The heart symbol on the traffic lights in Bangalore were a Marketing initiative by Manipal Hospitals. and in Chennai, by the government bodies to make the waiting around a little bit less frustrating.
Yes, I was about to type this here but saw your comment. I haven't observed this recently in Bangalore, but yes about a year back I remember seeing the heart shaped red signal at certain key junctions.
In Chennai it's not for that, on August 26th last year, chennai recorded 0 accidents, and to celebrate that and to spread awareness about road safety and initiative was taken by launching a campaign where all over chennai there were signs of just number 0 on billboards to educate all about it.Some traffic signals have been restored, some haven't been. Maybe as you said, they decided to keep it just to make waiting a little tensed
1:40 Shumi , I would like to point out that TN is Transplant capital not because accidents are more , Its because TN has a very good POLICY FOR TRANSPLANTS in place , And huge huge network of hospitals all over the state , where a victim organs can be harvested and the. Transported at record speed to yhe RIGHT patient who needs it . The system is so efficient and well placed that all hospitals co-operate and get it done. And who there is a proper system in place to decide which organ goes to which patien on the waitlist So when some one told you, TN is the place get a transpalnt Fast, legally It is not due to more accidents Its because if and when an accident happens The system works so fast and efficently to make sure if the patinet is declared brain dead everything is in place to make a transplant happen within the golden WINDOW .
That just means u haven’t ridden/driven in Kolkata. After having lived in Chennai for 11years, and now relocating to Kolkata, Chennai traffic is still a sweet memory.
@ I mean, there is some discipline to the way people drive in Chennai, giving way to ambulance and stuff, in Kolkata though everyone is an ambulance driver. I know we have pricks driving around everywhere, but I also must admit, if you want to be a skilled driver/rider, Kolkata will definitely get you there. Situational awareness increases tremendously and so does your skill. Maybe Shumi could start another school here. 😅
Kolkata is still better than Hyderabad. In Kolkata have seen helmets and max I have seen on two wheeler is three people and that is rare, wrong way on oneway. At this point I have come to conclusion that Kochi has the best behaved traffic, which is a difficult admission to make
19:10 AC controls in BYD have a simple 3 finger swipe gesture. 3 finger swipe up or down from any screen increases or decreases temperature. Swipe left and right changes the fan speed. It's quite good and works even during carplay or android auto
@@santhoshramgunasekaran7050 im from Hyderabad and I was impressed too seeing the traffic discipline there, especially about the way people accommodate emergency vehicles.
Shumi is ‘intrusive thought’personified 🤣 Poor Karthy , amount of pre-shoot warm up he has to do to hold a straight face and continue with the conversation without getting distracted 🤣
I really appreciate how Shumi started off by saying, 'we evaluate vehicles, not where they come from.' It’s always refreshing to hear, especially today when people sometimes judge a vehicle based on its country of origin or the stereotype of who drives it. At the end of the day, if you truly love a car/motorcycle, I feel those external factors shouldn’t dictate your choice. It’s all about the driving/riding experience, what that car/motorcycle means to you and what it offers, not where it’s from or who’s behind the wheel. Really hope this mindset is carried forward over to all the future episodes of Motorinc. as well. Cheers!!!
26:40 the difference between standard and dynamic is that standard shows you the NEDC or WLTP range(depends on the market) while dynamic shows range according to your driving pattern, basically less range if you drive faster, accelerate harder or even if the AC is on or off.
Couple of weeks ago, I went to see this car with my friend at BYD pune showroom and drove it for about 5 km. It was my first time driving an EV. My observations are: 1. Very easy to drive in traffic due to great visibility all around, light steering that can be rotated with 2 fingers. 2. Cabin insulation is very good. Music system was decent too. 3. Brakes felt solid with good bite, progression and feedback. 4. Suspension is very silent and very comfortable at low speeds. 5. The cabin felt very well built and looks and feels premium. 6. The only con is the backseat. The seatbase felt shot and seat angle felt weird for reasons I couldn't comprehend, in both 6 and 7 seater varient. Sat in the backseat of Atto3 to compare and it's way more comfortable (8 lakhs more OTR price than eMax 7) I'm just 8:30 in the video and I'm very curious to see how much my opinions based on very minimal experience with variety of cars matches with Kartikeya's observations. I'll edit the comments as I keep watching. Thanks! Edit: 22:24 I didn't know it was 200 hp when I drove it. It felt natural and progressive. Woohoo!
33:01 Visibility! I asked the sales guy about sunshade. He mentioned they don't have any official accessory catalogue for this car yet. There could be one in the future. 33:07 Agreed. The driver seat felt natural when I lowered the seat and pushed it a little further.
2:27 I noticed this in my city(Hyderabad) too. Later I got to know that Star hospitals initiated this from Sept 29(world heart day) to promote heart health awareness. Maybe chennai is doing something similar.
So Karthik who drives a lot in Pune (I guess), is saying Chennai traffic is more unpredictable/chaotic (is what I understood)? For context am a tamil guy staying in Pune. Is it worse than Pune? Really? Infrastructure or the traffic? Come on we need this discussion in the next 'This Connect'😂
Btw, that comment is not supposed to be read in a rude tone. More of a surprise due to my perception. I have driven in Chennai only on few occasions. Mostly is a stop and go traffic whereas Pune is chaotic.
Man. I just quit driving in Chennai. A scratch a day keeps the car away. I’m a beginner with a 2019 Honda Civic. Should have gotten a small car. But, hey. I get to ride my motorcycle all the time now; even during the rains. ❤
BYD E6's are a common sight on Hyderabad IT corridor roads, they are mostly used by hotels or companies fot their fleet Also the RED signals recently turned to heart symbols in Hyderabad and they feel good whenever you stop at a signal, fist bump to the people who thought of it

Hello Sir , I'm a final year engineering student & My father is planning to buy me a Hero Glamour Xtec bike , I don't like it. He's just always gives the preference for commuter bikes , as I also requested him to buy me atleast a Pulsar 125 but he won't accept it. He told me to buy the Royal Enfield bike , but I know it will not give a better mileage and it's maintainance cost is also expensive , so please suggest me a good bike that is used for both college & family purpose....🙏
after hearing other names such as seagull and dolphin i think they should call this van as Whale Edit - Is Dzire episode dropping this sunday? Also Shumi what other bikes have u ridden for which motorinc eps are made as N125 ep is already out
In my opinion BYD e-Max 7 is a well thought of, well designed, well engineered and a global car... i agree that it looks MPV but doesn't feel like MPV, it is more smaller car like, captain seats are not as spacious as Innova Crysta...they are like Ertiga etc...
Hey guys! After test riding a few bikes and with experience on my neighbour's 2nd gen 250 duke, I've chosen to get the Honda CB300R as my first bike. It was mainly between the Speed 400 and the CB. I know they're drastically different machines, but I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted in terms of feel. It basically came down to what I would regret not getting, and that was the CB300R. I think I might have gotten bored with the Speed in the long run.
@@abijithla5865 the suspension on the speed was great, I loved it. I just didn't really care for practicality and wanted the most fun for the money. It was still a hard choice though.
It is so beautiful to see a podcast only on a car review, your story telling style, editing is superb. I follow few global channels. So I must say yous is top quality. Keep it up as a passion
So, it's the Bharat Mobility Global Expo this time; 'the entire mobility value chain under one roof.' Which means we'll have SIAM, ACMA, ATMA-all the industry bodies throwing their own shows at the same time. Last year, it was a last-minute thing but since the MoC was pushing for it, it turned out well. This time around, I'm expecting higher participation from manufacturers and an overall better organized show. 46:49
@motorinc I'll be there, all 3 days. Wanted to ask whether the Motorinc team will be there. But knowing Kartik and Shumi, I don't think they'll be as interested. Unless ofcourse, a bunch of manufacturers decide to launch their products during the show. (which is very likely to happen). :)
I like the look of shumi when karthikeya said that the vehicle is called as Emax 7 despite being offered in a 6-seater variant but is being called same. That looked naughty towards BYD 😄
Dear sir...should i buy a used Baleno RS....i am searching for a single owner used RS....and upto which year baleno rs was available in production.kindly give information regarding this matter...
Hello, I need a suggestion from your end. I'm planning to buy a scooter I have options of ICE scooters like Access and Jupiter. They both are costing me around 1.10-1.16 lacks on road. Should I consider electric scooters like Ather Rizta, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Hero Vida? This purchase will be my only vehicle. Please guys drop your opinions as I'll be purchasing a scooter within a week.
Hello @akshatmishra3523, when it comes to EVs, our rule of thumb is getting one that has thrice the range of your daily commute. So, for a 30km commute, look for an EV that has a 100km real range. This will make the experience seamless, and you wouldn't have to charge every day. Beyond that, it depends on which brand and product you like better.
@motorinc Thanks for replying My daily run in less than 10kms. Actually on my week offs I migh go to college which in total is 50km but that will be only 3-4 times a month max. Kindly suggest ICE or Electric as it will be my primary vehicle. As per ICE brands: Suzuki Access and TVS Jupiter 110 For EV: Ather, Bajaj and TVS. Vida(if it's under 1.2kacks)
I have question about battery degradation over long term, does it still manage to go the same range as when you bought it with less power delivery or reduced range with the same power? Same as Apple devices, is there any planned obsolescence for the electric vehicles as well for any of the electrical devices inside. I am worried of more tech being implemented in the car where analog does the same job just as good and is more reliable.
Got the notification for this as i was about to step out into ECR.. The traffic situation as Karthik said is a bit bad. But another major contributor is the Metro rail project construction that covers almost half the city. Loving the content though,
we need a podcast where Shumi and Kartikeya discuss about the Zen Estilo in great detail as a member of the coveted Zen Estilo enthusiast club I wish the team at motorinc make it happen!!!!
Tamil Nadu cm said fertility rates are dropping and that is worrisome . SO ,love symbol is first step to promote India' s favourite sport ( in shumi ' s words ) . This also helps to do suspension test in stationary conditions .
At times, I really wonder how you guys are able to manage so much time and present stuff so effortlessly...!! 🤯🤯 It could have been a little bit easier for you to just talk out stuff while recording the footage like how people usually do and then maybe do sound edit later.. I mean you actually go on to test vehicles, capture footage/pics as necessary, take written and mental notes, ask questions and then record stuff. Also on the parallel, you put out videos on ThisConnect and then shorter versions like View. So much stuff to take in, process and put it out in the most amicable and easy going way..!! 😍😍 Really Awesome work guys!! Thank you for your efforts ❤❤❤
I was eagerly waiting to hear from you guys about this car. 400 kms or more in real world and 7 seater..! Wow, the EV space is getting exciting (should I thank to China for bringing in the much needed competition? 😊)
New Blade battery and a sync motor instead of normal IPM. Check brochure, gives all details. Also, temp control, any screen swipe up or down with 3 fingers. Blower control, any screen 3 finger side swipes
19:43 With so many features, voice commands are the correct way to do it. You can adjust accordingly fan speed using voice commands without disturbing the driver from the rear seat regardless of whether there are buttons or not.
27:20 What I understood is that in dynamic mode (range), the vehicle computer samples battery SOC more frequently and updates range as such. In standard mode it probably calculates with less frequent sampling. This might be the reason why changing driving modes doesn't immediately change the range. Regarding driving modes, I think it is there to change the throttle response only and nothing much. Maybe some amount of software limitations on motor power output.
I’d love to see how the 12V maintenance (day to day) logic is with the vehicle and also would like to learn about the linearity of the SoC calculation.
How does one decide the reasonable range for EV for one’s usage? I have a daily commute of 15kms. With an occasional ( once every 2 months) drive of 250kms one way. Keeping in mind that the manufacturer recommendation of charging your vehicle once a week and also charging it once a month from 0-100, how do we manage with a car with higher range? I own Nexon EV MR which gives me 210kms real life range. It works perfectly well for city commute. The only thing I feel lacking is charging speed with 25Kw charging speed it takes additional 1 hour for a 10 hour drive. If I only had a 50kw charging speed I don’t really need anything more. The point of charging speed is not mentioned at all in your EV discussions. What is your thinking about that?
I think Range mode is how range will be determined Standard Mode, the range is calculated based only on the remaining battery, while in Dynamic Mode, it takes into account both the battery level and my driving behavior?” Is it??
You forgot to mention about music system...how it sounds...how it feels...then you forgot to mention about - initial offers being given by BYD...Rs. 50,000 off then 7 kw & 3 kw charger free @kartik
Recently I went to Chennai for the first time from Pune via car and even I was wondering about these heart shaped signals. I can totally related with you. And Marutis can look cool. Dzire looks awesome from the front angle I think in that Blue Matt color. Recently, Maruti has one cool car in every segment.. they have caught up with the competition on external looks I feel, internal are way way behind. But GV, Fronx, Dzire, Swift look stylish and amazing. Even Baleno to some extent
@motorinc I was on a solo roadtrip to Kanchipuram, Pondicherry, Tirupati, Belum Caves, Gooty fort, etc. area (from my beloved Vento 1.6 TDI) Chennai was nearby and my office headquarter is there. I thought to impress people and increase my chances of promotion by meeting them face to face 😂 that's the story. I had never been to that office so..
😅 RANGE PROBLEM OUT IS WHAT BYD STANDS OUT FOR ME AND THAT NOTE ON SILENT REFINED MOTOR ... THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊 SHUMI SPOT ON WITH SUMMARY KARTHIKEYA ❤ MOTORINC ❤
Please provide your views on whether this can be considered as a replacement for Innova? Seems with the lack of space in the 2nd row doesn’t seem like it can!
Great work as always👌 Just a point to be noted, earlier e6 had a battery warranty of 8yrs or 500k kms, Whereas eMax7 offers just about 8yrs or 160k kms.
After having the closing comments my suggestion for you to make clear whether to - avoid it, consider it, shortlist it or to buy it. @Carwow does this. This makes viewers make better choice. Btw great video👍
Thanks for the feedback @shriganeshkamath9940, we haven't tested it thoroughly to come up with a conclusion just yet. Once we do, we'll make a review of it.
Indian car brands should learn from Chinese car makers on how to give great price to value product instead increasing the prices for every six months while dropping the features silently
Does it have extenders for the front row seats for better thigh support? Couldn’t make out from the pictures. If yes, how was your experience with them?
Hey Karthik. Good morning. What are the sporty car options in the sub 20-25lakh price range or below? Are VW and Škoda twins sporty? Is Creta N line sporty?(sporty in the sense that the chassis and everything speaks to you with feedback of what’s going on, not just about the speed as you mentioned in CURVVICE video✌🏽)
Hey DV! That’s a yum question. Creta N Line is a top pick. Then VW Virtus - it’s beautiful to drive. But, its power train (turbo+DCT) doesn’t feel as classy now. Drive both. Let us know what you think. 👍🏽
Hi @Motorinc Team, Can Shumi and Kartikeya Please do an episode on how the driving licenses are handed out in India, I am absolutely certain it has the potential that It can make our roads more safe and sane...👍
I am using BYD E6.. I travel daily 350Kms on Highway from Hyderabad to Adilabad.. it gives me 40Kms for every 10%.. on speeds touching 140kph.. its much convenient and comfortable.
Atto 3 hands down is way better than windsor, but if you are taller than 6'2", you won't be able to sit in the back seat comfortably. Windsor is spacious but has a concerning 15 inch janky screen through which a lot of fundamental features are controlled.
Power meter can be used like tachometer of ICE vehicles. I find it very useful because that reading tells how good or bad you are driving to impact the range. It just need getting used to appreciate it
So the context about the red lights in and around Chennai. It’s a campaign by the GCTP (traffic police in Chennai) called “Zero Is Good”. An awareness campaign aimed at drivers around zero accidents, zero incidents and zero lives lost. Been happening since last August. That’s why the heart signals all across the city.
I am currently driving a vw virtus GT 2024 . My average annual run is around 16000 km.slow speed rides are bumby as opposedto earlier gen vags. Otherwise butter and peppy.considering to buyan ev below 30 lakhs. Pls advice
Saw an eMax 7 recently in Bangalore (a diplomat / ambassador car). Didn't even know if it is on sale, or even existed. Thought e6 got a facelift or something. It does look quite a lot better in real life than in the videos. In terms of dimensions, it looked like a slightly beefed up in length version of an XL6.
@motorinc White! (It looked light grey to me). It was entirely covered in dust and I saw it moving under 1 pm bright sunlight, so I assume that dust + reflection + speed gave it a greyish tint.
The heart-shaped symbol serves as a gentle reminder to individuals to prioritize their well-being by stepping down from their vehicles, whether it be a car or a bike, and engaging in a brief jogging session. This simple act, synchronized with the traffic signal, encourages heart health and promotes a healthier lifestyle. 😂😂😂😂😂
So first impression on looking at desire spy shots were like “Amaze is that you?” Anyway, just a suggestion, how we discuss in detail about second row seats and passenger seats, it would be very helpful to discuss the pillion seat and confort and whats better whats not on a 2 wheeler first ep. These days even manufacturers are ignoring pillion comfort as such, other than obviously scooters. Would be an interesting additional 2-3 minute part in a 2 wheeler first. Thanks guys!
Few weeks back me and my roommate were stuck in Chennai traffic and had a full on banter about how the red light as a heart is more irritating than a plain red light. Should’ve had green hearts instead lol.
EVs are like a rich person's second car than a normal person's first car to keep their running costs down. That should change. Hopefully in the future.
Maruti has started to surprise lately. Dzire does look cool and I think even grand vitara also looks cool. And the looks are not the surprising factor about new dzire
How did I not get a notification for this? Just happened to come to the channel to watch something else and stumbled upon the new upload by accident! 🧐
RUclips can be slow to send notifications some times @abhisheknawale, especially if you're already in the app watching something else. We're glad that you're here! 😊
Just came here after watching an ad by a tyre manufacturer. I am going to call this The Motor Inc. phenomenon from now on. Hiring good looking influencers regurgitating wikipedia scripts won't work from now on. People are evolving and so are their expectations on understanding the products. Terms like superior grip, longer life etc doesn't make any sense. The manufacturers and their ads will need to back these claims with real information.
Thanks for the feedback @lotusveedu, but it's primarily a discussion between them that we're all invited to so it's easier facing the person for the most part, right? 😅

I would like to point out that TN is Transplant capital not because accidents are more ,
Its because TN has a very good POLICY FOR TRANSPLANTS in place ,
And huge huge network of hospitals all over the state , where a victim organs can be harvested and the. Transported at record speed to yhe RIGHT patient who needs it .
The system is so efficient and well placed that all hospitals co-operate and get it done.
And who there is a proper system in place to decide which organ goes to which patien on the waitlist
So when some one told you, TN is the place get a transpalnt Fast, legally
It is not due to more accidents
Its because if and when an accident happens
The system works so fast and efficently to make sure if the patinet is declared brain dead everything is in place to make a transplant happen within the golden WINDOW .

He told me to buy the Royal Enfield bike , but I know it will not give a better mileage and it's maintainance cost is also expensive , so please suggest me a good bike that is used for both college & family purpose....🙏
Heyy Shumi sir should I consider buying a GT 650 now or should I wait ?
after hearing other names such as seagull and dolphin
i think they should call this van as Whale
Edit - Is Dzire episode dropping this sunday?
Also Shumi what other bikes have u ridden for which motorinc eps are made as N125 ep is already out
Prof. Shumi's summary sets a new benchmark, outperforming all current LLMs.
He might take offence at being compared to an LLM @adithyakashyap4449 😆
In my opinion BYD e-Max 7 is a well thought of, well designed, well engineered and a global car...
i agree that it looks MPV but doesn't feel like MPV, it is more smaller car like, captain seats are not as spacious as Innova Crysta...they are like Ertiga etc...
Hey guys! After test riding a few bikes and with experience on my neighbour's 2nd gen 250 duke, I've chosen to get the Honda CB300R as my first bike.
It was mainly between the Speed 400 and the CB. I know they're drastically different machines, but I wasn't sure what exactly I wanted in terms of feel.
It basically came down to what I would regret not getting, and that was the CB300R. I think I might have gotten bored with the Speed in the long run.
Thanks for sharing with us @parthyawale3001! Congratulations, we wish you to have an awesome time with the CB!
Hi bro. I was facing the same conundrum and went ahead with the Speed 400 because of the more comfortable suspension. CB300R is a great option!
@@abijithla5865 the suspension on the speed was great, I loved it. I just didn't really care for practicality and wanted the most fun for the money. It was still a hard choice though.
It is so beautiful to see a podcast only on a car review, your story telling style, editing is superb. I follow few global channels. So I must say yous is top quality. Keep it up as a passion
Thanks for joining us @supriyadevidutta. And for the kind words as well. 😊
So, it's the Bharat Mobility Global Expo this time; 'the entire mobility value chain under one roof.' Which means we'll have SIAM, ACMA, ATMA-all the industry bodies throwing their own shows at the same time.
Last year, it was a last-minute thing but since the MoC was pushing for it, it turned out well. This time around, I'm expecting higher participation from manufacturers and an overall better organized show. 46:49
Heya M! You seem really clued into this. How so? Will you be going?
@motorinc I'll be there, all 3 days.
Wanted to ask whether the Motorinc team will be there. But knowing Kartik and Shumi, I don't think they'll be as interested.
Unless ofcourse, a bunch of manufacturers decide to launch their products during the show. (which is very likely to happen). :)
I like the look of shumi when karthikeya said that the vehicle is called as Emax 7 despite being offered in a 6-seater variant but is being called same. That looked naughty towards BYD 😄
Dear sir...should i buy a used Baleno RS....i am searching for a single owner used RS....and upto which year baleno rs was available in production.kindly give information regarding this matter...
Hello,
I need a suggestion from your end.
I'm planning to buy a scooter
I have options of ICE scooters like Access and Jupiter. They both are costing me around 1.10-1.16 lacks on road.
Should I consider electric scooters like Ather Rizta, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak and Hero Vida?
This purchase will be my only vehicle.
Please guys drop your opinions as I'll be purchasing a scooter within a week.
Hello @akshatmishra3523, when it comes to EVs, our rule of thumb is getting one that has thrice the range of your daily commute. So, for a 30km commute, look for an EV that has a 100km real range. This will make the experience seamless, and you wouldn't have to charge every day. Beyond that, it depends on which brand and product you like better.
@motorinc Thanks for replying
My daily run in less than 10kms. Actually on my week offs I migh go to college which in total is 50km but that will be only 3-4 times a month max.
Kindly suggest ICE or Electric as it will be my primary vehicle.
As per ICE brands: Suzuki Access and TVS Jupiter 110
For EV: Ather, Bajaj and TVS. Vida(if it's under 1.2kacks)
I have question about battery degradation over long term, does it still manage to go the same range as when you bought it with less power delivery or reduced range with the same power? Same as Apple devices, is there any planned obsolescence for the electric vehicles as well for any of the electrical devices inside. I am worried of more tech being implemented in the car where analog does the same job just as good and is more reliable.
Got the notification for this as i was about to step out into ECR.. The traffic situation as Karthik said is a bit bad. But another major contributor is the Metro rail project construction that covers almost half the city. Loving the content though,
Thanks for sharing @vimalpratap353!
we need a podcast where Shumi and Kartikeya discuss about the Zen Estilo in great detail as a member of the coveted Zen Estilo enthusiast club I wish the team at motorinc make it happen!!!!
Enthusiast club for the Estilo? Now we've seen everything! Tell us what made you so passionate about it @atharvaatre3273 😅
Tamil Nadu cm said fertility rates are dropping and that is worrisome . SO ,love symbol is first step to promote India' s favourite sport ( in shumi ' s words ) . This also helps to do suspension test in stationary conditions .
😬🤐
Quite contradictory don't you think...?....when the CM also says to eradicate people belonging to certain religion
At times, I really wonder how you guys are able to manage so much time and present stuff so effortlessly...!! 🤯🤯
It could have been a little bit easier for you to just talk out stuff while recording the footage like how people usually do and then maybe do sound edit later..
I mean you actually go on to test vehicles, capture footage/pics as necessary, take written and mental notes, ask questions and then record stuff. Also on the parallel, you put out videos on ThisConnect and then shorter versions like View. So much stuff to take in, process and put it out in the most amicable and easy going way..!! 😍😍
Really Awesome work guys!! Thank you for your efforts ❤❤❤
Heya AA! Thanks so much for the appreciation, but more importantly for the time and effort take to write in. ❤️
@motorinc This is the least that I could do 🤗😊
I was eagerly waiting to hear from you guys about this car. 400 kms or more in real world and 7 seater..! Wow, the EV space is getting exciting (should I thank to China for bringing in the much needed competition? 😊)
Hopefully by next year XUV700 EV should be available at similar price point
Hey KR! They are definitely driving the pace of development for most countries.
The name reminds me of this scene from "The Dictator" where the waiter says "There's a number in the name?!"
Hahahaha what a genius!
Also - Make it pointy!
@motorinc Pointy is scary 😂
Imagine if BYD and Ford joined hands for India…
What would you like to see from them?
A raptor 😂
@@vivekrameshjoisoh you mean the BYD Shark?
@@motorinc Ford Must Yeng?
New Blade battery and a sync motor instead of normal IPM. Check brochure, gives all details.
Also, temp control, any screen swipe up or down with 3 fingers. Blower control, any screen 3 finger side swipes
19:43 With so many features, voice commands are the correct way to do it. You can adjust accordingly fan speed using voice commands without disturbing the driver from the rear seat regardless of whether there are buttons or not.
Hi A! Will they work from the back seat?
@@motorinc I have no idea. But shouldn't they? Back seat people also have voices. And sound travels faster than a finger 😊.
27:20 What I understood is that in dynamic mode (range), the vehicle computer samples battery SOC more frequently and updates range as such. In standard mode it probably calculates with less frequent sampling. This might be the reason why changing driving modes doesn't immediately change the range.
Regarding driving modes, I think it is there to change the throttle response only and nothing much. Maybe some amount of software limitations on motor power output.
SSS! You work at BYD? 😆
Thanks so much. We couldn’t get this answer from them. 😄
@motorinc 🤣No sir. Pure speculations
I’d love to see how the 12V maintenance (day to day) logic is with the vehicle and also would like to learn about the linearity of the SoC calculation.
Hey SP! How goes? Deep dive for curiosity?
Pls do this live , this will be the best “sit down” ever
I somehow feel BYD is much better innovator than Toyota Suzuki in global level
@@KVSrirangam you are right. Byd r&d has 110k employees and they spend crazy money
How does one decide the reasonable range for EV for one’s usage?
I have a daily commute of 15kms. With an occasional ( once every 2 months) drive of 250kms one way.
Keeping in mind that the manufacturer recommendation of charging your vehicle once a week and also charging it once a month from 0-100, how do we manage with a car with higher range?
I own Nexon EV MR which gives me 210kms real life range. It works perfectly well for city commute. The only thing I feel lacking is charging speed with 25Kw charging speed it takes additional 1 hour for a 10 hour drive. If I only had a 50kw charging speed I don’t really need anything more.
The point of charging speed is not mentioned at all in your EV discussions. What is your thinking about that?
I think Range mode is how range will be determined
Standard Mode, the range is calculated based only on the remaining battery, while in Dynamic Mode, it takes into account both the battery level and my driving behavior?”
Is it??
I had a doubt about seats
Do Leatherette seats without ventilation make u uncomfortable on long drives?
Or are fabric seats better for long drives
Bajaj, TVs, Royal Enfield and Hero should together collaborate with BYD and launch proper EV cars
First things first : Thank you
And now I'll watch the whole video ❤
Let us know what you thought too @VikasKumar-sk6pm! 😊
You forgot to mention about music system...how it sounds...how it feels...then you forgot to mention about - initial offers being given by BYD...Rs. 50,000 off then 7 kw & 3 kw charger free @kartik
Recently I went to Chennai for the first time from Pune via car and even I was wondering about these heart shaped signals. I can totally related with you. And Marutis can look cool. Dzire looks awesome from the front angle I think in that Blue Matt color. Recently, Maruti has one cool car in every segment.. they have caught up with the competition on external looks I feel, internal are way way behind. But GV, Fronx, Dzire, Swift look stylish and amazing. Even Baleno to some extent
Thanks P! How was the drive? And how come you chose to drive down?
@motorinc I was on a solo roadtrip to Kanchipuram, Pondicherry, Tirupati, Belum Caves, Gooty fort, etc. area (from my beloved Vento 1.6 TDI) Chennai was nearby and my office headquarter is there. I thought to impress people and increase my chances of promotion by meeting them face to face 😂 that's the story. I had never been to that office so..
😅 RANGE PROBLEM OUT IS WHAT BYD STANDS OUT FOR ME AND THAT NOTE ON SILENT REFINED MOTOR ...
THANK YOU SO MUCH 😊 SHUMI SPOT ON WITH SUMMARY KARTHIKEYA ❤ MOTORINC ❤
Thanks VV!
Please provide your views on whether this can be considered as a replacement for Innova? Seems with the lack of space in the 2nd row doesn’t seem like it can!
Please watch the last ten minutes. We explain exactly that. 👍🏽
Great work as always👌
Just a point to be noted, earlier e6 had a battery warranty of 8yrs or 500k kms,
Whereas eMax7 offers just about 8yrs or 160k kms.
Thanks for sharing!
While doing a test drive I found the AC strength is below normal, did you feel the same
Our first impressions have raised a concern around this. So, it is possible.
After having the closing comments my suggestion for you to make clear whether to - avoid it, consider it, shortlist it or to buy it. @Carwow does this. This makes viewers make better choice.
Btw great video👍
Thanks for the feedback @shriganeshkamath9940, we haven't tested it thoroughly to come up with a conclusion just yet. Once we do, we'll make a review of it.
Indian car brands should learn from Chinese car makers on how to give great price to value product instead increasing the prices for every six months while dropping the features silently
Does it have extenders for the front row seats for better thigh support? Couldn’t make out from the pictures. If yes, how was your experience with them?
Nope. They don’t.
Hey Karthik. Good morning. What are the sporty car options in the sub 20-25lakh price range or below? Are VW and Škoda twins sporty? Is Creta N line sporty?(sporty in the sense that the chassis and everything speaks to you with feedback of what’s going on, not just about the speed as you mentioned in CURVVICE video✌🏽)
Hey DV! That’s a yum question. Creta N Line is a top pick. Then VW Virtus - it’s beautiful to drive. But, its power train (turbo+DCT) doesn’t feel as classy now. Drive both. Let us know what you think. 👍🏽
@ thanks for the suggestion Karthik. I’m thinking of buying a car in next few months. Sure, will take test drives for both and let you know✌🏽
BYD 15 or 20 yrs back was a battery nanufacturers for phones. No wonder they are experts in electric architecture!
Hi @Motorinc Team, Can Shumi and Kartikeya Please do an episode on how the driving licenses are handed out in India, I am absolutely certain it has the potential that It can make our roads more safe and sane...👍
Thanks for the suggestion @shubhamdeshmukh-nl6fk
I am using BYD E6.. I travel daily 350Kms on Highway from Hyderabad to Adilabad.. it gives me 40Kms for every 10%.. on speeds touching 140kph.. its much convenient and comfortable.
Thanks GSP! Glad to hear that! How long have you had it?
@motorinc Since more then 6 months.
Hi guys… nice review..
Windsor vs atto3 which is better?
Atto is a better car but a bit expensive
Atto 3 hands down is way better than windsor, but if you are taller than 6'2", you won't be able to sit in the back seat comfortably.
Windsor is spacious but has a concerning 15 inch janky screen through which a lot of fundamental features are controlled.
For city running around Windsor is plenty good!
@@motorinc thanks
Mostly it will be a city car but occasional highway drive for 150-250 km range once a month or so
@@lakkadbagga thank you
Kathik should tell the driver to turn air conditioning up, because if the guy was from BYD, it would have been a great feedback for them.
Can I expect something on atto 3 ……cause I’m planning to buy….would definitely like to hear all about it from both of u…..please let me know.thanks
Chennai is transplant capital because of social movements and govt policies.
Social movement?
Starting Day with ur video ❤
Heya @krishanadalvi! Good Morning!
Hey, heart shaped red lights are also present in Hyderabad (in Gachibowli financial district roads) 😂😂 I found it funny too.
Power meter can be used like tachometer of ICE vehicles. I find it very useful because that reading tells how good or bad you are driving to impact the range. It just need getting used to appreciate it
Yup, keep the tacho as low as possible (instantaneous energy consumption)
Ideally 14-15kW at highway speeds should be aimed in this size of car
Great Channel for automobile Lover.✨
Please make a detailed video of Harley x440
So the context about the red lights in and around Chennai. It’s a campaign by the GCTP (traffic police in Chennai) called “Zero Is Good”. An awareness campaign aimed at drivers around zero accidents, zero incidents and zero lives lost. Been happening since last August. That’s why the heart signals all across the city.
Thanks for the info @sammohan444! That's another theory we're hearing today.
Hay Guys, here's why it's a RED heart - "The heart-shaped traffic signal signifies that every life is important"
I am currently driving a vw virtus GT 2024 . My average annual run is around 16000 km.slow speed rides are bumby as opposedto earlier gen vags. Otherwise butter and peppy.considering to buyan ev below 30 lakhs. Pls advice
Wait for BE6e or Creta EV
I am from TN and i agree that navigating through Chennai is quite a hustle. Your patience level should be 9999 if you want to drive there 😂
We're hearing different reports about Chennai traffic here @RAJAVIGNESH! What is happening? 😅
i want byd yangwang pliss, and maybe kartikeya reviews his carrera gt? it never gets old
Marutis can look cooler - Zen
And fair to say fronx also looks cool , am with Kartik on this one 😊
Saw an eMax 7 recently in Bangalore (a diplomat / ambassador car). Didn't even know if it is on sale, or even existed. Thought e6 got a facelift or something. It does look quite a lot better in real life than in the videos. In terms of dimensions, it looked like a slightly beefed up in length version of an XL6.
Thanks for letting us know Vardan! What colour did you see?
@motorinc White! (It looked light grey to me). It was entirely covered in dust and I saw it moving under 1 pm bright sunlight, so I assume that dust + reflection + speed gave it a greyish tint.
Waiting for the Kylaq first impressions. I hope motorinc was invited for the launch.
We are waiting for the launch. No pint doing this without prices and production cars.
Kartik - Chennai traffic is chaotic..
Amhi Puneri laughing in the corner..😂😂
Kartikeya says, Pune is chaotic. Chennai is murderous. 😁
@motorinc
Habibi, come to Hinjewadi..😅🥹
The heart-shaped symbol serves as a gentle reminder to individuals to prioritize their well-being by stepping down from their vehicles, whether it be a car or a bike, and engaging in a brief jogging session. This simple act, synchronized with the traffic signal, encourages heart health and promotes a healthier lifestyle.
😂😂😂😂😂
What! People will park at the signal…
@motorinc 😆
So first impression on looking at desire spy shots were like “Amaze is that you?”
Anyway, just a suggestion, how we discuss in detail about second row seats and passenger seats, it would be very helpful to discuss the pillion seat and confort and whats better whats not on a 2 wheeler first ep. These days even manufacturers are ignoring pillion comfort as such, other than obviously scooters. Would be an interesting additional 2-3 minute part in a 2 wheeler first. Thanks guys!
Dzire* 🥲
Thanks for the suggestion @omcarrides!
Byd seal has a 3 figure swipe up/down and left/right for temperature and fan speed. This should also have that.
Yes, thanks for letting us know @digitallysolvedbyrahul!
Few weeks back me and my roommate were stuck in Chennai traffic and had a full on banter about how the red light as a heart is more irritating than a plain red light. Should’ve had green hearts instead lol.
Ohhh yeah! That makes more sense.
Yes maruti's can look cool - Fronx, Grand vitara and now the dezire. At least from the front the dezire looks cool 😂
Alrighty! One vote in!
@@motorinc thanks 👍 🤣
Wait what just 1 vote 🥲🫠
Good morning @motorinc ☀️☀️
Very good statement by Shumi in the beginning...
#Innovakiller video is here 😅😅
Lol!
EVs are like a rich person's second car than a normal person's first car to keep their running costs down. That should change. Hopefully in the future.
What would help @alexmercer3001? The current challenges are battery tech and charging infrastructure.
Pepper Rasam and some sleep for the cold Karthikeya. Get well soon!
Looks like the Chennai rains had some effect
Thanks AP! Rasam sounds awesome!
Ow i can tell the next Dzire video will be amazing to watch
Mg vs byd........ which has long-term reliability?
Too soon to answer that question for either product @maanooj! We'll need more time to establish that.
Maruti has started to surprise lately. Dzire does look cool and I think even grand vitara also looks cool. And the looks are not the surprising factor about new dzire
How did I not get a notification for this? Just happened to come to the channel to watch something else and stumbled upon the new upload by accident! 🧐
Yes. That’s the same for me too
I got a notification
Got the notification but cannot download for offline viewing…is that a thing with membership videos
Got a notification 4 mins ago. Not sure if that's intentional or a bug.
RUclips can be slow to send notifications some times @abhisheknawale, especially if you're already in the app watching something else. We're glad that you're here! 😊
Just came here after watching an ad by a tyre manufacturer. I am going to call this The Motor Inc. phenomenon from now on. Hiring good looking influencers regurgitating wikipedia scripts won't work from now on. People are evolving and so are their expectations on understanding the products. Terms like superior grip, longer life etc doesn't make any sense. The manufacturers and their ads will need to back these claims with real information.
😄👍🏽
very well said by shumi at start, you get to vote with your money, if you dont want chinese products dont buy them, start with your phones.
👍🏽
Welcome to Chennai ... Now all the traffic red lights are in. Heart shape....

Heart-shape red lights were first introduced in Bengaluru by Manipal Hospital back in 2022 for spreading awareness on heart health.
Thanks for letting us know BB!
Enjoying the car talks .It may be better that the speaker always faces the camera when both r not in the frame. A humble suggestion
Thanks for the feedback @lotusveedu, but it's primarily a discussion between them that we're all invited to so it's easier facing the person for the most part, right? 😅
