NEW MARUTI 800

Maruti 800 which use to 1st car of people is going to change it design ,style and looks or we can say it is going to have makeover.acc to rumour it is going to have looks similar to the Japanese Suzuki Cervo which is the latest small car recently launched in Japan.
THe new 800 is going to be the sporty and agressive exteriors and the classy bcoz the Cervo is a compact five door mini, that looks to put the other kids on the block into the shade.
This sleeky cute car offers 54bhp 660cc engine that boasts to offer peppy performance with great fuel economy.
Suzuki believes that they can price the car in the same amount given by Tata, they can do this by deleting some of the stuff available in the car, or by using a cheaper material to make it cost less, but, we doubt that Suzuki will use such cheap material so long as price is considered. There is going to be a lot of competition between these two in the below 800cc category.

outlooks
From the outside the Cervo looks like the Honda Fit. The lines and cuts of the car are neat and classy and the clean blacky covering at the end of the windows are cleverly made so as not to see too many holes.The headlights seem too agressive and getting ready to vrroomm and seems confident, well we can hope it really does. The Small mini SUV looks at the back, with an arching roofline, wedgy stance, slanted headlights and stubby bonnet makes out a new shape of itself and bound to be a great car if its priced is good and if its at 1L, it will be crazy selling.The rear is equally attractive as the front end of the Cervo is. The large lamps add appeal and character to the rear of this Suzuki.


Interiors
The interiors of this car somewhat looks like that of the much popular Swift. The rectangular air vents in the center and the circle open closed ones on the sides dont look even and looks a bit uneven. the colors of the controls lights up the dash. The boot is very small, but for daily shopping and office stuffs its just OK.

Seats at the back can seat only two and the third one can cramp up the place. A lot of storage areas are available to keep stuff in the front and find little at the back. Power Windows are airbags are available in the international markets but we doubt that it will come to India at that cost atleast airbags as an option would be better to make the car safe. In the outside markets this car is equipped with front semi-bucket seats,
4-speed auto gearbox a K6A DOHC engine with VVT, bluetooth capability.

Rumours suggest the new car to be launched sometime next year. If the pics on the google search is true, thats an awesome revamp to an 800. and Cars like these will be a success in India if they are priced well with high profile, the sporty and agressive exteriors and the classy and swifty interiors are bound to make the young gens and the ladies to force their cash out, the Suzuki's bet of combining performance with FE, this car will be a hit in Indian roads.

FORD FUSION DIESEL...

FORD FUSION DIESEL IS A SMALL CAR as Ford India launches diesel version of `Fusion' with length and engine capacity
matching that of a small carFord India launched a diesel variant of `Fusion'. Ford Fusion has a 1.4 litre Duratorq engine.
and Fusion variants are priced at Rs 6.2 lakh and Rs 6.95 lakhIs it a hatch? Is it an SUV? No, it’s the new Ford Fusion, which combines different talents to create a new superhatch.
But is it a hero or the Car from the Black Lagoon.This is Ford’s idea of the perfect family car.
The company has been able to avail of the differential excise duty applicable to small cars by reducing the length of Ford Fusion below 4 metres and keeping the engine capacity at less than 1.5 litres. Ford Fusion is the first car from Ford's portfolio to be classified as a small car.. A 5 speed manual transmission is made use of to transmit the power to the wheels.

The Fusion’s engine meets the Bharat Stage III emission norms.

Swift diesel

The Swift diesel has everything it takes — powerful and refined engine, high fuel efficiency and low NVH — to leave the competition standing.Introductory price for Swift Diesel is 4.68 lakh ex-showroom Delhi for the base version. The car is available for sale in two versions, LDi and VDi which are quite equivalent to LXi and VXi respectively in terms of features provided.

Maruti Swift Diesel has got a 1.3 liter (1248cc), multi-injection, DOHC DDiS engine which produces 76ps of power and 190Nm of torque. To me, as of now, engine seems good enough. I hope noise-level would be quite low and fuel efficiency would be good enough. Dimensions of Swift Diesel are exactly same as Swift Petrol, however, weight has gone up by approx 85 kgs. I couldn’t find any difference in features provided in similar Petrol and Diesel versions. The only apparent addition in features-list seems to be Immobilizer. Those who prefer safety and luxury, might be disappointed considering the fact that there is no Diesel version equivalent to ZXi. In nutshell, no airbags, alloy wheels, climate control or keyless entry for Swift Diesel!
The steering system is analogous to indica v2 and has a turning radius of about 4.7m. The product comes with P-EPS electronic power steering i.e. steering is assisted by electronic system hence demands lesser effort to negotiate a turn. The swift petrol version has some problems with its steering i.e. you have to pull it suddenly as it is loose in straight ahead position while taking a turn. Hope this will be fixed in this version (check it wile you test drive).
Front brakes are ventilated disc type and rear one is drum.

Generally petrol fonder are frustrated of diesel because of its higher maintenance cost, it is expensive relative to petrol version and because of its noise and poor resale value. Common rail direct injection (CRDi) claims to resolve some of the problems, swift diesel is using that technology. So the specifications are here and we will decrypt it and find what we can expect from it.Maruti had already experimented Zen and esteem diesel but it failed hence all its diesel future lies in swift and it hopes for the best.
Also there is a fear that it will eat swift petrol sales. We will wait to see whether swift will do another swift for Maruti.But it has already sold over 60000 units since its launch making Maruti an invincible player in compact car segment.

HYUNDAI HYBRID CAR

HYUNDAI plans to introduce an Elantra LPG (liquid petroleum gas) hybrid sedan in 2009 followed by a gasoline hybrid version by 2010, The report claims that the Elantra(AVANTEIN KOREA) LPG model will be the first South Korean hybrid car.

The Elantra LPG hybrid will combine an engine capable of running on LPG with an electric motor. Hyundai claims that the car will use only 30% of the fuel consumed by the existing model and will have a fuel efficiency of 19-20km/l. Moreover, LPG costs half the price of gasoline in the local market, the OEM said.

The report also claims that Hyundai will suspend production of the hybrid versions of the Verna and the Pride, test models of which are currently being used by the government.

Hyundai will begin commercial production of the Elantra hybrid in 2009, gradually increasing production to 20,000 units by 2010, 100,000 by 2012 and 300,000 by 2015.

Hyundai plans to release the LPG hybrid before a gasoline hybrid due to the LPG distribution infrastructure already being in place in South Korea and to benefit from government incentives.

The report claims that the subsidies will reduce the price of a Honda Civic Hybrid from Won 33.9m (US$36,534) to less than Won 30m (US$32,331).

Currently, the Lexus RX 400h and the Honda Civic Hybrid are the only hybrid cars available in South Korea.
