(
SDVs
) are rapidly transforming the automotive industry by shifting intelligence from hardware to software, a report said on Friday.
The study highlights how this evolution is enabling greater automation, personalisation, and innovation in vehicle design and performance, market intelligence firm 1Lattice said in its report.
Unlike traditional vehicles built around fixed hardware systems, SDVs operate on modular, programmable platforms.
This allows manufacturers to remotely add new features, upgrade existing capabilities, and reduce reliance on physical recalls, all through over-the-air (OTA) software updates, the report stated.
According to 1Lattice, the SDV transformation is being powered by innovations such as cloud connectivity, edge computing, and real-time data analytics.
These technologies are enabling dynamic user experiences, predictive maintenance, and greater operational efficiency.
With embedded operating systems and
advanced driver assistance systems
(ADAS), vehicles are now capable of self-optimising based on user behaviour, road conditions, and emerging technologies, the report highlighted.
The study also charts the progression of automotive technology, from basic functional models to fully adaptive, software-led platforms integrated with 5G and intelligent automation.
According to 1Lattice, SDVs redefine the future of mobility, providing strategic insights for automakers, tech providers, and investors looking to navigate this new era of connected,

2026 Mahindra Bolero Spotted! Rugged Design, Tech Makeover And More Features Expected
2026 Mahindra Bolero Spotted Testing: Mahindra's iconic SUV, the Bolero, is all set for a big makeover in 2026. The next-generation model is already in testing, and recent spy shots hint at what's coming. Even though the testing model was heavily camouflaged, some key design changes are hard to miss, like the boxier and upright stance, a revised grille with vertical slats, new circular LED headlamps with integrated DRLs, and a clamshell bonnet that adds to its rugged appeal. On the side, it gets chunky, squared-off wheel arches with black cladding and stylish dual-tone alloys. One of the biggest updates would be under the skin. The 2026 Bolero is expected to be the first Mahindra SUV built on the brand's new 'Freedom NU' flexible platform, which is set to make its debut on August 15, 2025. According to the spy shots, the cabin has an all-black theme, a redesigned three-spoke steering wheel, and a large touchscreen infotainment system. The dashboard has also been updated. Earlier leaks hinted at a semi-digital instrument cluster with a big TFT display and dual-zone climate control. On higher variants, a fully digital driver display is also expected. Rumours also suggest the new Bolero might pack Level-2 ADAS features like forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure alert, and traffic sign recognition. Tech goodies could include wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a wireless charger, powered driver's seat, push-button start, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, auto-dimming IRVM, and keyless entry. Under the hood, the trusted 1.5L mHawk diesel engine is likely to remain, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. If these updates are anything to go by, the 2026 Mahindra Bolero will keep its tough personality while adding a lot more modern comfort and tech for today's SUV buyers.

New 2025 Hyundai Venue To Launch On 24th October? Check What We Know So Far
Upcoming 2025 Hyundai Venue: Hyundai is gearing up to launch a new model in India on October 24, 2025. However, the company hasn't officially confirmed the name of the vehicle yet, but it is speculated to be the next-generation Hyundai Venue. It is expected to bring a fresh design and updated features, while keeping the current engine setup. So far, several spy shots and leaked videos have given us a glimpse of what's coming. The 2025 Venue will still carry its boxy SUV shape, but with major updates. Expect a revised rectangular front grille, new split headlamps, and a slightly tweaked bumper. Some spy images also hint at front parking sensors and an ADAS system. It might get newly designed 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, chunkier wheel arch cladding, updated roof rails and wing mirrors, and a longer rear spoiler, adding to its new look. The connected tail-lamps from the current model are likely to continue. Interior And Features (Expected) While there are no confirmed images of the cabin yet, the new Venue is likely to borrow a few premium touches from its bigger siblings, the Creta and Alcazar. Some expected features include a larger touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, and ADAS safety tech. Engine Options Under the hood, nothing is expected to change. The 2025 Venue might continue with the same three engine options: -- 1.0L turbo petrol (120 bhp) -- 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol (83 bhp) -- 1.5L turbo diesel (100 bhp) Gearbox options will also likely remain the same, including 5-speed manual, 6-speed iMT, 7-speed DCT, and 6-speed torque converter units, depending on the engine. The current Hyundai Venue is priced between Rs 7.94 lakh and Rs 13.62 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). With the added features and updated design, the new Venue is likely to be a little more expensive than the current model.
