The automotive industry is vast, and people can search for several things. However, thanks to certain insights, we know what people are specifically searching for. Last month was busy, as the world witnessed the loss of Ratan Tata, a man who takes all credit for setting up the automotive arm for the group, while Hyundai has been in the news for its IPO and Bajaj for launching a stunner in the form of the Pulsar N125. Here are the top 5 trending topics in the automotive industry in October 2024.
Ratan Tata
The passing of Ratan Tata has left a huge void in the world. Ratan Tata is known for many things; however, the automotive industry will always know him for Tata Motors, a company that has given us some iconic vehicles over the years and is the current leader in the electric passenger vehicle segment. Vehicles such as the Tata Sierra, Safari, and Indica paved the way to success, and Ratan Tata was the man behind them.
Hyundai
The second-largest carmaker in India, Hyundai, has been in the news for launching the biggest IPO in Indian history, while other topics such as the Hyundai Creta EV have also made the search popular. The company has big goals for India and aims to localise the EV supply systems for batteries, battery cells and electric drive systems. The carmaker has big EV investment plans, and the all-electric Creta could be the first product of this new plan.
Nissan Magnite
Nissan launched the updated Magnite a few days ago, and this quickly gathered interest among customers. Being the only offering by the carmaker for the mass market currently, the Magnite is priced at Rs 5.99 lakh ex-showroom. The Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and Kia Sonet competitor has seen a design update but carried forward the same engine options as earlier.
TVS
TVS is making headlines with every product launched in recent times — from the updated Jupiter 110 to the Apache RR 310, which got aero updates and other crucial changes. The RR 310 gets an updated design with winglets for added downforce and stability while getting a host of electronic aids, carried over from the RTR 310. Our review is live, after riding the RR 310 at fast track, while the Jupiter 110 is currently being tested in our hands to see how the changes make everyday practicality better.
Bajaj Pulsar 125
The Pulsar N125 specifically. Bajaj launched the new Pulsar N125 a few days ago, which adds to the line of sporty 125cc commuters customers can choose from. Powered by a fuel-efficient 125cc engine mated to a 5-speed gearbox, the Bajaj Pulsar N125 gets an LCD instrument cluster with phone connectivity and a sharp design, capable of slaying the Hero Xtreme 125R and the TVS Raider in the segment.
