Renault dealers across India have begun receiving new stock: the facelifted Duster compact SUV, which was launched yesterday. What this also means is that the pre-facelift version of the Duster will no longer be preferred by most customers. This means that the pressure is now on Renault dealers to make the pre-facelift SUV more attractive to buyers. Dealers are doing this by offering attractive discounts of up to Rs. 1 lakh on the pre-facelift Duster, depending on the inventory situation in their stockyards. Dealers are offering Rs. 1 lakh off on all diesel powered variants of the pre-facelift SUV. This discount is split into two components: Rs. 50,000 exchange bonus and Rs. 50,000 cash rebate. Petrol powered variants of the Duster are going at discounts of up to Rs. 30,000. If dealers don’t manage to sell the pre-facelift Duster quickly, expect bigger discounts in the coming weeks.

The pre-facelifted Duster is mechanically similar to the new version, with only cosmetic bits and a few feature additions being key differences. The new Duster gets a bolder, chrome heavy front grille, projector headlamps with LED DRLs, revised alloy wheels, refreshed front and rear bumpers, tweeters on the A-pillars, Arkamys audio codec for the stereo, voice commands for the infotainment unit with supports navigation, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a new steering, cooled glove box, revised center console with rectangular AC vents, a new colour scheme for the dashboard, door trims and seat fabric, new exterior colours including Mahogany Brown and Caspian Blue, new tail lamps and finally a new trim: RXS Option for the all wheel drive and petrol CVT variants.

The engines on the facelifted Duster have been carried over from the pre-facelift version. The petrol motor is a 1.5 liter, naturally aspirated 4 cylinder unit with 104 Bhp-142 Nm. The petrol engine is available only with a front wheel drive layout, and gets two transmission options: a 5 speed manual and a CVT automatic. The diesel engine: the 1.5 liter K9K turbocharged unit, is available in two states of tune: 84 Bhp-200 Nm and 108 Bhp-245 Nm. A 6 speed manual gearbox is standard on the front wheel drive and all wheel drive variants while the former also gets a 6 speed AMT option. The gearbox on the AWD Duster has shorter first and second gears, and the variant also gets independent front suspension. These two aspects make the AWD Duster the best variant for those who love to drive.

It has been in public knowledge since some time now that Bajaj is planning to launch a new 125 cc motorcycle in India. Earlier, it was being speculated that this will be the smaller version of the NS series since the NS 125 is sold in several international markets. However, the latest report from Autocar India suggests otherwise. According to the report, Bajaj will not bring the NS 125 to India but instead will launch a new 125 cc Pulsar in the country. The main reason behind bringing a Pulsar series bike in the 125 cc segment and not an NS series motorcycle is said to be the huge popularity of the former in India along with a lower cost of development.

If this is true, the Pulsar 125 will be the smallest displacement bike to be launched by Bajaj in nearly 18 years of existence of the Pulsar series. Till date, the Pulsar 135 was the least displacement bike under the Pulsar umbrella and it was discontinued some time back. As mentioned earlier, the NS 125 is sold in international markets like Indonesia where it sells in decent numbers too. However, when comparing NS to Pulsar in India, the latter certainly has much more popularity as a stronger foothold.

Apart from this, another reason why Bajaj is bringing in a 125 cc Pulsar is the increasing cost of motorcycles which is directly affecting sales. A lot of regulations have now come into play which has increased the prices of bikes. This includes the ABS rule, the insurance rates hike, and the recent BSVI compliance deadline. It can be said therefore that the next 2 years will see prices of two-wheelers rise substantially. The 125c Pulsar will make sense here as it will be cheaper since it won’t need ABS. However, it is not yet confirmed as Bajaj could launch an ABS-equipped version of the bike too.

The design of the Pulsar 125 is expected to be pretty much the same as the Pulsar 150. As for the engine and other technical details, there is no official information on the same by the company yet. It could come with a setup that is similar to what the NS 125 offers. Speaking of which, the  NS 125 is powered by a 125 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine with a four-valve head and it is mated to a five-speed gearbox. This engine churns out 13 Bhp of power at 9000 rpm along with 11.4 Nm of torque at 7,500rpm.

Now it can’t be said if the engine on the Pulsar 125 will have the exact same power output as the NS 125 but it will in the same range for sure. The launch could happen in a about a month from now and the prices of the bike could be around Rs. 65,00 price mark.

The diesel variants of the Seltos will carry the 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine that generates a maximum power of 115 PS and peak torque of 250 Nm. It will get a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The most powerful version of the Seltos will be the GT Line variant. This variant gets powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged engine that generates a maximum power of 140 PS and 242 Nm. This engine will come with a choice between a 6-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. All the engine options available with the Kia Seltos are BS6 compliant.

The Tata Sumo is one of the oldest MUVs on sale in India and is a regular sight on our roads. To this date, the Sumo has maintained its original boxy design, something which it is known for now. The Sumo sold in India for civilians never came with a 4×4 drivetrain despite being capable enough to perform some heavy off-road action. However, the Army version of the Sumo came with a 4×4 drivetrain and several of them have landed in the hands of regular folks like us after the Army auctioned them off. One such Army spec Tata Sumo 4×4 is featured here today which has been modified extensively in accordance with its owner’s choice.

Owned by Keshi Ramgarhia, this butch Tata Sumo is inspired by the Mercedes G Wagen which is one of the most iconic SUVs in the world. The latest G63 AMG is a total beast of an SUV and has unmatched go anywhere ability. Without a doubt, this modified Tata Sumo looks quite good and stands out from any other vehicle on the road. To let you know, It is a 2002 model Sumo and the total cost of modifying it in this avatar is about Rs. 5 lakh.

The total time spent on getting this look right is around 5-6 month but the end result is truly spectacular. The front end now features G-Wagen like round headlamps with LED DRLs. The bumper is a custom off-road spec unit with small fog lights built in it. The flared fenders and slats on the bonnet are something which comes as stock on the Army spec Sumo. The LED bar on the roof provides further illumination at dark or whenever the need arises.

The sides are dominated by those huge off-road spec tires that give the car an imposing look apart from enhancing the ground clearance. They are 35×12.5-16 spec tires and provide the necessary traction when off the road. Other touches on the side include custom ORVMs along with the side tailpipes which is another touch inspired from the G-Wagen.

The rear end gets a typical G-Wagen design with tiny tail lights and small glass area. The custom bumper here completes the look along with the spare tire mount. Other notable details about this Sumo include a standard suspension, a power steering, air conditioning and independent front suspension which enhance its drivability. The modifications, however, are not only limited to the exterior as the interiors have also been completely revamped into a luxurious and plush space.

On the inside, This modified Tata Sumo gets full leather treatment with leather upholstery as well as padding on the roof and doors. The front seats are fully adjustable electric units which enhance the comfort as well as the practicality of this wild looking Sumo. As mentioned already, it comes with other basic amenities like air conditioning as well as power steering which again make it a practical vehicle to use as a daily driver.

Among the various modified Tata Sumos we have seen till date, this one easily qualifies as one of the best not only because of how it looks but also because of it being a 4×4 vehicle. The revamped interiors are another feather in its cap as the occupants can enjoy the comfort while the vehicle goes for some mud bashing. A hat’s tip to the owner of this modified Tata Sumo from us then for creating something as good as this.

Honda launched the limited edition model of its popular Activa scooter in India a couple of weeks back. Based on the STD and DLX variants of the Honda Activa, the limited-edition scooters come with a special dual-tone colour scheme apart from other tweaks. Prices for the Honda Activa 5G limited edition start at Rs 55,032 (for the Activa 5G Limited Edition STD) and go all the way up to Rs 56,897 for the Activa 5G Limited Edition DLX. The prices for these special editions are only around Rs. 400 more than the regular Activa variants which is the reason that most people are now opting for them instead of the regular variants. Honda has released a new TVC of the Activa 5G Limited Edition which focuses on the distinctive features of this scooter.

As seen in the TVC here, the differences on the limited edition models are purely aesthetical in nature. According to Honda, the Limited Edition Honda Activa 5G comes with about 10 new premium style additions. The two new dual-colour options available in the special edition guise are Pearl Precious White with Matte Selene Silver and Strontium Silver Metallic with Pearl Igneous Black. Apart from the dual tone paint shades, the Limited Edition Activa gets new stylish graphics all around its body with ‘limited edition’ marked on several panels across its body.

The scooter now rides on blacked out rims which lend a sporty look to the Activa. Same is the case with the engine as it has been blacked out too. The muffler now gets a chrome cover while the grab rail, the inner side of the apron and seat cover are also finished in brown or black colour, depending upon the paint shade chosen by the buyer. The dual-tone colour option also adds highlights and special edition decals to the side apron, front fender and engine cover of the scooter.

Apart from the aesthetical changes, other specifications remain the same as on the regular Activa. There have been no changes on the mechanical front either and the limited edition Activa is powered by the same engine that powers the regular Activa models. This engine is a 109.2 cc air-cooled unit that churns out a decent 8 bhp of maximum power at 7,500 rpm along with 9 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 rpm.

The Honda Activa series is the best selling scooter series in India for a long time. They are known for their reliability and hassle-free operation more than anything else. With the special edition Activas, Honda aims to attract the younger buyers who might else go for a competitor. The other scooters in the market that rival the Activa include the likes of the Hero Duet and TVS Jupiter among others.

Hyundai launched the all-new Kona EV in the Indian market after a long wait. The most affordable electric SUV was launched as a CKD model and is priced at Rs 25.3 lakh, ex-showroom while the dual-tone paint version of the car costs Rs 20,000 more. In the Indian market, the Kona EV is available only in a single variant.

The Kona EV launched in India gets 39.2 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that powers 100 kW or 131 Bhp electric motor. Since it is an electric vehicle, it generates a massive torque of 395 Nm. Electric cars are known for their instant torque as there is no combustion engine in the vehicle and the power generation is instant. This makes the performance of the electric cars exhilarating. Here is a video of the Hyundai Kona EV that shows the electric SUV accelerate from 88 km/h to 147 km/h in no time. This is remarkable performance as the car took only about 14 seconds to accelerate to the top-speed.

The Hyundai Kona EV can do the 0-100 km/h run in just 9.7 seconds, which is quite quick for an SUV. However, most fast cars lose steam when they reach higher speed and the acceleration is not as good as the initial performance of the car. However, the Kona being an electric vehicle shows no such signs and the acceleration stays quick even after crossing the three digital mark on the speedometer. The Hyundai Kona EV that has been launched in India gets two different modes. There is a normal mode, which optimises the battery for city usage and extends the life of the battery to maximum by restricting the performance of the car. This video, however, has been shot in the sports mode, which allows the driver to utilise the full power of the electric SUV.

The instrument cluster seen in the video shows the power utilisation. While accelerating, the fully digital instrument cluster has markings from 0-100, which indicates the power utilisation by the car when the accelerator is pressed. In the video, we can see that the Kona EV is using its 100% power to speed up from 88 km/h. When the brakes are pressed at 147 km/h, the power utilisation can be seen dropping down rapidly. The Hyundai Kona EV also gets a regenerative braking system and the power indicator level on the extreme left-hand side of the car shows that the power is generating. The Kona gets three different regenerative braking settings that change the braking effectiveness.

The all-new Hyundai Kona EV can reach a top speed of 155 km/h according to the official figures. Real life top-speed figures can be different due to external factors. The Kona EV comes with 8 years or 1.6 lakh km warranty on the batteries. Also, the batteries take about 6-7 hours to charge completely using standard charging methods and only 54 mins to charge to 80% using a fast charger. It gets a range of 452 km on a single charge according to ARAI tests.

Skoda Auto is currently heading the business strategy for the Volkswagen Group in the Indian market and is expected to launch a number of all-new vehicles in the Indian market in the coming months. Skoda will globally reveal the all-new Octavia later this year and the premium sedan is expected to be launched in the Indian market sometime in 2020. Before its official unveiling at the Frankfurt Auto Show later this year here is a rendering that indicates what the all-new Skoda Octavia might look like when it gets launched in the Indian market.

The rendering image is made by Shoeb Kalania for IAB. The image is based on the camouflaged test mules of the car that were earlier spotted internationally. The all-new Skoda Octavia is expected to look much sleeker and different from the current version of the vehicle.

The rendered image shows new front-end of the car, which is carried forward from the current version of the Octavia. The headlamps will be new and will become more conventional compared to the current quad-headlamp set-up. The shape of the grille will remain the same but the size of the grille will become bigger. Skoda will offer full-LED headlamp and most likely the Matrix LED will be available. Skoda may also offer dynamic turn indicators just like premium Audi cars. Also, the all-new Octavia will get a new platform, which will be an updated version of the current vehicle.

The all-new Octavia will also get major updates at the rear. The tail lamps will get the signature C-Shape. Also, the logo of the Skoda will be replaced with the brand’s lettering on the boot. The current generation of the Skoda Octavia gets swooping roofline that adds a very coupe-styled silhouette to the car.

The all-new Octavia will also get updated thoroughly from the inside. The car will get a much premium interior with leather trims. The dashboard itself will be new and will look much more modern. Skoda will also add features like voice control and heads-up display to the car, which will further make it feature-loaded. Just like premium Audi cars, the Octavia may get Virtual Cockpit. However, it will increase the overall cost of the price, which is why the Indian version of the vehicle may not get such premium features.

The all-new Skoda Octavia may also get a full hybrid system. The next-generation car is expected to get a full 48V mild-hybrid system with the 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine. The car will also feature a new 2.0-litre diesel engine and both the engine options are likely to get BS6 emission compliance. With the new features, the price of the Octavia is expected be much higher than the current entry-level price of Rs 15.5 lakh.

American SUV specialist Jeep recently launched the range-topping variant in the Compass line-up. The automaker has now put out a new TVC of the Jeep Compass TrailHawk, which talks about the various capabilities of the off-roading focused SUV. The Compass TrailHawk, priced at Rs. 26.95 lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi, is the most expensive variant in the Compass line-up sold in India, and is also the first Bharat Stage 6 (BS6) emission norms compliant vehicle from Jeep. The Compass TrailHawk uses a BS6 complint BS6 diesel engine that displaces 2 liters, and makes 170 Bhp-350 Nm. A new 9 speed torque converter automatic gearbox is standard on the TrailHawk variant and will soon be offered with lower trims of the Compass. For now, check out the TVC.

The Compass TrailHawk has plenty of changes to make it a better SUV off the road. Key changes on the outside include revised front and rear bumpers for better approach and departure angles. Ground clearance has gone up by 20 mm thanks to a suspension lift. The suspension lift also gives the SUV better articulation over ruts, and other such off road conditions.

The SUV also gets trail rated, heavy duty alloy wheels that are crafted to take on off road driving. There’s a tow hook located on the rear bumper, and this function feature can be used to tow vehicles that are upto 1.5 times the Compass TrailHawk’s kerb weight. The TrailHawk trim gets multiple, 3 mm steel skid plates to protect key bits on the underside. The bonnet gets a black wrap to minimize reflection during uphill off road climbs.

Coming to other changes under the skin, the SELECTRAC all wheel drive system of the SUV gets two new modes: Sand and Rock, and more importantly, there’s a low range with a crawl ratio of 20:1. This mode will be particularly useful off the road, not just for a big torque boost but also to slow down the SUV sufficiently for challenging off road driving.

All in all, the Jeep Compass TrailHawk is a lot more capable than regular variants of the SUV off the road, and also looks the part with a taller stance. The Compass’ other variants include 1.4 liter turbo petrol engined models with 160 Bhp-250 Nm outputs, and the regular diesel model with the 2 liter Multijet motor with 170 Bhp-350 Nm. The petrol motor gets 6 speed manual and 7 speed twin clutch automatic gearboxes, and a front wheel drive layout. The diesel engine is available with a 6 speed manual gearbox, and front wheel drive and four wheel drive layouts.

While women drivers have become a common sight on the city roads now, female drivers are still a rare sight when it comes to heavy vehicles. There are lady drivers who drive around in commercial vehicles including cabs but heavy vehicles like trucks and bus are something difficult to come across. Breaking the stereotypes, a Mumbai-based Mechanical Engineer, Pratiksha Das has become a bus driver.

Pratiksha recently passed out as a Mechanical Engineer from Thakur College in Malad, Maharashtra and only 24-year old. She has been appointed as a bus driver of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST). Pratiksha is a girl next door who does all the regular things a 24-year old does including hanging out with the friends, going to the movies and visit the salon. The only uncommon thing in her life is handling a huge red coloured six-tonne bus on the crowded Mumbai roads.

In an interview with TOI, Pratiksha expressed her love for heavy vehicles. She said that she always wanted to master the heavy vehicles and this has been on her mind for six years now. She started her experience with the motorcycles and then graduated to cars. Now she can handle buses and trucks like a master and she feels very unique about it.

Pratiksha first learnt to operate a vehicle when she started learning to ride a motorcycle. It was her maternal uncle’s motorcycle and she learnt to ride it at a young age. She added that she was in class 8 and she could operate the bike like a pro in just two days, which surprised her family.

How did she become a bus driver? Well, Pratiksha wanted to be a Region Transport Officer (RTO) after completing her engineering course. To become an RTO, the individual needs to get a heavy vehicle license. It was a perfect opportunity for her to learn how to drive. She did not say if she wants to pursue her dream of becoming an RTO one day.

Getting into the job was not easy for her. Since it is a male-dominated job, Pratiksha received comments like “Yeh ladki chala paayegi ke nahi?” from her colleagues. Some of the people also commented on her height who doubted her ability to control such a large vehicle. Also, the riders in her bus often get surprised to see her driving and keep staring her. However, to tackle such public, she completely ignores them and goes on silently with her job of driving. Initially, she also faced problems while turning the bus or changing lanes but she mastered the skills in no time and she now regularly drives the bus.

Pratiksha is also a motorcycle racer and has participated in Asia Road Racing Championship 2019. She has participated in numerous races with manufacturers like Honda and TVS. In the past, she has won 2 TVS Racing Championship trophies and is currently the title holder of “Fastest Female at India Speed Week Drag Race”.

Every enthusiastic bike rider has a bucket list which contains several places to go for a road trip. Some of the most popular names in a biker’s dictionary when it comes to bike trips consist of Spiti, Lahaul, and Ladakh among others. Every year, a large number of riders ride across the country to visit these places and enjoy a few moments in the lap of nature. However, one never knows when bad luck may strike and the bike may stop functioning at such altitudes. For the same, Royal Enfield has inaugurated two high altitudes authorised service stations in Himachal Pradesh, one on the hugely popular Manali-Leh highway leading to Ladakh, and one in Kaza, the sub-divisional headquarters of the remote Spiti Valley.

The two new service centres are located in Keylong and Kaza to be precise. These routes witness a huge number of Royal Enfield motorcyclists travelling over them every year going to Ladakh and through Spiti Valley. Both these service centres, therefore, will cater to a large number of Royal Enfield riders who travel through these areas. To let you know, Royal Enfield now has a total of 13 authorised service centres in Himachal Pradesh and 943 service centres across the country. Speaking on the occasion, Shaji Koshy, Head – India Business, Royal Enfield said

“The Himalayas has been the spiritual home to Royal Enfield, and for over 60 years, riding enthusiasts have traversed these mountains on our motorcycles. Over the last few years, we have seen an increase in the number of people riding to the Himalayas on Royal Enfields. With the expansion of our service network in Himachal Pradesh at Kaza and Keylong, we have ensured that riders get adequate support even at high altitudes and challenging terrains. With places like Leh, Ladakh, Lahaul and Spiti getting featured on every rider’s bucket list, these service centres will cater to riders travelling to Leh region from any of the two routes – via Manali or Shimla,”

Both these new centres are apparently spread over 1,500 sq ft of area and offer full-service facilities with four service bays and a crew of fully trained and authorized Royal Enfield service personnel who will provide support to all riders on these routes. Royal Enfield has an established network of dealerships across India, including key remote locations in Ladakh and rest of Jammu and Kashmir along with Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim among others. Since all these places are populated by Royal Enfield bikers, the brand tires to provide authorized service to them and cater to them in case of emergency situations regarding the bike. Royal Enfield is currently working on the new generation models of the Classic and Thunderbird bike series which will be probably launched next year.

Renault will soon launch the Triber MPV, which will be based on a modified platform of the Renault Kwid. Soon, the French manufacturer will launch a sub-4m compact SUV based on the same platform, which will become the brand’s first-ever sub-4m compact SUV in the Indian market. Codenamed as HBC, the all-new Renault HBC will be launched in the Indian market sometime in 2020. While it is not known what the production version of the car will look like when it launches in the Indian market, there is a speculative rendering that gives us a fair idea of the production version of the upcoming SUV.

The rendering image has been put up by MotorBeam and it indicates the production version of the HBC pretty well. Currently, the sub-4m compact SUV segment is populated thickly and two all-new SUVs were launched earlier this year. The competitors of the Renault HBC include Ford EcoSport, Tata Nexon, Mahindra TUV300 and newly launched Mahindra XUV300 and the Hyundai Venue. Soon, Maruti will also launch the facelifted version of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza with a petrol engine. The all-new car is expected to get minor updates on the exterior too.

The Renault HBC will get the same CMF-A+ platform that underpins the upcoming Triber MPV. The rendered image shows that the production version of the car is expected to be heavily inspired by the Triber. However, Renault will make it look much more intimidating and will add thick cladding all around to ensure that gets the brutish look. The Renault HBC is likely to get rear styling inspired by the Captur, which is currently the most expensive vehicle of the brand in India.

The interior of the upcoming HBC is likely to be similar to the Renault Triber. It will get a similar dashboard with a fully digital instrument cluster. Also, the all-new SUV is likely to get the same infotainment system as the Triber. Safety features include four airbags, ABS+EBD, rear parking sensors, seat belt reminder, speed alerts and reverse parking camera.

The engine details are not known yet. However, Renault is expected to use a 1.0-litre turbocharged engine. The all-new engine is expected to debut the HBC in the Indian market. The power is expected to be around 90 Bhp while Renault will offer both manual and AMT automatic transmissions with the car. Since the BS6 emission compliance will be in place, Renault is not expected to launch a diesel engine option with the upcoming sub-4m SUV. The new vehicle is likely to be showcased at the 2020 Auto Expo in the Indian market and the launch will happen by the end of next year.

Are you looking for a used compact sedan but have budgetary constraints? Is your budget cap 5 lakh? Do you also have to factor in your mileage wishes? Are your demands specific to Ahmedabad? If yes, then worry no more, for we have you covered with a curated compilation for all your requirements.
You might think your demands are too specific, but even with your specific needs you will be bombarded with innumerable options on leading car websites. Moreover, they will have listings of cars that have not been neatly sorted, and hence cannot provide you with meaningful insights. What should be your approach in that case? The several filters on used car websites rarely provide useful information. The onus of making sense of the data remains on you, and who wants to be swamped with so much work? Fortunately, we let you sit back and relax while choosing your perfect car through the Cartoq TRUE PRICE.
By deploying the Cartoq TRUE PRICE, we help you identify the best deals. The Cartoq Data Science team has built a Machine Learning model that estimates the TRUE PRICE of a used car, after accounting for all sorts of variables – brand, model, age, mileage, and car type.

With all factors accounted for, the model predicts the TRUE PRICE, which then becomes the basis of comparison across cars. The best deals are those where listed price is lower than the TRUE PRICE. So, we scan through the car listings across major used car sites, compute their TRUE PRICE, and present the best deals for you. The shortlist for this article was based on the analysis we ran on July 8, 2019; so, by the time you read this article, there is a good chance that the specific car may no longer be available.

However, this list still provides plenty of useful pointers even if certain specific cars have already been sold out.

This list goes back and forth between Ford and Honda, which means:
• Both manufacturers have a lot of offer here, which is bound to make car lovers excited.
• While Ford prioritizes swashbuckling looks and power-driven performance, the more sedate Honda cars are high on efficient service.

Without further ado, let’s check out our top recommendations.

Recommendation #1: Ford Aspire Trend 1.5 TDCi

Year: 2015 / Mileage: 43,000 / List Price: Rs. 439,200 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 716,000

Why buy: Available in a dazzling white, this vehicle is currently placed with its first owner and runs on diesel. Combining power with precision, and an economic price with proven durability, this is a spectacular option that should convince most buyers en route to their garage.

Buy it here

Recommendation #2: Honda Amaze S i-DTEC

Year: 2014 / Mileage: 20,000 / List Price: Rs. 470,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 706,000

Why buy: Currently located with its second owner, what stands out about this car, apart from its sleek white look, is its paltry mileage. This may be five years old, but it could easily have another five left in the tank. Running on diesel, this may be considerably costlier than the first car on this list, but could turn out to be just as sensible a buy given its excellent efficiency.

Recommendation #3: Ford Aspire Ambiente 1.2 Ti-VCT

Year: 2015 / Mileage: 39,000 / List Price: Rs. 400,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 571,000

Why buy: Residing with its first owner, this red sedan is one of the most powerful options in this category. Relatively fresh with a modest price range, this stacks up favorably to both its predecessors on this compilation. Fueled by petrol, this should be a smart deal for most customers.

Recommendation #4: Honda Amaze 1.5 SX i-DTEC

Year: 2014 / Mileage: 47,000 / List Price: Rs. 480,200 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 748,000

Why buy: Another first owner car that runs on diesel and comes in white, this vehicle fits in neatly with an established pattern on this list. The downsides to this car are two- its inflated price and substantial mileage, both of which combine to slide this into the penultimate spot.

Recommendation #5: Honda Amaze 1.2 S i-VTEC

Year: 2014 / Mileage: 41,000 / List Price: Rs. 445,000 / Ex Showroom Price: Rs. 595,000

Why buy: Running on petrol, this first owner sedan presents a curious case. Sporting a simple yet sophisticated white, it hovers on the periphery of affordability, both in terms of price and mileage, making it an outside contender for your needs should you be displeased with the top three.

In Summary

The Ford Aspire and the Honda Amaze are the ones to watch out for in this segment. While brand loyalty can determine which car you eventually settle for, in terms of objective parameters, it is Ford that has a slight edge over its competitor in Honda in this part of the market. For more such lucrative car deals in Ahmedabad, watch this space.

Kia will launch the much anticipated Seltos SUV on the 22nd of August. Till date, the manufacturer has established 265 touchpoints, 206 sales points and 192 service points across 160 cities which is no small feat for a manufacturer that has not yet launched its first car in India. The official bookings of the Hyundai Creta challenger will start from the 16th of this month for a token amount of Rs. 25,000. When launched, the Kia Seltos will rival the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Mahindra XUV500, Tata Harrier and the MG Hector among others.

Kia has stuffed the Seltos to the brim with features and this includes several first in class features too. Here are some of the segment first features that this car will come with  – Heads-Up Display, Bose Speakers, air purifier with UVO control, reclinable rear seats, Connected ambient light, Solar glass (radiation cut glass), Blind Spot warning system, front parking sensors, and 360-degree camera among others. Other notable features on the Kia Seltos include 8-speaker system from Bose, steering modes, engine modes, sunroof, six-airbag system, 8-way adjustable powered seats, ventilated front seats, 7 inch MID, LED headlights and fog lamps, four disc brakes, and a 10.25-inch infotainment system.

Kia has also equipped the Seltos with UVO Connect which comes with 37 connectivity features including live tracking, Voice Recognition and remote start. The UVO Connect on the Seltos can be seen as another iteration of the BlueLink connectivity feature seen on the Hyundai Venue. Compared to the Creta, the Seltos is slightly bigger in size which means that interior space will be ample. The all-new Kia Seltos will come with three different engines along with three different automatic gearboxes and a standard manual box. This is the first time in a mass segment car in India that three different engine automatic transmission options will be available on a single model.

Talking about the engine, there will be two petrol engines on offer along with a diesel unit. The less powerful petrol engine will be a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine that generates a maximum power of 115 Bhp and peak torque of 144 Nm. The diesel engine on the Seltos will be a 1.5-litre turbocharged engine that generates a maximum of 115 Bhp and 144 Nm of peak torque. The most powerful engine in the lineup will be introduced on the high-performance GT Line variant. This engine is a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine that pumps out a maximum power of 140 Bhp and peak torque of 252 Nm. All the engine options will get a 6-speed manual transmission while there will be a CVT automatic for the 1.5-litre petrol, a 6-speed automatic for the diesel engine and a 7-speed Dual-Clutch transmission for the 1.4-litre GT Line variant.

Maruti Suzuki, India’s largest car maker is working on a range of all-new cars that will be launched in the Indian market in the coming months. While Maruti Suzuki will launch a micro-SUV, which is likely to be called S-Presso and will be based on the Future-S concept, Maruti Suzuki will also launch the all-new Vitara in the Indian market, which will be positioned as the most expensive vehicle from the brand.

GaadiWaadi has spotted the Vitara on the Indian roads without any camouflage. However, the car also did not have any front grille in place to hide its identity. The car also had a temporary registration plate. Most likely, Maruti Suzuki will start testing the car on the Indian roads in a few weeks. The all-new Vitara is currently on sale in many international markets. However, due to the failure of Grand Vitara in the Indian market, the vehicle never made a comeback.

In the recent past though, Maruti Suzuki has become extremely popular in the Utility Vehicle segment. After the launch of the Vitara Brezza, the first sub-4m compact SUV from the market leader, Maruti Suzuki became number 1 on the sales chart of the Utility Vehicles in India. It should be noted that Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza only offers a diesel engine and still it manages to stay on the top of the table. Since the market has now shifted towards SUVs and people do prefer them over any other body style, Maruti Suzuki is now planning to bring the all-new Vitara.

The Vitara will take on the likes of all-new Kia Seltos, Tata Harrier and even the MG Hector. However, the Vitara will be directly competing with the upcoming all-new Hyundai Creta, which is likely to be launched in the Indian market next year.

The Vitara is already on sale in the international markets but the Indian version of the car will be made in India to put up a competitive price tag and attract the young buyers. The Vitara is a smaller version of the Grand Vitara and looks like a bigger sibling of the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza.

The engine options of the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza have not been confirmed by the manufacturer yet. However, in the international markets, the SUV offers powerful petrol engine options. There is a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine that generates a maximum power of 111 Bhp and peak torque of 170 Nm. A bigger 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine that generates a maximum power of 140 PS and 220 Nm. There is also a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that generates a maximum of 117 Bhp and 156 Nm. Even though many variants get the AllGrip system, it is not expected to be present in the Indian-spec car.

Emraan Hashmi, who is has been in the movie industry for a long time now recently drove home in a Lamborghini. The actor was spotted in a yellow Lamborghini Huracan and many pictures and videos of him driving the car to his home have surfaced online. While many reports have claimed that he has bought the new car, it seems like Emraan called the car only for a test drive and is yet to buy the car.

A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) on Jul 9, 2019 at 5:31am PDT

While we could not verify any of the reports that claim that Emraan has bought the Lamborghini Huracan, the car itself carried a temporary number sticker. The video and pictures of the car online show that Emraan drove it to the parking of his home. Emraan was spotted alone in the car and was seen taking on the broken road just outside his home in Mumbai.

The Huracan replaced the extremely popular but ageing Lamborghini Gallardo from the global markets. In India, six variants of the supercar are available and the most affordable version is priced at Rs 3.45 crores, ex-showroom, which can translate into about Rs 4 crores on road. Lamborghini also sells the Avio and Performante versions, which are priced at a much higher slab. We are not sure if this an RWD or AWD version. The AWD version costs around Rs 50 lakh more than the RWD version of the Huracan.

The Lamborghini Huracan is one of the best-selling models of the brand. It gets powered by 5,204cc, V10 naturally aspirated petrol engine that develops a massive power of 573 Bhp at 8,000 rpm and peak torque of 540 Nm at 6,500 rpm. It has a restricted top speed of 325 km/h. It gets a 7-speed automatic transmission that can propel the car from standstill to 100 km/h in just 3 seconds. In the 2WD models, the power goes to the rear wheels while the AWD model gets power on all the wheels.

The Huracan can take on bad roads perfectly as seen on the video. It gets air suspension which can raise the height of the car’s body by about 45mm. It can be quite useful while tackling bad roads as seen in this video and tackling the illegal speed breakers on the roads. For track usage, the car can come down and provide much better stability, which allows the car to take the corners at higher speeds.

Lamborghini also allows the customise the Huracan as per one’s taste. The car seen here gets green coloured brake callipers that look striking. Such customisations can be done by the owners when they place the order for the car. Currently, there are numerous Huracan supercars on the Indian roads. Lamborghini also launched the all-new Urus SUV, which has become quite popular on the roads too.

The Honda WR-V is one of the better selling cars in the Japanese automaker’s Indian line-up. The Jazz-based compact crossover has just received a new mid-level trim. Known as V, the new variant will sit between the S and VX trims. The V trim of the Honda WR-V is available only with a diesel engine while the other variants get both petrol and diesel engines. The new variant is priced at Rs. 9.95 lakhs, making it the second most expensive trim in the WR-V line up. The V trim for the diesel WR-V is meant to give buyers most of the features that were only available with the VX trim, at a lower price point.

Coming to the features that the Honda WR-V Diesel’s V variant offers, buyers will get ABS+EBD, twin airbags, reverse parking sensors, speed alerts, seat belt reminders, reverse parking camera, fog lamps, alloy wheels, chromed door handles, black and silver interior trims, touchscreen infotainment unit with navigation, steering mounted audio controls, cruise control, automatic climate control, push button start, keyless entry. front centre armrest, tilt and telescopic steering and an electric sunroof.

The S and VX trims of the WR-V get new features. The S trim gains new alloy wheel with a gun metal grey finish, automatic climate control, speed sensing door locks, fog lamps, flip key and one touch operation for driver’s power window. The VX trim gains a leather wrapped steering wheel, speed sensing door lock, driver and passenger side vanity mirrors, and the other regulation safety upgrades mandated by the Bharat New Vehicle Safety Assessment Program (BNVSAP) norms.

Rajesh Goel, Sr. Vice President and Director, Sales & Marketing, Honda Cars India Ltd. said,

Honda WRV, the premium Sporty Lifestyle Vehicle introduced in 2017, features the brand’s global DNA and has been well accepted by customers. We are extremely delighted to introduce the new V grade and enriched versions of S & VX grade for WRV. We are confident that the freshness added to WRV line-up will be appreciated by our customers.

The WR-V is offered with 2 engine options: a 1.2 liter-4 cylinder naturally aspirated petrol with 88 Bhp of peak power and 110 Nm of peak torque, and a 1.5 liter-4 cylinder turbocharged diesel with 98.6 Bhp-200 Nm. While the petrol engine gets a 5 speed manual gearbox, the dieel gets a 6 speed manual. Although both engines are offered with CVT automatic gearboxes on the Honda Amaze, the automaker is yet to introduce an automatic gearbox on the WR-V. The compact crossover rivals the likes of the Hyundai Active i20 and the Ford Freestyle, and is significantly pricier than both its rivals. Also, it has a much roomier interior, and looks more butch. The butch looks of the WR-V and its pricing, has meant that the compact crossover is now rivaling the likes of the Tata Nexon and the Ford EcoSport. In this segment though, the WR-V is a back marker as all other SUVs offer automatic gearbox options and better street presence.

Mahindra XUV500, which is one of the most successful made-in-India SUV has been around for a long while in the market. Over the years, the Mahindra XUV500 remained at the top of the sales chart for a long period of time. The XUV500 remained the best-seller in the market. However, with the launch of vehicles like Tata Harrier and Jeep Compass in the Indian market, the XUV500 sales have been affected in recent times. There are a lot of Mahindra XUV500 available in the used car market. While the vehicle gets a lot of positives, a few things can turn sour for the owners. Here is a detailed view on buying a used Mahindra XUV500 from the point of the view of an owner who is currently using a used Mahindra XUV500. What should one keep in mind while buying a used XUV500? Here are all the points.

You can get one for less than Rs. 4 lakhs

Since the XUV500 has been around in the market for a long time now, there are quite a number of examples of the vehicle available in the used car market. The Mahindra XUV500 is not a very difficult vehicle to find in the used car market and one only needs to check the vehicle properly and verify the service records before buying. Here three good examples of the Mahindra XUV500 in the used car market. Example 1, Example 2, Example 3

But you have to do your homework before buying one!

Maintenance cost

Mahindra XUV500 has a lot of niggles in it like suspension and electronics. These problems occur over the time of ownership and once the vehicle is out of warranty, it can cost a lot. Mahindra XUV500 may burn a hole in your pocket once the manufacturer’s warranty is over. This is why one should always go for an XUV500, which is still under the warranty to be on the safer side.

Stay away from the first batch

Since the XUV500 is an all-new vehicle and was developed in-house by Mahindra, the first batch of the vehicle faced a lot of recurring issues. One of the most common niggles in the first batch of Mahindra XUV500 is Interactive Torque Management (ITM). This feature controls the amount of torque distributed in all the four wheels of the XUV500 and its failure can mean that the vehicle will not engage the AWD mode.

Suspension

The Mahindra XUV500 is a large family vehicle that is designed to take on the long routes. However, the vehicle’s suspension system is not the best in the segment. The Mahindra XUV500 can be extremely uncomfortable, which can be extremely tiring for the passengers. The hard suspension set-up can affect the back of the passengers.

Last row space

If you are looking for a proper seven-seater vehicle that can be used for travelling long distances together, the XUV500 is not the vehicle to go for. The last row seats of the XUV500 is seriously cramped and it can be difficult for the adults to fit in there for long journeys.

Spacious front seats

The XUV500 has massive first and second-row seats. It can comfortably seat five occupants without any problem. The Mahindra XUV500 offers plenty of room in the second row which is very useful to stretch the legs during long journeys. With the last row seats folded down, the XUV500 can offer space to move homes!

Reliable engine

The XUV500 comes powered by a 2.2-litre engine. While the latest-generation vehicle offers a maximum of 155 PS and 360 Nm of maximum torque, the older vehicles offered a maximum of 140 Bhp and 330 Nm, which is decent for the highways and the city traffic. The Mahindra XUV500 offers a good amount of mileage and the engine is quite reliable and does not break down easily.

Loaded with features

When the XUV500 launched in the Indian market, it became the most-loaded mass segment vehicle in the segment. Starting from projector lamps to features like six airbags, tyre pressure monitoring system, AWD, Mahindra Blue Sense, sunroof, ESP with rollover mitigation, all four disc brakes, leather seats, ambient lights, puddle lamps, leather-wrapped steering wheel and more features make the Mahindra XUV500 extremely plush and luxurious.

Renault unveiled the Triber last month in India and the car will be launched here next month. We brought you the exclusive pricing details of the Triber some time back according to which the prices will start from Rs. 4.4 lakhs, ex-showroom Delhi, for the base variant and go all the way up to Rs. 5.8 lakhs for the top-end trim. Now, details about the official booking dates of the car have surfaced. According to Carwale, Renault will officially start taking bookings for the Triber from next week. Based on the Kwid’s CMF-A platform, the Triber will chiefly target the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga as a low-cost alternative. It will be available in four trim levels – RXE, RXS, RXT and RXZ.

The length of the Renault Trier has been kept under 4 meters in order to get tax benefits and keep the prices competitive. Previously, the Datsun Go+ introduced the idea of a sub-4 meter compact MPV but it didn’t gather much attention. Renault, however, says that the Triber is a well-rounded product that will be liked by people from all walks of life, particularly young people who want more space in their cars without spending a fortune on it. The Triber will be sold as a five-seater and will have an option to be fitted with an extra row of seats from dealerships to make it a 6/7 seater. The two additional seats that can be installed as the third row in this unique compact MPV can be purchased for Rs. 3,000 each.

Talking of dimensions, the Triber will measure 3,990 mm in length, 1,739 mm in width and 1,643 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,636 mm along with a ground clearance of 182 mm, which is better than almost all the hatchbacks sold in India. Further, the kerb weight of the Renault Triber is pegged at  947 kg that would result in a decent performance. Speaking of features, the Triber will come with a touchscreen infotainment system, cooled central storage area, 12V charging sockets and AC vents in each row and a cooled glove box, keyless entry and many other creature comforts. Airbags, reverse parking sensors and ABS will be standard on the top-end trim.

Talking about the engine powering the Triber, it will be a 1-litre 3 cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that is also found under the hood of the Kwid. This engine churns out 72 Bhp of power along with 96 Nm of torque on the Triber which is more than the Kwid’s power figures. The engine has been retuned for better power outputs as the Triber is heavier than the Kwid and will also have to carry much heavier loads than the hatchback. A five-speed manual gearbox will be offered with the Triber among with a 5-speed manual AMT option.

Hyundai is working to replace the current version of the Elite i20 with an all-new car. The all-new i20 will be launched in the Indian market next year and the car has already been spotted testing under heavy camouflage. The all-new i20 has been seen testing on the international roads, as well as in India. While the car is still a few months away from entering the production line and launching in the market, here is a speculative rendered image that indicates what the car may look like when it is launched in the Indian market.

The rendering image has been made by Shoeb Kalania for IAB. The image is based on the camouflaged test mules of the upcoming i20 that have been spotted testing in India and international roads. The image indicates that the all-new i20 will get a large grille, which is in accordance with the latest design trends of Hyundai. The headlamps are conventional and not like the ones we get to see on the Hyundai Venue. The headlamps also feature LED DRL that looks quite good on the car. Moreover, the car gets a large foglamp housing that is designed pretty aggressively. It gets a bumper splitter that adds an overall sporty look to the car.

The overall shape remains similar to the current version of the Hyundai Elite i20. While shape has become a bit sleeker, Hyundai may not change the overall shape of the car to keep its DNA alive. On the side, the all-new Hyundai Elite i20 might get deep creases that form the character lines of the car.

Hyundai has always been known for their good looking alloy wheels and the all-new Hyundai Elite will also get a new set of alloy wheels. The headlamp and the tail lamps are expected to get powered by LED lamps. On the inside, the Hyundai Elite i20 currently gets a long list of features. The all-new version will get an even more elaborative list of features that may be segment-leading.

We may get to see the similar connected infotainment system, just like the Hyundai Venue in the next-generation i20. Also, features like air purifier can be introduced to the car. The all-new car will get a plush new cabin with added features like cruise control and sunroof.

Hyundai has not said anything on the engine that will power the all-new Elite i20. However, the car is expected to get 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine or the 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that powers the Hyundai Venue. The diesel variants will utilise the 1.4-litre BS6 engine. Hyundai will offer both manual and automatic transmission options with the Venue. We may get to see the official unveiling at the 2020 Auto Expo.

India is the world’s seventh largest country and is one of the most populous ones. While the habitable land is quite limited, in the mountains, the growing population and the lifestyle has changed the way of living completely. Since the mountains have very limited usable space, the residents often resort to unique methods. In Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, hundreds of cars can be seen parked on the farming lands. What exactly is happening here?

The report by BBC Hindi shows hundreds of cars parked at various farms near a place in Shimla, the capital city of Himachal Pradesh. According to the report, automobile dealers from around the area have started parking their vehicles on these farmlands and they pay the owner of the lands in return. This place called Shoghi is around 25 km away from Shimla and is a popular tourist destination too.

As per the report, the farmers in the area did not get the desired yield from farming. Also, wildlife like the monkeys, wild boars and Nilgai used to destroy the crops. After the administration did not take any action, the farmers in the area stopped farming entirely. Now the farms are getting used as a dealer stockyard. The dealers pay Rs 100 per month per car as rent to the farmers and this allows a steady income for the landowners.

The Shoghi village has common sights of such cars parked in stacks around the farmlands. The farmers earn about Rs 9,000 to Rs 10,000 every month from the dealers. Many farmers in the region stopped growing vegetables and other products due to the menace of the monkeys. It should be noted that the administration of Shimla declared the monkeys as vermins which allowed the killing of the monkeys. However, as per a few reports, only five to six monkeys were officially killed in the past two years. People believe that the monkeys in this region are sacred and do not kill them due to their association with Lord Hunaman. The Shimla district has world’s highest Hunuman statute, which attracts lakhs of visitors every month.

The dealerships have also found a way around high rent prices for the parking and have started using such farmlands for a nominal fee. It should be noted that the dealerships use the stockyards to store the vehicles that are to be delivered to the customers. Once the customer makes the purchase, the vehicle is transferred from the stockyards to the dealerships and get properly washed before delivery.
