Due to the automotive industry's rapid changes, it is challenging to keep up with all of the newest developments. We at HT Auto are committed to providing the most pertinent and up-to-date information as it becomes accessible. The following is a brief summary of the main events from Monday, June 30.
First MPV in India to earn a five-star BNCAP rating is the Toyota Innova Hycross.
The Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (BNCAP) has officially given the Toyota Innova Hycross a five-star safety rating in the most recent series of crash tests. As a result of this outcome, the Hycross is the first MPV in India to be evaluated by BNCAP and the first Toyota model to undergo crash testing as part of the recently implemented Indian safety evaluation program. In the Adult Occupant Protection (AOP) category, the Innova Hycross earned an overall score of 30.47 out of 32 points, placing it at the highest 5-star rating. It should be noted that all of the test ratings are applicable to all Hycross variations, including the GX 8-seater petrol, VX, and ZX hybrids.

Real-world range of the Matter Aera 5000+ in Sport mode: This is how far it went.
With its electric drivetrain and manual gearbox, the Matter Aera 5000+ signifies a shift in the direction of electric motorcycles in India. Even though Matter claims that City mode has a range of 125 kilometers, we were curious to see how it would handle a more athletic riding style. In Ahmedabad, where the bike was kept in Sport mode at all times, we rode it in city traffic while using harsh throttle inputs, which is the ultimate test for any EV's efficiency.
