The Return of a Legend: 2025 Yezdi Roadster Teased

For motorcycle enthusiasts, few names evoke as much nostalgia and passion as Yezdi. The brand, under Classic Legends, is poised to make waves once again with the official teaser of the 2025 Yezdi Roadster. The teaser, which dropped on social media, has already sent fans into a frenzy. The updated Roadster is set to be a significant evolution from its previous model, featuring a slew of cosmetic and mechanical upgrades.

The teasers and spy shots suggest the new Roadster will come with a redesigned LED headlight and tail lamp, and a fresh color palette. There are also rumors of two variants being offered: a traditional cruiser and a new bobber-style version with a single seat. Under the hood, the bike is expected to be powered by the updated 334cc liquid-cooled engine, a mill that has already proven its mettle in the Yezdi Adventure. This re-tuned engine, along with features like Road, Off-road, and Rain ABS modes and traction control, promises to deliver a ride that is both powerful and refined. The new Yezdi Roadster, which is expected to launch on August 12, 2025, is set to be a significant contender in the mid-size motorcycle segment, challenging established players with its blend of retro charm and modern technology.

Citroën's Bold New Vision: "Shift into the New"

French automaker Citroën, known for its focus on comfort and unique design, has unveiled a new strategic plan for India named "Citroën 2.0 – Shift Into the New." This new strategy is a clear signal of the company's long-term commitment to the Indian market. The plan, which is built on extensive customer feedback, aims to elevate the brand's presence through product upgrades, an expanded retail network, and a greater emphasis on customer experience.

At the heart of this strategy are upgrades to the C3, Aircross, and the upcoming Basalt Coupe SUV. These enhancements, which are being developed with significant input from India-based engineering teams, will focus on design, in-cabin technology, and comfort, ensuring the vehicles are perfectly tailored to Indian driving needs. The company is also on an aggressive network expansion drive, with plans to double its current touchpoints by the end of the year, with a special focus on Tier II, III, and IV cities. The announcement of this new strategy, which also features cricket legend MS Dhoni as the brand ambassador, positions Citroën for a new chapter of growth in India's competitive automotive landscape.
