Renault Logan is being rolled out in a phased manner into showrooms around the country, Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) has introduced two new variants, one each for the petrol and diesel models. The Logan was launched in April with three engine options, including two petrol — a 1.4-litre and a 1.6-litre — engines and a 1.5-litre diesel power plant
With a view to offering more choice to potential sedan buyers, M&M has launched the new GLX and DLX variants with additional features and has priced them in such a way as to plunk the new variant right between the trim levels currently available.
The new variants of the 1.6-litre petrol engine and the 1.5-litre dCi diesel models will now be positioned between the GLE/DLE variant on the lower priced, cheaper trim side and the top-end GLS/ DLS variant on the other, higher priced, more expensive trim side. Much of the changes that have been introduced with the Logan GLX and DLX had supposedly been initiated after a detailed customer feedback process.
The new variants will attempt to provide additional features that many customers demand in this segment either as part of standard fitment or end up getting retrofitted post-purchase.
Accorrding to company officials as much as 63 per cent of the Logan’s sales volume comes from the top-end variants.
The new variants’ additional features for the interior include adjustable head restraints for the rear seat passengers, a trunk room light, manually adjustable outside rear view mirrors, front and rear power windows and a central locking system.
The other additional features include a rear door trim with fabric and on the outside, body side moulding, which is both meant to enhance the looks of the car and provide increased protection against nicks and scratches.
The Logan was launched with five trim levels. The new GLX and DLX variants are to be made available for bookings in all the current sales locations in a phased manner. source:thehindubusinessline.com/

EXCELLENT FIT AND FINISH, BRILLIANT ENGINE AND A VERY REFINED CABIN - CERTAINLY THE BEST LUXURY SALOON IN INDIA!
EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE ACCORD, WE CAN'T help marveling at the sheer all-around capability of the car. It looks good, is spacious and comfortable, rides and handles well, and there's a choice of two absolutely sparkling engines - a 2.4-litre inline-four, and a 3.0-litre V6. Not only that, compared with other D-segment cars in India, the Accord is very reasonably priced, which makes it even better value for money. Whichever way you look at it, the Accord is an outstanding car, which is why it's been such a huge sales success for Honda worldwide.
While the Accord's sporty, rakish good looks appeal to a wide range of people, it's plush and comfortable interiors follow suit. The ergonomics in this car are spot-on, and long journeys are a pleasure, rather than a chore, in the Accord. The Accord 2.4 is fi tted with a 2354cc inline-four that features variable valve timing, and makes 144PS and 196Nm of torque. This car sprints from zero to 100km/h in 9.5 seconds and is capable of a 208km/h top speed. Not enough for you? Take the 2997cc V6 then, which packs 224PS and 276Nm of torque. The V6 goes from zero to 100km/h in 9.3 seconds and hits a top speed of 215km/h. Both cars are also very fuel effi cient, with 12.3kmpl for the Accord 2.4 and 8.4kmpl for the V6. And with front airbags and anti-lock brakes, the safety factor is high. Very reasonable purchase price, great drivability, well-appointed cabin, comfortable ride, and exemplary refi nement, reliability and fuel economy - the Accord does it all, and does it in style. And all things considered, it's the best luxury saloon sold in India.

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY TO PUT IT, SO LET'S JUST say this right up front - the Honda City is a stupendous car. This is one of those very few cars where the 'premium' tag is more than mere marketing-speak. In thought, design and execution, the Honda comes out on top.
When the current-generation City was launched, in 2003, its styling was a radical departure from anything else available in India at that time. And even today, four years on, there's no car in its segment which looks as modern, as avant-garde, as uber-chic. And the beauty is not just on the surface. The City has one of the most refi ned, most spacious and most comfortable cabins among all cars in its segment. Gearshift quality on the fi ve-speed manual is the very best, while a superb CVT version is also available. And the engines are better still.
The City's 1497cc inline-four is available in two versions –
the 'tuned for fuel effi ciency' i-DSI, and the more performance-oriented VTEC. The former makes 78PS and 125Nm of torque, sprints from zero to 100km/h in 13.8 seconds and hits a top speed of 171km/h.
The VTEC boasts of 101PS and 137Nm of torque, does the 0-100km/h in 11.5 seconds and is capable of doing 186km/h. Both engines offer very good fuel economy, with 18.8kmpl for the i-DSI and 17.6kmpl for the VTEC.
With Honda's legendary refi nement and reliability, great cabin space and ride comfort, and brilliant fuel economy, the Honda City is very deserving of the best premium segment family saloon tag.

Maximum Fuel Economy Meets Reasonably Good Power
Honda's intelligent Dual and Sequential Ignition (i-DSI) engine is the second i-Series engine, next to i-VTEC, that employs compact combustion chambers and two spark plugs per cylinder with individually controlled ignition timing for more rapid and complete combustion.
In developing the i-DSI engine, the objective was to achieve rapid and complete combustion. Since the Honda CVCC days in the early 1970s, Honda has been a great believer in optimizing the combustion process as a means of achieving high performance, high fuel economy and low toxic emissions. In the i-DSI engine, they would seem to have been able to achieve all three.
Narrower valve angles and other refinements have been employed to make the combustion chambers as compact as possible. The i-DSI engine employs an innovative twin spark plug system (two spark plugs per cylinder) for maximum combustion efficiency. In addition, the combustion chamber has been engineered to promote greater swirl of the air-fuel mixture.
The intake manifold shape has also been shaped and its length optimized.
Other refinements include world-leading friction reduction technology utilizing molybdenum-impregnated piston skirts, a rear-port exhaust system and an oblique-feed catalytic converter. And though the 1497 cc long-stroke engine has two valves per cylinder and only a single overhead camshaft, its output is a respectable 77Bhp at 5000 rpm with 125 Nm of torque peaking at a low 2700 rpm.
VTEC Engine
Honda CITY ZX also comes with the latest version of original Honda Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) engine that employs compact combustion chambers and new design intake port with Narrow Valve angles for Rapid Combustion and reduced friction leading to compatibility of fuel economy and powerful dynamic run.
For maximum engine performance at low engine speeds, the valves need to open and close differently than they do at higher engine speeds. VTEC system is engineering features to change valve timing and lift parameters in response to engine speed characteristics. Its action allows combustion properties to match the demands of current engine operating conditions to the perfection possible, hence delivering both high performance and high efficiency. 100PS, 5800 RPM, alloy wheels and disc brakes give superior performance making driving a sheer pleasure.
Each valve in an engine employing VTEC system is assigned a number of individually shaped cam lobes. These are all formed on the same camshaft and, through the implementation of electronic control, are switched in response to engine conditions using hydraulic pressure, thus enabling the above-mentioned features to be realized.
The 16-valve SOHC VTEC engine powering the CITY ZX has been provided with high speed and low speed cams with different profiles on the intake camshaft. Like its DOHC counterpart, the low-speed cam operates valves in low and mid–speed range and high-speed cam operates in the high-speed range (only for the intake valves in this case). This technique allows the engine to offer the best possible combination of ease-of-driving in everyday driving speeds, high power at high speeds and fuel efficiency.
At low rpm - Only 1 intake valve opens to let the air swirl in, resulting in clean burn and good fuel economy at low engine speeds.
At high rpm - Both the intake valves open at full lift to let the mixture of intake flow in totally, giving high power at high engine speeds.
Smooth, Step-Less Transmission From Engine to Wheels
CVT - Continuously Variable Transmission
The operation of a CVT differs from that of conventional auto transmission, as there are no individual gear ratios, thus eliminating shift shock and lapses as ratios change. It’s like having a single ratio, which operates throughout the rev range. The CVT computer continually monitors throttle opening and duration, and automatically changes driving mode for optimum control. It has an optimized belt speed ratio range and direct control of pulley side pressure to enhance transmission efficiency and fuel economy.
This belt-driven transmission, with infinite ratios, provides acceleration that feels linear to your demand, as well as effective engine braking for linear deceleration.
By eliminating the lull, lurch and wasted energy of conventional gear shifting, Honda CVT makes driving economical. With the improvements carried out, CVT in the City ZX becomes even smoother and more responsive.
CVT Shift Select Positions
D is the Drive mode - for normal daily driving use. The i-DSI engine’s design target is maximum fuel economy coupled with reasonably good power. This means that D mode is optimized for maximum fuel efficiency above everything else, and with peppy performance.
S is the Sports mode - for the time when we demand maximum performance from the Honda City without concern for fuel economy. Throttle response will become very urgent with the car eager to surge forward upon jabbing at the throttle. If the driver wants max performance above economy, he can switch to S mode.
L is the Low mode - for driving at low speeds. It is ideal to select L while driving in hilly areas as it provides ample torque and effective engine braking.

Spark
General Motors, the world's biggest carmaker, has rolled out its small car Chevrolet Spark in India as it takes on market leader Maruti Suzuki in one of the world's fastest growing automobile markets.The company has pegged the price of Spark at Rs 3.09 lakh (Ex-showroom Delhi) for the base model, slightly lower than Rs 3.21 lakh for Maruti's Zen Estillo base model.
Spark would be available in four options with the prices ranging from Rs 3.09 lakh to Rs 3.89 lakh. However ultimately the success of any model will depend upon the following: Mileage Maintainance cost Spare parts cost Shape/look of the car price of the car Spark, which is actually the old Daewoo Matiz, would initially be manufactured at General Motors’ Hallol (Gujarat) plant and its launch has well turn the company’s fortunes in months with overdemanding booking.
Spark would be available in two versions of petrol engine: 795cc and 995cc. The 795cc, 6valve engine would compete with Maruti 800.
It will deliver a power of 8KW and torque of 68.6 Nm@4600 rpm. The three-cylinder design provides a very flat torque curve, which results in a less peak power delivery. The 795cc engine claims to give a mileage of 19.2kpl with a top speed of 142 km/hr.
Chevrolet Spark has a mono frame design, which maximizes the wheelbase, and in turn improves cabin space. The body is made of high strength steel, which makes the car lighter and gives the required stability on road while driving. Spark has a completely new torsion beam rear axle, which is coupled to angled shock absorbers and semi trailing arms.
Spark has 1L engine which outputs 63bhp of power and 90Nm of torque., Chevrolet Spark will give approx 17kmpl in similar driving conditions. slothful feeling. The engine always did the needful as far as city-driving is concerned. With 1L engine, Spark is more thrilling in city and much better at highways. But the mileage will depend on use also.

Spark Interiors:
In the driver’s direct line of view, there is a semi-circular set of displays incorporating the control and warning lights.
In the center of the dashboard and slightly raised, is the instrument panel with classic-style analogue displays, easily visible to all Spark occupants. They provide information on rpm, speed and fuel level.
The odometer reading and time are displayed in digital form which means they are easy to pick out at a glance and the clever ergonomics mean you don’t have to peer through the steering wheel and take your eyes off the road. More cars should have this set-up.
For average sized people the Spark’s interior will pose no problems in the legroom department and headroom will fit for most sizes too. The seats are supportive and good for distance work. The rear seat’s backrest can be divided in the ratio 60:40 against the not folding type offered by Zen Estilo, enabling longer objects to be transported without problem. If the complete bench is flipped up, the capacity rises to an impressive 845 liters whereas the luggage space is 170litres.
Spark Safety and special features:
Anti Lock Braking System and driver-passenger airbags may not be offered in 0.8L spark and may be offered in 1Lspark as an optional one The range of safety equipment is completed by an energy-absorbing steering column, knee padding and a plastic fuel tank with a safety valve that immediately halts the fuel supply if the car turns over, thereby virtually eliminating any fire risk. Certainly it may not be the safest car but 0.8L spark will certainly score over the Maruti 800 when comes to safety. Air conditioning, power windows, power steering, remote fuel lid opener and remote tail gate opener will be offered as standard in 1L spark.
Price General Motors India (GMI) is offering a discount of Rs 53,000 on all the models of Chevrolet Spark for a period of ten days starting from October 12.

It will deliver a power of 8KW and torque of 68.6 Nm@4600 rpm. The three-cylinder design provides a very flat torque curve, which results in a less peak power delivery. The 795cc engine claims to give a mileage of 19.2kpl with a top speed of 142 km/hr.
Chevrolet Spark has a mono frame design, which maximizes the wheelbase, and in turn improves cabin space.

Spark Interiors:
In the driver’s direct line of view, there is a semi-circular set of displays incorporating the control and warning lights.
In the center of the dashboard and slightly raised, is the instrument panel with classic-style analogue displays, easily visible to all Spark occupants. They provide information on rpm, speed and fuel level.
The odometer reading and time are displayed in digital form which means they are easy to pick out at a glance and the clever ergonomics mean you don’t have to peer through the steering wheel and take your eyes off the road. More cars should have this set-up.
For average sized people the Spark’s interior will pose no problems in the legroom department and headroom will fit for most sizes too. The seats are supportive and good for distance work. The rear seat’s backrest can be divided in the ratio 60:40 against the not folding type offered by Zen Estilo, enabling longer objects to be transported without problem. If the complete bench is flipped up, the capacity rises to an impressive 845 liters whereas the luggage space is 170litres.
Spark Safety and special features:
Anti Lock Braking System and driver-passenger airbags may not be offered in 0.8L spark and may be offered in 1Lspark as an optional one The range of safety equipment is completed by an energy-absorbing steering column, knee padding and a plastic fuel tank with a safety valve that immediately halts the fuel supply if the car turns over, thereby virtually eliminating any fire risk. Certainly it may not be the safest car but 0.8L spark will certainly score over the Maruti 800 when comes to safety. Air conditioning, power windows, power steering, remote fuel lid opener and remote tail gate opener will be offered as standard in 1L spark.

EngineeRLX means 'active intelligence' technology engine
You encounter varying driving conditions everyday. Always demanding more from your car’s engine. In terms of power efficiency, reliability and long life. Just like each driver is unique, so is each engine. The 'active intelligence' technology empowers the engine to think and operate at its best under usage condition, delivering maximum power and mileage.
It does the job of opening and closing the valves with effortless ease,delivering more power while reducing the engine work load. Because of this the engine heath up less and gets more life. Add to this the thin section low-friction piston rings reduce mechanical load, plus wear and tear. mileage from the engine. During rapid acceleration. When more power is required, injectors are pulsed in groups of two at a time. At cruise, injectors sequentially deliver fuel to the cylinders as per the firing order,thereby delivering the best of mileage. It determines the perfect time to ignite the fuel and air mixture under any condition. Instead of fixed ignition curves in normal programmed ELUs, the klil” Read the quality of fuel and your mind, changing the ignition tining accordingly to deliver perfect conlustion. Resulting is superb mileage, power and ultra low emissions
Aerodynamic Styling
The much-improved low drag co-efficient of the wind tunnel developed shape of the Santro Xing ensures maximum fuel economy while the specially designed large radiator grille and massive bumper air dam maximise airflow into the radiator, keeping the engine cool and at peak operating efficiency.
Great Ride Quality
The Santro Xing features the world class McPherson Strut Suspension with a stabilizer bar in the front and a torsion beam axle with 3-link offset coil springs and hydraulic dampers in the rear. This helps to iron out the pot-holed Indian roads with a smile. Not only that, the wider tyres give you surefootedness even on slippery surfaces.
Ventilated Disk Brakes
The Santro Xing comes equipped with larger 'Ventilated' front disc brakes. These ventilated discs, with in-built air vents along the circumference, dissipate the heat generated by braking, much faster than the conventional solid discs and enhances the life of brake pads. The ventilated discs also cool down much faster, providing solid and dependable brake performance even under the most severe traffic conditions.

Swift
Swift is the coolest car to hit Indian roads ever. The new car has given a facelift to Maruti’s image as a car maker which also cares about style and looks. Maruti Udyog Ltd (MUL), the largest car company in the country, is on an overdrive to change its image. For years it was known as a manufacturer of reliable, value for money, low cost cars, now it is adding a new dimension to its image: it can also manufacture cars which are stylish, have contemporary look and cater to the aspirations of consumers. “Swift”, Maruti’s new car to hit the Indian roads end of this month, is the beginning to this new makeover.
If you want a fun and funky new supermini, then it might be time to nip out for a suzuki Swift., buyers have a choice of two petrol engines: a
1. 90bhp 1.3-litre and
2. 100bhp 1.5-litre
with variable valve timing. Diesel powerplants has also joined the line-up this year, while all models come in five-door bodystyles.
Although the larger petrol engine's output hardly qualifies the Swift for hot hatch status, its punchy, willing performance combines with the slick-shifting five-speed manual gearbox to make the new model both engaging and enthusiastic.The steering deserves particular praise. It's direct and offers a decent amount of feel, allowing the Suzuki to be placed accurately in corners - ideal for both city and country roads. At urban speeds, the Swift's ride is quiet and easy-going.
Inside, the cabin is attractive and well built, and the high roof means there's plenty of headroom. Although the front seats are supportive and generously padded, drivers are forced to adopt an overly upright stance - blame the lack of reach adjustment on the steering wheel for that. Nor will rear passengers enjoy long trips; while there's decent room for two, the backrest is simply too soft.Luggage space in the new Swift is tight.
The flat-floored boot will swallow a decent-sized suitcase and the hold will be fine for most shopping trips, but at least one section of the 60:40 split rear bench needs folding forwards to carry anything large.Competing with the other cars of Maruti, Maruti Swift is gradually making its position in the world of mid-sized family car. Maruti Swift has come up with the special technical specifications of 16 valve 4-cylinder, 1300 cc engine generating power of solid 87bhp @ 6000 rpm.
There are four variants in this car :
Swift LXi3:
assist grips, 3 spoke urethane steering wheel, antenna, cabin light (3 position), console box (lower), cup holders (front 2, rear1), front door trim pockets, green tinted glass window, halogen headlamps, headlamp leveling device, heater and manual Air conditioning, OVRM (internally adjusted), rear fog lamps, wind screen wiper 2 speed plus 1 speed intermittent, tailgate opener key type, trip meter (digital display), sun visors (both sides), brake assist , child lock (rear door), high mounted stop lamp, power steering, rear seat belts etc. are the features available in this model.

The company has set up a 24-hour toll free numbers 1800-22-6006 & 09935066006 for its customers.
Feel the Space...
The target customer groups for the Logan are families. This necessitated the need to have much more roomy interiors. The rear seating deserves a special mention for it offers generous headroom and legroom. A unique feature of the Logan is the third head-rest for the middle occupant in the rear seat. This is the only vehicle in its segment to offer this feature. The roominess has been further enhanced by the beige interiors that give a bright and plush feel to the occupants.Another benchmark that Logan has set in its segment is the boot space it offers. With a capacity of 510 litre, the vehicle’s boot can carry luggage – big and small – and of all dimensions. The shape of the boot provides a low loading platform and is protected by the boot lining from the upper part of the rear bumper.
State of the art technologies......
At the heart of the Logan is its state-of-the-art engine. This vehicle comes equipped with three engine options – 1.4 and 1.6 petrol and a 1.5 diesel. While the 1.4 petrol engine delivers 75hp, the 1.6 performs with 84 horses the diesel sibling gives 65 hp. Both the engines are meshed with a five-speed manual gearbox.The car uses the tried & tested JH gearbox that has already proved its worth in the Renault range. Logan's torque has been greatly enhanced at low speeds by redesigning the profile of the cams. Despite its spacious dimensions, the vehicle is relatively lightweight. It complies with the emission standards in force in India and can be adapted to more stringent norms that will be applicable in future.
The power steering provides superior handling and enhances maneuverability with the help of a reduced turning radius of 5.25 metres. The driver gets an ergonomic seating position wherein he can view the display for all the data. An alphanumeric display in the centre of the dashboard brings together warning lights and data supplied by the onboard computer. The car also boasts of low NVH levels.
Latest generation diesel engine....
..The second-generation 1.5 dCi common rail diesel engine gives a performance that is yet unmatched in this segment. With the 1.5 dCi engine – a product of the Renault group’s powertrain range – Logan offers driving pleasure combined with an astounding fuel economy (14-18 km/litre). Emission levels too have been drastically reduced to 125g/km of CO2 that makes Logan highly competitive among diesel cars currently on the market. The second-generation common rail injection system developed for the 1.5 dCi is characterized by the supply of precisely the required quantity of pressurized fuel in a series of injections, improving the efficiency of combustion and saving fuel. The system also features dedicated injector calibration, enabling the injection timing and flow to be controlled for each injector individually.
Safety is the prime focus......
Logan’s engine compartment layout allows stacking of powertrain components in the event of a frontal collision. In the upper portion, the load passes through the cowl-side reinforcement, door pillars and door panels. The load in the middle part is borne by the front cross-member. The sub-frame in the lower portion of the car helps absorb energy.The central pillar protects the pelvis in the event of a side impact. The fuel tank has been placed under the floorpan to prevent being punctured in case of a collision from the rear. A cross-member in the back of the rear bench seat restricts the danger of objects in the boot entering the cabin.Internally the dashboard is made of polypropylene that is effective in absorbing high energies. The glove compartment and rest of the lower part of the dashboard are designed to reduce impact on the legs and ankles of the front occupants.Style exemplifiedLogan's exterior design is clearly highlighted by accented wheel arches and sleek body sides and bonnet. The rear lamp clusters, set at an angle, smooth out the car's structured edges. The Renault badge is placed prominently on the grille, with headlamps that give a sharp look to the vehicle.
Robustness and reliability,.....
The Logan project did not compromise on reliability and durability. Concerning engines, both petrol and diesel engines had already proved their worth in the Renault range. In addition, Logan underwent stringent tests covering a very wide variety of driving conditions to ensure real durability, with particular attention paid to protecting the bodywork. This was done by injecting wax into the box sections, systematic application of sealant on the external cabin joints and reinforced underbody anti-chip protection. Logan has been adapted to suit the Indian driving conditions.

Tata Indigo
THE INEXPENSIVE, SPACIOUS AND FUEL EFFICIENT INDIGO IS A BRILLIANT ENTRY-LEVEL FAMILY SALOON BUT FOR TOUGH PEOPLE'S..
Whether it's because of 'prestige' connotations, additional boot space, or simply the desire to own a car that's bigger than the one in our neighbour's garage, three-box saloons are a big hit with us. Especially if they are reasonably- priced, cheap to run, and big on cabin space. Enter the Tata Indigo. We aren't saying it's the last word in refi nement, style, or driving dynamics. However, there's no getting away from the fact that the Indigo offers maximum bang for your buck. What matters here is cabin space, fuel economy and ride comfort, and the Indigo is strong on all those fronts.
Two engine options are available - a 1400cc (petrol) inline-four that makes 86PS and 110Nm of torque, and a 1400cc (diesel) that produces 63PS and 125Nm of torque. The petrol is quicker and faster, getting from zero to 100km/h in 16 seconds (19.5 seconds for the diesel) and hitting a top speed of 158km/h (154km/h for the diesel.) But as you can see, the difference isn't much, and given that diesel is much cheaper than petrol, most Indigo buyers opt for the diesel version, especially given that the diesel car does about 19kmpl to the petrol's 14.5kmpl. The diesel variant is about a lakh of rupees more expensive than the petrol version, but still outsells the latter by a large margin.
The Indigo, an indigenous effort from Tata, deserves to be lauded for what it is - a sensible, inexpensive, entry-level family saloon, which offers above-average space and ride comfort in its segment, and one that's relatively cheap to run and heavy on pocket to maintain.
