Got to see and experience all new Duster, many observations cant be delivered quickly so making a detailed Video on it!
Will cover all small details that might not be covered in other videos and my opinions on it.
The manufacturer looked excited which is always good for competition. The car has its share of pros and cons but Great to see this badge getting updated.

I think Magna was second from base variant and it had rear defogger wiper back then. Most cars don't offer it in the middle to second top variant now! 🤷🏻♂️
The first step of safety is situational awareness which means there should be no blind spots around your car! Hatch/crossover shape attracts more dust/mud on rear windshield!
So
👍🏻All the mirrors should be adjusted to driver's vision
👍🏻windows clean enough to see all 4 sides especially rear
👍🏻 Never block your rear visibility by putting stuff upto roof
👍🏻 Know your surroundings first, before taking turn or switching lanes.
Bigger the car, bigger the weapon you have for small cars, pedestrians and bikers so obviously bigger the responsibility!

Kushaq Facelift Launch Observations
GOOD
🔥 Rain sensing & rear wiper, defogger, auto dimming IRVM as standard. That's how you do it!
🔥 Idk if adding Pano sunroof is good or not but a dedicated button for shade opening is great! Chotu sunroof is also standard so keeping every type of customer happy
🔥 International spec Instrument cluster finally provided
🔥 8 speed TC with 1L which means better highway efficiency.
🔥 AC compressor is hopefully bigger as pano sunroof adds to heat in cabin. Front ventilated seats are still noisy
🔥 Rear massage function added when you're returning from a tiring day at office
🔥 Rear disc brakes in 1.5tsi variants and a Monte Carlo top variant from the start. With burgundy interiors and different styling package
🔥 Cool lighting setup front and rear, some like broken LEDs some don't. I do!
Can be better things
🥲 Rear seat recline is still straight and non adjustable. Not ideal for long drives. Enjoy massage for short trips 🤷🏻♂️
🥲 Still that chotu rear camera without adaptive guidelines, rumours were present of 360 degree setup, the screen supports but still not present.
🥲 Still a 4 seater, obviously can't change the structure but the centre rear seat could be flattened from the bottom and extended sideways
🥲No rear sunshades? Easier than accommodating massager. Almost everyone else has this
🥲 By adding ADAS, 360 cam, rear shades etc it should be differentiated from Kylaq. What do you think?
Thoughts? Comment down below

Tata Harrier and Safari 1.5 Hyperion Prices are out but Confusion starts now!
Looks like they waited for 7XO prices and Bang, here they are undercutting them!
Some doubts though-
⭐ Will base variants of both readily available for deliveries?
⭐ One has more performance, other more average! What to choose?
⭐ I still don't understand why not provide Automatics in base variants. They start very high
⭐ 7XO has triple screens in base variant but Safari smart has to be modified more
⭐ will these Harrier price affect Sierra sales as Remember, Sierra Hyperion AT starts from 18lakhs , here you get 4 variants of Manual Harrier below it 😮 One AT variant 50k less
Your thoughts?

A good start of this new year 2026, signifies the power of competition!
✌🏼11Lakhs for base Petrol NA Manual
✌🏼12.6Lakhs for Diesel Manual
✌🏼12.8 lakhs for 160ps Turbo IMT
✌🏼13.39lakhs for 1.5 IVT
with most necessary features like cruise control, 6 speaker 10.25inch music system with rear camera and wireless connectivity
Even with a change in platform(that too global), suspension updates and bigger dimensions!
✌🏼 Great calculated move by Kia as they have proven engines on their side compared to Sierra which has bulk

SAD NEWS! 🥲
Seltos Hybrid and Even other Hybrids like Fronx/Duster etc are pushed to 2026 end or 27 due to unavailability of localisation!
Kia said they are focussing on heavy localisation of parts for hybrid based on 1.5LNA engine.
A decent news is Kia can launch hybrid Sorrento sooner than Seltos because that will have imported hybrid engine (1.6 turbo hybrid)
Let me know your thoughts

I10 Nios Africa Spec (made in India) got 0 stars in GNCAP!
As it gets 2 airbags and esc isn’t standard there hence even lower points but Hyundai needs to step up in chassis integrity as a basic Alto from MS has a stable shell, 2 more stars and especially A pillar is in better shape than the bent one here!
People know this and this is showing in sales as well
A relative told me his Nios has cruise control but his 2024 Baleno Zeta doesnt so he wants to take Nios on highways. I told him, although its great city car but please don’t 🤷🏻♂️
