GM claims a 17km/kg fuel efficiency for the Aveo while running on CNG. With the 12 kg fuel tank in place in the boot, that amounts to almost 200km of range on CNG and around 940km (claimed) combined with the existing 1.4 litre petrol engine. With an operating cost of Rs 1.85 per kilometer, that would roughly work out to savings of Rs 24,500 over 10000km and Rs 73,500 over 30000km. GM claims that works out to 57 percent lower than a similar vehicle running on petrol and 25 percent than running on diesel. Costing less than the normal Aveo 1.4 LS (which goes for Rs 6,46,322) thanks to the low introductory price, the CNG is fantastic value for money at the moment. But even when the prices return to normal eventually, the CNG version is definitely meant to benefit owners with long commutes to recover the extra money spent and to further their savings. Boot space is also compromised to make space for the 12kg CNG cylinder, but with the fitment of the kit coming from the GM factory itself, owners can rest assured of the safety of the setup.”

So, it is the CNG kit of GM which offers the best fuel efficiency. The new version of Chevrolet Aveo will be benefited for the owners. It becomes the biggest competitor for Nissan Micra in India.

Hyundai Verna Transform – Hyundai Introduced Verna Transform in India

2010-06-24T07:15:00.001-07:00

Hyundai Motor India Ltd. introduced its new model Verna Transform sedan. It is an updated version of its current Verna. It is being considered as the cheapest sedan in India.

About the looks and design of Hyundai Verna Transform - www.zigwheels.com writes, “For starters, and probably the sight that you'll notice the most is the dramatic job performed on the front end. Not only does the Verna Transform get a new pair of headlamps - that themselves are far more stylish than the current set, but it also gets a completely new front bumper as well. The headlights now look more in line with Hyundai's scorcher-of-a-car, the Genesis Coupe which is most definitely a huge improvement on the earlier units that the Verna had. But the headlamp change doesn't garner just visual appeal - Hyundai claims that it also provides better illumination. The front bumper gets a curvier theme with creases that seem to converge to a point behind the license plate - an effect that gets accentuated by the new grille that features body-colour slats running its full width just under the Hyundai logo. Then there is also the cascade mesh air dam and the round fog lamps surrounded by black inserts. Completing the visual changes on the front is the sleek row of LED turn indicators on the wing mirrors. The tail features a new lamp design as well as chrome garnish along with a dual tone redesigned bumper. But the highlight of the rear end has to be the trapezoidal chrome finished exhaust tip.”

Further the news portal writes about the diesel and petrol variants of Hyundai Verna Transform, “Interested buyers will still get a choice of a 1.6 litre petrol and a 1.5 litre diesel engine. The petrol engine puts out 103.2PS @ 5500rpm and 146 Nm of torque that peaks at 3000rpm and finds way into the Verna Transform 1.6 VTVT and 1.6 SX VTVT. The diesel unit makes 110PS @ 4000rpm and 236Nm between 1900 and 2750rpm and is available in three variants - 1.5 CRDi VGT, 1.5 SX CRDi VGT & 1.5 SX VGT (AT). While both petrol variants and the first two mentioned diesel variants are mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, the 1.5 SX VGT (AT) is coupled to a 4-speed auto'box.”

Finally, the news portal writes about the price range of Hyundai Verna Transform, “Hyundai has taken a bold step to inject new life into the four year old sedan that still rakes up quite a decent sales figure. One look at the Verna Transform's pricing and you know it's going to keep the cash flowing in. The base petrol Verna Transform remains at Rs 6.55 lakh while the SX VTVT will now go for Rs 7.5 lakh - only Rs 20,000 higher than the older SX. The 1.5 CRDi is now Rs 7.87 lakh and the SX variant on the oil-burner will retail for Rs 8.38 lakh with the manual transmission while the 1.5 SX VGT (AT) is tagged at Rs 9.21 lakh (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).”

Overall, Hyundai has tried to give a new car to its customers. Verna Transform is an affordable and updated version car. The car will create the biggest competition for Honda Civic in Indian market. The company expects to sell 2,000 units a month of the Verna Transform.

In fact, the new E-Class saloon earned rave reviews everywhere and even took home the coveted 2009 ET ZigWheels Luxury Prestige Sedan of the Year award.”

Further the website writes about the looks and conformability, “This year though, Mercedes really had a surprise planned for all auto enthusiasts as just today, the company launched the pristine and even more exciting E-Class coupe in Mumbai. The coupe shares almost 60-percent of the components from the sedan including most of its front fascia, but from the end of the bonnet, it's rather a different sight. The coupe with its frameless doors, no B-pillar and curvaceous roofline coupled with the long hood and short boot has all the classic coupe lines and looks far more sporty and elegant as compared to the slightly boxy sedan. Mercedes-Benz has also thrown in a large panoramic sunroof for that extra bit of pizzazz.”

In the sedan, the 3.5-litre V6 petrol motor puts out 272 PS of power and 355Nm of torque, which should endow the E-Class coupe with some spirited performance.

As for pricing, the E-Class coupe can be yours for Rs. 54.83-lakhs (ex-showroom Mumbai), pegging it about ten big ones more than the saloon. So what do you really get for all that money's worth? Keep logging on to the site regularly as the full road test will be out soon.”

Only two versions of the R-Class will make it to Britain; the rear-drive R300 CDI Blue Efficiency and the all-wheel drive long-wheelbase R350 CDI L 4MATIC.

Both use the same 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine, but in the R350 it develops 262bhp and 457lb ft of torque, whisking the crossover to 62mph in 7.7 seconds. The R300 has to make do with 190bhp, but in return the smaller car should be capable of returning 37mpg against the R350's 33mpg.

Both R-Class variants also share the same seven-speed automatic gearbox, and they each get seven seats as standard. Inside there are new trim options available, including Aspen fabric and soft-touch ARTICO man-made leather. The interior AMG sports package will add sports seats.

Expect prices to start at around £40,000 when the R-Class comes to the UK in September.”

The wide gear coverage enables the 1.2-litre engine to achieve the economy of a 1.0-litre as well as brisk acceleration.”

Finally the website writes about Comfort, function, equipment and Safety, “Globally, equipment levels differ by market, but the new Micra is available with some key technological innovations which are designed to simplify day-to-day life for its owners.

The incorporation of the V-platform is one major factor contributing to the car’s improved impact safety. The car is designed to absorb the forces of a frontal impact, thanks to the sophisticated crumple zones, while maintaining cabin integrity due to its highly reinforced body shell. In Europe, the Nissan Micra will be fitted with ABS, dual front airbags, curtain and side airbags, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and pretensioner seatbelts as standard equipment.”

As per the above mentioned website, “Sales of the new Nissan Micra will start in Thailand in March and European sales will begin in November 2010.”

Image Credit to Zigwheels.com

Recently, the news came in light after a long wait that Porsche Panamera V6 revealed. It was the biggest news because it is the most awaited car in the motor industry. On the release of Porsche Panamera V6, Zigwheels.com writes, “Buoyed by the worldwide success of the Panamera, Porsche is all set to launch the base version of the Panamera, the Panamera and the Panamera 4. Up until now the Panamera has only been available with normally aspirated or turbocharged versions of its V8 engine. Both the Panamera and Panamera 4 models will be available with a brand-new Porsche-designed 3.6-litre V6 featuring Direct Fuel Injection developing maximum output of 300 hp and peak torque of 400 Nm. That's about 111Nm per liter of displacement, while a lot of other engines barely touch 100Nm per liter. Normally you only get 400Nm from well-tuned 4.0 liter engines.

Featuring a 90 degree V-angle, the V6 engine sits snugly beneath the sleek bonnet and, following the Porsche tradition, the Panamera transmits its power to the road via the rear wheels, while the Panamera 4, as its name suggests, comes as standard with active all-wheel drive. The V6 engine will be mated to Porsche's PDK gearbox and will also include Auto Start/Stop aiding fuel consumption figures. As you'd expect with its smaller-engined saloon, Porsche's big noise is about the V6's cleanliness emitting just 218g/k of CO2.

Like the V8 versions, the base versions offer steel suspension as standard with optional variable dampers, adaptive air suspension with additional air volume is also available as an option and provides an even wider range of suspension settings to extend the driving qualities further still. The Panamera and Panamera 4 will be making their world debut at the Beijing Motor Show on 23 April 2010.”

The review about Porsche Panamera V6 is really very impressive that makes the car more brilliant. Features, design, engine and body of the car are really very impressive that make it bold. The news about Porsche Panamera V6 is as interesting as Indigo Manza.

2009-07-02T19:05:00.000-07:00

Maruti has launched its “five star” seventh car. Suzuki Ritz has dozen of amazing things which you want to know.

Suzuki Ritz is not bigger than the Swift but it share same platform like that. In abroad Ritz will known as Splash because it has been registered by Ford in India.

It has well driving position which will help you whenever you have to spent long time in traffic.

Consumer would like to buy the car rather than Swift because it is new brand for customers. It has refreshing cabin, practical body style and stylish look which attract Indian car customers.

Ritz is rich from its interior. It has a two-tone colour which makes it less plasticky in look. It is little bit expensive like SX4. It has a large but single Speedo and a tachometer which make it interior great in look.

It has new petrol engine designated with K12, 84 bhp at 6000 rpm and 11.3 kgm at 4500 rpm. Its average expectation is 13-14 kpl.

Its diesel engine is similar to Swift and Swift Dzire. Diesel engine has 19 kgm which can return 15-20 kpl which will depend on driving conditions.

Ritz is very successful car in Europe under the name of Suzuki Splash. The car was design with European mind sensibilities, according to the Maruti officials.

It is quick and fast to drive but if need more involvement then a customer should go with Swift. It is more suitable to drive on bad roads also.

Its ZXi version comes with ABS-EBD technologies which prevent the wheels locking up under braking but it is petrol engine only. It is not for diesel engine but ABS+EBD will be in the VDi variant.

The car has enormous interior space with taxi colours and frugal diesel engine which make it a brilliant taxi cab.

In Indian Market General Motor will Launch Small Cars under Rs 2 Lakh

2009-06-06T18:31:00.000-07:00

General Motors has now interest in Indian car market. GM is planning to develop a small car for Indian market which will be the cheapest, at a possible price of under Rs 2 lakh.

Nick Reilly who is the GM Group V-P said,

"I would say we are studying that... and (we) do think there is an opportunity for something below the current mini car offering Spark."

The statement was published in ET online news paper. This statement is showing that the company is looking to develop a car for India that would be positioned below the ‘Spark' mini car. Nick Reilly declared that the car would not be just like – Tata Nano. It would be something different.

Still there is no independent confirmation about it. While it is believed that GM is targeting a similar price tag below Rs 2lak for price tag below Rs 2 lakh for Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa and even possibly China along with India.

Official announcement said that India would be the leader for the R&D for this car. About this Karl Slym who is the President of GM's Indian subsidiary confirmed,

“It (Spark) is currently the cheapest car for us globally.”

Now, General Motors works its way out of bankruptcy in the US so, India and China would be key to its revival. It is being said that the small car would be the key to growth in the future.

Reilly expecting that India can be a "very important source" for small car demand. They are getting ideas from popularity of Tata Nano. They have planned to produce India-made small cars to increase competition on the price front.

Reilly added some words with that news,

"We have seen some decline (in sales) in the Indian market in the last few months, and obviously the market is weak. But mainly, I think, it was because of customers' response due to the widespread coverage on what was happening in the US."

Now, it is obvious that India would be the best market for small cars industry. Price is the main factors for Indian car industry. If the GM launches the small car by India then it would be a major competitor for TATA NANO.

Maruti has decided to launch Ritz and not phasing out of 800 and Omni

2009-05-13T10:46:00.000-07:00

In the recent story I V Rao who is the Maruti Suzuki’s Managing Executive Officer, said to the Hindustan Times report, “Ritz will directly compete with Swift. In the past, when we have launched cars in the same segment, it has helped the market to grow. With the launch of Ritz, our customers would have two cars to choose from in the same category.”

Maruti has estimated that it’s Ritz and Swift product would compete with Fabia, Getz, UVA and i20. In compact car segment Sift has already 75% marketshare.

Swift is one of the most successful product of Maruti which sales is about 10,000 Swifts a month. On this theory, other car company has also decided to enter in compact car segment.

On the other hand, I V Rao told to HT report, “We have not yet taken a call on phasing out 800 and Omni. The decision to phase out the models or not will be taken by our marketing division. Our marketing team has asked us to upgrade the 800 and Omni to meet he 2010 emission norms. We are going ahead with it.”

According to Maruti, it will work on up gradation of 800 and Omni rather than phase out these. The both product will be phase out till 2015.

In the car industry there are already big competitions after TATA Nano. TATA already had launched its NANO and booking of the car has gotten successful response.

In the mid of global economic crisis, car industries need to upgrade its quality and product also along with price lowering. In the car industry there are already many two-wheeler company has entered to launch lowest price car.

Now, all the market depends on look, style and price. In the situation, Maruti has taken good decision to launch Ritz and to not phase out Omini and 800.

Electric Car to Prevent Pollution

2009-04-19T18:27:00.000-07:00

Recently, British government announced to launch electric car to prevent pollution. It was basically to promote ultra low-carbon in next five years.

As per the news, “The electric car has had a long history stretching back to the 19th Century. But it is only in recent years that the idea has been taken seriously. Large and expensive batteries, as well as low speeds and short mileage ranges, make the electric vehicle unattractive to both consumers and manufacturers.

In Britain, electric vehicles have long been used to deliver milk. Operated by local dairies, the milk float has become synonymous with the British way of life. But due to the short distances they cover and a top speed of only 24 km/h, there is a widespread belief that electric vehicles are not practical.

That opinion changed when the American car manufacturer, General Motors, introduced the EV1 in the 1990s. Capable of motorway speeds and with a range of 216 km before a recharge, the car became highly popular amongst the lucky few who were able to lease the vehicle.

But after only eight years on the road, General Motors demanded the vehicles back. The decision led to accusations that the company was trying to remove threats to the oil industry and spawned a documentary film "Who killed the electric car?"

With a growing green movement and a better understanding of global warming, there has been a shift in attitude toward the electric car.

In a show of technological achievement, Swiss solar energy pioneer, Louis Palmer, completed a world tour in his solar-taxi in 2007. Covering more than 52,000 km in his solar-powered electric vehicle, Palmer said he wanted to prove the existence of solutions in lowering carbon dioxide emissions.”

It is the great step by British government however in all over world this type of action going on much strongly to save environment.

"Car insurance is a very effective mean to be on the safe side. Even if one meets with an accident it is possible to recover from the monetary nature of the losses with an automobile insurance policy.

Car insurance is seen as an incredible mean to be in the safe side and to protect a car from any damage that may ensue from an accident. The insurance coverage provided to the car by insurance companies brings confidence in users who now can depend on them for safeguarding their car from any damage. Several car insurance providers have emerged and they offer excellent premium rates that make the payments easy.

The premium rates for automobile insurance are divergent and they are dependent on a number of factors. For example, the premium for men is higher than that for women. The reason is that men get involved in more ‘rash driving’ and so their possibility of meeting with an accident is always greater. The same is the case with teenagers as it is believed that their chances of meeting with an accident are far greater than that of older people. So, the premium charged in case of men and teenagers are substantially larger in its amount than the premium, which is charged for women. However, a reduction in the premium charges is possible if the individuals are willing to undergo a ‘defensive driving course’. In such cases, the risk of meeting with an accident is reduced to a great extent.

Car Insurance is also available in the form of ‘Collision Auto Insurance’. This insurance guarantees that the cost of repairs of the car that has met with an accident would be borne by the insurance company. In-case, if the vehicle is not in a position to be repaired then the insurance company should pay off (in cash) the value of the vehicle damaged. This assurance comes as a guaranteed support to an insurer and it is brought to effect immediately whenever there is a disaster.

Information about the automobile insurance and companies that offer such insurance is available on the Internet. Various websites cater the act of providing details about the various policies that are given as offers. An insurer can easily get to know about the details by opening the various pages of these websites. It is also possible to apply for an insurance scheme online. People just need to provide some personal details and fill in an online form. Having submitted the details, it becomes possible for insurers now to find a very appealing car insurance policy.

There are various insurance companies that offer such policies. A person should approach only that insurance company, which offers good premium rates and is known for its services. Applications filed with an unknown insurance company may incur losses. So, it is advisable to opt for only those companies, which are known for offering good services. The policy plans should also be judged properly before insuring ones car with an insurance company. This precautionary step would definitely help the insurer to find an insurance company, which can be trusted. Hence, the world of automobile insurance is certainly one, which is effective towards solving the requirements, given that one is aware about car insurances."

After the success of i10 in India Hyundai motor company launched i20 car in the Indian market. The i20 is the great car after i10 but not like i30 according to the reviewer but the car is off course better than i10. It was the September, 2008 when the car was in launching process but it is now 2009 when the car announced to launch by Hyundai motor company.

About the i20 prices there are different thought because now in the market prices are not secured. According to the news papers its prices will be about 5.5 Lakhs INR which will be about $15000. But I think the price of the i20 will be cheap in near future.

MD & CEO, HS Lheem of Hyundai Motor India said, “The diesel option is for exports 1.4 and 1.6 litre, for India we will have to wait and see. This year has been very good for Hyundai. We have grown by 20 per cent and market share has gone up by 3 per cent.”

So, it is clear that Hyundai motor profit is higher than others. It has beaten Maruti Suzuki in the car market especially in India. According to the company about 2 cars will be launched every year in the Indian market.

Ferrari was most costly car in the world but the new car as I have already mentioned in my previous post will be sold in $500,000. It is the highest prices for its flying features.

Like this for the India most costly bike was Karizma but after the launch of Pulsar from Bajaj Brand motorcycle became cheaper also. Most of the bike now coming with cheap rate like car because all the companies who were manufacturing motorcycle, now involve in Car Manufacturing.

Most important part of car and bike is tires. Tires of any car and motorcycle make it stylish and fashionable. Most of the companies here who produce cheap tires but it is necessary to carry only cheap tires if you want to become stylish and fashionable with your motorcycle.

I think in the coming future all the car and motorcycle will be on cheaper prices because the market of this types of products are coming in competition.

Always I had thought about motor car. Because in my childhood I spent my life among them. There was a motor car shed where I was always sited in the evening. Still I am thinking about that car which was initial stage of my mind.

Every moment I made my dream successfully about my dream car. There was a stylish look and luxury sited car in my dream. Like Honda city car. But when I grew I thought it is much costly that is why I resign my dream.

But not the way... I am still addicted about great looking car. They are still attracting me. My eyes still searching different car which run on road and I prise them.

What about their parts. I understand they are very precious then after I see them as an engineer.
