Next generation Volkswagen Polo: All you need to know
Next gen VW Polo teased, to be unveiled on 16th June 2017
Couple of images of the much
awaited next generation Volkswagen Polo 2017 has been teased before its launch
on 16th of June 2017. The images show the new designed headlamps and
taillamps which sync with the company’s design philosophy of kink at the edges.
Being in the market for eight long
years, the VW baby was badly in due for a change. Built on VW’s new MQB
platform, the new Polo is bigger and bolder than the current model. This gives
the car to offer improved cabin space, especially at the rear passenger
compartment.
The new polo is expected to feature
1.0L petrol and diesel engines with improved performance and fuel efficiency.
Peugeot starts testing its cars in India
Before we begin we like to remind
that this is not the first time Peugeot has started testing in cars in India.
As all car manufacturers do, Peugeot also tested its cars in India with the
intention of launching its products for the first time in India. This time
being the third, Peugeot is serious about its business in India and guess what
Peugeot plans to launch its latest products in our country.
Couple of cars was seen testing,
the new generation 208 hatch being one of them. Being a B segment hatch the 308
offers style and substance which the French maker is always know for. Remember
the 309 notch which was launched in India way back in late 90s. Peugeot produces
world class engines which will be a strong point for Peugeot’s Indian business
story.
Mahindra KUV 100 facelift to have cleaner design
The quirky mini SUV from Mahindra,
the KUV will get a facelift soon and now with a cleaner design. It is not clear
what clean design means but we believe plastic cladding on the bumper will give
way for body coloured full bumper. But just with these changes the KUV might
not look fresh as the side profile of the car remains the same, and to mention
it is from the side the car/SUV looks like a cartoon character.
Though KUV could not make an impact
in the market as its elder brother XUV, it has managed to attract its niche
customers, thanks to its comfortable seating, both in the front and the rear.
The new 1.2L diesel from Mahindra is very refined than many of the global
competitors. Hope to see a good looking car from Mahindra soon.
Renault introduces Kwid 1.0 with a bigger and powerful engine
Renault
India today introduced a bigger capacity engined Kwid with a starting price of
Rs. 3.82 lakh ex-showroom Delhi. The new Kwid 1.0 as it is called is powered by
a more powerful 999cc 3 cylinder petrol engine with power output of 68 Ps and torque
of 91 Nm. The old 799 cc petrol motor had figures of 54 Ps and 72 Nm.
The Kwid
1.0 is only available in RxT and RxT (O) trims and costs Rs. 22,000 more than
Kwid 0.8L RxT trim. The bigger engine however brings the fuel efficiency low
with the Kwid 1.0 delivering 23.01 Km for a liter of petrol.
The Kwid
1.0 gets black and white chequered decal with ‘1.0’ lettering on the side
profile. An all new gloss grey ORVM looks fantastic on the car. Currently the
Kwid 1.0 is mated to a 5 speed manual transmission but an AMT version is around
the corner to be launched soon.

Skoda Kodiaq prototype spied in motion
Czech Republic auto major Skoda Auto has released a video of its full sized SUV Kodiaq in motion, though with heavy camouflage. The Kodiaq SUV which is Skoda’s first ever full sized SUV will debut at 2016 Paris Motor Show.
Built on VW MQB platform Kodiaq will share components with the new VW Tiguan. Skoda’s famous sedan Superb is also built on the same VW MQB platform. A 2.0 L TSI petrol and TDI diesel will power the Kodiaq and a plug-in hybrid version will also find its place sometime later.
The Skoda Kodiaq concept was shown at Geneva Motor Show in March this year in the form of Skoda VisionS concept. The VisionS concept featured angular design styling heavily inspired by the Superb - especially the headlamps and taillights.
