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.

Next Generation Audi Q7 spied testing in India
Barely 15 days
after Audi released the pictures of next generation Audi Q7, a test mule has
been spotted in India amid heavy camouflage. Audi will officially launch the
new Q7 at Detroit Motor Show in March 2015 and will be in Indian showrooms by
middle of 2015.
The next
generation Audi Q7 is less bulky and more squarish with bold straight lines
flowing through the body. Audi Q7 retains its muscular look with its bulging
wheel arches, a highlight of the current Q7 as well. There is new front grill
which has been slightly redesigned and is in line with the latest Audi Q3.
Tata Kite hatch spied up close
Tata Kite front
end shows headlamps which are large and tapered at the ends. The headlamps look
good on the car with wraparound effect going up to the front fender. The honeycomb
grill can also be made out from the picture.
In the rear there
are no tall tail lamps as seen in Indica cars. Instead the Kite gets a
wraparound taillamps which look similar to that of the Zest sedan. The car
seams to be proportiante in its dimensions.

VW Jetta 2015 facelift spied in India
Volkswagen
had showcased Jetta facelift at New York International Auto Show is April 2014.
Now the spy pictures of the Jetta facelift has been spotted on Indian roads.
The 2015 Jetta facelift will be launched in India by September 2015.
The
Jetta facelift features some changes in the exterior and interiors as well. In
the front there is slightly redesigned grill and bumper. There is new set of
fog lamps which are rectangular in shape as compared to circular ones in the
current Jetta. The taillamp portion on the boot has been redesigned which now looks
more like the Audis.
Apart
from there minor changes there be no changes in the mechanicals. The new VW
Jetta 2015 will be powered by the same 1.4 L TSI and 2.0 diesel engines.

Maruti Ertiga LUV facelift spied
Maruti Suzuki
Ertiga is getting a facelift in India and here are the first spy pictures of
the MUV (LUV), thanks to Gaadiwaadi.com. The facelfited Ertiga will be launched early
next year.
Maruti Ertiga
has been getting stiff competition from newly launched Honda Mobilio. Also plans
of entering of new manufactures in the segment have further heated up the
competition. Renault and Datsun are planning to launch a MPV in Indian market
soon. Toyota is coming up with new Innova and since the Ertiga was basically
launched as a low cost alternative to Innova, it makes sense to give a facelift
make the MUV look fresh and elegant.
The Ertiga
facelift will get some aesthetic changes in the form of redesigned bumper and
grill, new set of alloy wheels and some interior changes to make it look
attractive. Certain features could also be carried from the newly launched
Swift, like push button start etc.
There will not
be any major changes under the hood. The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga will be continued
to be powered with the same 1.4L K Series petrol with 95 Ps power and 130Nm torque
and the 1.3L DDiS diesel with 90 Ps power and 200 Nm of torque. There is
expected to be minor changes in the gear ratios that will help in improving
fuel efficiency.
Honda CB Unicorn 160 spied during TV commercial shoot
The bike has the familiar telescopic fort in the front and monoshock in the rear as suspension setups. Break systems include a standard front disc and an optional rear disc.
While Yamaha FZ FI2.0 and Suzuki Gixxer bet on the muscular looks, the CB Unicorn 160 will rely on the comfort and cost. The CB Unicorn 160 will be launched in early 2015 and is expected to be priced between Rs. 70,000 to 80,000.

Scoop: Suzuki YRA hatchback spied with little camouflage
Suzuki is
developing a bigger hatchback than Swift for India as well as international
markets. The test mule has been spied many times in Europe with heavy camouflage.
Now, pictures of the car with little camouflage have surfaced on the net.
It is evident
from the pictures that, Suzuki YRA hatchback has dimensions bigger than the
Swift. The front end though resembles the Swift (because of headlamp design),
YRA hatchback features a new grill inspired by Nissan. The side profile reminds
us of yet another Suzuki hatchback S-Cross, where as the rear end seams to be
all new design from Suzuki. Thought not pretty enough, the rear end gives a broad
bold look to the car.
Interior
pictures show an all new dashboard design. The massive boot offers luggage
space that will shy any mid size sedan. More details from the hood is still
remote. Suzuki might ponk in its 1.5L diesel which is almost in its final stage
of development.
When launched
in India by around 2016, YRA hatch will compete with Hyundai Elite i20 and soon
to be launched new Honda Jazz. With the dimensions of YRA, it will surely be
miles ahead of its competitors as far as space and comfort is concerned.
Mahindra P601 pick up mini truck spied, to feature dumbbell shaped headlamp
Mahindra is
testing its P601 pick up mini truck in and around Chennai where it has its
R&D facility (Mahindra Research Valley). From the latest spy pictures we
see dumbbell shaped headlamps which look cute on this mini truck.
Looking by the
size of the vehicle it might be positioned between Gio and Maxximmo mini truck.
It will have payload capacity of 600-700Kg. A rumour of two wheel bases of the vehicle
is going around which means the payload can be increased to 1 ton also.
Mahindra P601
will compete with Tatas range of mini trucks which has seen huge success in
this segment.
Datsun Go+ spied in India
Barely 6 month after the launch of Datsun Go hatchback in India, has its bigger cousin Go+ MPV been spied in India near Nissan factory in Chennai. Earlier, at the Auto Expo 2014, Datsun had announced the launch of its second model for India in the form of Go+ MPV by this year end.
The Datsun Go+ MPV is built on Go hatchback platform which in turn is based on Nissan Micra platform. Go+ MPV with its 1.2L engine and length of under 4 meters qualifies for small car norms and hence will get excise duty of only 8%. This makes Datsun Go+ MPV to be the first MPV coming in the small car category.

Fiat Punto facelift spied in India
A test mule of Fiat Punto facelift
was spied near its factory at Ranjangaon. As seen from the picture, the Punto
facelift features a redesigned headlamp, front and rear bumpers and a new set
of fog lamps.
This is the first major facelift
for Punto in India since its launch. Fiat has been struggling right from the
beginning to make a mark in India. Though being a good car Fiat Punto has lost
its ground to its rivals Swift, i20 and Figo. Fiat last year decided to go solo
in their dealer network, ending a long partnership stint with Tata Motors.
Apart from exterior changes there
could be minimal changes inside. The new dashboard from Linea could be a
possibility in the Punto, but do not think of any changes under the hood. Fiat
might carry on with the current 1.2L & 1.4L petrol and 1.3L diesel engines.
Renault Master people carrier spied in India
Renault’s people carrier ‘Master’ MPV has been spied in India amid heavy camouflage. The vehicle was spied during its test run in Pune. Though the vehicle has been covered extensively, the front end reveals it to be the Renault Master MPV. Notice the left hand drive position of the vehicle.
Will this means Renault is planning to launch a MPV in India? Certainly no. It is the Tata Motors which has flown down a test vehicle to India for preliminary testing. To remind our readers, Tata Motors has launched Winger MPV which is basically the older generation Renault Trafic. Tata Motors has bought the royalty and dyes to produce and sell Renault Trafic in the name of Tata Winger in India.
As like the Winger, Tata Motors is testing the possibility of buying and bringing older generation Renault Master and launch it with a new name here. Since Master is a luxury people carrier, it will be positioned above Winger catering to luxury mass transportation.
Tata Winger is powered by a 2 liter 90 Bhp diesel engine and we guess the company has two other engine options for Master MPV – the 3.0 liter 70/85 Ps engine of Sumo Gold or the modern 2.2 liter 140Ps VariCOR engine of Safari. Like for Winger, Tata Motors will only import the dyes and mechanicals of Master MPV and not its engine as it would be a costly affair.
Stay tuned for more updates on Renault Master based Tata’s new luxury people carrier.
Datsun Go hatchback spied on Indian roads
The Datsun brand was revived by
unveiling of GO hatchback in July this year. The prototype of the car has been
spied in Chennai doing testing rounds.
As seen in the pictures, the Datsun logo and GO monogram has only been covered unlike other test mules which have their whole body covered. That is because the car has been officially unveiled and the unveiled car is the production model and not a concept car.
Datsun GO is slated for launch
early 2014. Probably the car will be launched at Auto Expo 2014 being held in February
2014. Built on the Nissan Micra’s ‘V’
platform, the Datsun GO is aimed to cater to the lower end of the car
market. It is likely to be priced at around Rs. 4 lakh and will compete with
Maruti Wagon R, Hyundai i10 and Chevrolet Beat.
Datsun GO will be powered by the
same 1.2L petrol engine which powers the Micra and Pulse. However it is likely
to be tuned for more fuel efficiency and anything around 20Kmpl is what can be
expected from the engine. After its Indian launch, Datsun GO will be launched
in Indonesia, Russia and South Africa.
Tata Indica Vista facelift spied now at Coimbatore
We had posted earlier about a facelift
for the Tata Indica Indica Vista. Now more spy pictures of the Inidca Vista
facelift has appeared on the net, thanks to Motor
Vikatan for posting the pictures on his facebook page. The car with heavy camouflage
was found testing at Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.
What we see from the spy pictures
is the covering up of the tall tail lamps and only half of its portion
uncovered. Will this mean the tall charismas tree tail lamps will give way to a
new design? We and almost all the online motoring journos think so. Tata Motors
might ditch the Christmas tree tail lamps and will design a new one, which
could extend to the tail gate. Also seen is the number plate moving up from the
bumper to the tail gate.
Though not much could be seen on
the front end, according to sources, the Indica Vista facelift is likely to get
a new grill inspired by Manza Hybrid concept shown at 2012 Auto Show. More
angular air dams and fog lamp slits is likely to make the Vista facelift more
appealing.
Powering the new Vista facelift
will be the same 1.3L Quadrajet engine. But a 3 cylinder 1.1L developed in
house from Tata Motors might make its debut here. As the 2014 Auto Expo is
nearing, hope to see the new Vista facelift in flesh very soon.
Honda Mobilio spied on road in Indonesia
Honda
Mobilio was unveiled at Indonesian Motor Show last week and guess what? a
production mule has been spotted on Indonesian roads, thanks to AutonetMagz.com
for getting the spy photo of Mobilio on the roads.
As the
mule has been found on the road, probably for testing, the things have been
moving fast at Honda. The Mobilio is expected to be launched early next year in
Indonesia and soon will be followed by its Indian launch.
Honda Mobilio details:
- 4.4 meters in length
- Ground clearance of 185 mm
- Wheelbase of 2650mm
- 1.5L petrol i-VTEC engine with an optional
automatic transmission in Indonesia. Indian model could come in both
petrol and diesel.
- Interiors same as that of Brio and Amaze
- Third row could be the best in the competiton.
- Could be priced around Rs. 10 lakh in India.
Honda
Mobilio along with Datsun GO+ MPV will be good competitors for Maruti Ertiga
which has been the leader in the segment.
Next Generation Maruti A Star spied in India
2014 Maruti A Star to debut 800cc diesel engine in India.
The next generation Maruti A Star
has been spied testing in Gurgaon India. The new Maruti A Star codename
‘YL7’ had already been spied in southern Europe some time ago.
Thanks to Vipin of Team-Bhp.com for bringing us the spy photo.
The ‘YL7’ is Suzuki’s global
model likely to replace A Star and Ritz. Since Ritz is doing well in India,
Maruti Suzuki might keep the Ritz along with the new A Star. Possibly the
company had intensions to replace the existing A Star and Estilo with the ‘YL7’
model and hence stopped the production of Estilo. The sales of A Star is not
too good and don’t be surprised to hear about axing A Star very soon.
The big thing about next
generation A-Star/’YL7’ is that Maruti’s might bring in the 800cc 2 cylinder
diesel engine with this model. Currently development of the small 800cc engine
is going on and according to sources company aims at achieving record breaking
fuel efficiency of 30 Kmpl.
The next generation A Star will
make its appearance at the Auto Expo 2014 held in January 2014 at New Delhi.
