Renault introduces Kwid 1.0 with a bigger and powerful engine

        Renault India today introduced a bigger capacity engined Kwid with a starting price of Rs. 3.82 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. The new Kwid 1.0 as it is called is powered by a more powerful 999cc 3 cylinder petrol engine with power output of 68 Ps and torque of 91 Nm. The old 799 cc petrol motor had figures of 54 Ps and 72 Nm.

        The Kwid 1.0 is only available in RxT and RxT (O) trims and costs Rs. 22,000 more than Kwid 0.8L RxT trim. The bigger engine however brings the fuel efficiency low with the Kwid 1.0 delivering 23.01 Km for a liter of petrol.

        The Kwid 1.0 gets black and white chequered decal with ‘1.0’ lettering on the side profile. An all new gloss grey ORVM looks fantastic on the car. Currently the Kwid 1.0 is mated to a 5 speed manual transmission but an AMT version is around the corner to be launched soon.

Skoda Kodiaq prototype spied in motion

        Czech Republic auto major Skoda Auto has released a video of its full sized SUV Kodiaq in motion, though with heavy camouflage. The Kodiaq SUV which is Skoda’s first ever full sized SUV will debut at 2016 Paris Motor Show.

        Built on VW MQB platform Kodiaq will share components with the new VW Tiguan. Skoda’s famous sedan Superb is also built on the same VW MQB platform. A 2.0 L TSI petrol and TDI diesel will power the Kodiaq and a plug-in hybrid version will also find its place sometime later.

        The Skoda Kodiaq concept was shown at Geneva Motor Show in March this year in the form of Skoda VisionS concept. The VisionS concept featured angular design styling heavily inspired by the Superb - especially the headlamps and taillights.

The Most Popular and Prominent Auto Shows in Las Vegas

High-profile casinos and classic cars have become somewhat synonymous with each other. On one hand, you have timeless establishments that highlight the glitz and glamor of modern pastimes. On the other, you have engineering marvels fit for the rich and famous. Las Vegas owns a distinctive appeal that lures an array of people, personalities, and interests through its gates. This is just one of the many reasons why the city is popularly described as “The Entertainment Capital of the World.”

Whether its land-based establishments or its online counterparts, casinos – just like automobiles – will always be associated with Sin City. These days, the Internet has become a viable option for gaming aficionados that want to get a quick fix. Companies, in the same mold as UK-based casino platform Pocketfruity, even offer a 100 percent first deposit bonus upon joining, which is why they have impacted the industry so successfully of late. However, Las Vegas staples such as Caesars Palace and the Orleans Arena have seen how integrating cars and casinos, to come up with popular events that welcome enthusiasts from across America and all over the world, have proved to be money-spinners in their own right.

With that, here are two of the most popular, prominent auto shows in Las Vegas:

The Exotic Car Show

Caesars Palace has been dubbed the “Home of Champions” because of sporting events such as The Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame Annual Induction Dinner and Ceremony. But for genuine automobile lovers, the establishment is known as the site of The Exotic Car Show. The occasion showcases the power and the style of luxury car brands including Lamborghini, Bentley, and Ferrari. Wide-eyed fans gather inside a two-story, 26,000-square-foot showroom looking on in awe at the best of the best, while the affluent actually go in there to buy them.

The Viva Las Vegas Car Show

The Viva Las Vegas Car Show isn’t proclaimed “the best car show of its type anywhere” for nothing, as it features immortal masterpieces from the golden age of automobiles. This three-day affair in April takes in more than 20,000 aficionados from around the country at a massive fenced parking lot adjacent to The Orleans Arena. Over 800 registered cars from the pre-1963 era are presented throughout the program, including nostalgic Hot Rods, old-school racecars, and even period-correct motorcycles. Furthermore, the Viva Las Vegas Car Show has music performances from rockabilly and rock ‘n’ roll bands, as well as from celebrated DJs.

Maruti to launch Alto 800 facelift in 2nd week of May

          India’s largest selling car Maruti Alto 800 is getting its first facelift after its launch in 2012. The spy pictures of Alto 800 facelift have surfaced in the internet and show the car to be already in the dealer stockyard. Sources say the Alto 800 facelift will be launched in 2nd week of May.

Pic source: Gaadiwaadi.com

          Inspite of its odd design Maruti Alto 800 continued the legacy of its predecessor, the legendary Maruti 800. Competitive price, low maintenance cost, peppy engine and being a Maruti made the new Alto 800 the largest selling car in India with over 25,000 cars sold a month. But the dominance of Alto 800 has a new challenge from Renault Kwid and soon to be launched Datsun Redi-go both aim to cut across Alto 800 sales.

          The Alto 800 facelift features a redesigned headlamp and bumper with broad hexagonal airdam. There is a slot for fog lamps as well which is missing in present alto. The rear features no changes and so do the interiors. Expect to get new fabric on the seats in the facelifted version.

Maruti Alto 800 fact sheet:

Length: 3395 mm

Width: 1490 mm

Height: 1475 mm

Wheelbase: 2360 mm

Ground Clearance: 160 mm

Kerb Weight: 725 Kg

Turning Radius: 4.6 meters

All these parameters are not going to be changed in the Alto 800 facelift

          With Renault Kwid sales increasing and soon to be launch Datsun Redi-go aimed directly at Alto 800, a facelift was very much expected and Maruti is wisely launching the Alto 800 facelift before the official delivery of Datsun Redi-go which will happen in the first week of June.

          According to some random sources Maruti is developing a new Alto 800 model which will have better design elements than the current one. And the most interesting thing is it will come with a 2 cylinder diesel motor which was indeed need for the segment. Who else other than Maruti understands the Indian car market better?
