TVS Motor working on new 450 cc motorcycle platform, shared with BMW and Norton
TVS has confirmed that the 450 platform and technology will be shared with BMW and Norton Check Offers TVS Motor Company is looking to diversify its premium motorcycle product range and will soon bring a new lineup of motorcycles powered by the 450 cc engine. TVS Motor's current Managing Director and soon-to-be Chairman, Sudarshan Venu, confirmed the development in a recent interview with CNBC TV-18. The top boss revealed that the technology and platform sharing will extend between BMW, TVS, and Norton. The 450 cc parallel-twin motor was first showcased on the BMW F 450 GS concept at EICMA 2024, and could soon spawn TVS and Norton products. New 450 cc TVS Motorcycles Coming Soon The upcoming 450 cc twin-cylinder engine is said to be jointly developed by TVS and BMW Motorrad, much like the 310 cc platform that powers the TVS Apache RR 310. Both brands also collaborated on a new EV platform. The new 450 platform is likely to be made in India and will power the production version of the BMW F 450 GS, set to arrive globally later this year. The BMW F 450 GS Concept was first showcased at EICMA 2024 drawing power from a 450 cc parallel-twin motor, which has been co-developed with TVS Meanwhile, the upcoming TVS 450 could be a full-faired motorcycle under the Apache name as the brand's new flagship, possibly called the TVS Apache RR 450. That said, there's no word yet on what the upcoming 450 cc TVS will be. The Indian two-wheeler giant will be moving to the twin-cylinder league, as a result, moving up not the power, performance, and price ladder. The upcoming TVS 450 cc bike will rival the made-in-India Aprilia RS 457 and Tuono 457 in the segment. Plans For Norton Motorcycles TVS previously confirmed plans to bring the Norton brand to India, the British premium motorcycle maker it acquired, towards the end of the year. The company is likely to first introduce the Norton V4SV to the market, followed by four other offerings in the first half of 2026. Sales will begin across the UK, India, and other parts of Europe. Production for the Norton bikes will start at 10,000 units per month in the first phase. The same 450 cc parallel-twin motor could power the future Norton offerings, which will help the brand position itself differently. Sudarshan Venu also hinted at different dealerships for Norton and premium TVS products, which should offer a more refined purchase experience to customers. Notably, Hero MotoCorp has implemented something similar with the Premia showrooms, bringing its premium bikes, Vida, and the Harley-Davidson X440 under one roof. Honda already does the same via the Big Wing dealerships. TVS is also developing a new range of motorcycles with the 300 cc RT-XD4 engine that will reportedly power an adventure tourer and supermoto Upcoming EV launches In the EV space, TVS plans to introduce an electric bike at a later date, while a new electric scooter is also said to be in the works. Moreover, the brand will launch an improved version of the iQube later this year. Not just new 450s, but TVS is also working on a new 300 cc range. The TVS Apache RTX 300 was showcased as a concept at the Auto Expo this year. The brand also has a new adventure tourer in the works, which could use the same RT-XD4 powertrain, showcased in December last year. The motor will belt out around 35 bhp and 28.5 Nm of peak torque, and could power more motorcycles going forward. Check out Upcoming Bikes In India. First Published Date: 06 Jun 2025, 17:31 PM IST

Luxury meets the wild: A weekend escape with the BMW X7 to Marchula Estate
Not every road trip is about chasing thrill. Some are about finding a pause — a chance to disconnect from the pace of city life and settle into a slower rhythm. This was one such drive. A getaway that starts with the journey We left Delhi around midnight, making the most of clear roads and cooler temperatures. The destination — Marchula — lies roughly 270 kilometres away, tucked deep into the lesser-explored edges of the Jim Corbett region. Unlike popular hill stations that crowd up quickly over weekends, Marchula offers something different. It is quiet, less commercial, and more rooted in its natural landscape. Our route took us past Moradabad and Kashipur before we began climbing onto the hills. The BMW X7 xDrive40d handled the change in terrain without any drama. Under the hood, its 3.0-litre inline-six diesel engine delivers 340 hp and 700 Nm of torque. But the power delivery is smooth and refined — it never feels aggressive. Cruising on the highway was quick and easy, but what really stood out was how composed the X7 felt once the road narrowed and the surface began to break up. Thanks to the adaptive air suspension and BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system, even the uneven mountain stretches felt manageable. The cabin remained quiet throughout, isolating us from road imperfections and keeping fatigue at bay — something you appreciate even more on a long, overnight journey. Arriving in Marchula By morning, we were deep in the forested hills of Uttarakhand. A short river crossing just before Marchula gave us a final reminder of the X7's off-road credibility. Raised suspension, hill descent control, and ample torque helped us through the shallow water crossing without fuss. It is a reminder that despite its luxury leanings, the X7 is more than capable when the terrain changes. Marchula itself is not a place you stumble upon — you come here deliberately. Set on the banks of the Ramganga River, it is a peaceful village surrounded by dense jungle, with very limited development. There are no shopping streets, no cafés, and no crowds. What you get instead is uninterrupted greenery, fresh air, and a real sense of stillness. A stay that matches the mood Our base for the weekend was Marchula Estate, a six-key sustainable retreat that blends seamlessly into the forest. Run by Mansi and Mustafa, the estate offers a low-impact, thoughtful approach to hospitality. It is not about bells and whistles, but about living lightly and creating a space where Nature leads the experience. There are three stand-alone cottages on the hillside — Amaltas, Gulmohar and Deodar — along with three rooms in the main house. Each has a unique aesthetic, built using upcycled wood, natural stone, and local materials. Solar power runs the essentials, and the water is filtered and served in reusable glass bottles. The estate grows its own herbs, composts waste, and encourages guests to adopt a slower pace. Conversations with Mansi and Mustafa revealed that this was not just a business idea. It was a life choice. Tired of the city, they decided to build something more meaningful — not just for themselves, but for their guests and the environment they inhabit. A different kind of weekend There is not much to do at Marchula — and that is exactly the point. Mornings start with mist rising off the river and the occasional call of a barking deer. Afternoons are for long walks along the Ramganga, or sitting with a book while the sunlight filters through the thick canopy. Mobile signal is patchy, and you will not find Wi-Fi. In a setting like this, the BMW X7 stood out for its versatility. Large and luxurious, yes, but also quietly capable. It did not look out of place even in this wild setting. When we did use it to explore nearby villages or take a short drive up into the forest roads, it handled everything with ease — from loose gravel to tight turns. Heading home As we packed up on Sunday afternoon, there was a sense of calm that had replaced the noise we had carried from the city. The X7 was loaded with bags and a weekend's worth of stillness, and the drive back felt shorter somehow — smoother and quieter, both on the road and in our heads. The X7 remained impressive throughout. It delivered what you expect from a flagship luxury SUV — power, comfort and advanced tech — but what really stood out was how well it adapted to every part of the journey. Whether it was the expressway, mountain climbs, or river crossings, the SUV did not miss a beat. Final thoughts If you are looking for a weekend getaway that is offbeat, peaceful and rooted in nature, Marchula should be on your radar. It is far enough to feel like an escape, yet reachable within a half-day's drive from Delhi. And if you are lucky enough to do it in something like the BMW X7, the journey itself becomes part of the reward. Together, Marchula Estate and the X7 delivered a rare combination — comfort and connection. Not just to a place, but to the idea of slowing down. Something most of us could use a little more of.

All-electric BMW M3 spotted testing on public roads, to feature quad-motor setup
The upcoming BMW M3 EV is closer to being production-ready with flared wheel arches that bring a wide, mean look. (SH Proshots) Notify me The first-ever all-electric BMW M3 has been spotted testing on public roads, and it is closer to being production-ready. The German automaker is working on its upcoming range of Neue Klasse 3-series models, with the sportier M3 sibling to feature both electric and internal combustion engine (ICE)- powered variants. The electric model will likely be dubbed the iM3 and will carry over much of its design from the 2023 Vision Neue Klasse concept car. The new electric M3, internally codenamed 'ZA0,' is expected to be launched in 2027 as a MY28 model. It bears a long, flat front-end and a low beltline, alongside LED headlamps that blend seamlessly with a closed-off, wide kidney grille. The sedan comes riding on 20-inch wheels covered by prominent wheel arches. Earlier test mules that were spotted had their fenders camouflaged in a bold M-colour pattern. The change is subtle, but the chunky fenders will increase the width by over 70 mm when compared to the current-gen 330i. When combined with the lowered suspension, it gives the M3 electric a wider and aggressive look. A look into the test mule's cabin reveals the dashboard that features a wide, central touchscreen display, but the driver notably misses out on a gauge cluster. This is owed to the fact that the production versions of the Neue Klasse 3-series will employ the Panoramic iDrive system that BMW showcased earlier this year at CES 2025. This incorporates a centrally mounted tablet as well as a pillar-to-pillar heads-up display for instrumentation, navigation, and media controls. BMW M3 Electric: Battery and specifications BMW has been developing all-new electric powertrains for its next-generation EVs, aiming to improve overall efficiency by 20 per cent. The automaker has stated that it will mount up to four electric motors on its upcoming EVs, with the M models likely to embrace quad-motor setups. While specifics on power figures remain unclear, BMW is confident its Neue Klasse platform can push out one megawatt (1,341 bhp). The Vision Driving Experience (VDX) concept car that was unveiled earlier this year employed a quad-motor setup and is said to deliver over 1,300 bhp. The M3 EV is expected to follow suit with one electric motor for each wheel, delivering a combined output of over 700 bhp with the base model. While power may go higher with subsequent trims, figures reaching four digits do not make too much sense for what is essentially a D-segment sedan. The next-gen ICE-powered M3 will be sold alongside its all-electric sibling with minimal design changes. It will be equipped with a new mild-hybrid inline six-cylinder engine, likely paired with a 48V system. Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India. First Published Date: 05 Jun 2025, 12:34 PM IST
