New Honda CR-V to be launched on 12th February, to cost less

Next Generation Honda CR-V 2013 launch in India with less cost than the current model.

Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) are known for their bulky look, ruggedness and off-road capabilities with driving dynamics and comfort as a last option. But the Honda CR-V SUV has a different definition. The CR-V might look like an SUV, but in terms of driving and handling, it makes the best of the luxury cars shy away with it. No wonder Politian in Karnataka prefer CR-Vs to any luxury car. The creature comfort in a CR-V is almost next to none in its segment.

We all know Honda has launched the fourth generation CR-V in international markets and will soon launch it in India as well. The spy pictures of the new CR-V have been published in the web during its test runs around Noida. The good news is that Honda will launch the new CR-V 2013 in India on 12th of February 2013. In fact Honda’s Indian website has already updated the CR-V page with the new vehicle’s pictures.


The fourth generation Honda CR-V 2013 SUV, though some call it as a crossover will be launched in India with much lower price than the current model. The new Honda CR-V 2013 will be assembled in India unlike the currently model which was imported as Completely Built Unit from Japan and hence commanded extra tax duties. Assembling the new Honda CR-V 2013 in India helps Honda cuts cost which can be passed on to the customers. The current CR-V is selling at Rs. 28 lakh and we expect the new one will be priced around Rs. 20 to 22 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi). The new Honda CR-V 2013 will be assembled at Honda’s Noida plant.

The new Honda CR-V will come with 2 engine options. A 2.0L 153 Bhp i-VTEC engine will power the 2WD models and the bigger 2.4L 185 Bhp will do the duty on the All Wheel Drive (AWD) model. Honda will retain the 6 speed manual and 5 speed automatic gearbox on the new CR-V as well. The new Honda CR-V features as improved suspension system and full length under body tray from low NVH levels. The vehicle is expected to be priced between Rs. 20 – 22 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi).

No diesel option

Now the big question is, does the new Honda CR-v 2013 come with a diesel engine? No, Honda has no plans to launch the diesel variant of Honda CR-V 2013 in India. Probably later Honda might consider diesel as an option, but we have to wait till the Amaze diesel gets going in the Indian market. With recent proposal of deregulation of diesel prices in India, Honda might stick on to its renowned petrol power trains for new Honda CR-V 2013.

Honda starts testing new Civic in India


Next Generation Honda Civic 2012/13 in India – Not a distant dream.

Its not too late that we heard about the news of Honda axing Civic sedan in India. Honda had also mentioned about the next generation 2012 Civic being kept out of Indian market. According to the latest news from oncars.in, Honda has started testing the latest Civic in India. Though we have no spy pictures of the new Civic, we got to believe coz the latest CR-V was also not in Honda’s list for India and now it has been spotted testing on Indian soil.

The poor sales of Civic, thanks to its only petrol option made Honda to wipe out Civic from India. This in fact shattered may Civic fans as Civic has a most dynamic looks which no other car in its category had. In terms of performance, its stood way ahead than its competitors. Thankfully the Civic stays and will come in the new avatar, hopefully with a diesel mill.

Honda is planning to launch its first diesel car Amaze in the middle of this year which will be soon followed by diesel options in all Honda models. The 1.5L iDTEC EarthDreams diesel engine will power Amaze, Brio and Jazz while the City is expected to have both 1.5 and 1.6L iDTEC engines. Of course the new Civic will have the bigger 1.6L iDTEC engine, after all the Civic is known for its performance and dashing looks.

Since the new Civic is on the test runs, be alert – you might find some camouflaged in your city. Don’t forget to snap it and share it on the web.

Information on The Dynamic Toyota Etios


The Toyota Etios is one of the top-selling Indian vehicles today and with good reason. Since its unveiling in late 2010; the Etios has impressed many. Available as a sedan or a hatchback, this small, powerful vehicle has changed many Indian lives for the better. Like most modern nations, India has widely adopted cars that utilize legendary Japanese engineering. The Etios clearly illustrates the solid reasons behind this trend.

When shopping for cars, Indian buyers will need to choose between new and used vehicles. While new items have their charm, used cars are affordable for buyers with restrictive budgets. Though slightly more expensive than some competitors; the Toyota Etios retains much resale value through its lifetime. This is an important consideration for people with irregular expenses who may need sudden cash infusions. Entrepreneurs and small business owners with widely varying revenues may need cars that are readily converted to cash.

Due to its mechanical reliability, the Etios is a good choice for first-time car buyers with little knowledge of automotive matters. Toyota produces well-designed products that work as advertised. Nevertheless, all Etios buyers should familiarize themselves with the basics of car operations and maintenance. With this useful knowledge in hand, motorists can deal with auto mechanics with confidence.

Throughout the world, Toyota is particularly known for producing cars that suffer few mechanical problems. This is a vital consideration for workers in industries that emphasize punctuality. In the competitive modern Indian employment market, tardy workers risk reprimands or out-right termination. It's worth spending a little extra to buy a reliable vehicle that aids schedule-keeping. In general, Toyota owners less on maintenance than owners of many other types of cars.

Although the Etios is widely accepted throughout India, Indian consumers still tend to conduct thorough investigations before purchasing major items like cars. Beyond simply querying friends and associates about car models, many Indian web readers peruse automotive websites for pointers. In addition to researching makes and models, consumers should do all they can to identify car dealers that are particularly trustworthy. Wherever located, most honest car sellers quickly gain reputations for their integrity. While online business reviews have their uses, many of them are written by problematic authors with inconsistent viewpoints. Online review readers should read all Internet viewpoints with critical skepticism. If this sensibility is maintained, review sites offer plenty of value for the public. Since anonymity can inspire thoughtless writing, the most useful Etios reviews feature bylines. Positive Toyota reviews are often characterized by appreciation and inspiration that rings true.

When browsing Internet pages that deal with the Toyota Etios, people should give different weight to purely promotional sites and websites with more of an informational slant. Though straightforward promotional pages do offer voluminous details on the Etios, more informational sites may offer more impartial viewpoints. Although most automotive websites offer some value for Indian auto buyers, some Web hubs deserve particularly impressive reputations. For one such site, see Gaadi.com today. This excellent site is good starting point for researching the Toyota Etios and other quality vehicles.

Just before its debut at 2013 Detroit Motor Show, Honda’s new Jazz based Urban SUV crossover concept’s images have leaked on the internet. Like other Honda concepts, the new Urban SUV also looks futuristic, the theme Honda is obsessed off late. The concept though looks futuristic; some feel it to be interesting and horrifying. The new Urban SUV concept features Honda’s design philosophy. We feel the overall design of the vehicle is appealing.

The crease running from D pillar, through rear door to the front ones looks amazing. The front and rear wheel arches bulge to give an SUV look to the vehicle. Front end reminds us of the new CR-V with integrated grill and headlamps. The new nose design is the latest from Honda which is seen in Honda’s Concept S as well.

Honda Urban SUV crossover will compete with Nissan Juke, Peugeot 2008 and the Fiat 500X. It will be built on same Jazz hatchback platform. Since Honda is unveiling the Urban SUV in North America, its Indian launch is remotely possible, at least not before 2015.
