Isuzu Malaysia today launched the new D-Max facelift which continues to be offered in five variants, all of which are fully imported (CBU) from Thailand. The refreshed pick-up truck features an updated design and kit list, but maintains the same two inline-four turbodiesel engines as before.
BMW Motorrad India has launched the M 1000 XR in India for a price of Rs 45 lakh (ex-showroom). It has arrived in the country as a completely built-up unit (CBU) and deliveries are set to commence from June 2024. The BMW M 1000 XR is powered by a 999cc, inline four-cylinder motor that churns out 201bhp and 113Nm of peak torque. This is the same engine as the one on the M 1000 RR albeit with some modifications. That engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a bi-directional quickshifter.
The 2024 BMW M 1000 XR has been launched in India at Rs 45,00,000 (ex-showroom Delhi), making it the most expensive sport tourer in India today.

At the price, it gets the M Competition package as standard, which adds in a whole bunch of lightweight carbon fibre components that make this XR a good 3kg lighter than its standard variant.

But, is the Pulsar NS400Z just a sum of its parts, or does it have that unique Pulsar DNA? We rode it for a whole day to answer some crucial questions.
Dodge knows it needs to stick the landing with the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona EV to get the Brotherhood on board with electric muscle cars. That's why it's throwing a bunch of party tricks in the mix, like the Fratzonic exhaust, fake engine vibrations, pistol grip shifter, and a donut mode. But a new patent application uncovered by CarBuzz suggests the car could eventually get a sweet performance-oriented active aero setup built into its pass-through grille.
When thinking about crash tests (like I know you were just doing, amirite?), visions of two dummies traveling down a straight path might come to mind. But that's silly because no two crashes are alike, and they will definitely not always be straight-line head-on collisions.
