New Maruthi Suzuki Astar Spied

We got some spy pics of the next generation Maruthi Suzuki A star. Internationally known as Suzuki Alto the Astar was one of the staple cars of Suzuki. But in India we are forced to say that A-star was a flop. Its currently selling 500 -800 units per month while Hyundai i10 sells 8000 units per month.



So Maruthi will launch the face-lifted Astar in India. The major problem of the face-lifted Astar was cabin and boot space. But the spy images suggests that the car will be more larger than the current car. It is clearly visible that the length and height has been increased. We expect the length to be 3650 mm(with 150 mm increase), the height to be 1550 mm and wheelbase to be 2360 mm to offer more space.


Suzuki will also increase boot space and may also increase the power on the new engine. No other specs have been revealed about the new Astar. This is just the early stage prototype so nothing more is visible  to us.

According to the spy images the Astar will get some exterior tweaks as well. The tail-lamps and headlamps are new as it suggests. The interior plastics and features will be upgraded as well.

We expect the car to get a more powerful petrol engine putting it in sub B class segment. The new Astar will be codenamed YL




Maruthi will launch the face-lifted Astar on early 2014.

Volkswagen New polo and Vento with new features and a price hike too.


We have all seen the TV add of Volkswagens new Polo and Vento. The updated cars get some new features as well as a price hike. Both cars will be be more pricier by 2.27 % from 28 th January 2013 onwards.

But the new features justifies the price hike. Volkswagen group has always been a brand with best features and good value for money.

The Following features are added on both cars
2 DIN RCD 320 Music system
Blue-tooth connectivity
USB , AUX in and SD card reading capability
Climatronic Air Conditioner

So these features explains the price hike. These top class features wont bother you about the price hike. Polo and Vento are Volkswagens top cats due to the fact of update at constant intervals

Tata Indica D90 Review Lets take it for a quick spin


-->
Tata is loved by Indians for practicality and shear amount of space. Now Tata has came up with an unexpected twist in its tactics. Tata has launched what we could say a sports hatchback. The Indica Vista D90 with Raw 90 HP of power which is as same as Maruthi SX4 and Tata Manza. Tata has been lacking a premium hatchback and now that problem is solved. But the real question is whether the 90 HP of power is just on paper only or true? Can it beat the swift in terms of sportiness.

There i bot much changes in the exteriors of D90

Chervolet Beat Facelift when !From funkiness to robust.

Chevrolet is all set up to launch their new face lifted beat. internationally known as Chevrolet spark the beat was launched in India back in 2010. It was loved for its funky yet pleasant styling. The midlife face lift of beat is expected soon at February. Chevrolet has also confirmed the launch of sail sedan and enjoy MPV at February too.

The new beat gets a revised exteriors. The headlamps are given a petal shape to improve visibility during night. The fog lamp holder also gets a petal shape surrounded by chrome wrapping where the sharp round dragonov fog lamps sit.
The new beat also gets an open jar like grille with Chevy logo on the center separating the jar and the lid(excellent smilies huh). Overall at front the funkiness has been reduced and the beat looks more sleek funky now.

The side mirrors are more larger for a more clear view o the rear. At the rear the beat gets a new cluster of LEDs. The spoiler is also new and the rear bumper is slightly tweaked too. The rear looks more modern and less awkward as the tail lamps have been given more composite look.
 

On the interiors beat gets a new leather chunky steering wheel which offers plenty of grip. The beat is a spacious car with supportive seats and headroom. but the legroom in the rear is a bit tight.



We expect the engine and mechanicals to be left unaltered. However we are not sure about it. The beat gets the same smart-tech 1.2 l petrol engine and the same smart-tech 1.0 l diesel engine. The petrol develops 79 HP of power and 110 Nm of torque while the diesel produces 58 HP f power and160 Nm of torque. The beat will retain the massive fuel efficiency of 25.44(diesel)and 18.6(petrol).








The new Chevrolet beat will get few new body colors as well.

Audi Q5 2014 review Luxury and Sportiness combined

Audi Q5 is a model we often forget behind the line of the smaller Q3 and bigger Q7. Q5 has been launched in Indian at 2009. The Q5 is more cheaper and affordable than the gigantic Q7, it has always been the needy one in the Audi’s Q series SUVs. So Audi has given it a minor but substantial face lift to make it a successful seller.

Nissan going to launch a more cheaper varient of Micra

Nissan India is desperate. They are not getting any sales at all. Nissan Micra is priced on the upper hills of premium hatchbacks segment. Nissan launched the Micra back in 2010 but it did not make a massive impact due to the steep price.

Nissan will launch the low cost Micra on march
Nissan low-cost Micra with covered tail lamps
The low cost Micra was spied testing in Chennai a few days back. The spied one had covered tail lamps which suggests a new tail lamp cluster for the low cost Micra. Nissan may make some minor changes to the front as well to distinguish low cost Micra from the rest.

Nissan is planning a more cheaper version of the Micra which will compete against Hyundai i10 and Suzuki Ritz. The low cost Micra is codenamed GO2A will be RS 70000 less than the current base variants which are priced 4.23 lakhs( petrol) and 5.98 lakhs(diesel). Nissan will launch the new Micra in March 2013. So the low cost Micra will start with a base price of 3.50 lakhs for the petrol and 5.20 lakhs for the diesel.

To cut the cost Nissan will remove some features which are available n the current Micra. The exteriors will be the same. But there will be a massive change in interiors.

The new low cost Micrawill get the following features only
  • Power steering
  • Power windows front
  • Basic Driver information display
  • Body colored bumpers and door handles.
  • 13inch steel wheels
  • fixed headrests
  • Immobilizer
  • Manual AC
Nissan is offering discounts of RS 60000 on the petrol Micra to increase sales. Currently Micra is selling a decent 1500 units per month . This will increase with the arrival of the budget Micra.

Maruthi Suzuki Hybrid car project

I have for you surprising news. Could you even dream of Maruthi Suzuki developing something new in Indian market? You don't have to Maruthi has confirmed that they are planning to develop an electric car for India.

maruthi is planning hybrid
Hybrid Maruthi Swift Concept
Maruthi will develop a hybrid which can run on petrol and electricity as well. The car is made with the help of engineers from Suzuki.

Maruthi said that the project has just began and they have not decided specs and platform about their hybrid car.The technology they will use for he hybrid cars will be unknown. However we can expect the hybrid car on Indian roads by 2016 or lesser.

Indian costumers did not have a good opinion about electric cars. The sales of Reva vehicles shows that. Maruthi knows that Indian is a path starved country were electric vehicles are ignored. Diesel prices are also being hiked in India like petrol.Government has given the companies the right to increase diesel prices according to their wish. So we can expect future price hikes as well.

So there is large potential for electric and hybrid cars in the future. Maruthi Suzuki knows that. The major challenge that Maruthi face in this project is to keep the price tag under 10 lakhs. That is a high mountain to climb.

So what is your reaction towards Maruthi's hybrid project. Share those valuable views with us on the comments

New Audi Q7 spyshots Plaza

We have got a recent spy shot of an Audi Q7 test driving with hacked body shell. The spied car was functioning under neath the current Q7 s hacked body shell.The 2014 Audi Q7 will be displayed at Frankfurt Motor Show.
Audi 2014 Q7 spied testing

The new Q7 is the first big SUV  of Volkswagen to use the MLB (Modular Longitudinal Matrix) platform.This Q7 project is ultra important to Volkswagen. The future Volkswagen Tourang and Porsche Cayenne will be based on this same platform.This platform is ultra flexible and can be put into any size of vehicle with any engine. The engine transmission and chassis is common on all MLB platforms but rest are variables.

This new platform helps Q7 to shed about 400 kg of cock weight. Carbon fiber and aluminum is extensively used on the chassis to reduce weight. Weight loss will improve Q7s braking fuel economy and acceleration.


The current Q7 selling on  India will also be updated as well. Currently Audi is producing 1000 Q7 per year in their factory in Aurangabad. The new Q7 will also be produced here as well.

The next gen Sonata will arrive at 2014. It will have a stop start feature and a new CVT gearbox.These two features will help the Sonata attain more mileage. The new Sonata will be launched in USA first and then in India. Hyundai Sonata has not been very successful in Indian market.

We can expect Hyundai to solve all those issue in the new Sonata. Other wise there is no use.

You will get a light roof on top of the roadster. The carbon fiber roof just weights 6 kg. But it is stronger than the titanium rod.The roof can be manually detached and stored in the front compartment.The engine roof also has been tweaked for more control on the car.
Lambo Aventador Roadster in Metallic blue color softtop
Aventador Roadster without Roof


The hard top had a more weighty roof and it was difficult to remove. The top speed of the hard top was just 160 km/h with the roof on.

Avantador Roadster will have the same 6.2 l V12 which produces 700 HP of power and 539 NM of torque.The car will have a top speed of 350 km/h without the roof and it reaches 100km from a stop in three seconds.Awesome isn,t it.

A wind deflector and powered rear windshield is added to the roadster to aid better aerodynamics. It can be detached if you think you have lost your style. The latter control controls he engine noise and airflow to provide a more calmer and quieter ride.

The car get gloss black paint at the roof and pillars while the rest of the car get one of the body colors. new colors added are 'Metallic Blue' and 'Azzuro Thetis' which has variable color tone with the light's angle.

All in all the Lambo Aventador Roadster is incredible to say. You must be impatient to buy one and step on the gas and go. What makes Lambo more agile and rigid than other sports car? Your comments please on he comment box.

But the price is not that incredible. 4.77 crore is the ex showroom price. 20 lakhs more than that of the coupe. So it is only affordable to Mukesh Ambani.

We also got the news that Lamborghini is planning an Indian version of the Gallardo . They will produce only six Indiano Gallardos. They will be right hand driven and will get Indian flag paint jobs as well.

2013 is going to be the end of Gallardo introduced in 2003. Lambo will launch their next car which replaces the Gallerdo soon. May be Lambo will showcase their new car at Frankfurt Motor Show.

Tata motors is always in the spy news nowadays. Now we got spy shots of a Tata van  test driving in Pune as well as seen it parked in Pune. The car look identical to the current Renault Traffic.

We are not sure about the launch date of this car. We can expect it on India at late 2013 on early 2014.We expect the Winger to be powered by the 2.2 l DICOR motor which is powering Tata Safari. But we are not sure of that yet. The Winger will be in the Urban Utility Van segment. It is going to have 4-5 rows of seats so it can carry people or luggage through the city.

The new winger doesn't look like a square box van .it is more fluidic with strong lines flowing through the body.It has round headlamps a Tata grille and fog lamps which make it look like a car. But on the side it i more like a half car half van.The rear part of the van look like it is oddly pasted to the front from somewhere else.But  Tata named it as a van not an MPV.

The design will be practical for it can occupy 9 to 11 adults comfortably.


The interiors of the van will also get a major upgrade. The dashboard design and consoles will be more like those on the Tata Cars.

Hyundai Genesis Coupe Engine Confusion

Hyundai is in a hypnotic state in choosing the engine option for the 2014 genesis coupe.Hyundai can't choose between the new V8 or the current turbocharged six cylinder engine for the genesis coupe.The problem with the V8 is that it is too large to install on the Genesis Coupe and Hyundai will have two tweak the design very much.
Hyundai large and powerful V8 engine
Please post your opinion in the comments if you have any.

There are plenty of gossips about transmission for Hyundai Genesis Sedan as well.Hyundai is not perfect in manual transmission they are not slick and notchy as you like it to be.So Hyundai will come up with a perfect new age manual on the new Genesis Coupe.

Hyundai said that HCD-14 is not the new genesis coupe.We have said that earlier in our post about HCD -14 concept.It is just a concept with Hyundai new design philosophy.Hyundai said they will reveal a new luxury sedan at 2014  Detroit motor show.

What engine suits the best on new Genesis Coupe? V8 or current engine.

Tata nano diesel test mule spy images and launch date

Tata nano Diesel test mule spotted With proofs.

Tata nano test mule spotted again this month.Two weeks above we showed you spy shots of Tata nano 2013. But no we spotted an upgraded version of 2013 nano.
Tata nano diesel version spyed
Tata nano diesel(see the tweaks on front Bumper)

We suggest this could be the 2014 diesel version of nano. The front nose is more bigger for occupying a bigger engine.We also heard some noise from this engine which was not present on the test mule spotted yesterday.

The bumper design is changed which may be due to the larger diesel engine.Numerous equipments have been fitted on to this test mule as it has a new engine. The engine sound comes from the front of the car.The older nano had engine fitted on the rear.

Tata will launch the nano diesel on late 2013 or early 2014.The diesel nano will be powered by an 800cc 2 cylinder common rail diesel motor.It is expected to give a supreme fuel efficiency of 35km/l which might be the highest fuel efficiency figures for a car worldwide.The diesel nano will be priced under 3 lakhs making it the cheapest diesel car in the world.

Tata nano rear


Meanwhile Tata will launch a CNG kit for nano to boost its current sales.When the diesel variant is launched.It will sell hand in hand with the petrol variant and the CNG variant.

Tata is facing tremendous loss on the nano project.The nano did not create a quake as expected.Tata's plant in Sanand Gujarat is only producing 150000 Nanos annually while i has the maximum capacity of 250000.If the diesel variant too fails Tata may have to stop nanoing.
