Rumours suggest that Mahindra's Tata Punch rival could be called the XUV100.

Mahindra is looking to grab a piece of the compact SUV pie with a new model that will rival the likes of the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter. An early prototype of the upcoming sub-4 meter SUV has now been spotted for the first time.

The heavily camouflaged test mule has an upright front fascia with flared wheel arches and a blacked-out A-pillar. It appears to have a stubby rear section with a raked rear windshield and a roof spoiler. The test vehicle is currently equipped with dummy headlights and taillights.

Rumours suggest that Mahindra's Tata Punch rival could be called the XUV100. Although, that's pure speculation based on a trademark filing. It is expected to fill in the gap left by the KUV100, which was discontinued earlier this year.

Technical details of the new model are scarce, but we can expect the compact SUV to use a 1.2-litre petrol engine paired with a 5-speed gearbox.

The Classic 350 Bobber is expected to be based on the J-platform and is expected to compete with the Jawa Bobber

It seems Royal Enfield is looking to raise the retro quotient of the upcoming Classic 350 Bobber. The latest spy image reveals several details that point towards this.

The Classic 350 Bobber test mule was seen sporting white wall tyres over wire-spoke rims. The bike also had a single seat with raised handlebars, a single-pod tail lamp and a low-slung exhaust.

The Classic 350 Bobber is expected to be based on the J-platform. It could be powered by the familiar 349cc, single-cylinder engine as the Classic 350. This engine develops 20 BHP and 27 Nm and is paired with a 5-speed gearbox.

The test bike was equipped with a conventional suspension setup with a telescopic fork at the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear. The bike also had disc brakes at both ends and is likely to get dual-channel ABS.

Apart from the Scrambler, two other Yezdi models can also be seen in the spy image. It is being said these could be two variants of the Yezdi Roadking. One of them features a windshield, pillion backrest and a chrome exhaust and appears to be more touring-oriented.

The other one misses out on the pillion backrest as well as the windshield. It is fitted with bar-end mirrors and a blacked-out exhaust for a sportier look. Both these bikes have alloy wheels.

All three models are expected to be powered by the same engine. While the official specs are unknown are at the moment, it is being said that the 334cc, single-cylinder engine from the Jawa Perak could be used.
