We have heard of Hyundai’s i10 and i20 cars, but don’t be surprised where this i15 came from. Hyundai is testing a car in between i10 and i20 to give its customers more options in its small car portfolio.
The i15 car is remote to Indian entry but since it is found testing in Brazil and since Brazil and India are grouped as developing markets, its launched in India cannot be ruled out.
From the spy pictures it looks like the i15 is the bigger brother of the HA small car developed for India. We had earlier published couple of spy pictures of the Hyundai HA small car being tested near Chennai. The HA will bear a 814cc, 3 cylinder petrol engine and is likely to be priced at Rs. 2.5 lakh to compete against the Maruti Alto.
This seems to be a premature question as Honda has not yet launched the Brio hatchback in India. But according to PaulTan.org a sedan version of Honda Brio is expected to make it appearance in the next two years. The rendered picture of the Brio sedan has been published in the PaulTan.org and we feel the rendered picture could beat all the cars in its segment in terms of the design.
The Brio sedan could be a possibility as Honda shares platforms for its cars, like – Honda City and Jazz, Honda Civic and CR-V shares platforms. All is good for Honda unless a diesel engine is present in its portfolio. We had earlier mentioned about a small diesel engine being developed for the Civic sedan. If Honda can develop a small diesel engine like they have done for the petrol one, Honda could be invincible in the World automotive scene.
The good old Ambassador is not coming in a new Avatar, a compact version. Hindustan Motors has chopped off the rear end of the Ambassador to make it come under 4 meter mark to be eligible for small car norm.
The chopped off rear boot as you can see in the picture could still have space for big baggage. The Ambassador is powered by a 1.5L diesel engine which produces 35 .5 Bhp of power and 13.7 Kgm of torque. The Ambassador Compact is expected in the early January 2012. Will this trick work for the ailing Hindustan Motors? Let’s wait and see.
