Kia Motors India has outlined its strategic roadmap targeting 10 core models by 2030, with eight of those models featuring electrified or alternative-fuel powertrains. Rather than committing exclusively to pure battery electric vehicles (BEVs), Kia is deploying a multi-powertrain model designed to meet diverse Indian driving conditions, infrastructure limits, and price points.

That little yellow horseshoe icon on your dashboard is one of the most important safety features in your car. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) continuously tracks the air pressure inside your tires and alerts you the moment it drops to an unsafe level. First mandated across North America and Europe to prevent high-speed blowouts, TPMS is now a standard or highly requested feature on modern cars globally. Understanding how your specific system works can save your tires, improve your fuel economy, and keep you safe on the highway. What Is TPMS and Why Do Cars Need It? At its core, TPMS…

Before you assume you ran over a nail, take a breath. Most of the time, a low tire pressure warning during cold weather has nothing to do with a puncture—it comes down to basic physics. Here is what triggers the warning, how to know if your vehicle is safe to drive, and the right way to fix it. Quick Answers: TPMS in Cold Weather QuestionAnswerWhy does the TPMS light come on in winter?Cold…

Indian urban roads are notorious for unexpected road hazards. Monsoons wash away top asphalt, construction work leaves behind uneven trench cuts, and unlit speed breakers threaten commuter balance every single day. For two-wheeler riders, hitting a deep crater at 40–50 km/h is not just a minor inconvenience—it can cause wheel rim cracks, fork seal damage, loss of vehicle control, or severe accidents. Rather than relying on physical suspension tweaks alone, Bengaluru-based EV manufacturer Ather Energy has taken a software-first approach to road safety. Leveraging nearly nine years of anonymized ride data collected across millions of kilometers, Ather has officially begun…

Choosing an electric SUV in India used to mean choosing between compromise and cost. You either settled for a repurposed petrol platform with cramped rear legroom or stretched your budget beyond reach for a dedicated EV architecture.

Slotting into the fiercely competitive compact electric SUV space with an aggressive starting price of ₹13.49 Lakh (ex-showroom), Kia’s latest EV brings up to 526 km of ARAI-certified range, a feature-heavy cabin featuring a massive 30-inch trinity display panel, and an innovative Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership program.
