Renault Triber facelift spotted again, reveals key updates. Know more
The Renault Triber facelift is expected to launch later this year with some cosmetic updates and new features, but powertrains are expected to remain unchanged. (Image: YouTube/Shankar) Check Offers Renault Triber is one of the key models from the French auto giant in the Indian passenger vehicle market. The MPV comes as one of the most affordable models in its segment, where Maruti Suzuki, Kia, and Toyota have their respective products in the form of Ertiga, Carens and Rumion. The Renault Triber is now gearing up for a mid-life facelift that is long due. This is going to be the most significant update for the MPV since its launch in 2019. One of the key USP of the Triber is its affordable pricing. Expect Renault to continue with that strategy even with the facelifted model, which is expected to launch later this year. The prototype of the Renault Triber facelift has been spotted on the road previously. Now again, a test mule of the upcoming updated version of the MPV has been spotted in Chennai, giving us an idea of the changes. As it seems, the Renault Triber MPV will come with a plethora of cosmetic changes on the exterior. Also Read : Upcoming cars in India The Renault Triber facelift will come with more rounded design elements, while the headlamp cluster will get a revised layout. There will be a new eyebrow-like LED daytime running light (DRL) integrated into the headlamps. The front grille gets a major makeover. Expect the front bumper too to receive some changes. Among other changes, wheel design and rear profile are expected to receive a makeover. An LED strip connecting the taillights is expected to be there. The interior of the test mule was not visible. However, expect the cabin to receive some key updates, which would include a redesigned dashboard and centre console. The Renault Triber facelift would retain its seven-seater configuration. Some feature additions could be there as well, adding more zing to the MPV. While the exterior and interior changes are expected to ramp up the appeal of Triber, on the powertrain front, it is unlikely to receive any update. In that case, the facelifted Renault Triber will continue with the 1.0-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, which is capable of churning out 71 bhp pea power and 96 Nm of maximum torque. Earlier this year, the MPV received a petrol-CNG bi-fuel variant as well, which would be retained in the facelifted model. Transmission choices include a five-speed manual gearbox and a five-speed AMT unit, which would be retained as well. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2024, Best SUVs in India.

Big trouble for Elon Musk? ‘wrong side' video of robotaxis under scrutiny after Austin…, Tesla stock fell by…
Elon Musk- File image Federal traffic safety regulators are investigating potential issues with Elon Musk's test run of self-driving robotaxis in Texas. The inquiry started after the videos showed the vehicles abruptly braking, driving through intersections from turning lanes, and traveling on the wrong side of the road. NHTSA Investigate Video About Tesla The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday that it has asked Tesla for information about the apparent errors. Though many other videos show robotaxis driving perfectly, if regulators find any major issues, that would likely raise questions about Musk's repeated statements that the robotaxis are safe and his claim that Tesla will dominate a future in which nearly all cars on road will have no one behind the wheel or even need a steering wheel at all. NHTSA is aware of the referenced incidents and is in contact with the manufacturer to gather additional information, the agency said in a statement. Passengers in Tesla robotaxis on the road in Austin, Texas, have generally been impressed, and the stock rose 8 per cent Monday. Investors grew more cautious Tuesday after news of NHTSA's inquiry, and the stock fell more than 2 per cent. A bullish Tesla financial analyst who was driven around in a robotaxi on Sunday when the test runs began said his ride was perfect and suggested the videos on X and YouTube showing errors were no big deal. Any issues they encounter will be fixed, said Wedbush Securities' Dan Ives, calling the test a huge success in the past three days despite the sceptics. One of those sceptics, a Telemetry Insight expert in car technology, said the videos were alarming enough that the tests as currently run should be halted. The system has always had highly erratic performance, working really well a lot of the time but frequently making random and inconsistent but dangerous errors, said Sam Abuelsamid in a text, referring to Tesla's self-driving software. This is not a system that should be carrying members of the public or being tested on public roads without trained test drivers behind the wheel. What Was Video About Tesla? In one video, a Tesla moves into a lane with a big yellow arrow indicating it is for left turns only but then goes straight through the intersection instead, entering an opposing lane on the other side. The car seems to realise it made some mistake and begins to swerve several times, with the steering wheel jerking back and forth, before eventually settling down. But the Tesla proceeds in the opposing lane for 10 seconds. At the time, there was no oncoming traffic. The passenger in the car who posted the video, money manager Rob Maurer, shrugged off the incident. There are no vehicles anywhere in sight, so this wasn't a safety issue, Maurer said in commentary accompanying his video. I didn't feel uncomfortable in the situation. Another video shows a Tesla stopping twice suddenly in the middle of the road, possibly responding to the flashing lights of police cars. But the police are obviously not interested in the Tesla or traffic in front or behind it because they have parked on side roads not near it, apparently responding to an unrelated event. Federal regulators opened an investigation last year into how Teslas with what Musk calls Full Self-Driving have responded in low-visibility conditions after several accidents, including one that was fatal. Tesla was forced a recall 2.4 million of its vehicles at the time. Musk has said his Teslas using Full Self-Driving are safer than human drivers and his robotaxis using a newer, improved version of the system will be so successful so quickly that he will be able to deploy hundreds of thousands of them on the road by the end of next year. Other self-driving companies have launched taxis, including Amazon's Zoox and current market leader Waymo, which is not only is picking up passengers in Austin, but several other cities. The company recently announced it had clocked its 10 millionth paid ride. Musk needs a win in robotaxis. His work on in Trump administration as cost-cutting czar has alienated many buyers among Tesla's traditional environmentally conscious and liberal base in the US, tanking sales. Buyers in Europe having balked, too, after Musk embraced some extreme right-wing politicians earlier this year in both Britain and Germany. (With Input From Agencies)

Honda City Sport vs Volkswagen Virtus GT Line: Which stylish sedan offers better value
Both sedans borrow a familiar shape but toughen their attitude with blacked-out details Check Offers In a segment that's long thrived on practicality, automakers are now adding a dose of style and sportiness to the humble sedan. The latest to join this trend is Honda with the City Sport Edition, a cosmetic twist on its best-selling nameplate. But parked across the showroom floor is a strong contender from Germany—Volkswagen's Virtus GT Line, a similarly styled sedan that brings darkened design cues and a youthful appeal to the 1.0 TSI package. So how do these two style-forward sedans stack up? Here's a closer look across design, features, performance, and value. Honda City Sport vs Volkswagen Virtus GT Line: Design Both sedans borrow a familiar shape but toughen their attitude with blacked-out details. The Honda City Sport receives darker detailing to its front and rear bumpers, ORVMs, and a new pair of grey-finished alloy wheels. It comes in three exterior shades—Radiant Red, Platinum White, and Lunar Silver—offering a little visual diversity. Also Read : Honda City Sport vs Skoda Slavia Sportline: Which sedan will you pick The Virtus GT Line, on the other hand, leans deeper into the dark theme. It wears gloss-black badging, black ORVMs, darkened 16-inch alloys, and even a blacked-out spoiler. The grille, boot lid garnish, and door handles follow suit, creating a far more aggressive profile. While Honda offers limited tweaks for a limited time, VW's execution feels more thorough and embedded. Honda City Sport vs Volkswagen Virtus GT Line: Interior and features Step inside and both sedans adopt a darker theme to match their exteriors. The City Sport retains its premium layout, with dark upholstery and red accents, alongside conveniences like wireless charging, rear AC vents, ambient lighting, and paddle shifters (with the CVT). The Virtus GT Line offers an all-black cabin with contrast grey stitching, a digital instrument cluster, and VW's excellent 10.1-inch infotainment system. Segment staples like auto climate control, TPMS, and six airbags are present on both, but the City pulls ahead in safety with the inclusion of Level 2 ADAS, making it one of the few cars in the segment to offer active driver aids. Honda City Sport vs Volkswagen Virtus GT Line: Specs Under the hood, the City Sport Edition stays loyal to its tried-and-tested 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine, making 118 bhp and 145 Nm, mated to a CVT. It's a smooth, no-surprise package that prioritises daily drivability. The Virtus GT Line, though visually GT-esque, doesn't pack the 1.5 TSI engine. Instead, it uses a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine putting out 114 bhp and 178 Nm, paired with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed torque converter. It's the more energetic engine in urban conditions, with improved mid-range punch and a peppier nature. Fuel efficiency numbers are on par, but the Virtus pips the opposition on torque delivery and overall fun-to-drive factor. Also Read : Honda City Sport starts arriving at dealerships Honda City Sport vs Volkswagen Virtus GT Line: Price The Sport Edition Honda City costs ₹ 14.89 lakh (ex-showroom), and being a limited edition, it has an exclusive aura surrounding it. The Virtus GT Line, on the other hand, is a regular variant and is priced at ₹ 14.8 lakh, ex-showroom, a little lower based on the variant. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2024, Best SUVs in India.
