Maruti’s new 800cc car to hit market by Diwali 2012

Maruti’s new 800cc car to hit market by Diwali

Maruti is gearing up to introduce an all new 800cc car that could potentially be a replacement for the Maruti 800. Faced with declining market share and falling sales of the best seller Alto, the company has already started testing the new car that certainly will be more fuel efficient and technologically advanced, but more expensive than the Alto.

the prices of M800 varies between Rs.2.05 lakh and Rs.2.30 lakh, while that of Alto stands at Rs.2.40-3.43 lakh. A 1,000cc variant of the Alto is priced at Rs.3.14-3.31 lakh. All the prices are for ex-showroom, Delhi.

Rumours had it that the new ultra low cost car from Maruti would be the Cervo. However, it’s almost certain by now that Maruti has no plans to bring Cervo to India and the new 800cc car will be called the Alto 800.

According to sources close to the development, the company will start commercial production of the new 800cc car at its Gurgaon plant from July or August and will launch it by Diwali

Maruti to launch Cervo this Diwali
Maruti (in fact, media) has been tantalizing us for quite a while with the prospect of launching the ultra small car Cervo. Now, credible media reports have it that the Cervo is all set to be launched this Diwali, replacing the iconic Maruti 800. According to a report by Economic Times, Cervo will be launched this Diwali, priced between 2-2.5 lakh.
Cervo looks like a smaller Chevrolet Beat with cues from Honda Jazz’s design. The phenomenal fuel efficiency is one of the USPs of this car. Powered by Suzuki’s 660cc engine — as against Nano’s 623cc — the Cervo could be priced a little higher than Nano.

Although a senior official from Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that “the work on the car is going on and the company is planning to launch it before Diwali,” there is no guarantee that the new car is going to be in the same shape that you see in these pictures. However, we can assure you that there is something brewing in the Maruti plant and the cat will be out of the bag during the upcoming festive season

Maruti Cervo Mileage

A yet-to-launch miracle product from Maruti Suzuki, Maruti Cervo, is expected to be launched in India with a 0.7L, 660cc petrol engine that will do away Maruti Alto, Maruti 800 and Maruti Wagon R. This entry-level hatchback is capable to generate a peak power of 60 bhp and top torque of 64Nm and the engine power will be delivered through 4 speed automatic transmission. An advanced Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology will be loaded in the powertrain to enhance the fuel efficiency of Maruti Cervo. The technology promises better mileage by optimizing fuel consumption. As per estimation, the car would give around 20-24 kmpl of mileage. However, a lot will depend on the size, weight and tyres. But what we mention is desirable in a car which is going to replace Maruti’s top selling models in India.

Power of Maruti Cervo

Maruti Cervo will be a compact car loaded with quality features from Suzuki. The five door hatchback is believed to be introduced in India equipped with 0.7L petrol engine. The engine size will be 660cc. Even though the engine size is small but it is to develop impressive power of 60 bhp and a peak torque of 64 Nm. The Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology of the engine helps to enhance power, torque and mileage figures considerably. The technology is also responsible for optimum release of power, thereby power loss during driving is protected. As a result, engine efficiency is increased, lesser carbon emissions and greater fuel consumption. This also make sure smoother and comfortable driving experience with excellent fuel economy.

Acceleration & Pick-Up

The Maruti Cervo which is already dominating Japan’s roads comes loaded with a 660cc DOHC engine with VVT. The maximum power and torque figures are 60 bhp and 64 Nm respectively. It is to be noted here that the 0.7L petrol engine is housing VVT technology that ensure maximum power release thereby enhance overall engine efficiency. The car is speculated to cross 0-100 km/h sprint in around 25 seconds. The top speed of the car might be around 115 km/h.

Maruti Cervo Exteriors

Maruti Cervo Exterior

View Maruti Cervo Exterior Pictures

The most fascinating feature of Maruti Cervo is its funky exterior which comprised of sexy curves, flow lines and sporty appeal. You will fall in love with the car at first sight. The exterior looks is unique and declares it a new generation vehicle.

The front face of the car is compact which give a feel of blend of classic and modern car. The headlight cluster is in ‘eye’ shape which houses round turn indicator and headlamp. Right down the headlmaps cluster, smiling grille are placed with chrome finished strip. The honeycomb radiator grille are neat and clean. Fog lamp is not available with the Maruti Cervo. Just below the upper grille, a rectangular strip of lower grille in black is placed. However, the front and rear bumper is in body colour. Apart from this, body colour side view mirrors, body colour door handle bars add to the stunning beauty of the sexy avatar. Small turn indicators are fitted at the front side of the car. It is also clear that the rear passenger side door will be lesser in width as compared to front door. That might trouble the rear passenger when access.

The rear side of the car is as superb as the front one. The rear side is adorned by rear spoiler, placed at the top of the rear hatch, funky rear wiper and dotted LED brake light. The taillight cluster also is to come in the same design as front but in smaller shape which comprised of brake lights and turn indicators. A compact antenna is also fitted on the rear roof for sporty looking. The tyres are nicely covered by wheel covers.

Exterior Measurements

The upcoming model of Maruti named as Maruti Cervo is to land here with slight changes in dimension and features in order to reduce price and avoiding taxes. There is no official word on its dimension but we can predict that it would be having more or less same size as Maruti Alto.

Maruti Cervo Interior

Not only the exterior of the Maruti Cervo but also the interior of the car is eye-catching and spacious. Let’s start from steering wheel. The steering wheel is expected to be three spoked and powered that helps to handle the car with ease and less physical force. The steering wheel is adjustable as well. Maruti Cervo is believed to come here with wider dashboard comprising round AC vents at both end and instrument panel just behind the steering wheel. A large storage box, standard to all compact cars, in front of the front passenger is a must. Rear view mirror is also a part and parcel of the machine nowadays.

The seats for driver and other passengers are wide and comfy with small headrest. Headroom and legroom at both rows are pretty enough for four passengers. But if you try to adjust three people at rear seats, it might be troublesome. Maruti Cervo is blessed with seatbelts for all the passengers. The flooring and roof are in slender layer in order to provide enough space. At the rear side a big boot space is there. The boot space is nicely carved and having completely flat surface that allows to put more items in it.

Interior Comfort

As it is already mentioned that the car is more spacious at front and rear. All the seats are provided with seat belts, enough headroom and legroom. However, the leg and headroom is larger at front row. It is also expected that Maruti Cervo will come with larger boot space. In that kind of boot, you can put tin type stuffs as well. So as a result, it can be used as an MPV. Storage space is to be ensured at front row and rear too.

Interior Measurements

At this point of time, it is not possible to provide exact specification of interior measurements. Nevertheless, we may hope for pretty good headroom, legroom and storage space in the car.

Maruti Cervo Engine and Performance

Maruti Cervo has been launched in Japan already and doing very well. After seeing the response form the country, Suzuki is planning to launch the machine in India under the alliance with Maruti Udyog. As the tradition for Suzuki, the Maruti Cervo would be launched here with less luxury features but engine would be more or less same. That means, Maruti Cervo will be fitted with new generation 0.7L petrol engine with VVT technology. This engine, must be of 660cc, would churns out 60bhp of maximum power and 64 Nm of peak torque. The powertrain is equipped with some of the advanced technologies which ensure better fuel economy and power. One of the technology which is incorporated in the mill is Variable Valve Timing (VVT). The VVT is there for greater fuel efficiency, less carbon emissions and minimum power loss. The system allows the timing of the intake valve to be altered when the mill is in action, hence making sure that is no chance of power loss or wastage. This results in lesser carbon emissions, greater fuel economy and refined mill efficiency. The technology also ensure quick pick-up, starting and power for any kind of roads. Maruti Cervo would come fitted with four speed automatic transmission that uses the power very well and clears the traffic in an amazing way.

Wheels

As this will be a replacement of Maruti’s best selling model, Maruti Alto, now. It is speculated that it will be equipped with 12 inch wheels with attractive wheel covers like you must have seen on the internet. Over 2,000 mm of wheelbase would be installed for standard stability and balance of the machine.

Braking & Handling

Maruti Cervo DashBoardMaruti Cervo is receiving overwhelming response in Japan and the company is expecting same kind of success in India too. In view to ensure the same, the alliance of Suzuki and Maruti is not supposed to give their best. Braking system in Maruti Cervo will be conventional type that will follow front disc and rear drum brake. We can’t expect ABS system in this price range. The car will also house newer shock absorbers. The suspensions are responsible for smooth driving which not only increase riding pleasure but safety also.

Tata Nano Diesel Car First look | Tata Motors is targeting a fuel economy of 40 kmpl Tata nano

Tata Nano Diesel, this is the most concrete proof ever unraveled about the Nano Diesel. The mysterious Nano Diesel is one of the most hotly anticipated car in the Indian automotive scene. Speculations suggest that Tata Motors is targeting a fuel economy of 40 kmpl. For our international audience that’s 94 mpg!

Tata Nano Diesel, right from the time the diesel engined hatchback was being conceptualized at Tata Motors. We stuck our neck out and declared that the Nano diesel would deliver 40 Kmpl, which was later confirmed by a Bosch official working on the common rail diesel injection system for the car. We also brought you details about a new bumper and exhaust design. Now, we have more biggie coming up and our roving eye in the sky, EarthFusion, is at it again, this time around bringing you a superb render on how the Nano Diesel with the open-able hatch would look like and yes, we have visual proof to boot.
2013 Tata Nano Diesel Small Car Spyshot 2013 Tata Nano Diesel Small Car Render
Tata is working on rerouting the exhaust and in due course of time, all three changes are expected to be effected on the petrol version of the Nano as well. That said, we’re yet to have confirmation on this, though we’ll be digging around for information on this front over the next few months. Coming to the diesel engined Nano, the car will run the DICOR system, which will first be tested on the Tata Ace Dicor. The liquid cooled engine will be a twin cylinder unit, essentially half a block of the Indica’s 1,405cc diesel engine.

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga to be launched April 2012 | Ertiga Pics, Review & Price in India

MSI is turning to the multi-purpose vehicle segment with its upcoming model Ertiga, as it looks to complete its portfolio of passenger vehicles.

The vehicle will witness its global launch next month in India that has seen an investment of about Rs 400 crore by the company as development cost. The company claims that the petrol variant delivers a fuel economy of 16.02 kmpl and the diesel one gives 20.77 kmpl.

Maruti Ertiga TVC Shoot photo

Maruti Suzuki will be launching the Ertiga MPV on the 11th of April 2012. The Japanese automaker is currently conducting media drives for select media in Goa, while at the same time shooting the TV commercial of the upcoming MPV in Delhi. The above Maruti Ertiga was spotted at a traffic signal in Delhi, with a video camera fitted inside the car. There was a model with a child on the rear seat and an elderly women on the front seat. Ironically there was a Toyota Innova right next to the Ertiga MPV.

Ertiga, which is expected to start around Rs. 6.5 lakhs for the base petrol LXi and going up all the way to Rs. 9.5 lakhs for the top-end diesel ZDI (all price estimated are ex-showroom, Delhi). There is very little to guess then, that the Ertiga MPV will repeat the success story of the Swift and will command a waiting period within a few days of launch.  photo

Mercedes rolls out ‘invisible’ car

Mercedes rolls out ‘invisible’ car

Using optical camouflage, technology experts at Mercedez Benz have figured out how to make an entire car disappear

  1. merc

TODAY – March 7, 2012

Mercedes is doing basically the same trick. As you can see in the Mercedes video, even though people could still tell there was a car going by, they seemed impressed by the “invisible” fuel-cell vehicle.

Mercedes says its hydrogen-powered drive system is “ready for series production,” but other reports have its commercialisation set for 2014. However, fuel-cell technology is still notoriously expensive, partly because hydrogen is a difficult fuel to store and transport. The materials needed to create a viable fuel-cell are still hovering in the pricey stratosphere.
