Orange beast is now more agile than before, KTM 390 Duke | Price, Mileage, Features, Power | HighRPM

By
Duke 390 The 3rd generation of the KTM 390 Duke is literally shaking the market with its sharp design which is now more edgy than before, making this bike more attractive and mean-looking at the same time. Regarding performance, the KTM 390 Duke always shocked the ride with its flying ability and instant power delivery. This 2024 KTM 390 Duke has reduced some orange and weight too, thanks to that, along with the sporty design it is looking pretty elegant as well. More Sharp edges have been introduced this time and they are doing their job to give it a monster kinda feel.  Being a naked street fighter it's very agile like before and even more so thanks to the reduced wheelbase which added more maneuverability to this aggressive bike.  KTM 390 Duke Price The KTM 390 Duke is available only in a single variant, costing you around 3.10 lakh ex-showroom. There are two colour schemes that you can opt for Atlantic Blue and the other one is Electronic Orange. the Electronic Orange fuel tan

Kia Seltos or MG Astor, which one is your ideal car? | HighRPM

By

 

Confusion while buying a car is a nightmare in itself, too much features, too much things to keep in mind, too much this, that and all. But when you get a proper compression between cars you have selected it feels like a chilled lemonade in hot summer. 

So, to help you a bit this a comparison between two hot red velvet cakes of the market right now the Kia Seltos and the MG Astor, both the cars have their own separate fan base and this is because of their charming personalities and some cool things about them. 

These are not the top end variants of the cars you are seeing in the photos, these are mid-range variants, these variants offers you almost all the features and amenities they have, so let's ignite the engines..........


Price 

  • MG Astor- 9.78 lakh - 17.38 lakh 
  • Kia Seltos- 9.95 lakh - 18.10 lakh 
These are the ex-showroom prices.
The variants available in this post cost around,

  • MG Astor- Sharp 1.5 Manual- 13.98 lakh 
  • Kia Seltos- HTX 1.5 Manual- 13.75 lakh 
These are also ex-showroom prices. 

If you see towards Seltos it is slightly expensive than the Astor but the number of variants Kia is offering is too much in compression of MG which makes price almost flexible for the you. 


Engine 

MG Astor- Astor is available in 1.3L and 1.5L petrol engine. 

1.5L- 1498cc 4 inline cylinder DOHC VTi-TECH 1.5L engine.

Power- 108bhp at 6000rpm
Torque- 144Nm at 4400rpm

Transmission- 5 speed manual and 6 speed CVT.

1.3L- 1349cc 3 inline cylinder DOHC 220Turbo 1.3L engine 

Power- 138bhp at 5600rpm
Torque- 220Nm at 3600rpm

Transmission- 6 speed Torque Converter with sport mode no paddle shifters. 

FWD car with BS6 emission norm 


Kia Seltos- This is one is available in 1.5L petrol & diesel and also in 1.4L petrol. 

1.5L diesel- 1493cc 4 inline cylinder DOHC 1.5 CRDi VGT turbocharged diesel engine

Power- 113bhp at 4000rpm
Torque- 250Nm at 1500 rpm 

Transmission- 6 gear manual and Torque Converter automatic.

1.4L petrol- 1353cc 4 inline cylinder DOHC Smartstream G1.4 T-GDZ turbocharged petrol engine

Power- 138bhp at 6000rpm
Torque- 242Nm at 1500rpm

Transmission- 6 gear manual transmission and 7 speed DCT transmission.


1.5L petrol- 1497cc 4 inline cylinder DOHC Smartstream G1.5 petrol engine

Power- 113bhp
Torque- 144Nm at 4500rpm

Transmission- 6 speed manual transmission, clutchless manual and CVT automatic.

Seltos is a FWD vehicle with BS6 emission norm. 


In terms of power and torque both the cars are generating pretty much same amount of power and torque not a big noticable difference. 

The best thing about Seltos is that it is available in diesel as well, now how MG will convince diesel heads out there they know better than me. 


Safety  

MG Astor NCAP test is still pending meanwhile Astor get all the safety features including 6 airbags, ABS, EBD, ESP, brake assist, traction control, hill hold control, hill descent control. 

On the other hand Kia Seltos scored 3 stars for adult safety and 2 stars for child safety. It includes 6 airbags, traction control, ABS, EBD, ESP, hill hold control, brake assist. 

Both the cars are well equipped with safety features but NCAP rating of Astor can reveal things more clearly.


Fuel economy 

MG Astor's mileage is not yet out by the brand but the fuel tank capacity is known.

1.3L- 45 litres 

1.5L- 48 litres


Kia Seltos- Petrol 1.5- Manual- 16.5 km/l 

                    Auto- 16.8 km/l

Petrol 1.4- Manual- 16.1 km/l

                   Auto- 16.5 km/l 

Diesel- Manual- 21 km/l 

             Auto- 18 km/l

Fuel tank capacity- 50 litres


Seltos diesel manual gives you the best mileage and tank is also bigger than Astor. 


Dimensions 

MG Astor- Length- 4.323m

                   Width- 1.809m

                   Height- 1.650m

                   Wheelbase- 2.505m

Kia Seltos-Length- 4.315m

                   Width- 1.800m

                   Height- 1.626m

                   Wheelbase- 2.610m

Almost same dimensions but Seltos wheelbase is longer than Astor and Astor is bit lengthy than Seltos.


Lights 

MG Astor- Headlamps- LED 

                   Tail lights- LED 

                   Fog lamps- Halogen 

                   DRLs- LED 


Kia Seltos- Headlamps- LED 

                    Tail lights- LED 

                    Fog lamps- LED 

                    DRLs- LED 

                    Ambient lights- Available 


Seltos get ambient lights and its fog lamps are also LED and the DRLs of Seltos looking phenomenal, Astor have kinda normal DRL design. 


Exterior 

Seriously speaking I love the looks of Astor more than Seltos, Astor is looking very sporty and on the other hand Kia Seltos is also an handsome looking SUV but I'll choose Astor. 


Interior 

I have experienced both the cars and I felt that Astor is slightly more spacious than Seltos and seats of Astor are more comfortable to me than Seltos and one more important thing MG offer you is soft touch material on dashboard and Kia won't. I really like the quality of Astor. And that panaromic sunroof in Astor makes cabin more refreshing. But Seltos is giving you sun blinds for rear seats which is a nice touch. 

Astor


Seltos

Conclusion 

In my opinion MG Astor is providing too many things, looks are great, interior is amazing, powerful 1.3L petrol engine and it is also feature loaded with lots of safety functions. One thing which make Astor low is no diesel engine which Kia Seltos is offering you and there lots of diesel guy.

Does Aprilia RS 457 has that Aprilia thing? | Price, Features, Power, Engine | HighRPM

By
The smell of adrenaline is soothing to those who know how to push their limits, who know how to lick the track, who know how to scare their rivals, who know how to go fast while standing with the fasters, and to those who are coming out from Aprilia's factory where their blood has to experience the addition of aggressiveness.  Aprilia has launched the all-new Aprilia RS457. Even though this one has a small engine unlike Aprilia, it has that same level of craziness, zest, and quality as Aprilia.  There is one more fact about this bike which is a proud moment for all Indians because this Aprilia is completely built in India. The bike has charming looks as you expect from Aprilia, and along with looks the quality and the fit finish of this bike are just top-notch. This bike is standing against the BMW G 310RR , KTM RC 390 , newly launched Yamaha R3, TVS Apache 310RR, and none other than the Kawasaki Ninja 300 and Ninja 400 .  The price of Aprilia RS 457 So the bike is only availabl

Which one you should buy, the Kawasaki Ninja 400 or the Aprilia RS 457? | HighRPM

By
Recently, in December 2023, Aprilia launched its all-new Aprilia RS 457 , the first made-in-India Italian bike. The Aprilia is a brand which is known for its powerful, big, and track-centric machines. This RS 457 has less power than its other sibling but can shake the segment with its amazing power-to-weight ratio and Aprilia's fit finish. This Aprilia has some rivals in the market but in my opinion, the most strong one is from a family of monsters like Aprilia RS 457. This rival has been present in the industry for years and has won many hearts too, I'm talking about the Kawasaki Ninja 400 .   These two bikes are superb at their job and this thing leads to confusion. In terms of looks personally, to me Aprilia is looking more dashing than Ninja, now it doesn't mean that Ninja is not a handsome bike there is no doubt but for me, Aprilia is a bit more sexier. The topic to discuss is definitely not looks, it's about power, price, and other things, so, drop your gears and

By
Honda has launched the NX500 their new adventure tourer, the NX500 has everything necessary for mile-munching and adventure trips. The Honda NX500 is standing against many adventure tourers and among them, the biggest rival in my opinion is the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.  The new RE Himalayan 450 is loaded with features and power too, and the price of the new Himalayan 450 is very attractive as well. So, it's going to be very interesting to see which of these two bikes which one succeeds in grabbing the market, and which one you should choose. Engine Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Engine - liquid-cooled single-cylinder DOHC 452cc engine with 84mm of bore and 81.5mm of stroke Power -  40bhp of power at 8000rpm Torque - 40Nm of torque at 5500rpm Honda NX500 Engine - liquid-cooled DOHC parallel twin 471cc engine which has 67mm of bore, 66.8mm of stroke, and a compression ratio of 10.7:1 Power -  46.8bhp of power  at 8600rpm  Torque -  43Nm of torque   at 6500rpm.  There is not a ma

Motorcycles are full of emotions, if you don't believe me then ask the same to an enthusiast, he or she will tell you what bikes actually are. Long bike trips have another kind of freedom; it could be the best way to relax and calm you in today's stressful life. BMW is the brand whose two-wheeler history is just splendid and its present need no intro. BMW has many babies for different people of different tastes and if you are seeking extreme comfort on 2 wheels then BMW K 1600 is that babe that will satisfy you in every possible way. In simple words if I have to introduce the K 1600 I would say that it is, the Rolls Royce of the motorcycle world. This BMW looks mesmerizing thanks to its colossal size and attractive design making it a brutal head-turner.  This luxurious machine has style, design, and road presence as well but on top of all these things it got a freaking inline 6-cylinder engine that gives you mind-blowing power and torque at every moment, it also gives you exce
