If you told us five years ago that we’d be driving a Tesla Cybertruck through India’s bustling streets, we’d have laughed while sipping our masala chai. But here we are — behind the yoke of the Cyberbeast, the range-topping version of Tesla’s most outrageous creation. It's not just a vehicle — it’s a rolling spectacle, an SUV-sized spaceship blowing a raspberry on convention, and possibly the boldest electric machine to roam the Indian roads. We got to spend a brief time with the Cybertruck in Surat, courtesy of Gopin.

In its Investor Day presentation, Hyundai revealed the new MPV will be a ‘family mover’ to offer ‘mobility for all’. There is little detail available on this new MPV for the Indian market, though Hyundai would have two paths to follow - a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and XL6-rivalling MPV likely sharing its platform and powertrains with the Kia Carens. This would mark the safer route into the Indian MPV market with Hyundai already having access to a tested and ready platform, powertrains and tech. Hyundai could look to give its MPV a completely different top hat to differentiate it from its cousin. Hyundai does offer the Stargazer MPV in some Asian markets - based on the Carens platform - though it remains to be seen if this will be considered as the new MPV for India. Inversely, the new MPV for India could go on to become a new generation of the Stargazer for global markets.

Another visual detail that can be observed are the flush door handles.
While BMW hasn’t given us a glimpse at the interior, it is safe to expect that it will come with a minimalistic interior layout much like the Neue Klasse concept. Expect very few physical controls to be present, with most of the functions, including the iDrive controller to be integrated into the large central touchscreen.
