The Husqvarna Vitpilen 250 is a close cousin to the KTM 250 Duke. But on MotorInc First, Shumi's telling Kartikeya that it is even calmer which might be a pro, and a con, both.

The updated Maruti Suzuki Swift is here. Buyers will like it, but enthusiasts may not, conclude Kartikeya and Shumi on MotorInc First. The updates make the Maruti Swift, smoother, quicker, more efficient, safer and it's better equipped. But the fizziness of the outgoing hatchback? That's been taken back to create a better family car.

The Hero Mavrick 440 is the second product from the platform that gave us the Harley-Davidson X440. But with tweaks to suspension, wheel sizes, seating position and more, the Mavrick feels very different from the Harley. It's also a bit less expensive. The truly impressive thing, however, is how comfortable, easy-going and pleasant the riding experience is! Could this be your first bike?

The Punch.ev is Tata's smaller electric vehicle and it sits below the super popular Nexon EV.

On MotorInc First, here's everything you need to know about the new Tata Punch electric.
