New 2021 Hyundai Alcazar First Look Review - The Best Family SUV Under 20 Lakhs?

<p><em>Are you looking to buy a mini truck? Check out this Tata Intra V10 vs Mahindra Supro mini truck comparison to know which truck suits you best.</em> </p>



<p>An era of competitive trucking companies emerged soon after industrialization took its course in India. The delivery of heavy and high-value cargo mainly depended on these logistics that owned a fleet of trucks of various segments. Back in the day, a fleet of trucks became a necessity to transport shipments that came in through the trade routes and as time progressed, trucks became a popular companion of logistic businesses. </p>



<p>Today, it is impossible to not consider owning trucks by a delivery business owner since they have become the staple means of transport in domestic or semi-urban and rural areas. At present, unlike the period of industrialization, there are various cargo truck makers in the country that go a long way back to the period of industrialization. One such indigenous company is the legendary brand Tata which has a deeper history.</p>



<p>However, as time took its course, other CV makers like Mahindra &amp; Mahindra gradually started evolving and opting for better technology to stay in competition with brands like Tata which was and is the market leader even today. </p>



<p>With such a great history, it would be a shame if the two companies decided not to compete with each other for becoming the CV kings of India. We believe that the two companies are worthy competitors and hence, we have put together a comparison article to find out which 1T segment CV maker is the king of all kings. </p>



<p>Have a look at this article to find out which is the best mini-truck in India? Check out the Tata Intra V10 vs Mahindra Supro comparison.</p>



<h4>Dimensions:</h4>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Tata-Intra-V10.jpg" alt="Tata Inta V10 vs Mahindra Supro which is better? " class="wp-image-34119"/></figure></div>



<p>The Tata Intra V10 and the Supro Mini Truck have a decent build quality and their design elements seem to attract peoples attention quite often. The contemporary design of these vehicles are appreciated by everyone, However, the Tata Intra V10 takes it a notch higher when it comes to the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. The Mahindra Supro has a rugged appearance when compared with the Intra V10, however, the design does not seem to reach the premium levels of the Tata Intra V10. </p>



<p>Let us consider the specs to see which is better. The Tata Intra V10 has a 2250mm wheelbase. The cargo area or body is of the size 2512 x 1603mm which is good for carrying high-value cargo and large goods. </p>



<p>The Supro Mini Truck on the other hand has a wheelbase of 1950mm. The Cargo body is of the size 2280 x 1600 x 2320mm. The vehicle is sized 3927 x 1540 x1915mm. </p>

<p><strong><em>VERDICT:</em></strong> <em>The Tata Intra V10 wins this round since it has a better load carrying capacity, superior design and bigger wheelbase when compared with the Mahindra Supro Mini Truck. Mahindra and Mahindra could have done a better job when it comes to the design and aesthetics of the Supro Mini Truck.  </em></p>

<h4><strong>Comfort</strong> and features:</h4>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/tata-intra-v10-truck-interior.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-34120"/></figure></div>



<p>The Tata Intra V10 and the Mahindra Supro Mini Truck seem to be poles apart when it comes to cabin design and quality. The quality of plastics on the dashboard of the Intra V10 is much better than the Mahindra Supro Mini Truck. The Intra V10 comes with better features that are unique in its segment whereas the Mahindra Supro Mini Truck only has few basic features to offer.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Mahindra-Supro-Interior.jpg" alt="Tata Inta V10 vs Mahindra Supro which is better? " class="wp-image-34121"/></figure></div>



<p>The Intra V10 gets a unique gear lever that is integrated into the dashboard of the vehicle. The gear shifter might seem difficult to reach in pictures but in reality, it provides a comfortable driving posture which is necessary to eliminate fatigue while driving long distances. The seats are also comfortable in the Intra V10 when compared with the Mahindra Supro Mini Truck. This will allow the driver to feel relaxed and comfortable on long journeys. The turning radius of the Tata Intra V10 is 4.75mm which means that the driver can navigate through narrow roads and do U-turns with ease. </p>

<p><strong><em>VERDICT: </em></strong><em>The Tata Intra V10 is a better choice when it comes to cabin comfort and features. The Mahindra Supro Mini Truck is good in terms of cabin design but lacks features like the ones offered in the Tata Intra V10, Hence, the Tata Intra V10 wins this round too. </em></p>



<h4>Engine, Suspension and Performance: </h4>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Mahindra-Supro-Mini-Truck-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-34122"/></figure></div>



<p>The most important aspect that a buyer would look for is the capability and performance of the engine. The vehicle's performance mainly depends on the suspension setup, the reliability of the engine and the durability of the overall truck. Hence, we have carefully analysed both the engines, suspension setups to look for the best performance-oriented vehicle between the two. </p>



<p>The Intra V10 gets a reliable 798cc engine which is a 2 cylinder equipped with a direct-injection system capable of churning out 44.2hp at a peak torque of 110Nm. The Vehicle can carry loads weighing 1000kg and the overall gross weight of the vehicle is 2120Kg. </p>



<p>The Supro Mini Truck is equipped with Mahindra's latest direct-injection engine that churns out 26hp at a peak torque of 58Nm. The company claims a mileage of 23.6km per litre which makes it an efficient truck. In terms of ground clearance, the Tata Intra V10 gets 170mm whereas the Supro Mini Truck has 170mm which is not a bad figure. </p>

<p>The Intra V10 rolls out of the factory with an electric power-assisted steering system which makes a huge difference as it presents better stability to the vehicle. The Intra V10 gets 6 leaf springs at the front and 7 leaf springs at the rear. The Tyre is sized 165 R14 which is essential to get better ground clearance. The vehicle has a gradeability of 43% which is necessary to climb steep inclines with cargo. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/tata-intra-v10-gallery-flat-view.jpg" alt="Tata Inta V10 vs Mahindra Supro which is better? " class="wp-image-34123"/></figure></div>



<p>The Supro on the other hand is equipped with 8 leaf springs in the front and 7 leaf springs in the rear. Unlike the Tata Intra V10, the Supro does not come with an electric-powered steering system. It gets a manual steering setup which is quite good while encountering sharp turns. The Supro Mini truck has a payload capacity of 900Kg which is lesser than the Intra V10 and the tyre size is 155 R13 which is lesser in size compared to the Intra V10 but it helps in getting better fuel efficiency. </p>



<p><em><strong>VERDICT: </strong></em>The Supro Mini truck is the most fuel-efficient among the two trucks, however, the Tata Intra V10 has a better powerful engine when compared with the Mahindra Supro. The Tata Intra V10 has a superior performing steering system and has better tyres. The load-carrying capacity of the Supro Mini is lesser by 100Kgs when compared with the Intra V10. The Tata Intra V10 yet again is the winner in this round. </p>



<h4><strong>Conclusion:</strong></h4>



<p>Although the Tata Intra V10 is priced around Rs. 6.32 - Rs.6.52 Lakh, it is an efficient and reliable truck that requires lower maintenance cost than the Mahindra Supro Mini Truck. The Mahindra Supro has been priced at Rs.5.24 Lakh, but the vehicle does not offer enough features at this price range, However, we do not deny the fact that the Supro Mini Truck is a reliable and durable vehicle. The tata Intra V10 seems to be the better choice since it has loads of features and equipment on board. Thus, we declare the Intra V10 as the winner. </p>

<p>The market for domestic commodities has been on the rise ever since globalization took its course. Today, small scale industries and delivery based logistics have been gradually entering into the global game of business. Hence, to meet the rising demand, delivery businesses and logistics that provide cargo hauliers have been on the lookout for smaller vehicles to transport goods domestically.  </p>



<p>There are several sub-one-ton cargo carriers to choose from, however, due to their versatility, it is difficult to choose one. Interestingly, the demand for sub-one-ton cargo vehicles has been helping out CV makers to create practical cargo-hauling solutions. One such popular Commercial vehicle designer is Tata, an Indian brand that the country diligently appreciates. </p>



<p>Tata has been providing best in class vehicles that have durability and are reliable in all circumstances such as when carrying heavy loads across districts or within the domestic layout. </p>



<p>We were curious to learn more about Tata's CV venture and its most precious and reliable product- The Tata ACE Gold Diesel after coming face to face with the fact that this vehicle is small in appearance but is a mammoth workhorse. So as to justify this fact, we decided to compare the Ace Gold diesel with Mahindra Jeeto which is said to be equally potent. </p>



<p>In today's review, only one will stand as the king, Let's find out which one!</p>

<h4><strong>The Powertrain:</strong></h4>



<p>The Tata Ace Gold Diesel comes with a 2-cylinder 700CC engine. The powertrain of this vehicle is a naturally aspirated direct-injection system that churns out 19hp of power at 45 Nm of torque. These figures seem to be not only good on papers but in reality too. </p>



<p>The Mahindra Jeeto Plus Diesel comes with a single-cylinder 670CC engine that has a direct-injection water-cooled system. The engine churns out 16hp and produces 42Nm of torque. </p>



<p>The Ace Gold Diesel and the Jeeto Plus comes equipped with a 4-speed transmission, However, the gear shifts are slick on the Tata Ace gold diesel and need lower maintenance when compared to the Jeeto plus. </p>



<p><strong><em>VERDICT</em></strong>: Now the verdict is clear, the Tata Ace Gold Diesel wins the battle for power when compared with the Mahindra Jeeto Plus. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Tata-Ace-Gold-Bs6-Diesel.jpg" alt="Tata Ace Gold Diesel vs Mahindra Jeeto Plus" class="wp-image-33973"/></figure></div>



<h4><strong>The Load Carrying Capacity (Payload)</strong>:</h4>



<p>The two engines of the Tata Ace Gold Diesel and Mahindra Jeeto Plus are equally efficient and there is no doubt about that, however, when it comes to the maximum payload, there are quite a bit differences. The decision to choose the best among these two is quite hard. Let us have a look at the specs.  </p>



<p>The new revamped Tata Ace Gold gets a load-carrying capacity of 750Kg which is indeed impressive and the best in this segment. The Mahindra Jeeto Plus gets only 715Kg of Payload which is quite good. </p>



<p><strong><em>VERDICT:</em></strong> When compared to the Tata Ace Gold diesel, the Mahindra Jeeto Plus just does not stand a chance of winning in the category of payload. Keep in mind that the more the payload, the better the revenue per trips. So considering this fact, the Tata Ace Gold Diesel bags good marks in this comparison. </p>

<p>Keep reading the Tata Ace Gold Diesel vs Mahindra Jeeto Plus comparison to find the best suitable vehicle for your business. </p>



<h4><strong>The Dimensions: </strong></h4>



<p><strong>Cargo area: </strong>Having a cargo body that is tough and durable is a necessity for customers which is why both manufactures have provided a decent or perhaps a more practical cargo area that has durability.  The Tata Ace Gold gets a cargo body-sized (LxWxH) 2200 X 1490 x 300 mm and the Mahindra Jeeto Plus has a cargo body size of 2257x1493x300 (LxWxH). They both seem to be nearly identical, hence, neither one of them is a winner in this category. So let us move on with the comparison. </p>



<p><strong>Suspension: </strong>The Tata Ace Gold Gets a suspension setup of parabolic leaf spring and semi-elliptical leaf spring however, the Mahindra Jeeto Plus gets an independent front suspension along with a semi-trailing arm in the rear.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Mahindra-jeeto.jpg" alt="Tata Ace Gold Diesel vs Mahindra Jeeto Plus" class="wp-image-33814"/></figure>



<p><strong>Wheelbase and height:</strong>  The Tata Ace Gold has a wheelbase of 2100 mm, while Jeeto Plus has a slightly higher 2500 mm wheelbase. However, this is just a minor difference. The height of the Ace is bigger that is 1842 mm than Jeeto's 1750 mm too.  </p>



<p><strong><em>VERDICT:</em></strong> After careful analysis, we have come to the judgement that the Tata Ace Gold Diesel has a more robust and durable suspension setup which is easy to fix when compared with the Mahindra Jeeto which has a softer setup that makes rides comfortable, however, it is a bit costly to fix when maintenance charges are considered.</p>



<p>The Cargo area is quite similar with minor differences hence, we have a tie and no winner in this category. The wheelbase is also quite similar, However, the Mahindra Jeeto has a better turning radius so it gains a point. </p>

<h4><strong>Price: </strong></h4>



<p>The Tata Ace Gold Diesel starts from Rs. 4.36 lakh whereas the Mahindra Jeeto plus Is priced at Rs 3.73 lakh. Although the Tata Ace Gold is priced higher than the Mahindra Jeeto Plus, the maintenance cost per year is lesser than the Jeeto. </p>



<p><strong>FINAL VERDICT:</strong> </p>



<p>The Tata Ace Gold diesel has been reliable from the day it initially rolled out of the showroom. Considering the prolonged user reviews, the Tata Ace Gold has never let down any customer in business. The spare parts are cheaper and easily available and it has a lower maintenance cost. The service network is also bigger than Mahindra. The initial experience buying the Tata Ace Gold is also good and the service that Tata provides is reliable. Not that, the Mahindra Jeeto is bad but it could have been better in terms of features and performance. </p>



<p>Since the Mahindra Jeeto plus is priced lower than the Tata Ace Gold, It makes it affordable, However, we leave the decision to you. Do you need a reliable vehicle or do you need a cheaper and lesser cargo area vehicle? We would recommend the Tata Ace Gold diesel anytime, any day. </p>

Tata Ace Gold Diesel vs Mahindra Jeeto Plus. Which One Is Better?

<p>Skoda has finally launched the fourth-generation Octavia and we couldn't be happier. Well, as the country is pacing towards the SUV department, the sedans have been left far behind in the race. Not now, as the D-Segment sedan is slowly picking up pace as we now have 2021 Skoda Octavia to provide support to the Hyundai Elantra. But there's a problem. The Price. Lack Of Features. Oh, well, we will share everything we like about the 2021 Skoda Octavia and the things that we don't in this first look review! </p>



<p>So the story started in 2002 when the Czech carmaker brought in the Octavia at a price of just Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom) and people went gaga. The sales took off rightly because of the build quality, powerful petrol engine and well, the features. However, it was the aftersales and service support that gave people some issues. Nonetheless, Skoda India enjoyed it all and so did its customers. </p>



<p>Then as the time evolved, the carmaker did too by bringing in several Octavia's and not to forget the vRS models too. Oh, that the Sprint Yellow shade really stood now. Now, fast forward to 2021, we have the fourth-gen Octavia and we explain everything we like about the sedan. </p>



<p><strong>Exteriors</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Skoda-Octavia-4.jpg" alt="2021 Skoda Octavia First Look Review Image" class="wp-image-33752"/></figure>



<p>Like the Germans, this Czech carmaker too has followed their design and the grille is now bigger than before. But it looks good. Similarly, the split headlight design is gone and it now makes way for the slimmer headlights with integrated daytime running lights. Another noticeable thing is that the DRLs neatly falls in place with the grille. Attention to detail to these European cars I tell you. </p>



<h6>Also Read: <a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/skoda-octavia-vs-hyundai-elantra-spec-and-price-comparison/">Skoda Octavia vs Hyundai Elantra - Spec And Price Comparison</a></h6>



<p>Similarly, the bottom part sees a rectangular foglight design and with that, we have a chrome strip that connects them both.  And now, notice the sharp creases on the hood that looks distinct. Moving to the side profile, the Octavia now gets 17-inch alloy wheels and man of man, they look good. To further enhance the premiumness, a subtle chrome on the window line looks lovely. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Skoda-Octavia-3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-33751"/></figure>



<p>As the front and side, it is the rear that carries a little more drama. You see, the coupe-like styling of the Octavia, the boot now casually forms into a spoiler and the inverted L shaped taillights are where things start to the lookout. You also get SKODA lettering at the middle and the bumper design is tweaked as well. </p>



<p><strong>Interiors</strong></p>



<p>Whether you're driving the sedan or being chauffeur-driven, the cabin oozes premiumness. The dual-tone beige and black colour scheme followed by loads of cubby spaces really give the sedan a practical approach. For the asking price, there are no hard plastics on the dashboard and that what makes it a special sedan. Similarly, at the rear seat, the headrests, touch-sensitive reading lights, window curtain are what stands out.</p>



<p><strong>Features</strong></p>



<p>That's where most Indians get excited for and the new Octavia does not disappoint you at all. Okay, well, at some points. The positives include a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system supporting Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a two-spoke steering wheel with multi-function, LED ambient lighting, electronic parking brake, gear selector via a switch, Canton sourced audio system with 12 speakers, dual-zone climate control, virtual cockpit and among others. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Skoda-Octavia-5.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-33753"/></figure>



<p>Pretty impressive, right? But where's the sunroof? Or the ventilated seats? Hey, the Nissan Magnite gets a 360-degree camera Man. Yes, the Octavia missed out on the latter feature too. Now, this may be a dealbreaker to some of the Indians as having a sunroof is what makes you stand out and is a USP nowadays. We'll let you decide from here on if the new Octavia is your buy or not!</p>



<p><strong>Dimensions and Capacity</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Specifications</td><td>Skoda Octavia</td></tr><tr><td>Length (mm)</td><td>4689</td></tr><tr><td>Width (mm)</td><td>1829</td></tr><tr><td>Height (mm)</td><td>1469</td></tr><tr><td>Wheelbase (mm)</td><td>2680</td></tr><tr><td>Ground Clearance (mm)</td><td>137</td></tr><tr><td>Boot space (L)</td><td>600</td></tr><tr><td>Fuel tank capacity (L)</td><td>50</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>The new Octavia is 19 mm longer than before but sticks with the same 2680 mm of wheelbase. For a taller person, the sloping roofline might be of discomfort and the lack of sunroof might lead to the lack of airiness, nonetheless, the Octavia surely stands out now. Also, the massive boot space of 600 litres further stretches up to 1555 litres when the second row of seats are folded. </p>



<p><strong>Engine and Transmission</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Engine</td><td>Skoda Octavia</td></tr><tr><td>Petrol Engine Capacity</td><td>1984 cc</td></tr><tr><td>Maximum Power</td><td>188 bhp at 4180 RPM</td></tr><tr><td>Maximum Torque</td><td>320 Nm at 1500 RPM</td></tr><tr><td>Gearbox</td><td>7-speed DSG</td></tr><tr><td>ARAI</td><td>15.81 kmpl</td></tr><tr><td>Emission Norms</td><td>BS6</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>Mechanically, the Octavia now gets a 2.0L TSI engine that makes 188 bhp with 320 Nm of healthy torque. The latter is observed from as low as 1500 RPM thus making the city drives also an easier one. A 7-speed DSG for better performance and the ARAI certified mileage sticks to 15.81 kmpl. Now, this is better than its competition Hyundai Elantra that sticks to 15 kmpl only. What's impressive is that the 0-100 figures come in just 7 seconds and the paddle shifter really upgrades the driving feel. </p>

<p>The commercial vehicle (CV) industry is being steered towards exciting technological advancements which are unique to the segments. Today, many CV makers are on full thrust to add on unique features and technology so that the drivers could have fatigue-free drive. </p>



<p> According to the CV makers in the country, in the time span of few years, CVs will become more comfortable and a comparison between CVs would become more prominent as they roll out of the factory floor loaded with features and technology.   </p>



<p>One such manufacturer that has been designing a driver-oriented vehicle rich in features, tech and comfort is Tata. There is no need for an introduction to Tata since they are the leading CV and passenger car makers in the country. </p>



<p>In the anticipation of an era with a feature-rich CV, Tata has already set out on a venture to create one of the most premium and comfortable commercial vehicles in the country- <em>The Tata Intra V30</em>. </p>



<p>The Tata Intra V30 is one of the best commercial vehicles that the company has on offer. As the title suggests, we will be looking into the 5 best Points as to why the Tata Intra V30 Is the Best truck In India. </p>

<h4>Tata Intra V30 as a big truck:</h4>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Tata-Intra-V30-Top-View.png" alt="5 points why the Tata Intra V30 is the best" class="wp-image-34078"/></figure></div>



<p>The Intra V30 is one of the bigger trucks in the segment. Tata motors state that the company is focused on providing fleet owners with a bigger truck that can carry goods above 1T on long journeys.  This vehicle is best suitable for fleet owners who are seeking to upgrade from the Tata Ace which belongs to the sub 1T category. </p>



<p>The Intra V30 has a payload capacity of 1300Kg which is necessary to carry high-value cargos and heavy goods on long journeys. It is undoubtedly the best truck to choose from the wide array of 1t cargo hauliers in the country. </p>



<p>The loading area of the vehicle is sized 2690mm x1607mm. This is quite impressive as the Intra V30 can carry extra loads than the sub 1T trucks without any hindrances. The more the load, the more the revenue, so in these terms, the vehicle is absolutely a value for money product. </p>



<p>In addition to this, the Intra V30 gets bigger tyres of the size 185 R14 which are enough and more to get good fuel economy figures while carrying heavy loads. </p>



<h4>Tata Intra V30 as a style statement:</h4>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Tata-Intra-V30-exterior.jpg" alt="5 points why the Tata Intra V30 is the best" class="wp-image-34076"/></figure></div>



<p>The design language of the Intra V30 is exceptionally good. It gets a stylish cabin with a unique front grill. The vehicle has graphics on the sides which say Intra. The vehicle is good in terms of comfort and features but it is also appealing and worth every penny that you spend since it gets a trendy exterior look. </p>



<p>The vehicle gets a tinge of grey metallics near the front fog lamp setup. The headlights too look premium and are unique. One look at the headlights will immediately help people identify this premium vehicle. We believe that wheel caps change the look of the tyres and give every vehicle the alloy wheel like looks. Here on the Intra too one can see that treatment. The chrome badging adds to the stylish looks of this vehicle. </p>



<h4><strong>Intra V30 as a comfortable vehicle:</strong></h4>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Tata-Intra-V30-Interior-.jpg" alt="5 points why the Tata Intra V30 is the best" class="wp-image-34077"/></figure></div>



<p>Like the exterior, the interior of the Tata Intra V30 looks premium and comfortable. The dashboard has enough storage space to keep small items like a mobile phone. There is ample storage and the vehicle is equipped with an electronic power-assisted steering wheel which makes it easy to control the vehicle and get a precise steering output. </p>



<p>The driver can experience a fatigue-free drive thanks to the comfortable seats with headrest. Also, during rush hours with peak traffic levels, the vehicle is easy to drive. Tough traffic conditions are a piece of cake for this vehicle. It is easy to navigate through narrow roads and U-turns can be made without any difficulties thanks to the short turning radius. This vehicle gets a turning radius of 5.25 m which is impressive considering the size of this vehicle. </p>

<h4>Tata Intra V30 as a Powerful machine: </h4>



<p>The Intra V30 gets a 1496cc engine which is a 4-cylinder equipped with a direct injection system that can present output of 70hp at a peak torque of 140Nm. This means that the vehicle is powerful to carry loads of 1300kg with ease. The gross weight of the vehicle is also something to consider. The vehicle weighs 2565Kg which is not bad for a truck this size. </p>



<p>The vehicle gets a robust semi-elliptical leaf spring- front 5 leaves and rear 8 leaves which are essential for taking over tough challenging terrains. This means that the vehicle is also good for semi-urban and rural drives. The overall length of the truck is 4460 mm which means that this truck is easy to commute through traffic and sharp turns. </p>



<h4>Intra V30 as a revenue maker:</h4>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Tata-Intra-V30-Modes.png" alt="5 points why the Tata Intra V30 is the best" class="wp-image-34079"/></figure></div>



<p>Let us keep all the other facts aside because the main purpose of such a CV is to get good revenues at the end of each day. This vehicle is best for transporting goods that are of high value. The vehicle can carry a good amount of cargo which means more revenue. On the fuel efficiency part, the Intra V30 gets a gear shift advisor which will assist in changing gears at the right rev mark. This ultimately saves fuel and helps in receiving better fuel economy figures. </p>



<p>In addition to this, the vehicle gets two drive modes- Eco and Normal. The eco mode is to getter better fuel efficiency irrespective of the fact that the vehicle is carrying a load. The normal mode provides better pickup and initial pull while climbing flyovers or steep terrain. </p>



<p>The company also claims that the maintenance and service cost of the Intra V30 is lesser than its competitors. This should be a big relief for Intra V30 customers. </p>



<p>Finally, the vehicle is priced at Rs. 6.92 to 7.22 Lakh (ex-showroom). Considering the fact that this vehicle is feature-loaded and comes with a huge potential to carry heavy loads, the price should not be a matter of concern to fleet owners.</p>

Here Are 5 Points As To Why The Tata Intra V30 Is The Best Truck

<p>Now that the covers from the Compass facelift have been taken off with the pricing revealed, there are chances that many of you will compare the Harrier and the Compass and fall into a dilemma. Read this article of ours to see as to how the recently launched Jeep Compass Facelift compares vs the Tata Harrier so that your dilemma gets cleared.</p>



<p>So how do these two highly capable vehicles fare up against each other</p>



<p>1. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Powertrain Options</span></strong> - Here are the powertrain options of the two vehicles at a glance.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Vehicle</td><td>Jeep Compass Facelift Petrol - 1.4 Turbo Petrol</td><td>Jeep Compass Facelift Diesel - 2.0 Turbo Diesel </td><td>Tata Harrier - 2.0 Turbo Diesel </td></tr><tr><td>Power </td><td> 160&nbsp;<strong>bhp</strong>&nbsp;@ 5500 rpm. </td><td> 168 bhp @ 3750 rpm </td><td> 168 bhp @ 3750 rpm </td></tr><tr><td>Torque </td><td> 250 Nm @ 2500 rpm </td><td> 350 Nm @ 1750 rpm </td><td> 350 Nm @ 1750 rpm </td></tr><tr><td>Gearbox</td><td>6 Speed Manual/7-speed Dual Clutch automatic </td><td>6 speed Manual/ 9 speed Automatic </td><td>6-speed manual/6-speed automatic </td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>So when it comes to both the cars, the diesel manual variants are more or less on even keel. However, unlike the Harrier, the Jeep Compass facelift comes with not only a petrol engine that gets manual and dual-clutch automatic gearbox options but also gets a 9-speed automatic unit with diesel engine unlike the 6-speed Hyundai-sourced automatic unit present on the Harrier. So in terms of the powertrain choices offered, the Compass is ahead of the Harrier by a fair margin</p>

<p>2. <strong>Space</strong> - Before we tell you more about the space on offer here are the dimensions of the two cars at a glance. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Vehicle</td><td>Jeep Compass</td><td>Tata Harrier</td></tr><tr><td>Length</td><td>4405 mm </td><td>4598 mm </td></tr><tr><td>Width </td><td>1818 mm</td><td>1894 mm </td></tr><tr><td>Height </td><td>1640 mm </td><td>1706 mm </td></tr><tr><td>Wheelbase </td><td>2636 mm </td><td>2741 mm </td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>Going by the dimensions, the Harrier is substantially bigger than the Compass. The longer wheelbase of the Harrier means that it not only has more space on the inside, but the overall larger dimensions mean that the Harrier also ends up having better road presence than the Compass.</p>



<p>3.<strong> Interiors and Features</strong> - The Compass with its updated interior now feels a lot more premium and upmarket. It would be fair to say that the interiors look and feel like they from a segment above. It now gets a  larger 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment unit which now gets equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in a wireless format. The top of tine variant now gets integrated Alexa support, connected car technology, wireless charging, 360-degree camera, 8-way power-adjustable front seats, ventilated seats and a powered tailgate. The panoramic sunroof continues as before. <br><br>Harrier here lags the Compass facelift as it misses out some nifty features like Alexa support, 360 degree camera and wireless charging. Not to mention that the Harrier gets only a 6-way power-adjustable driver's seat and an 8.8 inch touchscreen. However it is important to note that the Harrier's cabin in no way feels inferior. Infact the tan upholstery makes the overall cabin experience a very premium one.</p>

<p>3. <strong>Pricing</strong> - This is where the Harrier actually takes the lead from the Compass. When comparing the on-road prices of top-spec variants of the Compass and the Harrier, the difference in some places actually turns out to be in excess of 10 lakhs. So the Harrier actually makes up for whatever small shortcomings it has vis a vis the Compass when it comes to the pricing aspect.</p>



<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Our Verdict on Compass Facelift vs Tata Harrier</span></strong><br>Speaking purely from a value proposition based perspective, the Harrier appeals not only to the mind but to the pocket as well considering the fact that feature is not too much as per the price difference and that the Harrier is a bigger car as well. The Compass facelift is mainly for those people who want to have the slight exclusivity offered by the Jeep badge.</p>

Jeep Compass Facelift Vs Tata Harrier - Which Midsize SUV To Get?

<p><strong>Updated on May 14, 2021 - </strong>In this article, we have shared with you our First Drive Review of the Maruti Suzuki Brezza Petrol Automatic and Manual versions. Recently, the company has hiked the prices of the Vitara Brezza and you can click<a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/maruti-brezza-new-vs-old-price-list"> HERE</a> to check out its latest prices. </p>



<p><strong>Original Article - August 1, 2020; </strong>Ever since its launch in 2016, the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza has been the segment leader in the sub 4m compact SUV market. Yes, the Hyundai Venue gave it a tough fight, even overtaking it in terms of sales for a month or two but thanks to discounts and clever marketing, the Brezza regained its crown and how. However, with BS6 norms ticking in away from 1st of April, there is a BIG shift at Maruti Suzuki. No more diesel which also means the good old Brezza gets a new heart. The company took this opportunity to give it a facelift as well and off we went to Goa to spend a couple of days with what Maruti terms as #PowerToBeWicked - is the new Maruti Brezza Petrol that good? Click to watch the video below or continue to read our review here! </p>


<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Cg1sZYAIoLg" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p>


<p>The updated 2020 Maruti Brezza Petrol was showcased at the Auto Expo just a few weeks back. Pricing was revealed earlier this month and though we all know how it looks from the outside and inside, a big question remained unanswered till now - how is it to drive? This isn't an entirely new motor from Maruti as we already see in other offerings like the XL6 and Ciaz but for the Brezza, its a complete change of heart. But before I go down to the driving bit, let me quickly run you through the changes made on the design front. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/12020-maruti-brezza-petrol.jpg" alt="Maruti brezza petrol" class="wp-image-4034"/></figure>



<p>The overall body shell remains unaltered but the front of the new Maruti Brezza Petrol has seen a lot of changes. For starters, you have LED projectors lamps in here now with a new design for the DRLs. These also double up as indicators and looks uber cool. This is also the first time we get to see such a bling set-up on any Maruti or Suzuki model till date! The grille too is new and gels along well with the lamps, giving the front a wide stance. Maruti designers have also played around with a new bumper which means in comes a new skid plate and fog lamp housings. Overall, the effect is appealing and with new colour options on the plate, the updated Maruti Brezza Petrol does look better in flesh. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/52020-maruti-brezza-petrol.jpg" alt="Maruti brezza petrol" class="wp-image-4033"/></figure>



<p>Side profile remains unchanged save for the new machine cut alloy wheels. The ones you see here are offered on the top spec ZXI+ trim only. They come with the same size tyres - 215/60 R16. In our case, the media vehice was fitted with Apollo units. At the back, there is a new LED pattern for the same tail lights and a tweaked design for the rear skid plate. Overall, the Brezza now carries a fresh appeal on the outside. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/162020-maruti-brezza-petrol.jpg" alt="Maruti brezza petrol" class="wp-image-4042"/></figure>



<p>Step in and you are greeted with the same design as the outgoing version - no changes in here at all. In terms of features though, you now get an auto dimming feature for the inner review mirror and the updated Smart Play Studio functionality for the touch-screen interface. The rest of the cabin remains as it is - practical, functional and long lasting. That said, rivals have upped the game with add-ons like a sunroof, wireless charging, leather seats et al. Infact, though I appreciate the space on offer, Maruti could have (finally) introduced rear air-con vents in the 2020 Maruti Brezza Petrol. Shocked? Even I am! </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/82020-maruti-brezza-petrol.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4026"/></figure>



<p>And this gets us to the biggest change in the new Brezza. It's got a new heart, the same unit that Maruti uses in other models. In terms of specs, its got a 17% larger capacity, produces 15% more power but torque is down by 31%. Does this make a big issue in real-world driving? Not really! I drove both the manual and automatic versions on the drive and was literally surprised, in a good way. The manual first - its got a typical Maruti shift quality, so that means gear slot in easily and no complaints on this front. NVH levels are a huge improvement but its the way Maruti has geared it short (MT model) that leaves a smile on your face. 1st is good for just over 40 before you hit the rev limited at 6100 and 2nd takes you just over 80 km/h - this short gearing adds to the punch and also aids city driving. Also, under the diesel model, there is no turbo lag here which means immediately actions from the right foot, in slow-moving traffic, are taken care of! </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/112020-maruti-brezza-petrol.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4038"/></figure>



<p>The Brezza petrol manual loves picking up speeds from low engine speeds. 30 km/h in 4th ain't an issue and likewise, the 3rd can be used from as low as 15 km/h without any protest from the motor. This is a big boon for city runs and also ends up aiding the economy. Like I said before, this does not come at the cost of outright performance and this will definitely delight enthusiasts. The automatic on the other hand uses a 4-speed torque converter, the same we see on some of the other Maruti offerings. Forget the number '4', for this is a very good gearbox that takes out the best from the engine. Gear shifts are smooth (big from the low cost AGS / AMT on the Brezza diesel) and you have the option of picking from '2' or 'L' when the need arises. The automatic Brezza petrol also comes with Maruti's Smart Hybrid tech and this not only aids acceleration, thanks to the electric motor, but also saves fuel and hence gets a higher rating for the ARAI certification.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/42020-maruti-brezza-petrol.jpg" alt="Maruti brezza petrol" class="wp-image-4031"/></figure>



<p>In terms of ride and handling, not much has changed here. The front end is slightly lighter now but you can still throw this compact SUV into corners and curves and exit them with a grin plastered across your face. Steering is largely light for city runs but does not give up at all as speeds rise. This is confidence aspiring and the brakes too do their job well. In terms of ride quality, you can feel an underlying firmness and that does help off the road or when driving with a full load of passengers. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/262020-maruti-brezza-petrol.jpg" alt="Maruti brezza petrol" class="wp-image-4047"/></figure>



<p>With the top spec ZXI+ trim retailing at under Rs 10 lakh, I do like the overall package. The automatic will cost you about a lakh and half more (on-road) but that adds to the convenience factor while being frugal too. Yes, not all diesel fans will get converted here with the new Maruti Brezza petrol, but for most of the (prospective) owners out there in the market, the new model ticks all the right boxes. Its smoother, peppier, more affordable and looks better too. Would I recommend one? Definitely!   </p>

Maruti Brezza Petrol Automatic & Manual Review

Mahindra XUV300 Petrol Manual Review - A Car That Left Me Astonished!

<p>Nissan Magnite is scheduled to get launched on 2nd December and we anticipate really competitive pricing. We have already driven the Magnite at the official drive event and we were actually impressed with the efforts Nissan has put. The Nissan Magnite is available in two engine options and the turbo one is our pick. Want to know how fast the turbo petrol? Is the CVT faster than the Manual? We have measured the 0-100 and kick down performance of the Nissan Magnite to answer just that!</p>


<p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hlq4IpnIxco" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p>


<p>We drove both the turbo 5-speed manual and CVT at the drive event and it was the CVT which impressed us the most. If you want to know our thoughts, check out our review by clicking <strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrfNMXdnkCM&amp;t=2s">here</a></strong>. Moving further, talking about the turbo CVT first, it clocked 0-60 km/h time of 5.9 seconds and 0-100 km/h time of 12.8 seconds. The turbo manual, on the other hand, clocked 0-60 km/h time of 5.1 seconds and 0-100 km/h time of 12.1 seconds.</p>



<p>Also read: <strong><a href="https://www.91wheels.com/news/nissan-magnite-pros-and-cons-best-from-nissan-yet/">Nissan Magnite Pros And Cons - Best From Nissan Yet?</a></strong></p>



<p>So the turbo manual of the Nissan Magnite is faster than the turbo CVT. However, the margin between the two isn't that much - even lesser than a second. Given the supreme convenience the X-Tronic CVT from Nissan offers, the acceleration is very brisk and impressive. It is worth noting that the CVT model gets 152 Nm of torque which is lesser than the 160 Nm we get in the turbo manual.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Screenshot-1.jpg" alt="Nissan Magnite 0-100 Performance" class="wp-image-26270"/></figure>



<p>Also, in the video, you can see that the kick down acceleration in the CVT is much better than the turbo manual. The RPMs climb up much faster when compared to the manual and gives a strong surge of torque tp move things further. Nissan has indeed done a fantastic tuning with the CVT which results in amazing part-throttle responses. In conclusion, the 0-100 and kick down performance of the Nissan Magnite is great, if not the best in its segment. </p>

Nissan Magnite 0-100 and kick down Performance Runs - See How Fast it is!

<p><strong><em>SUVs are the new cool, they say it like that, don't they?</em></strong> Yes, with this rising trend, sales of SUVs in the Indian market are booming and every carmaker is competing with each other to provide the best product. And not just that, carmakers know how price-sensitive Indians are and they do not want to risk it at all. But then you see, the famous German carmaker, Volkswagen bringing in a new SUV, T-Roc, which is priced at Rs 19.99 Lakh. So what makes it special? And how does it drive? Is it worth the money? Or it is just a rich spoilt kid with European advantages? Let's find out in this first drive review of Volkswagen T-Roc.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/volkswagen-t-roc-india6.png" alt="Volkswagen T-Roc Drive Review Image" class="wp-image-23137"/><figcaption>Volkswagen T-Roc Drive Review</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>Is the Volkswagen T-Roc Worth Its Money?</strong></p>



<p>Well, having driven this SUV over the weekend, one thing I can say that this is a flamboyant one and deserves its place when you buy it with a heart and not the money-conscious mind. As they say, <strong><em>Shauk badi cheez hai</em></strong>. So yes, if you are in the market to buy a full-fledged German SUV that provides good safety, excellent build material and a sweet, peppy petrol motor, then this is the one for you. </p>



<p><strong>How does it drive?</strong></p>



<p>I have said this before and will repeat myself again, this is a compact SUV rather than a premium hatchback on steroids. But when you are behind the wheel, it really feels superior and gives you the best of both the worlds. That means driving pleasure as well as the mileage. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/volkswagen-t-roc-india18.png" alt="Volkswagen T-Roc Drive Review Image" class="wp-image-23142"/></figure>



<p>The steering feels light at lower speeds which makes it easier to drive in city and while parking in tight spaces. Once you're clocking triple digits speeds or say above 70 km/h you will notice how the steering gives you the high-speed confidence and you are able to cruise normally without having to worry too much about high speed manners. Another thing which I like about the T-Roc is the cornering stability with its swift response and well controlled body rolls.</p>



<p>One interesting feature is of the <strong><em>lane assist</em></strong> which at times gives you confidence but mostly scares you if you aren't too careful. Maybe we Indians are not used to it or call it as a high-class safety feature which Indian roads are not apt for. The basic function of the lane assist system is to keep the car in a particular lane. <strong><em>That means if you have this Switched ON on Indian roads then the steering will force you to keep the vehicle in lane</em></strong>. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/volkswagen-t-roc-india13.png" alt="" class="wp-image-23140"/></figure>



<p>So this becomes a risky affair if you are used to driving with one hand and not following a particular lane. You have to hold the steering wheel with both your hands. I had my own fun where I wanted to check if it will work on the translucent lane and to my surprise, it didn't. I mostly had this feature off during the time I had this car. </p>



<p>It is a CBU import and carries all the goodness like its international model. The suspension is slightly on the stiffer side and at lower speeds, sharp bumps will be felt inside the cabin. But those vanish as soon as you put your foot on the throttle and this <strong><em>not so small SUV</em></strong> glides over them. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/volkswagen-t-roc-india5.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-23149"/><figcaption>Volkswagen T-Roc Drive Review </figcaption></figure>



<p>Paddle shifters really make it a worthy match considering its size. Just press the (- or +) and you are good to take the controls manually. This engine is refined and once you hit that mid-range, it brings a grin to your face. The turbo spools up and there you go. It has no problem reaching the 6,500 rpm mark at all. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/volkswagen-t-roc-india14.png" alt="" class="wp-image-23145"/></figure>



<p>Even when you have to overtake the vehicle in front of you at highways and you are driving it on the D7 mode at 90 km/h, one press at the accelerator and it shifts three gears down and at D4 it gives you an intense boost of performance. The system is smart enough to understand the mechanism and you need not take matters in your own hands (I mean through paddle shifters).</p>


<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nuLaaXzTFnY" width="727" height="409" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>


<p>But driving aggressively like above definitely takes a toll on the fuel economy and we at <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="91Wheels (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmRNHqMiIEc&amp;list=PL7yEWuLhKdjiUbpNSYmB_34ux62jb8ed6" target="_blank">91Wheels</a></strong> do not like that. Yes, with our fuel efficiency runs and bringing you the correct information about the mileage, we drove with a light foot and when the ECO mode on the instrument cluster appears, the car automatically shuts off the two cylinders. Yep, that's possible. It certainly saves up fuel and gives you a better mileage. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/volkswagen-t-roc-india8.png" alt="" class="wp-image-23134"/></figure>



<p>One thing that constantly bugged me while driving this SUV or while writing this review was the blind spot. So if you have to park it into tight spaces then you have to be really good at what you do and not scratch the car. Take a test ride and you will know. </p>



<p><strong>Space and Comfort</strong></p>



<p>After enjoying behind the wheel scenes with the T-Roc, I decided to take a back seat experience on how well it packs space on the inside. To my surprise, it doesn't. I mean, it is good for two people but adding one more will add to discomfort only. Also, the space is sufficient and not the best in class. Don't get me wrong, the rear seats are comfortable but then there is shortage of knee-room and headroom in here. The roof has been scooped out but still, tall passengers will definitely complain.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/volkswagen-t-roc-india15.png" alt="" class="wp-image-23141"/></figure>



<p>Also, no electrically adjustable front seats. At least if I am paying Rs 19.99 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi, I should be given this basic feature. I really disliked this very thing in the car. I had to adjust the seat manually whenever our camera guy used to take shots and disrupt the seating position. </p>



<p>The boot space is good with 445 litres carrying capacity for the weekend trip. But a little more than that, it will be a problem. Of course, you can fold the rear seats for more space if you are just 2 people on board. It has a good loading target which helped in keeping our camera gears and bags easily.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/volkswagen-t-roc-india1.jpg" alt="Volkswagen T-Roc Drive Review Image" class="wp-image-23144"/></figure>



<p>It gets an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system which has a good touch response and gets modern connectivity features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Volkswagen T-Roc is also equipped with a panoramic sunroof, electronic parking brakes, six airbags, front parking sensors, push-button start, lane assist system, rear disc brakes, digital instrument cluster, dual-zone climate control is some of the features it gets. </p>



<p><strong>Verdict</strong></p>



<p>Well, as I said above, if you are to buy this SUV for great driving pleasure and that peppy petrol motor, then go for it. If money is not an issue and you are to drive this SUV and take weekend trips, then go for it. It is rich in features and is definitely a looker wherever you go.  This isn't quite an SUV for people who have a family.</p>

Volkswagen T-Roc Drive Review: Compact Yet Fun To Drive SUV

2020 KTM RC 200 BS6 First Look Review - The Most Well-Balanced RC in India?

<p>Maruti Suzuki XL6 has been our long term companion for 60 days or 2 months now and I picked it up on October 31st from Bunny Punia. This XL6 is the top of the line Alpha variant and comes with a sole 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. The good thing was that ours was equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox.</p>



<p><strong>Date of Arrival - 27th September 2020<br>Odo at Arrival - 13819<br>Odo currently - 15914</strong></p>



<p>I have been using the XL6 as my daily drive for a month now and have clocked 1000 km just like I did in the pre-corona times. Needless to say, I am impressed with the way it looks and how supremely spacious this is from the inside. One can actually move into a house with this one. Well, I actually did stuff in my cycle, mattresses, carpets and still, there was a bit of space left for more cargo. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Maruti-XL6.jpg" alt="Maruti XL6 Long Term Review Image" class="wp-image-26700"/><figcaption>Maruti XL6 Long Term Review</figcaption></figure>



<p>Bunny has described how this one looks and the link to that is right <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="here (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.91wheels.com/expert-review/maruti-xl6-long-term-review" target="_blank">here</a></strong> but I will not mention anything about its design but some shortcomings which are quite visible to the naked eyes. The 15-inch wheel size with 185/65 R15 dimension looks small on this huge car. Just an inch more and the car would have looked awesome.</p>



<p>The second thing, in my opinion, is the disproportionate body cladding on the side profile and lower portions of doors. One look at the rear door from either side and you notice the huge panel gap which does not give away a superior look from the Ertiga on which it is based. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Maruti-XL6-3.jpg" alt="Maruti XL6 Long Term Review Image" class="wp-image-26705"/></figure>



<p>Jumping inside and you notice the all-black interiors which really gives it a plush look. To be honest, I am not a fan of beige and black interiors so I was quite happy to ditch my Grand i10 and use this as my daily driver. Yes, it missed the torque like the diesel but hey, it does get Smart Hybrid. </p>



<p><strong>Driving Pleasure</strong></p>



<p>Coming straight to the driving part and how it drives then the 1.5-litre petrol is suitable for the city and for highway usage. It produces 103 bhp with 138 Nm of peak torque and the 5-speed manual is light to use and it delivered me a pretty decent mileage. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Maruti-XL6-1-1.jpg" alt="Maruti XL6 Long Term Review Image" class="wp-image-26708"/><figcaption>Yep, that is for real, however, on highway speed, it may not deliver this much! Well, we'll find that soon enough</figcaption></figure>



<p>Honestly, I drove it with an extremely light foot which sure can be tiring for some but hey, it delivered me above 20 km/l in my 100 km daily run. But when the mood was right and I used the longer route to work, I experienced the motor in an extremely raw manner. By that I mean, it revs easily till 6200-6300 RPM and god it gets noisy. </p>



<p>Another thing which I liked is that because of the mid flat range, you can easily engage the 5th gear when doing between 40 and 50 and there will be no lag when you are using the throttle gently. That is how good this engine is. Also, the NVH levels are adequate and the engine is supremely refined. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Maruti-XL6-7.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26701"/><figcaption>Sometimes this family MPV likes to be with two-wheelers also</figcaption></figure>



<p>In common man's world and when you are not doing FE tests, once can easily achieve between 15-18 km/l which is quite good for a car of this size. The car feels comfortable at triple digits and even though the steering feels on a heavier side for city usage, out on the open roads it really gives you confidence. </p>



<p>One interesting and the most helpful bit I found was Maruti's Smart Hybrid system. Here, the ISG is paired with a lithium-ion and a lead-acid battery which regenerates the braking energy and provides with torque assist. This is quite helpful in the city runs when you need that torque boost to move out of the jam. Another is the idle start/stop which can be annoying at times because the car automatically stops when you put it in neutral and gets On when you press the clutch. For those wondering if they can turn this feature off then yes, you can!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Maruti-XL6-5.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26703"/><figcaption>Parked at one of the tightest places in Delhi</figcaption></figure>



<p>Another thing is that the smart hybrid works at a certain speed for every gear. Suppose you are cruising at 70 km/h at 5th gear and you need to slow down. Now when you reach 41 km/h at 5th gear, till that time the regenerative system works and below that, it stops. That means now you need to engage in 4th gear and simultaneously adjust the gear ratios to the speed in order to work the motor which then feeds to the battery. To be honest, it seemed fair. </p>



<p>While doing this you can observe how the motor works in absorbing the energy in the MID and can see how many green bars are present. You get a total of five bars and this system gets activated at 3 or more bars only. Similarly, when you push the pedal hard then the motor provides you with that torque assist and you can very well see that in the throttle response as well in the MID that how the smart hybrid system works. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Maruti-XL6-6.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-26702"/><figcaption>Doesn't it look amazing? I think it does!<br>Maruti XL6 Long Term Review</figcaption></figure>



<p>I used the driver's seat so had no idea what was in like the rear seats, but my family and friends sat in both the rows and they were completely satisfied with the comfort. However, one thing which we all complained was the suspension and for the person sitting in the last row, it gets real rough when you have to travel on bad roads. As for the other two roads, it is okayish. You do hear the noise of large potholes though.</p>



<p>This Maruti XL6 will be our long term car for another month and if you have any questions regarding that, do let us know in the comment section below. We will surely answer to it and will present to you a fuel economy test run also. </p>

Maruti XL6 Long Term Review - 28 Days And 1000 Km Later

<p>The XL6 arrived <strong><em><a href="https://www.91wheels.com/expert-review/maruti-xl6-long-term-review">last month</a></em></strong> for a 3 month long term experience here at 91Wheels and as stated earlier, it did take us for a much needed break outside the limits of NCR. The vacation also saw the Maruti XL6 completing one month with us and here is a quick update on how it has been faring till now. </p>



<p><strong>Date of arrival</strong>: 27th September <br><strong>Odo at arrival</strong>: 13819 <br><strong>Odo currently</strong>: 14900<br><strong>Fuel economy</strong>: 15-17 (highway), 12-14 (city) </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/maruti-xl6-ownership-experience1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-24152"/></figure>



<p>As you can see above, the XL6 has covered over 1000km in the last one month. A major contribution to this was the 650km round trip to Bhimtal lake and back. Due to ample shoots and test cars coming in, the car was otherwise not used much inside Delhi NCR. Back to the trip, the XL6 took in four adults, two kids and luggage for the 4 day road trip. I wasn't expecting it to be so spacious but surprisingly, this Ertiga based Nexa offering did not disappoint us at all. Infact, individual seats in the 2nd row meant the kids could shuffle between this place and the 3rd row easily. Removal of a bench also gives a sense of airiness.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/maruti-xl6-ownership-experience5.jpg" alt="maruti xl6" class="wp-image-24156"/></figure>



<p>What we didn't like though was the comfort factor from the front two seats. Both me and dad shared the same opinion and we did have a mild back ache by the end of the trip. Likewise, the suspension, under such a load, doesn't take undulations pretty well. That said, the XL6 performed flawlessly and the torque push from the electric motor of the hybrid set-up comes very handy. This combined with short gearing meant the 3rd gear was used best between 25-40km/h, even on uphill sections. The LED lights also do their job pretty well and are useful for clearing out the right lane on open roads. In terms of fuel economy, it delivers an easy 17-18 kmpl with the cruise set at 90km/h and A/C running. Overall, for the Bhimtal trip, it returned over 15 kmpl which includes the hill driving. SHVS comes handy inside town when brake regen charges up the secondary battery that in turn powers the lil electric motor. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/maruti-xl6-ownership-experience4.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-24155"/></figure>



<p>The Maruti XL6 will remain with us for a couple of more months and yes, another trip shall be planned up soon! The car will also go through our fuel economy run soon. Stay tuned... </p>

Maruti XL6 Petrol Manual Long Term Update

<p>The XL6 was launched last year and created a niche for itself in the Rs 10-12 lakh bracket. Based on the successful <strong><em><a href="https://www.91wheels.com/cars/maruti/ertiga">Ertiga</a></em></strong>, the XL6 is aimed towards buyers who want a family vehicle but with sportier intentions and individual second row seats for added comfort levels. This 6 seater is sold via <strong><em><a href="https://www.nexaexperience.com/">Nexa outlets</a></em></strong> and for the next three months, we will be bring you updates as we munch up miles, as part of our Maruti XL6 long term review. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-28-at-2.15.28-PM-3.jpeg" alt="xl6 long term review" class="wp-image-21808"/></figure>



<p>We picked up the media vehicle yesterday and it already had almost 14,000km on the odometer. This one is the 1.5 litre manual version though Maruti also offers an optional 4-speed automatic gearbox. There is no diesel engine option in the pipeline but the mild hybrid set-up ensures the XL6 will deliver decent mileage figures in urban runs. We plan to cover a lot of miles in this Nexa offering and the XL6 will also see a couple of outstation trips in the next few weeks. <br><br><strong>Date of arrival:</strong> 27th September <br><strong>Odometer reading on arrival:</strong> 13819</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-28-at-2.15.28-PM-5.jpeg" alt="xl6 long term review" class="wp-image-21810"/><figcaption><em>The XL6 gets Maruti's mild hybrid tech</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>As I said earlier, it is based on the Ertiga but ends up getting its own identity due to multiple changes on the outside. The headlamps for example are new and the LEDs do ensure excellent illumination at night. The all around black cladding also lends it a sportier stance. That said, we would have liked taller and wider tyres on this one. The biggest change in on the inside, with the bench 2nd row being replaced with individual seats. This also means kids can walk through the seats to the last row. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://images.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-28-at-2.15.28-PM-2.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-21807"/></figure>



<p>As part of our XL6 long term review, we will also be conducting a fuel economy test on this one next month. Likewise, we will test out its capabilities when it comes to seating 6 adults in comfort. If you have any particular question about the XL6, do let us know by leaving a comment in the section below. </p>

Maruti XL6 Petrol Manual Long Term Review: Introduction

<p>India&rsquo;s oldest surviving passenger car maker still holds over 50% of the market share even today. The company now sells vehicles through two divisions, namely, Arena and Nexa showrooms. Monthly sales continue to be over a lac units consistently and the company is present in as many as a dozen segment of cars. Maruti&rsquo;s unbeatable network of showrooms and workshops across the length and breadth of the nation is a major deciding factor for new car buyers. From the most affordable car in India, Alto 800, to their range topping XL6 premium MPV, the range of cars from Maruti covers over 80% of the market requirements today.</p>

Honda is a Japanese manufacturer worldwide acclaimed for its cars, motorcycles, and power equipment appliances. When Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) started its India operations in 1999, it was Honda&rsquo;s fourth automotive joint-venture in India. However, in 2010 the company decided to move out of the <i>Hero-Honda</i> joint venture and started focusing on its entirely-owned Indian subsidiary HMSI. Honda is a very popular two-wheeler brand in India especially famous for its gearless scooters like the Activa range which always sells more than 2 lakh units a month and mile-muncher commuters like the Honda Shine. Honda also offers a host of other motorcycles in India with variable engine displacements and it also retails premium motorcycles in India through its BigWing Dealerships.&nbsp;</span></span></p>

<div>&nbsp;</div>


<p>One of the youngest players in the Indian car market has a British heritage but comes under a major Chinese player, SIAC. This company (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation) has multiple automobile brands under its umbrella and this gives MG an upper hand when it comes to picking a model for Indian use. The Hector is a perfect example, being retailed under various badges worldwide. Their second product, the ZS EV too is not a made-for-India vehicle likewise. As massive R&amp;D costs are saved, it allows the company to price their vehicles very competitively, which making sure they are feature loaded, comfortable and future ready. We say, if you have any apprehensions about the Chinese parent company, don&rsquo;t think too much as this brand is here to stay for long, with reliable vehicles. Go for one!</p>


<p><span style="font-kerning: none">Hero MotoCorp Limited, formerly known as Hero Honda, is one of India&rsquo;s oldest and leading two-wheeler manufacturers. Hero Honda was formed back in 1984 as a joint venture between Hero Cycles of India and Honda of Japan. The joint-venture parted their ways in 2010 and Hero Group started its second inning in India as Hero MotoCorp. The Indian bike-maker, Hero MotoCorp, is not just India&rsquo;s but the world&rsquo;s largest two-wheeler manufacturer. Till date, the Indian motorcycle brand has sold more than 75 million two-wheelers and enjoys unbeatable success in the mass-market segment of the country. Hero MotoCorp has a wide range of products in its portfolio ranging from the affordable mile-muncher Hero Splendor to the off-roader Hero Xpulse 200 and even youthful scooters like the Hero Maestro Edge. The company enjoys about 46% market share in the two-wheeler category with a tagline &lsquo;<i>Hum Main Hai Hero</i>&rsquo; and a beautiful advertising slogan &lsquo;Fill It - Shut It - Forget It!&rsquo;</span></p>


<p>Set-up in 1996, Hyundai brought in technology and features never before seen on any Indian made car. The (then) Santro was a perfect example and over the years, this Korean giant has ensured a solid number two position in terms of sales. They continue to sell over 40,000 units on a monthly basis and overtaken Maruti in some segments as well. The company has been experimenting with premium products like the Santa Fe, Tucson and Elantra and has not lost its focus from providing a<br />
(more) premium experience to its owners. Most of their new models intact come with segment defining features, something that other manufacturers end up providing in due time.</p>

<p>Maruti Suzuki is keen on bringing the 2021 Celerio that is based on a newer Heartect platform. Several spy shots for the same has been spied on Indian roads but we still don't know when it will be launched. So now we have the rendered images of how the new-gen 2021 Maruti Celerio will look based on its spy shots. </p>



<p>Before we go any further and bring how the 2021 Maruti Suzuki Celerio looks in its rendered form then make sure you are a member of our <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="91Wheels Whatsapp (opens in a new tab)" href="https://chat.whatsapp.com/IZpi9fnhu60Ecv3pFLv2Yo" target="_blank">91Wheels Whatsapp</a></strong> group.

<p>This render takes styling cues from the original patent design that was leaked on the internet a few days ago. At the front, the swptback headlight design takes inspiration from the Alto 800 and you also have a think chrome strip that connects the one end of the headlight to another. </p>

<p>The style of the Celerio is more like a round one rather than the squareish shape that was seen in the older model. You do get fog light housing with blacked in inserts and the air vents present in the centre. You do get body coloured ORVM and the side profile will continue with liftback door handles and new 14-inch wheels. We belive instead of alloys, Maruti Suzuki will provide flex wheels that are cost cutting and also looks good. </p>



<p></p>



<p>Like we said above, the new Celerio is based on the Hearect platform that houses other Maruti cars like Swift, Baleno and WagonR. The new Celerio will not only be increased in dimensions than before but will also carry a decent amount of rear seat space. We also expect a significant increases in the boot space. </p>



<p>Mechanically, we belive that new-gen Celerio will e offered in two engine options - lower variants will pack in the current 1.0L (67bhp/90Nm) while the top-spec will some with 1.2L (82bhp/113 Nm) petrol. Both the engines will get a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard and an AMT as an option.</p>

<p>As far as the prices are concerned, we can expect an increase of Rs 20,000 to Rs 30,000 from the current model. The current Celerio is priced from Rs 4.65 lakh to Rs 5.90 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. We can expect the launch of the new Celerio in the coming few months.</p>
