A detailed analysis and comparison of Tesla Model X and Tesla Model Y so that you can better understand which Tesla SUV is right for you.

Tesla Model X vs. Tesla Model Y Detailed Comparison

Throughout the majority of its existence, Tesla exclusively sold the Model S car. After the Tesla Model X SUV was introduced, that situation altered. All of a sudden, you had an option between a huge sedan and a giant SUV. But in recent years, the options have evolved. The Model 3 or the Model S are two options for small sedans if you desire a Tesla vehicle. You can now choose between the smaller Tesla Model Y and the larger Model X in terms of Tesla SUVs. Here, we examine the Model X and Y's similarities and differences based on the data to better assist you in selecting the best Tesla SUV.

Model X Price Vs. Model Y Price

Tesla Model X vs. Tesla Model Y Detailed Comparison

The price is by far the biggest and, for many, the most significant of the many significant numerical differences between the small Model Y and the medium-sized Model X. With a base price of $67,190, the Model Y is far more inexpensive than the Model X, which has a starting price of $122,190. Budget-conscious people will find the contrast to be clear-cut, but for the purposes of this analysis, let's assume you can buy a Model X but are unsure whether it is the better option over a Model Y.

Model X Range Vs. Model Y Range

Tesla Model X vs. Tesla Model Y Detailed Comparison

The Model X and Model Y have comparable driving ranges despite their different sizes, as we'll discuss momentarily. Depending on whether you choose the Performance or Long Range trims, the Model Y can go between 303 and 330 miles between charges, according to Tesla. Despite being bigger and heavier, the Model X can fit a bigger battery and, depending on the model you choose, can go between 311 and 348 miles on a single charge.

Model X Passenger Space Vs. Model Y Passenger Space

Tesla Model X vs. Tesla Model Y Detailed Comparison

Seating for five people is a standard feature of the Model X and Model Y, but that's just the beginning. Six seats—two in each of the three rows—or seven seats in a two-three-two configuration can be specified for the Model X. The identical two-three-two seating arrangement is also offered for the Model Y with a seven-seat option. For the Model X, a seven-seat configuration costs an additional $3,500, while a six-seat version costs an additional $6,500. While the third row of the Model Y would set you back $3,000,

The Model X has more passenger room than the Model Y because it is a bigger car. This results in an additional 0.7 inches of headroom and 4.3 inches of shoulder room in the Model X's front row. However, the Model Y has 0.6 inches of extra front-row legroom. The third row of the Model Y is really just big enough for youngsters, so the increased legroom in the first and second seats comes at a cost. With two fewer inches of headroom than the already constrained second row of the Model Y, the third row of the Model X is already a tight fit for adults.

In the second row, the situation is comparable. There are 1.5 inches more headroom and 2.8 inches more shoulder room in the longer, taller Model X compared to the Model Y. Once more, the Model Y has 2.1 inches greater second-row legroom than the Model X.

Model X Cargo Space Vs. Model Y Cargo Space

The 92.3 cubic feet of overall cargo space for the Model X with the six-seat layout, including the 6.6 cubic foot "frunk," is Tesla's best ever (the numbers shrink to 91.6 cubes for the five-seater and 88.2 for the seven-seat model).

The Model X has much more overall luggage space than the Model Y, which is not surprising. More importantly, there is more room within the car for heavier things. It's also important to note that carrying people and larger, bulkier objects will be simpler in the Model X than the Model Y thanks to the Falcon Wing doors and larger rear hatch. The Model Y may, however, be equipped with a roof rack to carry heavier objects thanks to its normal back doors.

In comparison, Tesla claims that the Vehicle Y can hold up to 76.2 cu ft of cargo total, counting the 4.1 cu ft frunk, with 72.0 cu ft for the seven-seat model.

Model X Dimensions Vs. Model Y Dimensions

The size difference between the Model X and Model Y is largely responsible for the variation in passenger and cargo space. External dimensions may also affect whether your new Tesla will fit in your garage. Of course, the Model X is bigger in every way, starting with a 2.9-inch longer wheelbase. It is 3.1 inches wider and 12.1 inches longer than the Model Y at 199.1 inches and 78.7 inches, respectively. The Model X is between 1.1 and 4.3 inches taller depending on how each is set up, making the two more comparable in height (the air-suspended Model X measures 67.6 inches standing on its tippy toes, before those Falcon doors go up).

Model X Performance Vs. Model Y Performance

Despite being heavier and bulkier than the Model X, the SUV is faster thanks to its larger batteries and more potent motors. Depending on configuration, a Model X may reach 60 mph from a stop in as low as 3.2 seconds and as much as 5.5 seconds. Since our last test of a Model X, Tesla reports that these times have been reduced and are now 2.5 seconds for the tri-motor Model X Plaid and 3.8 seconds for other dual-motor variants. Tesla claims that depending on configuration, the Model Y will reach 60 mph in as low as 3.5 seconds and as much as 4.8 seconds; we haven't yet tested this claim.

The Performance Upgrade kit, which includes a lowered suspension, bigger wheels, grippier tyres, and more powerful brakes, is included as standard equipment with the Model Y Performance. Without a doubt, these additions will improve its cornering capability, but we haven't yet been able to do instrumented testing to measure the difference.

Model X Towing Vs. Model Y Towing

Towing reduces the efficiency and range of your electric vehicle, just like it would with a gas or diesel-powered vehicle. Although the corporation has a large network of Supercharger stations, most of them are not designed to accommodate charging of vehicles with trailers attached. However, depending on the trim, the Model X can tow up to 4,960 pounds if you need to use your Tesla SUV for that purpose. In contrast, the Model Y can only pull 3,500 pounds no matter how it is dressed.

Model X Equipment Vs Model Y Equipment

Most of the same characteristics are available on Tesla models in terms of equipment and choices. Any model comes with Autopilot as standard equipment. It may be upgraded to Enhanced Autopilot and then to the Full Self-Driving package, which will eventually allow for fully autonomous driving. The front and second rows of seats in both vehicles are heated, but only the Model X has heated third-row seats; the Model Y does not. Each vehicle is available in the same five colours. The Model X currently has two different wheel options, however one of the Model Y's wheel options is only offered as part of the free Performance Upgrade package.

However, the Model X, which costs more, does include some functions that the Model Y does not. The Model X can open and close its front doors on its own in addition to the Falcon Wing rear doors. A heated steering wheel and a HEPA air filter are included on the Model X. In addition, the Model X includes two smaller sunroofs over the second row and a panoramic windshield that covers the entire front row, as opposed to the Model Y's single panoramic sunroof that covers both rows.

The organisation of the features is another issue. Although the Model X has inherited Tesla's contentious yoke steering wheel, it has a more traditional dashboard with an all-digital instrument cluster and a separate, landscape-oriented infotainment screen.

The organisation of the features is another issue. Although the Model X has inherited Tesla's contentious yoke steering wheel, it has a more traditional dashboard with an all-digital instrument cluster and a separate, landscape-oriented infotainment screen. The instrument cluster and infotainment system are both located on a single, landscape-oriented screen that is situated in the centre of the dashboard of the Model Y.

Should You Buy The Model X Or The Model Y?

If you have the money, the Model X is superior to the Model Y in terms of driving range, cargo room, towing capability, performance—especially in Plaid configuration—and the number of seating options. The lighter, smaller Model Y will fit in smaller garages, probably handle better, and travels almost as far on a charge while providing more room in the second row. Most purchasers will make their choice based on price, but if you have the additional $27,000 no problem, the Model X delivers more of everything. The Model Y is more than adequate for everyone else.

Yamaha MT-09 Gets Upgrade with Y-AMT Semi-Automatic Gearbox

Yamaha has introduced its groundbreaking Y-AMT semi-automatic gearbox technology on the 2024 MT-09 street naked motorcycle. This innovative system, weighing just 2.8 kg, is set to revolutionize the riding experience in the performance motorcycle segment. The Y-AMT technology, optimized for sporty riding, will debut on the 2024 MT-09 model equipped with the powerful 890cc CP3 three-cylinder engine, producing 120 PS.

The Y-AMT system allows riders to switch between automatic and manual shifting modes via a dedicated toggle on the switchgear. In manual mode, riders can use "+" and "-" paddles on the left handlebar to change gears, similar to paddle shifters in cars. The absence of a traditional clutch lever and foot-operated gear selector simplifies the riding experience.

Key features of the Y-AMT system include:

  • Integration with ride-by-wire throttle for optimized performance
  • Compatibility with cruise control and various riding modes
  • D and D+ modes for relaxed and performance-oriented riding, respectively

This development puts Yamaha in direct competition with other manufacturers exploring semi-automatic transmissions, such as BMW and KTM. However, Yamaha's focus on performance-oriented motorcycles sets it apart from competitors primarily targeting adventure and touring segments.

While Yamaha has showcased several multi-cylinder motorcycles to Indian dealers, including the YZF-R3, YZF-R7, MT-03, MT-07, and MT-09, only the R3 and MT-03 have been launched in India so far. The introduction of the MT-09 Y-AMT in the Indian market remains uncertain at this time.

The Y-AMT technology represents a significant advancement in motorcycle engineering, potentially influencing future developments in the industry. As manufacturers continue to explore innovative transmission solutions, riders can expect more options that blend performance with ease of use in the coming years.

Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG Bike Receives 6,000 Bookings in Just One Week

 

The Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG bike has made a remarkable entry into the market, attracting significant interest from two-wheeler buyers across India. Launched by Bajaj Auto, one of India’s leading two-wheeler manufacturers, the Freedom 125 CNG is the world’s first motorcycle to feature a CNG powertrain. The bike, which aims to offer lower running costs for its owners, was introduced on July 5 with a starting price of ₹95,000.

High Demand from the Start

Even before its official launch, the Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG had generated considerable buzz. According to Bajaj Auto, more than 30,000 people expressed interest in the bike when it first hit the market. The company has now reported that it received around 6,000 bookings within just one week of opening reservations on July 18. Customers can book the bike by paying a token amount of ₹1,000.

Variants and Prices

The Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG is available in three variants:

  • Drum Variant: Priced at ₹95,000 (ex-showroom)

  • Drum LED Variant: Priced at ₹1.05 lakh (ex-showroom)

  • Disc LED Variant: Priced at ₹1.10 lakh (ex-showroom)

The entry-level Drum variant features drum brakes on both the front and rear wheels, a halogen headlight, and a sheet metal belly pan. It does not include smartphone connectivity features. The mid-level Drum LED variant comes with an LED headlight, drum brakes on both wheels, and an LCD instrument cluster, but still lacks smartphone connectivity. The top-end Disc LED variant includes all the premium features such as a 240mm disc brake at the front, a 130mm drum brake at the rear, an LED headlight, a full LCD instrument cluster, and smartphone connectivity.

Engine and Mileage

The Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG is powered by a 125 cc engine that produces 9.4 bhp of power and 9.7 Nm of peak torque. It features a 2-litre petrol tank and a 16 kg CNG cylinder under the seat, capable of holding up to 2 kg of natural gas. Bajaj claims the bike offers up to 102 km/kg mileage on CNG and 64 km/l on petrol. The total range on CNG is up to 200 km, and when combined with petrol, the bike can travel up to 330 km. According to Bajaj, the Freedom CNG bike can save customers up to ₹1,800 in fuel costs.

Safety Measures

Concerns about the safety of the CNG cylinder, especially in the event of an accident, have been addressed by Bajaj Auto. The company has released several videos demonstrating the bike's crash test results. These tests included a frontal collision with a 1.5-tonne vehicle at 60 km/h and being crushed under the wheels of a 10-tonne truck. In both scenarios, the CNG cylinder remained intact with no leakage. However, independent safety tests are expected to provide a more comprehensive safety rating for the bike.

The Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG bike has certainly made a significant impact in the market with its innovative approach and impressive initial response. As the world's first CNG motorcycle, it promises to be a game-changer in the two-wheeler segment, offering an economical and environmentally friendly option for riders.

New Hero Xtreme 160R 4V 2024 Edition Launched for ₹1.38 Lakh with Upgrades

Hero MotoCorp has launched the updated 2024 Xtreme 160R 4V, priced at ₹1.38 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Xtreme 160R 4V includes significant upgrades such as dual-channel ABS, a redesigned pillion seat, new paint schemes, and enhanced safety features. The 160cc segment has always been lucrative, and the 2024 Xtreme 160R 4V aims to strike a balance between style and substance for buyers.

In June 2023, Hero MotoCorp introduced the Xtreme 160R with features like USD telescopic front forks, a 4V head, and an oil-cooling setup. Despite these improvements, enthusiasts called for dual-channel ABS, which has now been included in the 2024 Xtreme 160R 4V. The new Xtreme 160R 4V also features a refreshed design, with a new Kevlar Brown color option, in addition to the existing Neon Shooting Star and Stealth Black.

The most noticeable design update is the new black and bronze colorway with striking decals. The split seat design has been replaced with a single-piece seat for enhanced comfort. Additionally, there is a new LED tail light that looks more modern and premium. The 2024 model of the Xtreme 160R 4V also introduces a first-in-segment panic brake alert system that enhances safety by flashing the rear lights during emergency braking.

New Features of the 2024 Hero Xtreme 160R 4V:

Dual-channel ABS: Increases safety and completes the bike's feature set.
Panic Brake Alert: First-in-segment feature that flashes rear lights under emergency braking.
Drag Race Timer: New feature for recording 0-60 km/h sprints.
  
The powertrain remains the same, with a 163.2cc single-cylinder oil-cooled SOHC 4V engine delivering 16.6 bhp and 14.6 Nm of torque, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The primary competitors for the 2024 Hero Xtreme 160R 4V include the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Honda Hornet 2.0.

Ather Rizta 3.7 kWh Deliveries Set to Start by the end of July

 

Ather Energy has made a significant entry into the family scooter market with the launch of the Rizta in India. This new electric scooter is available with two battery pack options: 2.9 kWh and 3.7 kWh. While the deliveries of the 2.9 kWh variant have already begun, there was a delay with the 3.7 kWh version. However, Ather has announced that deliveries of the Rizta 3.7 kWh will start by the end of July.

Impressive Range and Charging

The 3.7 kWh battery pack offers a claimed range of up to 159 km. However, in real-world conditions, the range is expected to be around 125 km on a single charge. The scooter comes with Ather's Duo 700W charger, which charges the battery from 0 to 80 percent in 4 hours, and from 0 to 100 percent in 6 hours and 10 minutes. Using the Ather Grid, you can recharge 15 km of range in just 10 minutes. The battery pack is also IP67 dust and water-resistant, ensuring durability in various conditions.

Powerful Motor and Performance

The Rizta is powered by the same electric motor found in the 450X model. This motor delivers a peak power of 4.3 kW and a peak torque output of 22 Nm. It can accelerate from 0 to 40 kmph in just 4.7 seconds. The electric motor is IP66 resistant, providing additional protection against dust and water.

Advanced Features

The 3.7 kWh version of the Rizta comes with several advanced features. One of the highlights is the Magic Twist feature, which allows the rider to increase brake regeneration by twisting the throttle in the opposite direction. Additionally, the scooter includes Skid Control, which functions as a traction control system to enhance safety.

The Rizta S base model is equipped with the DeepView LCD instrument console from the 450S, which includes turn-by-turn navigation. In contrast, the Z variants feature a TFT screen with Google Maps navigation. It's worth noting that the S trim comes with a standard seat and does not include a pillion backrest, while the Z trim offers a standard pillion backrest and a premium seat.

With these features and options, Ather Energy aims to cater to a wide range of customers looking for a reliable and advanced electric scooter. Many eagerly anticipate the upcoming deliveries of the 3.7 kWh version.

Maruti Suzuki Launches Ignis Radiance Edition, Starting at Rs 5.49 Lakh

Maruti Suzuki has unveiled its latest offering in the hatchback segment, the Ignis Radiance Edition, with prices starting at Rs 5.49 lakh. The Ignis Radiance edition comes as part of the company's strategy to revitalize sales in the mass market segment, which has experienced a slowdown recently.

The Ignis Radiance Edition brings cosmetic enhancements to the popular hatchback, with variations based on the trim level:

• Entry-level Sigma trim: Priced Rs 35,000 lower than the standard model, it includes wheel covers for 15-inch steel wheels, door visors, and chrome accents.
• Higher-spec Zeta and top-spec Alpha trims: Also priced Rs 35,000 lower, these variants feature new seat covers, black cushions, door cladding, and door visors.

Notably, the mid-spec Delta variant is not available in the Radiance Edition line-up.

The Ignis Radiance Edition retains the same mechanical specifications as the standard model. It is powered by an 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine, offering both manual and AMT gearbox options to cater to diverse driver preferences.

In the competitive hatchback market, the Ignis Radiance Edition faces off against rivals such as the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios and Citroen C3. It also competes with other Maruti Suzuki models like the Wagon R, Swift, and Baleno.

With its attractive pricing and added features, the Ignis Radiance Edition aims to appeal to budget-conscious buyers looking for a refreshed look in the small car segment. The introduction of this special edition model demonstrates Maruti Suzuki's efforts to maintain its strong position in the Indian automotive market.
