Tesla has made changes to its popular Model Y L. This car can now accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in just 4.5 seconds. According to the company's statement, this improvement allows it to reach this speed 0.5 seconds faster compared to the previous version.

However, it should be noted that this performance increase is not available on all Model Y L units. Changes to the exterior and interior design of the car are also absent; the appearance remains the same.

These updates will be available for vehicles purchased after October 1, 2026. The price of the Tesla Model Y L starts from 61.99 lakh rupees for the display model. With an initial down payment of 6.5 lakh rupees, the monthly payment will be 49,990 rupees. Currently, no official discounts are offered on this model.

Despite the improved acceleration, the stated range of the Tesla Model Y L remains at 681 kilometers, consistent with the figures of the previous version. It is important to note that actual mileage depends on many factors, including driving conditions, speed, and weather. The car is equipped with an 88 kWh battery pack.

The Model Y L is equipped with an all-wheel-drive system and dual motors. Although Tesla has not officially disclosed detailed powertrain specifications, it is assumed that the car can produce 514 horsepower and 590 Nm of torque. The maximum speed is 201 kilometers per hour.

According to the company, using a Tesla Supercharger station, the Model Y L can cover a distance of up to 288 kilometers after a charging session of only 15 minutes. The car supports both fast DC charging at 250 kW and AC charging up to 11 kW. Tesla is actively expanding its charging network in the Indian market.

Currently, the Tesla network includes 20 Superchargers and 28 Destination Chargers. By the end of 2026, the company plans to add three more new locations to this list. In the premium electric vehicle market, the Model Y L competes with models such as the BMW iX1 and BYD Sealion 7.

Toyota recently updated the Glanza model, followed by observations of the updated version of the popular seven-seater MPV Innova Hycross being tested. However, the latest information about the Toyota Fortuner has emerged from testing conducted in Thailand. During these trials, the vehicle was completely covered in camouflage.

Recent photos from informants show the front end of the car, providing details on the grille, lighting design, and overall appearance. The vehicle will be equipped with a new front bumper. Let's examine the expected innovations for the popular Fortuner.

The most significant changes will affect the front end of the SUV. The SUV's front fascia will become sharper and bolder. The vehicle will feature a large central mesh grille. The upper grille and headlight area will have horizontally arranged elements. The overall look of the front end will resemble the new Hilux.

The side view of the car was also noted in recent leaks. The SUV features a large hood, a vertical cabin, and good ground clearance. The off-roader will have corresponding wheel arches, side steps, and multi-spoke wheels. These details were observed during testing, although due to the camouflage on the doors, mirrors, and rear panel, not many details are visible.

Regarding the interior, it also shows characteristics of the Hilux. The car will receive a more modern dashboard, which will include a large multimedia display, a digital instrument cluster, and additional connectivity features. The existing 2.8-liter diesel engine will be retained in the vehicle. An ADAS module may be installed at the front of the SUV. A panoramic roof is also anticipated.

Now, concerning the release timeline for this vehicle in India. Toyota released its new generation Hilux this year. The new Toyota Fortuner will be based on the same platform and maintain a similar style. It is anticipated that this vehicle might enter the market in 2027. Before that, Toyota may introduce the Innova Hycross in India in December.

Maruti Suzuki is updating its compact cars in 2026. This year the company updated the Brezza and Baleno models, and the WagonR may be the next model to receive an update. Thus, an updated version of the Maruti Suzuki WagonR could soon be seen.

The updated version of this car has been spotted multiple times during testing. According to CarTok, an updated version of the Maruti Suzuki WagonR can be expected this year. The main change in the updated WagonR may be a new engine.

A camouflaged car was recently spotted. This spy shot suggests possible changes to the car's design. Regarding the exterior, the new WagonR is likely to retain a look similar to the current model, featuring a tall and angular design.

Additionally, the car might feature vertically oriented taillights. The company may also change the headlight design, adding a new grille and front bumper. However, none of these design elements were clearly visible in the test sample. Overall, the car's appearance is likely to remain largely the same.

Various modifications are expected in the car's interior. The car currently features a 7-inch touchscreen display, which the company may upgrade. The new WagonR might come with a new infotainment system. It is also possible that the front seats will be equipped with headrests integrated into the backrest.

The most significant changes may concern the engine. The current WagonR is available with two engines: a 1.0-liter three-cylinder and a 1.2-liter four-cylinder. These engines provide power of 89 hp and torque of 89 Nm and 113 Nm, respectively.

In the new WagonR, the company may install a 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine, which is used in the new Baleno, Swift, and Dzire models. This engine is lighter and offers better fuel economy. The current CNG consumption for the WagonR is 34 kilometers per kilogram. The car is sold at an exclusive starting price of 4.99 lakh rupees. The company intends to maintain this price for the new model.
