Mahindra and Renault split, Logan to be continued in India!

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Logan - www.motoroids.com" height="165" mce_src="/images/stories/Cars/Cars_India/Mahindra_Renault/mahindra_renault_logan_tourer_motoroids.jpg" src="http://www.motoroids.com/images/stories/Cars/Cars_India/Mahindra_Renault/mahindra_renault_logan_tourer_motoroids.jpg" width="320" /></div><br /><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It was very much evident that Mahindra and Renault weren’t that much happy with their joint venture. The product of their joint venture christened Mahindra Renault Logan did not manage to return high sales figures after which both the firms entered into blame game. However, there were speculations that the firms had left their differences aside and had planned to launch a small car version of the Logan. But, as a final step, the firms have decided to go their own ways. Mahindra & Mahindra has bought 49% stakes owned by Renault in the partnership and it will be owned as a subsidiary of M&M. The firm will however, not discontinue the production of Logan in India and a few overseas markets.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The earlier speculations about the car becoming a small car have however now proved to be true. The car will be a shortened version of the Logan in order to avail excise duty benefits which are available for cars which are up to or less than 4m in length. There is no confirmed news regarding the continual of the original Logan model though. According to various sources, M&M will also launch a MUV based on the shortened version of the Logan.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">A part of the sum paid in order to buy a Logan will be delivered to Renault in form of loyalty till the end of this year. The car will sell with the Renault badge too. However, this will not continue from next year after which the car will be available with the M&M badge. There are speculations which indicate that once the car will be sold under the M&M badge, the car may also be renamed.</div>

Tata’s Nano-Indica straddler codenamed Dolphin

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The Nano project may not have been a bed of roses for Tata, especially with chapters like being driven out of Singur in Bengal and some Nanos catching fire. However, the auto major remains undeterred by problems and is keen on making another small car which would slot in between the Nano and the Indica. The new car will be comparable to the Suzuki Wagon Rs and the Santros of the world and will most likely be priced at around Rs 3-lakh on the road. If reports from NDTV are to be believed the car has been codenamed as Dolphin, at least for the development phase.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It’s prudent for Tata to develop such a car for India as we know for a fact that ever since the Nano project took off, small car makers like Maruti and Hyundai have gone back to the drawing board to design and develop cars that are cheaper than even the Santro and the Wagon R with comparable engine specs, features and specs. Project Dolphin aims at having a Tata anwer ready for the challengers to be brought in the field by Suzuki and Hyundai in due course.<br /> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The car which will be made on a completely new platform would be a tough competitor to the Maruti Suzuki Alto, Wagon R and the Hyundai Santro. There are speculations that the car will be powered by an engine within the 800-1000cc range. The car may also be available in the petrol and diesel variants. Tata’s tradition of making spacious cars will be practiced in the new car as well and expect it to be a winner in terms of in both cabin and boot space. <br /> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It’s a good move by Tata as the company didn’t have a presence in the bare basic small car segment of the India which form the major chunk of the Indian car market. Tata Motors have the capability to keep costs low, and a cheap option in the A and A+ segment will definitely lure a lot of buyers. The demand will be primarily driven by the rural areas for Tata in such a case.</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />According to various sources, the car will hit the streets within the next 18-24 months. Since the phasing off of the legendary Maruti 800, it is now evident that Tata is very keen into getting a firm foothold in the small car segment. Stay tuned as we try our best to get more information about this upcoming small car.</div>

2010 Wagon R details revealed!

We also assured that the upgrade would not be just a minor face lift but would be much more than that since the firm has spent a lot of money on the upgrade. The firm has finally revealed that the car will hit the streets on 23rd of April. The upgraded Wagon R will be based on the current Japanese Wagon R. the new Wagon R will be taller, longer and wider and will feature new suspension components both in the front and rear suspensions. The bigger size ensures that the Wagon R is more spacious than before and provides better comfort.</div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The car will kick away the present 1.1-L engine and make way for a smaller 1.0-L three cylinder K series engine. The engine is the same 67 bhp engine from the A Star/Estilo. The gear ratios have been altered though so that the 3 cylinder engine can carry the hefty weight of the Wagon R. The car also sports a new dashboard, an integrated audio system and the rear wash-wiper in the apex Vxi model.</div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The car will be sold in the similar Lx, Lxi and Vxi variants as before. However, the Duo variant will be missing. There is no confirmation whether the Duo variant will be launched later on. Wagon R is Maruti Suzuki’s second bestselling car which has managed to hit a total sales figure of more than 800,000 units since its 1999 launch.</div><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></b><b><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">Source: BSMotoring, Motoroids</span></i></div><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;"><u>Exterior Styling:</u></div><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="text-align: left;"><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><b><div mce_style="text-align: left;" style="display: inline !

BMW 5 series will hit the streets on 30th April

Thus, the earlier-than-scheduled launch has proved to be a surprise to the Indian market. We can say that Newton’s third law has been applied here (every action has an equal and opposite reaction). BMW had to react aptly to its rival, Mercedes’ action of introducing the new E-class and discounted sale of its 5-series, by introducing the new model as soon as possible. The firm has provided its Chennai plant with all necessary equipments and facilities for the 5-Series. The firm has also achieved record time shipping of its knocked down units to assemble the models well before time.</div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.motoroids.com/images/stories/Cars/Cars_India/BMW/bmw_5series_motoroids.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.motoroids.com/images/stories/Cars/Cars_India/BMW/bmw_5series_motoroids.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.motoroids.com/images/stories/Cars/Cars_India/BMW/bmw_5series_motoroids.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.motoroids.com/images/stories/Cars/Cars_India/BMW/bmw_5series_motoroids.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="5 series - www.motoroids.com" border="0" height="212" mce_src="/images/stories/Cars/Cars_India/BMW/bmw_5series_motoroids.jpg" src="http://www.motoroids.com/images/stories/Cars/Cars_India/BMW/bmw_5series_motoroids.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Mercedes managed to sell 642 E-class models in the first quarter of 2010 where in the other hand, BMW could only manage to sell 305 5-series. BMW expects to recover its market share in the luxury car segment with the introduction of the all new 5-series.</div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">There is no confirmation as in which models of the 5-series will be available in India. However, there is a possibility for the 535i and 530d to hit the streets for sure.</div>

According to various sources, the firm has spent Rs. 290 crore in upgrading the firm’s best selling hatchback. In addition to this, the company also confirmed the phasing off of the ‘Duo’ variant which runs on both LPG and petrol. When inquired, Mayank Pareek, Maruti Suzuki India Executive Officer (Marketing and Sales) said, “As of now, we have stopped the Duo and the new WagonR will only be in gasoline.”</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The refreshed Wagon R will not be just a face lifted one. This fact was supported when Mr. Pareek revealed that a minor facelift usually costs about Rs. 50 crore and when the firm is said to have spent a little less than six times this figure, there is no harm in expecting something more this time. The expected Wagon R will definitely be BS-IV compliant and will feature the Maruti Suzuki K10B engine which will be manufactured at the firm’s Gurgaon plant.

Professor Dr Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG stated, ‘We're honoured that the Volkswagen Polo was chosen by this distinguished group of jurors. After the triumph of the Golf last year, we are delighted to repeat this success with the new Polo. This shows that Volkswagen is on the right track and is offering arguably the best range of products in its history.’ Leaving the WCOTY Award aside, the Golf, Passat, and Polo which are included in the Volkswagen BlueMotion product brand were declared 2010 World Green Car of the Year by the World Car of The Year organization.

In India, the car is available in three variants - Petrol, Diesel and Race Variant. The Polo Petrol is powered by a 1.2 liter MPFI engine that churns out 75 horses at 5400 rpm and torque of 110 Nm at 3750 rpm. The Diesel variant comes with a 1.2 Liter CRDI Diesel Engine while the Race variant features a 1.6 Liter R4 CRDI Diesel Engine.</div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div mce_style="text-align: left; " style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: justify;">According to the 59 jury members, it may not always be necessary to replace the combustion engine with an electric motor and a heavy battery assembly to achieve better efficiency. The BlueMotion models boast of an engine based on the Volkswagen’s common rail diesel engines. These engines are reportedly the most efficient engines available in the market. It is believed that the Passat BlueMotion can cover a whopping distance of 1600 km on a single full tank of fuel. Thus, these engines can be a boon not only to the pockets but also to the environment and depleting fuel resources. According to Dr Winterkorn, ‘BlueMotion is one of the most successful efficiency brands worldwide.
