In this specification comparison article, we put the upcoming rumoured Yamaha MT-15 naked performance bike vs KTM Duke 125, the baby Duke.

Yamaha is planning to launch its new performance oriented motorcycle, MT-15 in the Indian markets. As per the ongoing speculations, it could be launched in this month.

Yamaha R15 V3 was the most affordable performance bike till now, until came the KTM Duke 125. Now, the baby Duke is the most affordable performance oriented. But, Duke is a naked bike and R15 is a pure sports bike.

So, if MT-15 comes into play, it will fit as a perfect competitor for Duke 125. Both are naked bikes with performance on their mind.

So, let’s put Yamaha MT-15 against KTM Duke 125 to know which one is a better choice.

Yamaha MT-15 Vs KTM Duke 125 – Price

Yamaha MT-15KTM Duke 125
Price (ex-showroom)Rs 1.3 Lakhs (expected)Rs 1.18 Lakhs

MT-15 is expected to be priced in a similar range of R15 V3, at around Rs 1.3 Lakhs. The Duke is priced at Rs 1.18 Lakhs, making it a cheaper option.

Even if the MT-15 is priced at Rs 1.3 Lakhs, the least expected difference between both the bikes is Rs 12,000. If the price of MT-15 is higher, then pricing may play a big role.

Duke 125 gets a smaller 124.6cc liquid-cooled engine that produces 14.5 BHP and 12 Nm of peak torque. Duke also gets a 6-speed gearbox.

Obviously, MT-15 will deliver higher power figures. A regular 150cc motorcycle would deliver power figures nearing to Duke 125. But the VVA system swoops in to deliver more power.

MT-15 Thailand-Spec gets gold anodized USD Forks at the front. However, the Indian version gets telescopic forks at the front and a rear mono shock at the back. For braking purposes, it uses Front and Rear Disc brake with Dual-channel ABS.

Duke 125 gets Upside-Down forks at the front and a rear mono shock at the back, just like Duke 200. It gets front and rear disc brakes with a single-channel ABS for braking. Here, it misses out on the rear ABS and gets Rear Lift-Off Protection instead.

Yamaha MT-15 Vs KTM Duke 125 – Design

Talking about the design, MT-15 looks a lot like the elder MT motorcycles. The typical aggressive and muscular styling paired with sharp creased body will attract a lot of people.

On the other hand, Duke 125 still follows the teenage dream with loud decals, funky graphics and the orange alloy wheels. It does not mean that Duke 125 looks boring. Duke 125 certainly is amongst the most styling motorcycles under Rs 1.5 Lakhs.

Summarizing, MT-15 looks a bit mature which will attract the millennial as well as a mature buyer. Duke 125 will find more buyers in the youth, probably under the age of 25.

Yamaha MT-15 Vs KTM Duke 125 – Verdict

Going by the engine specifications and the price speculations, we believe MT-15 will give a tough competition to Duke 125. The pricing range is not that different and so are the power figures.

The feature list is also similar, with Duke missing out LED lights and rear ABS. However, Duke still gets a advantage over MT-15 because of its trademark exhaust note. That’s what a lot of people are mad about.

From the FZ range of motorcycles to the Fascino scooter and a few products in between (YZF-R3), Yamaha has had a good run in India. Now, Yamaha plans to enter entry-level performance motorcycle segment.

So, here is a list of upcoming new Yamaha bikes and scooters in India, to know what the brand has in store for us in near future.

Engine Fuel-injected, single-cylinder, 155cc
Power 19BHP
Torque 15m
Transmission 6-speed gearbox

Yamaha MT-15 was recently showcased in Thailand, where it might replace the M-Slaz naked bike. Reports suggest that the naked streetfighter version of R15 might launch in India by 2019. Yamaha R15 is the most affordable performance motorcycle and this might be another performance motorcycle from Yamaha. It will go against the likes of KTM Duke 200 because MT-15 will be priced higher than usual 150cc bikes. We expect a price range of around Rs 1.3 Lakhs or so. It will also be equipped with Anti-Braking safety feature.

Price ₹ 3 Lakhs
Launch Date 2019
Engine Fuel-injected, twin-cylinder, 321cc
Power 41.4 BHP
Torque 29.6 Nm
Transmission 6-speed gearbox

Upcoming New Yamaha Bikes in India - Yamaha MT 03

The MT-03 is a naked version of the YZF-R3. So, minus the fairing, it is the same as the R3. This means a 321cc parallel-twin engine powers the MT-03 and makes 42BHP power and 30Nm torque. This engine will be paired to a 6-speed gearbox. The MT-03 borrows its styling cues from bigger bikes such as the MT-09. In the features department, this bike will likely come with ABS as standard equipment. Yamaha may give it a slipper clutch too but the likelihood of that happening is low. Expect this bike to come to India in Black and Blue colours sometime in 2019. Its competition will include BMW G310R and KTM Duke 390.

2019 Yamaha R3

Price ₹ 3.3 Lakhs
Launch Date Mid-2019
Engine Fuel-injected, twin-cylinder, 321cc
Power 41.4 BHP
Torque 29.6 Nm
Transmission 6-speed gearbox

2019 Yamaha R3 will receive minor visual upgrades to make it look sportier than the current gen. It will receive revisions to the front portion, its trademark gills and will sort a bigger air intake. The alloy wheels and the rest of the body remain the same. It will continue with dual-channel ABS, LED headlamps and its twin-cylinder 321cc engine. The engine produces 41.4 BHP and 29.6 Nm of peak torque. The prices will increase by a little margin.

Launch Date 2019
Engine Fuel-injected, single-cylinder, 155cc
Power 15BHP
Torque 14.4Nm
Transmission Automatic

Upcoming New Yamaha Bikes in India - Yamaha NMax

The NMax scooter was showcased by Yamaha at 2016 Auto Expo. The company will likely bring it to India to compete against the likes of Aprilia SR 150. In this application, the fuel-injected 155cc engine of the NMax will make 15BHP power and 14.4Nm torque. Paired with a CVT automatic gearbox, this scooter should be quite zippy. Incidentally, this 155cc engine will also perform duties on the YZF-R15 V3.0.

New 100cc Bike

Price ₹ 40,000
Launch Date 2020
Engine Carbureted, single-cylinder, 110cc
Power 9BHP
Torque 9Nm
Transmission 4-speed

The new 100cc bike from Yamaha will likely come during the festive season of 2017. This bike will likely replace the Saluto RX in Yamaha’s India lineup. Using the same engine as the Saluto RX, this bike will likely have power and torque outputs of 9BHP and 9Nm, respectively. Expect to see this bike sport a 4-speed gearbox.

New 100cc Scooter

Price ₹ 50,000
Launch Date 2020
Engine Carbureted, single-cylinder, 113cc
Power 9BHP
Torque 9Nm
Transmission Automatic

The new 100cc scooter from Yamaha will likely be a replacement for the Cygnus Alpha scooter. The sales of the Cygnus Alpha have not been as great as Yamaha would have liked while the Fascino has been doing quite nicely. So, the new 100cc scooter will likely draw styling inspiration from the Fascino. However, its proportions will likely be similar to the Cygnus Alpha. It will likely sport the same 113cc carbureted engine as on the Cygnus Alpha and will likely make 9BHP power and 9Nm torque with an automatic gearbox onboard. This scooter will likely rival the Activa 110 from Honda and Jupiter from TVS.

The third-generation iteration of the Maruti Suzuki Wagon R has finally made its debut in India. It is based on Suzuki’s lightweight HEARTECT platform, the new Wagon R is longer, wider and as a result of this, offers more space on the inside, both for the passengers as well as their luggage. In a first in the history of Wagon R, Maurti Suzuki has introduced this car with two engine options, the existing 1.0-litre along with the Swift’s 1.2-litre unit.

As a result of this, it has become the only Maruti car in India to retail with two different engines of the same fuel. All that said, it will not be a smooth sailing for the tall-boy from Maruti. This is because it will face stiff competition from its arch rival, the Hyundai Santro, which too received a major generation update last year.

Read along!

That said, Hyundai is also offering a 5-speed AMT unit as well. This economical automatic gearbox is available only on the mid-spec Magna and Sportz variants.

As mentioned before, the new Maruti Wagon R for its 2019 iteration will retail with two engine options. One is going to be the existing 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder unit capable of churning out 62 BHP of power along with 90 NM of peak torque. This engine will retail in a total of three different variants. These will be the LXI, VXI and the VXI with AGS.

With its new platform and the use of the same 1.1-litre, 4-cylinder Epsion engine, the new Santro promises an ARAI certifies fuel efficiency figure of 20.3 km/l.

2018 Hyundai Santro review 5 image

Expect the 2019 iteration of the Maruti Wagon R to offer a mileage figure of around 20 km/l. In real world driving condition, this number can stand around the mark of around 16-18 km/l.

2018 Hyundai Santro Vs 2019 Maruti Wagon R- Exteriors

From the outside, this third generation iteration of the Santro is completely different from its earlier generations. Its exterior design is based on Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 philosophy. Hence, you get a very sharp yet sophisticated persona. Up-front, you get a large grille, Hyundai’s cascading grille design. The side profile with the slight kink on the rear window makes it look quite youthful. At the back, Hyundai has kept things simple yet elegant. The square tail-lamps looks very basic but couple them to the otherwise sharp creaes, the whole rear fascia looks quite appealing.

Coming to the new Wagon R, with this generation update, it will continue to retain its tall-boy design. Going by the spy shots of the test mule, it seems that there is no change in terms of the vehicle’s overall silhouette. Expect the new Wagon R to come with an aggressive front fascia. We believe that the 2018 Wagon R could even take its design inspiration from the Suzuki Solio. This vehicle is currently on sale in Japan. And was recently seen testing on Indian roads.

2018 Hyundai Santro Vs 2019 Maruti Wagon R- Interiors

In typical Hyundai fashion, the interiors of the Santro feature a very sophisticated look. In order to keep things interesting, the dashboard comes with an augmented layout. The dual-tone colour scheme adds premiums to the cabin. And the ‘elephant inspired’ centre console gets looks quite nice as well. Overall the touch and feel of the cabin are quite nice, something which you expect from an Hyundai nevertheless.

Coming to the new Wagon R, we expect the cabin to get a major overhaul. The design will remain neat and simple. Just like the current spec version, it will have plenty of storage space onboard. In addition to this, the interiors will be roomy enough to accommodate 5 people. The quality and finish of the materials are going to be decent. We expect Maruti to stick to a single tone colour scheme for the cabin. Likely to be primarily black in nature with several silver accents.

2018 Hyundai Santro Vs 2019 Maruti Wagon R- Features

Hyundai is known for offering top-of-the-line features across its product line-up. And despite the Santro being an entry-level product, it gets a very decent feature list.

  • Touchscreen Infotainment system
  • Android Auto
  • Apple Car Play
  • Fog-Lamps
  • Rear Washer Wiper
  • Power Windows
  • Rear Air-con vents

Maruti Suzuki of-late has been providing all its recent launches with several safety features as standard.

The premium compact SUV segment in India now has an all-new entry, the Tata Harrier SUV. It is based on a platform which has been derived from Land Rover’s D8 architecture. The Harrier comes with a unique exterior design in addition to a feature-loaded cabin and that too at a very aggressive price point. As a result of which, this SUV is going to stand shoulder to shoulder with the competition. And talking about that, the heaviest competition it will face is going to be from the Jeep Compass.

While the Harrier will only retail with a diesel engine and that too only with a manual gearbox, the Jeep Compass will have an upper hand as it comes in both petrol as well as diesel guises and also offers an automatic gearbox in its portfolio. In addition to this, the time time of its launch, the Harrier is not going to get a four-wheel drive system. However, the Compass offers the same in select variants. All that said, the Harrier scores better in terms of its interior quality, comfort and equipment levels. All in all, this rivalry is going to be a tough one.

Yamaha has finally launched the much awaited MT-15 naked streetfighter in India. At a price of Rs 1.36 Lakhs (ex-showroom), it goes against the likes of TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, KTM Duke 125 and Bajaj Pulsar NS200.

MT-15 is basically the naked version of the R15 V3. Both use the same engine, chassis, suspension and braking parts. However, while the R15 V3 is a sportsbike with a dedicated riding position, the MT-15 offers a better relaxed riding posture.

RTR 200 4V gets premium KYB telescopic forks and a rear monoshock absorber. The braking setup remains the same.

Yamaha MT-15 Vs TVS Apache RTR 200 4V – Design

MT-15 takes heavy inspiration from the elder MT siblings, like the MT-09. The typical naked streetfighter looks are perfectly inherited. The sharp creases and the heavy tank extensions are catchy for the eyes.

At the front, it gets its trademark Bug-shaped LED headlamps. The headlamps give it the name – The Dark Warrior. The alloy wheels and the exhaust muffler are borrowed from R15 V3, as they are different from the international-spec.

TVS Apache RTR 200 4V on the other side is a fresh design and not inspired by another TVS bike. Unlike the mature styling of MT-15, Apache looks funky and more stylish.

The overall design between both the bikes is not much different, as both are naked streetfighters. Apache gets sculpted headlamps with DRLs with a small visor atop, an engine cowl, double barrel exhaust muffler and the race-derived split seats.

Overall, both the bikes look sport and style fused together. It’sjust that MT-15 is a bit mature and Apache is a bit loud and funky.

Yamaha MT-15 Vs TVS Apache RTR 200 4V – Performance

Comparing both the bikes, we felt the MT-15 to be a more energetic bike. The shorter gears and the super quick acceleration is much applauded. It’s not like RTR 200 isn’t swift, just that the Yamaha motorcycle is a bit better.

On the highways, Apache has an advantage of being a bigger capacity motorcycle. At triple speeds, Apache is comfortable, without any stress. However, the MT-15 records a higher top speed of nearly 131 km/hr.

Summing up, both are perfect bikes for the daily city commuting as well as a quick speed run on the stretches.

Which makes it the third most fuel-efficient car in India, behind the Maruti Ciaz and Maruti Celerio diesel DDiS 125. The Jazz is a direct rival to Hyundai’s Elite i20, but, although it boasts higher mileage figures, it hasn’t been able to match the i20’s popularity. The 1.5-litre iDTEC diesel motor powering the new model Honda Jazz is good for 100PS power and 200Nm torque, but it is let down by high NVH levels.

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga comes with a new 1.5 L diesel in-house engine. Ertiga will be the second car after Ciaz to get a bigger diesel engine.

With the introduction of a more powerful diesel engine, Maruti has upped its MUV game for the Ertiga. The new 1.5L DDiS diesel engine churns out a power of 95bhp with a peak torque of 225Nm.

To lower the NVH levels, the new engine gets a dual mass flywheel. The new DDiS 225 will soon replace the on-going 1.3L DDiS 220 engine sourced by Fiat.

As the new Ertiga gets some changes under the hood, the interiors and the exteriors design remains identical to the older one. The new Ertiga gets a 6-speed manual transmission against the 5-speed manual transmission which is offered in the previous version.

mahindra-marazzo

Maruti introduced the 1.5L diesel engine in Ertiga to rival with its competitor, Mahindra Marazzo and Renault Lodgy. Let’s have a look at how Maruti Ertiga 1.5 competes with its competitors in terms of performance.

Here, we have considered the top end variant of all three cars:

Engine Displacement Maruti Ertiga 1.5Mahindra MarazzoRenault Lodgy 110ps

Max Power95bhp121bhp108bhp
Peak Torque225Nm300Nm245Nm
Mileage24.2Kmpl17.3Kmpl19.98Kmpl

The most efficient of the lot is the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga returning a mileage of 24.2 Km per litre. However, the 1.5L diesel motor churning out a power of 95bhp is the least powerful of the lot.

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga offers safety features like dual standard airbags, ABS with EBD and offers a warranty of 2 years or 40,000 km, whichever is at the earliest.

Lets have a look at the pricing of Maruti Suzuki Ertiga 1.5L and its competitors:

PricesMaruti Ertiga 1.5Mahindra MarazzoRenault Lodgy
Ex-showroomRs 11.27 lakhRs 14.59 lakhRs 12.37 lakh

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga ZDI+ is the least expensive in its competition, thus a value for money product.

Honda is all set to launch the new HR-V in the Indian Market by the year 2020. The Honda HR-V will sit in between the WR-V and the CR-V in the lineup. The R-V series from Honda has only received a lukewarm response in the Indian market but Honda hopes that it will change with the new HR-V.

When launched, the HR-V will rival against the likes of the Nissan Kicks, the Hyundai Creta and the Jeep Compass. The Honda HR-V is already on sale in many international markets where it is known as the Vezel.

While it may be generic, it has been executed quite aesthetically. HR-V, on the other hand, is quite bold with sharp lines and an angular fascia as we have seen in most Honda cars these days.

We pit the MG Hector against the quite popular Mahindra XUV500 to see how they fare against each other on paper.

MG Motors is all set to launch the new Hector in the Indian Market and it will be revealed on May 15, 2019. The company has already started mass production of the SUV at its Halol plant as was already reported earlier.

When launched, the Hector will rival against the likes of the newly launched Tata Harrier, the Jeep Compass and also the upcoming Hyundai Tuscon facelift.

Here we take a closer look at how the Hector fares against the XUV500, the most popular SUV in this segment.

Engine 2.2L, mHawk engine1.5L, Multi-air,
turbocharged engine
Power140 Bhp143 Bhp
Torque320 Nm250 Nm
Transmission6-speed Automatic6-speed manual/automatic

The Hector will be powered by a 1.5L, turbocharged, petrol engine which produces 143 Bhp and 250 Nm of peak torque. When compared to the Mahindra XUV500’s petrol engine, the latter is powered by a 2.2L, petrol engine producing 140 Bhp and 320 Nm of torque.

The MG Hector is slightly more powerful than the equivalent Mahindra XUV500 petrol and that too from a smaller engine. You can hence expect the Hector to be a bit more fuel efficient than the XUV500. However, the Mahindra XUV500 does have quite a lot more torque than the Hector. Both cars have 6-speed automatic while the Hector gets a manual too. The Hector will also come with the petrol engine mated to a mild-hybrid system, so expect even more fuel economy in that variant.

The MG Hector will also come with a 2.0L diesel unit which already does duty in the Jeep Compass. The engine produces 170 Bhp Bhp and 350 Nm of torque. The Mahindra XUV500 comes with a bigger 2.2L mHawk diesel unit which produces 155 Bhp and 360 Nm of torque. Again, the Hector is slightly more powerful but torque figures are roughly the same. The Mahindra has the option of both manual and automatic transmissions while the MG only gets a manual.

In terms of dimensions, the Hector is slightly longer than the XUV500 and thus we can expect it to have a slightly longer wheelbase too. However, the XUV500 sits higher and is wider than the Hector.

In terms of design, the Hector clearly has the edge over the XUV500. The XUV500 has been on Indian roads for quite some time now and its design has evolved over the years but is still quite rounded and plain. On the other hand, the MG Hector brings a fresh new design to the palate of mid-sized SUVs and it looks very contemporary with sharp lines and an upright stance.

On the interiors, while the Mahindra XUV500 comes decently well equipped, material quality does not feel all that good with a lot of hard touch plastics. The Hector on the other is loaded to the brim with smart technology and the materials used inside the car are also better than the XUV500. The Hector easily has the more premium cabin of the two.

The Hyundai Venue was finally launched yesterday after much anticipation at a starting price of Rs. 6.5 lakhs (ex-showroom) and tops out at Rs. 11.15 lakhs. The Venue sits in the highly competitive and now, rather crowded segment of sub-compact SUVs. This includes the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, the Tata Nexon, the Mahindra XUV300 and the Ford Ecosport. Here we take a detailed look on how the Venue compares with each of its rivals with its technical specifications and prices.

In terms on length, all these cars are just shy of 4 meters and the Venue, XUV300 and the Brezza are at the same length of 3995 mm. However, the Ford Ecosport is sligtly longer than the Venue. In terms of wheelbase, the Venue has is longer than the Nexon by just a margin and equals the Brezza but shorter than the other two. The XUV300 has the longest wheelbase.

In terms of width, the Venue is actually narrower than most other cars, wider only than the Ecosport. The Venue is also the shortest of all the cars. The Venue gets 16-inch rims along with the Nexon and the Brezza while the other two have larger 17-inch rims. In the end, the Venue has a good boot capacity at 350L, lesser only than the Nexon. So in terms of overall dimensions, the Venue is not the largest SUV here.

Engine and Gearbox

The Venue gets three engine options – a naturally aspirated petrol, a turbo petrol and a turbo diesel power unit. Similarly, the Ford Ecosport also gets three engines with similar configurations. The XUV300 and the Nexon gets two engines each – a turbo petrol engine and a turbo diesel engine. The Vitara Brezza only gets one diesel engine. Maruti Suzuzki will however introduce a petrol engine in the Brezza soon.

The 1.2L, naturally aspirated, petrol engine is the most fuel efficient naturally aspirated engine of the lot but it is quite low on power compared to the others. On the other hand, the 1.0L, turbo petrol has 120 bhp, just 5 bhp less than the Ford Ecosport’s engine with similar configuration. The XUV300 has the torqueist engine of the lot with 200 Nm of peak torque.

In terms of transmission, the Venue along with the Ecosport and Nexon have automatic gearboxes besides the regular manual boxes. The Venue gets a sophisticated 7-speed dual clutch transmission while the Ecosport gets a 6-speed torque convertor. The Nexon uses a cost effective 6-speed automated manual transmission.

With their diesel engines, the Venue actually has the least powerful engine of the lot. It has similar power to the Brezza’s petrol engine and saves itself from the last position by producing 20Nm more torque than the Brezza’s engine. The XUV300 has the highest power and torque figures while the Nexon comes second followed by the Ford Ecosport in third position by quite a margin. However, Maruti will introduce the new 1.5L DDiS 225 diesel engine in the Brezza very soon. That engine produces 95 hp and 225 Nm of torque which will then relegate the Hyundai’s diesel engine to the last spot. 

All the SUVs come with either a 5-speed or 6-speed gearbox mated to the diesel engines. The Tata Nexona and the Vitara Brezza have the advantage of being offered with AMT gearboxes along with their manual gearboxes.

The Hyundai Venue has been priced right in the middle of the competition. It starts of at Rs. 6.5 lakhs, just a tad higher than the Tata Nexon which has the cheapest starting price here but significantly lower than the Brezza. At the top end, it is quite cheaper than the Ford Ecosport and Mahindra XUV300 top trims and will certainly be able to attract those buyers as well.

In the end, the Hyundai Venue is an extremely value for money offering and Hyundai has absolutely nailed it with the features and looks. How it drives is another question and that would really determine the Venue’s place in the market but as of now, it sure seems to do well. Watch out for our comprehensive review of the Hyundai Venue which is coming very soon.
