Hyundai Grand i10 Petrol and Diesel launched in India

Hyundai today launched the next generation i10 named Grand i10 at New Delhi. The Grand i10 is available in both petrol and diesel variants and will be sold along with the current model. It will be placed in between the current i10 and i20 in terms of hierarchy.

The Hyundai Grand i10 is bigger than the current model. In fact the wheelbase of the Grand i10 is 100 mm longer than the Euro spec model which will be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week. Design wise the Grand i10 has nothing much to talk about. There is change in headlamp and tail lamp designs outside and an all new dashboard in the interior.

The most interesting part of the Grand i10 is it comes in two fuel options – Petrol and Diesel. Till now i10 was available in only petrol variant and a diesel option now widens the range of i10 buyers. The diesel engine in the Grand i10 is 1.1L CRDi 3 cylinder engine, which is basically the scaled down version of i20s 1.4L CRDi. The engine could manage to deliver good fuel efficiency of about 24 Kmpl.

The changes will not be just in the exterior. There will be also some changes in the dashboard and seats as they were also covered in the spy photo vehicle. Mahindra might also work on the  mileage, power and sound insulation and improve the current vehicle as seen in the updated XUV 500.

Nissan Terrano clear picture surfaces

Nissan Terrano has been caught in flesh, couple of days before its launch. The two Nissan Terranos seen in the picture below bears a new front and rear end which differentiates it from the Renault Duster.

The Nissan Terrano is not just a cosmetic make up of Duster. There are some sheet metal changes also to make the car look more premium. There is new headlamp, Nissan’s trademark grill, new bumper, tailgate mounted tail lamps and blackened pillars. New set of alloys can also be seen. Nissan has also tweaked the interiors suit to suit the premium segment.  

The Nissan Terrano will use the same 1.5L diesel and 1.6L petrol engine of the Duster. Like its other models Nissan is likely to bring Terrano in XE, XL and XV variants. 

Maruti Dzire new TV commercial coming up

Today we came across the shooting of new TV commercial of Maruti Suzuki Dizre in Bangalore. The shooting was taking place at Bangalore University’s Janabharathi campus. The newly layed tar road and greenery around has prompted the TVC directors to choose the spot.

We managed to get just a glimpse of the shooting place with our phone camera as the road was jammed with ongoing vehicles. The authorities had tough time to manage the vehicles, stopping at both ends of the roads, so that the TV commercial take place.

Two blue Maruti Dzire cars were found. One car was behind a black Merc SUV mounted with a camera and the other parked at the other end. We hope much more TV commercials takes place at the campus and we would capture more images and videos as its the routine way we travel.
