Honda plans to introduce CNG variant of City by Diwali

     Honda City was once the segment benchmark car in C Segment. As we have told many times, a lack of diesel option from Honda has made the City the biggest casualty in its portfolio of cars. Honda is now planning to roll out a CNG variant of City to boost its sale. This seems to be a temporary answer by Honda to attract customers till it fits a brand new diesel motor in the City.

     According to sources Honda has been working on the CNG variant of City for some time. The suspension of the car has been strengthened as the CNG tank will be housed in the boot of the car. Also some minor changes to the engine has been done in line with the requirements of a CNG car. The instruement cluster will also show some changes to reflect the CNG requirements.

     The CNG City is likely to be introduced by Diwali. Expect the CNG variant of City to be costlier by Rs 50,000 compared to the petrol car. 

Suzuki S-Cross Concept, will it replace the aging SX4?

     Suzuki will display its new S-Cross Concept at the Paris Motor Show this September. No much details are available but from the official sketch and teaser it looks to be a C Segment cross over and might replace the aging SX4.

     Seen from the sketch, teh S-Cross Concept resembles the Kizashi concept from the front. The teaser image shows the protective body moulding and skid plate under the car’s front, but nothing can be confirmed till we see the production version.

      Suzuki badly needs a SX4 replacement, expecially in Inida. The new enternts like Fluidic Verna, Volkswagen Vento, Nissan Sunny and soon to be launched Renault Scala have almost pushed the SX4 to the sideline. Suzuki also need a bigger diesel engine for its future SX4 and we hope with the new concept Suzuki might as well develop its own 1.6L diesel motor!

Maruti launches Limited Edition Wagon R Pro

     Maruti Suzuki has launched yet another Limited Edition car in the form of Wagon R Pro. The Limited Edition Wagon R Pro comes loaded with 13 accessories and is priced at Rs. 4.50 lakh On-road New Delhi. This is a smart way from Maruti to push Wagon R sales which has been hit by the high petrol price.

     
     The Wagon R Pro is basically the Wagon R LXi with 13 accessories added. The added accessories on the Wagon R Pro are Double din stereo with USB connectivity, Floor mats, Rear spoiler, Car perfume, Bumper protection rubber strips, Wheel covers, Side moulding, 4 Speakers, Body graphics, Seat covers, Security system, Steering wheel cover and Spoiler paint.

     The accessories are worth Rs. 30,000. Maruti is also offereing a 32 inch Sony Bravia LCD television worth Rs. 22,000 free to all Wagon R buyers. Customers can avail cash discount if they do not wish to go for the TV. An additional cash discount of Rs. 11,000 is also available on the Wagon R. This makes the effective price of the Wagon R to Rs. 4.17 lakh (On-Road, New Delhi).

New Toyota Camry launched in India, priced at Rs. 23. 8 Lakhs

     Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd. today launched the 7th Generation Camry in India priced at Rs. 23.8 lakh ex-showroom, New Delhi. The new Camry was spied some days ago while undergoing test run on Bangalore roads.

     Unlike the last generation Camry, the 7th Generation Camry will be assembled in India. The rupee depreciation and duty increase prometed Toyota to assemble the car in India. Toyota’s Bidadi plant becomes the 10th plant to manufacture the legendary Camry.

     The Camry has been a highly successful vehicle for Toyota. The Camry was first launched in Japan way back in 1982 and made its Indian debut in 2002. Since then 6500 units of Camry has hit Indian roads. Worldwide over 14 million Camrys has been sold and along with Corolla, Camry constitutes 60% of total Toyota sales.

     The major makets for Camry is the US and Middle East followed by Japan and Australia. However, the Camry could not make good sales in India, thanks to its high price. With the price of around Rs. 30 lakh, Camry lost its pace to Mercedes C Class, BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Indian customers preferred German luxury brands rather than bland and bulky looking Camry. But things might change now as the Camry is assembled in India and hence will cost less compared to the previous model.

     The new Camry is powered by a new 2.5 liter petrol engine which produces 181 Ps @ 6000 rpm of power and 233 Nm @4100 rpm of torque. The engine is mated to a 6 Speed Automatic gearbox (Sequential shift). The new engine is more powerful and fuel efficient than the old 2.4L petrol engine. Currenty Toyota has no plans to launch a diesel powered Camry in India.

     The Camry is offered in 4 colour shades - Beige metallic, Attitude black, White pearl crystal shine and Silver metallic. Test drives and booking for the car begin from today at all Toyota dealerships.
