MG Teases ADAS Tech in Upcoming Windsor PRO Ahead of India Launch
New Delhi — JSW MG Motor India is gearing up to launch a new variant of its popular electric vehicle, the MG Windsor. Dubbed the Windsor PRO, the upcoming model is set to offer a host of advanced features, with the company teasing Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in a newly released promotional video.
The Windsor PRO will come equipped with 12 major ADAS features, along with three types of alerts — audio, visual, and haptic — to enhance driving safety. Key technologies include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, and Traffic Jam Assist, among others.
Since its debut, the MG Windsor has held the title of India's best-selling electric vehicle, thanks to its unique combination of a sedan's spaciousness and an SUV's practicality. The new PRO version is expected to build on that success with additional tech-focused enhancements, including Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) capabilities, allowing users to power external devices or even charge other EVs.
With the launch expected soon, MG is positioning the Windsor PRO as a premium, feature-rich upgrade aimed at customers seeking safety, innovation, and added utility in their EV experience.

Suzuki Fronx With Level 2 ADAS Rolls Out In Indonesia; Is India Next?
Suzuki has updated the Fronx for the Indonesian market with Level 2 ADAS. The model has rolled out from the Cikarang plant, which is the brand's second facility to manufacture the Fronx apart from India. Currently, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx has reached over 70 countries worldwide, including regions like Africa, Japan, and Latin America. The Suzuki Fronx gets either a 1.5-liter K15B petrol engine or a 1.5-liter K15C mild-hybrid petrol engine available in Indonesia. However, the India-spec Fronx gets a 1.2-litre K-series engine of the brand or a 1.0-litre K-series turbo petrol engine (available as an option). The transmission options include a 5-speed MT and a 5-speed AMT for the naturally aspirated engine, and a 5-speed MT along with a 6-speed AT for the turbo petrol. The Suzuki Fronx has now been updated for the Indonesian market with Level 2 ADAS. It includes safety features like blind spot monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Hill Hold Control, Electronic Stability Program, and much more. However, the Maruti Suzuki Fronx available in India does not get Level 2 ADAS currently, the brand is liklet to bring the update soon. Suzuki Fronx Japan NCAP The Fronx recently went for the Japan NCAP crash test, scoring 84 percent on the assessment. Specifically, it has managed to get an overall 163.75 points out of a total of 193.8 points.

ETAutoTech Summit 2025: Autonomous driving for India, by India - but with global vision, say experts
Bengaluru: India must not just adopt, but lead the development of autonomous vehicle technologies tailored to its unique challenges - technologies that are developed in India, by India, but for the world. This was the recurring sentiment echoed by industry leaders at the ETAutoTech Summit 2025 in Bengaluru. 'Autonomous technologies are the need of the hour for India,' says Dr. K Subramanian , Senior Vice President, Ashok Leyland . Highlighting the complexity and diversity of Indian roads, driving patterns and environments, he emphasises the need for the country to be at the centre stage of development, testing, piloting, and deploying autonomous systems. Dr. Subramanian expresses concern over the current trajectory of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) in India. 'I'm not happy with the way ADAS is panning out in the country,' he says. Instead of aiming for overly futuristic and complex solutions, he suggests focusing on simplicity, both in hardware and software. 'Make the hardware simpler and apply simplicity to the software, which can then be updated over time. As an industry, we must ensure that ADAS doesn't complicate vehicle architecture but rather lays the foundation for simple, efficient autonomous technologies,' he notes. He also urges a relook at how the industry is approaching these technologies, advocating for V2X ( Vehicle-to-Everything ) and V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) integration that enables a robust, communication-led ecosystem. Echoing the sentiment, Debashis Neogi, Managing Director, Renault Nissan Technology and Business Centre India says: 'We cannot just cut-copy-paste global solutions. We need indigenous technologies, developed and tested in India's diverse and dynamic environment.' Neogi stresses on the role of smart road infrastructure in accelerating adoption. 'We need to work closely with the government to unclutter traffic signals and enhance road infrastructure. That will pave the way for V2X and V2V systems to thrive.' Highlighting India's strength in frugal innovation, he adds, 'India has the potential to lead the world in cost-effective, intelligent ADAS and autonomous system development.' Dr. P Rajalakshmi , Cyient Chair Professor and Director of the NMICPS TiHAN Foundation, IIT Hyderabad , says, 'We are confident that autonomous driving will become a reality in India with the right regulations. R&D is already progressing.' Describing autonomous vehicles as cyber-physical systems that operate in a closed-loop without human intervention, she explains, 'The system involves sensors, perception, path planning, and control. The control algorithm is a critical piece in the autonomous tech stack, and we are developing an end-to-end stack validated across various categories of vehicles.'

Skoda Kushaq Facelift Spotted Testing; Here's What's New
Skoda is testing a refreshed version of its compact SUV, the Kushaq, in India. Recently spotted on the road with heavy camouflage, the updated model keeps its familiar shape but features some noticeable changes. These include slight exterior updates, upgraded interior features, and a new automatic transmission, making it a fresh option in a competitive market. Here's what to expect from the updated version. Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Exterior Changes The Kushaq's overall shape remains similar, but the facelift brings some stylish changes. The front bumper now has a redesigned air dam with sharper lines and a more squared-off air dam with an all-black honeycomb mesh grille. The headlamps are slightly reshaped, and the rear features slimmer boomerang-style LED tail lamps connected by a thin LED strip, making the SUV look wider. Other updates include new blacked-out alloy wheels and changes to the bumpers to better match the refreshed front design. Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Interior Skoda is expected to upgrade features without completely redesigning the interior. It is expected to offer an updated trim, new upholstery, and better ambient lighting to enhance the cabin feel. Moreover, it is expected to introduce a Level 2 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), providing useful features like lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic braking, making the Kushaq more competitive with other tech-savvy vehicles. Skoda Kushaq Facelift: Powertrain The Kushaq facelift will likely keep the same mechanical setup with some minor updates. It will still offer two turbocharged petrol engines, a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder TSI engine and a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder TSI EVO engine. The 1.0-litre engine delivers and 175 Nm of torque. It will have a 6-speed manual transmission and a new 8-speed automatic gearbox, expected to improve fuel efficiency. The 1.5-litre engine will be available with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. The Skoda Kushaq facelift is expected to launch in India towards the end of the current year or early 2026.
