BS Motoring has posted a teaser image of the Force One SUV. From the picture the Force One SUV does not look familiar to the Guangdong Foday Explorer III. We guess Force Motors could have done some facelift jon on the SUV.
Maruti R3 details rendering
In our earlier post we had showed some spy pictures of Maruti R3 MPV being tested in India. India’s leading auto magazine Autocarindia has come up with couple of renderings which looks very similar to the actual vehicle as seen from the spy pictures.
The R3 MPVs wheelbase has been stretched which is 38 mm longer than the Ritz. The vehicle’s length is 4265mm which is well over the stipulated small car norms in India and hence will not get the subsidy as expected. An all new K series petrol engine of 1372 cc has been developed which has 95 Bhp of power and 13 Kg of torque. The 1.3L DDiS turbo diesel of SX4 will also find the place under the hood.

More details emerge on Mahindra mini Xylo
We know our fellow blogger Indianautosblog brings us the latest information but this time they have gone a step beyond. The blog has mentioned inside details of the Mahindra mini Xylo which they was given to them by a useful source.
The Mahindra mini Xylo features
1) A stop start mechanism
2) 5+2 seat configuration, the rear 2 seats being too small
3) 3 cyclinder engine with 70 Bhp power and 160 Nm torque
4) No roof mounted AC
5) 205/65/R15 tyres
6) Aircraft like trays on seat backs
7) Spare wheel on the rear door
The interior space of the mini Xylo seams to beat any of the C segment cars. If priced around Rs 5-6 lakh, it will give serious dent to the entry level C segment sedans.

Toyota Fortuner facelift will look like this
The picture below shows how the facelifted Fortuner would look. The picture actually is the facelift of the Hilux pick up truck which shares the same platform with that of Fortuner. Many fellow bloggers posted the spy picture of the facelited Fortuner some days ago.
The new look will enhance the appeal of the SUV. The changes are likely in the rear as well but nothing to expect in the interiors and under the hood. The facelifted Fortuner in India? We guess Toyota will drag it for an year to do so.
