India's Largest Utility Vehicle maker, Mahindra and Mahindra, is soon going to launch the 2020 Mahindra XUV 500 BS6. The XUV 500 is one of the most plusher-looking cars in its category and Mahindra keeps updating it sporadically. And now Mahindra has updated their official website revealing the details about the BS6-iteration of the XUV 500.

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/xuv-500-dashboard-1.jpg" alt="mahindra xuv 500 dashboard" class="wp-image-5274"/></figure>



The 2020 Mahindra XUV 500 BS6 doesn't get any substantial cosmetic upgrades or feature add-ons but it gets refreshed mechanicals to comply with the new stringent BS6 emission norms. The BS6-compliant XUV 500 will be powered by a 2.2-litre, sixth-generation electronically controlled Variable Geometry Turbocharger (eVGT), mHawk diesel engine. This oil-burner generates 154 bhp at 3,750 RPM and 360 Nm of peak torque between 1,750-2,800 RPM. It comes mated to either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic unit. 



Mahindra XUV 500 BS6 does lose out some features while transitioning from BS4 to BS6. For starters, the BS4-compliant XUV 500 used to get a petrol engine which has now been ditched out and none of the variants of the XUV 500 will now be offered with AWD (all-wheel-drive) technology (which is kind of sad). The carmaker has also discontinued the recently launched entry-level W3 variant.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Mahindra-XUV500-side.jpg" alt="mahindra xuv 500" class="wp-image-5273"/></figure>



The BS6-compliant Mahindra XUV 500 will be offered in a total of seven variants, which include - W5, W7, W9, W11(O), W7 AT, W9 AT and W11(O) AT. Depending on the variant, the BS6-compliant XUV500 will offer electric sunroof, touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, automatic climate control, premium leather upholstery, etc. It also gets modern safety features such as up to 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP with rollover mitigation and more.&nbsp;

The prices for the 2020 Mahindra XUV500 BS6 aren't available yet and the carmaker is expected to launch it once the lockdown gets over. Mahindra’s website currently states that due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, production of vehicles has been delayed and BS6 vehicles aren’t available at the moment. The BS4 Mahindra XUV 500 was priced between Rs. 12.37 lakhs - Rs. 18.69 lakhs, Ex-showroom Delhi and expect the BS6 version to charge a slight premium over the current model.

Toyota Fortuner is one of the most loved SUVs of recent times. The Fortuner was first launched in India in the year 2009 and since then the SUV has had a cult following in the Indian market. The Fortuner has been the best-selling premium SUV in India for more than a decade but in terms of equipment on offer, it has started looking basic in front of the competition. Fret not, the Japanese carmaker is soon going to launch the 2020 Toyota Fortuner Limited Edition in India.

The Toyota Fortuner Limited Edition model will be a bit more feature-loaded than the standard Fortuner. The limited-edition iteration of the SUV is expected to be after the fashion of the Innova Crysta Leadership Edition that was launched recently in the market. It is expected to get a slew of cosmetic updates inside and out along with the inclusion of some new features like a 360-degree parking camera and auto-folding outside rear-view mirrors (ORVMs).



The standard Fortuner is powered by a BS6 compliant 2.8-litre diesel engine churning out 177 bhp and 420 Nm of peak torque mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. It also gets a 6-speed automatic transmission with paddle-shifters that produces an additional 30 Nm of torque. The oil-burner powered Fortuner is available in both 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive configurations. It also gets a 2.7-litre petrol engine which gets only 2-wheel drive layout and produces 166 bhp with 245 Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Limited Edition of the Fortuner is expected to be available only with the oil-burner powerplant.

Automatic cars are gaining more traction in the Indian car market every passing month. Due to the increasing traffic and lowering average speeds on roads, automatic cars make perfect sense for crowded cities. They used to cost a lot some years rewind. But now, we can have an automatic car for less than Rs 5 lakhs too. They don't cost a bomb, are really accessible, reliable, affordable and the option list will grow in the coming few months. We tell you about six upcoming automatic cars under Rs 10 Lakhs which you should wait for!

Renault Triber AMT



Renault Triber was initially launched with a 5-speed manual transmission only. The AMT version was showcased later at the Expo along with a new colour option and a body kit. It was supposed to get launched sometime this month but due to the outbreak of Coronavirus, Renault is taking some time to launch the Triber AMT. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Triber_1.jpg" alt="renault triber bs6 amt" class="wp-image-745" height="480"/></figure>



Renault Triber is powered by a 1.0-litre 3 cylinder petrol engine which churns out 72 Ps and 96 Nm of torque. It will get the same AMT unit we see in Kwid but it will also get manual mode, unlike the Kwid. The AMT variants will cost around Rs 60,000 more than the manual variants. Rest of the mechanicals will remain the same and we might also get to see the AMT with new 1.0-litre turbo engine in the Triber.



Mahindra eKUV100



We know that Mahindra eKUV100 is electric and it is only for commercial buyers only. But electric cars are also considered as automatic cars and eKUV100 will also be launched for private buyers too. Mahindra launched the eKUV100 at the 2020 Auto Expo and it was priced at Rs 8.25 lakhs but it was only available for commercial buyers. Mahindra will soon launch it for private buyers too at a similar price. Mahindra eKUV100 gets a 15.9 kWh battery with fast charging support, it can be charged to 80% in just one hour via a fast charger and once juiced up, it can deliver a range of 147 km on a single charge.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Dc6p5WbUwAAVvMo.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4995"/></figure>



Renault Kigar and Nissan Magnite



Renault and Nissan, both are working on a subcompact SUV based on the CMF-A+ platform which also underpins the Triber. Kigar has been codenamed HBC and has been spied multiple times while on the test. Both the cars will be powered by a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine which is expected to produce close to 100 Hp. The engine will be paired with a 5-speed manual and 5-speed AMT will also be launched.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Nissan_1.jpg" alt="Upcoming Automatic Cars Under 10 Lakhs" class="wp-image-4273" height="480"/></figure>



Renault Kigar will get split headlamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, LED taillights, 8-inch touchscreen infotainment screen, electric sunroof among many other features. Nissan has teased the Magnite with some images and it will offer striking looks. Renault Kigar and Nissan Magnate will lock horns with cars like Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue and Maruti Vitara Brezza. We expect the prices of both cars to start from about Rs 7 lakhs. 



Tata Altroz DCT



Tata Motors launched the Altroz last year and it impressed all of us with its sharp creases and striking design elements. The only problem which everyone agreed with was the lack of automatic transmission options. A big stake of the audience of premium hatchbacks wants the convenience of automatic transmission. Fret not! Sources tell that Tata Motors is developing a DCT unit for the Altroz in house and it will be launched in the market soon. To cope up with a fast-shifting DCT, Tata will launch the 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine which we get in the Nexon, but with a lower state of tune. The prices will be around 1 lakh more than the manual variants.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/IMG_20191205_150901.jpg" alt="tata altroz" class="wp-image-2411" height="480"/></figure>



2020 Hyundai i20



Hyundai is playing big by updating its trump cars in India. After the new Creta and Verna, it is time for the i20. It was unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow. It is all-new from the ground to the top and sports a very striking design. Hyundai i20 will get a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine from the Venue and it will be paired to a 7-speed DCT. Other engines on offer include 1.2-litre petrol engine and 1.5-diesel from the Venue too. It will be priced under Rs 10 lakhs whereas the base variants are expected to kick start from Rs 6 lakhs ex-showroom.

BS6 Honda Jazz CVT



Honda Jazz is a premium hatchback offering from the Japanese carmaker but it has never done well when compared to its chief rivals like i20 and Baleno. Honda Jazz has been taken down from the website at this point of time as new BS6 Honda Jazz is on its way. Honda Jazz, in its BS6 iteration, is expected to get CVT transmissions with both petrol and diesel engine options. 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines will be offered in the new Jazz. However, we don't expect much changes from this updated model. Prices might see a small bump due to BS6 compliant engines. Current-gen Jazz which is now discontinued was priced from Rs 7.45 lakhs to 9.45 lakhs.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/jazz-wallpaper1.jpg" alt="Upcoming Automatic Cars Under 10 Lakhs" class="wp-image-1163" width="720" height="480"/></figure>



Here were the six upcoming automatic cars under Rs 10 Lakhs which you should consider and mark in your wishlist. All the cars mentioned in this list will get launched incoming 6-8 months. You tell us which one would you pick from the aforementioned cars!

Upcoming Automatic Cars Under Rs 10 Lakhs

Maruti Suzuki showcased the petrol-powered S-cross at the 2020 Auto Expo and it was scheduled to get launched this month itself, but due to the outbreak of Coronavirus, the launch has been postponed and we assume that S-cross will be launched next month. Like other Maruti Suzuki cars, S-cross will also only get a petrol engine which will replace the current diesel engine.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/scross-H5-tatic-e1577518921179.png" alt="maruti s-cross petrol" class="wp-image-442"/></figure></div>

Maruti Suzuki S-cross will get a new 1.5-litre petrol engine churning out 105 hp and 138 Nm of torque and this petrol engine will replace the old 1.3-litre DDIS diesel engine which used to produce 90 hp and 200 Nm of torque. The new petrol engine will be offered in both 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic options whereas only the automatic variants are expected to get Suzuki's SHVS smart hybrid technology. We saw the 1.5-litre petrol engine first time in Ciaz, then it was also launched in Ertiga, Brezza and XL6. The diesel S-cross had SHVS in all of its variants.



Talking about the changes, S-cross might get some tweaks inside and out but it will remain more or less the same. The only single major update will be Suzuki's smart play studio touchscreen system which sports both Android Auto and Apple Car Play. Maruti S-cross petrol will be offered in four trims- Sigma, Delta Zeta and Alpha. Except for the base Sigma variant, all the other three variants will get 4-speed automatic option too.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/5-1024x413.jpg" alt="Maruti S-cross petrol launch " class="wp-image-5005" width="720" height="480"/></figure></div>

As the S-cross get a petrol engine now, prices will see a drop and we expect it to be priced from Rs 8.4 lakhs (ex-showroom, New Delhi) for the base Sigma variant and the top-end Alpha to be priced at around Rs 11 lakhs (ex-showroom). The diesel S-cross was priced from Rs 8.81 lakhs to 11.41 lakhs.

The S-Presso is one of the fun AMTs to drive from Maruti's line-up. We say it because we have tested the funky hatchback in city traffic as well as on highways. The S-Presso packs in an automatic gearbox with manual override, which means you can manually change gears too.

If you are not impressed by the Celerio's basic look then you can always choose it's beefier version. Mechanically, nothing is changed in the CelerioX but is is the cosmetic changes which the hatchback carries. It gets roof rails, plastic cladding running across all body, black ORVMs, all-black wheels and more. The top-spec trim of this hatch costs you around Rs 5.67 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. 



Maruti Suzuki Wagon R 1.0 AGS And WagonR 1.2 AGS Price - Rs 5.37 lakh onwards (ex-showroom, Delhi) Engine Capacity - 998 cc/1197 cc, Power - 67 bhp/82 bhp ; Torque - 90 Nm/113 Nm

Top Seven Most Affordable Automatic Cars Under Rs 6 Lakh

Honda marked its entry in the Indian market in 1995. Post the completion of its manufacturing plant, the Japanese automobile giant launched its first product in 1998 - the City. Since then, the mid-size sedan from the brand has remained the flag-bearer of the brand in India. The all-new Honda City is about to be launched in the Indian market in a month or two and with this new executive sedan, the 'City' brand name will enter its fifth generation here. But what about the previous four-generations in the Indian market? Well, here is a brief history of all the four-generations of Honda City in India and what we can expect ahead.



1998 Honda City



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/1920px-Honda_City_third_generation_front_Kajang.jpg" alt="Honda City in India" class="wp-image-5092"/></figure>



The original Honda City in India that is shown above (<a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="pic source (opens in a new tab)" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=3212639" target="_blank">pic source</a>) is often referred to as OHC and changed the Indian market in 1998. It came with two different engine displacements of 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre. The Honda City became a popular car soon after its launch and both families, as well as enthusiasts, started accepting it with open arms. Honda introduced the i-VTEC in 2000 and soon after, it became a cult car with a massive following. With the launch of i-VTEC technology, the Honda City also received a minor facelift that was not a major update but offered round foglamps on the bumper, making it look much more premium. 



The City had to fight it out against the likes of Opel Corsa and Astra, Mitsubishi Lancer, Hyundai Accent, Ford Escort, Ford Ikon, which were sold in the same segment. A total of 59,378 units of the first-generation Honda City were sold in the market.



2003 Honda City - Second Generation



In 2003, Honda launched the second-generation of the Honda City in India. It became popular as the "Dolphin" because of its shape. The City had shed the straight lines to become more rounded and offered a flowing design. The design did not become very popular among the enthusiasts but the mass market loved it. It was launched with a 1.5-litre i-DSI engine that generates a maximum of 77 Bhp. So while the first gen model offered thrills, the second-gen model offered ease of driving, comfort levels and high fuel economy. In 2003, Honda also launched its first-ever automatic CVT in the segment with the introduction of a CVT gearbox. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://auto.ndtvimg.com/car-images/big/honda/city-zx/honda-city-zx.jpg?v=4" alt="Honda City in India"/></figure>



The second-generation Honda City received a major update in 2005 when the 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine was improved to produce a maximum power of 99 Bhp and peak torque of 132 Nm. It was in 2005 that the second-generation Honda City became extremely popular.



Just before its discontinuation, Honda introduced the 10th-anniversary edition with a few cosmetic changes and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). It was available for a year before the launch of the all-new Honda City in 2008. Honda sold 1,77,742 units of the second-generation Honda City in India.

In 2008, five years after the launch of the second-generation Honda City, the all-new third-generation City was launched. It again completely changed the way the City looked and got updated with intimidating looks. Honda City shed the bulgy design and the third-generation City came with sportier looks, especially because of the multiple slat grille in the front. It also offered larger headlamps and deep creases on the body that made it look very premium. The rear also received larger lamps that made it look exclusive on the roads.



The all-new 1.5-litre i-VTEC engine available with the car came as the biggest highlight. It became more powerful to produce a maximum of 117 Bhp and continued to be offered with an optional automatic. 



Honda introduced sunroof with this model for the first time with third-generation City. Honda also made the airbags and ABS standard across all the variants of Honda City with the new model.

The third-generation City went through a difficult time. The market suddenly saw a rise in demand for diesel vehicles and Honda did not offer that. However, even without a diesel engine in its armor, the City was still very popular in the market.



In 2011, Honda launched the midlife update with small design changes. In 2012, Honda also launched the CNG version of the car due to the rising price of petrol. Honda managed to sell 192,939 units of the fourth-generation City in the Indian market.



2014 Honda City - Fourth Generation



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.carblogindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/2014-Honda-City-Featured-Image-1200x600.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



The fourth-generation of the Honda City is the current version of the car that is for sale in the market right now but only for a few weeks more. It came with a long list of updates but most importantly, the fourth-generation Honda City marked the entry of diesel engine option for the first time ever.



The all-new Honda City was introduced in the Indian market before any other market in the world showing how important the vehicle became for the Indian market. It became much more spacious and came with a longer list of features too. The rear seat remains the best in business and the City continues to be a hit in the corporate world. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/city-gallery-slider3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5094"/></figure>



The 1.5-litre petrol engine of the Honda City comes with a CVT automatic transmission. The transmission offers higher fuel efficiency than the manual versions, which is also a reason for its popularity. Honda also added the ISOFIX child seat hooks to the model making it adhere to the international safety standards and in came full-LED headlamps. In 2017, Honda launched an updated version of the City with minor updates and cosmetic changes. Honda has sold close to 4 lakh units of the vehicle.



2020 Honda City - Fifth generation



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.cartoq.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/2020-honda-city-featured.jpg" alt=""/></figure>



The all-new Honda City will be launched in the Indian market later this year. It will offer more space and will come with a longer list of features too. The all-new Honda City looks sharper than ever and it is also expected to get the mild-hybrid technology. The price of the new Honda City is not expected to go up by a lot and it will bring back the vehicle to take on the likes of Hyundai Verna.



Did you know? 1) The City used to come with a factory-fitted CNG kit? This model was launched in 2012 2) India was the first market that got the all-new fourth-generation model, even before other South East Asian markets 3) The Vtec model of the first generation City (that's 20 years ago!) pushed out over 105 bhp of power - that is much as some of the current C segement sedans. 4) The 3rd generation facelift had a new entry level version priced at just Rs 6.99 lakh! 5) The current Honda City has the best (space and comfort) rear seats in the business.

Top Affordable Cars With Sunroof Under Rs 12 lakh

India is a vast market for automobiles and carmakers keep on experimenting by bringing in new technologies under the hood - be it electric vehicles or promoting turbo petrol engines. What remains constant is 'kitna deti hain' quotient as the manufacturers also have to take care of this thing. But at the same time, we have seen an increasing number of affordable 'powerful' offerings. So in this article, we will be telling you top six powerful cars you can get under Rs 10 lakh.

But before we hook you up on the list, we should tell you that these are ex-showroom prices and they differ from the on-road prices! Also, the list is sorted in terms of power output. 



Ford Ecosport (Petrol) Rs 8.04 lakh onwards || 121 Bhp Brought in 2013, Ford Ecosport was the top seller in the market and ruled the compact SUV segment. It made its debut with the 1.5L petrol, 1.5L diesel and a 1.0L turbo petrol engine. The latter is now discontinued. Ford Ecosport is majorly sold in its diesel form but that does not take away the petrol charm.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/ford-ecosport-gallery-overlay-1-2.jpg" alt="ford ecosport bs6 top five powerful cars 10 lakh Image" class="wp-image-2117"/></figure>



The 1.5L petrol engine churns out 121 bhp on tap which is highest in its segment. The maximum torque sticks to 149 Nm. Transmission is taken care of by a 5-speed manual gearbox and a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. Ford Ecosport gets a sticker price of Rs 8.04 lakh 11.03 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi.



Mahindra Marazzo (Diesel) Rs 9.9 lakh onwards || 120 Bhp



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/67284655.cms_.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-5039"/></figure>



Mahindra will launch the updated BS6 Marazzo soon and this model will continue to get the same 1.5 diesel unit along with a petrol engine. While the specs of the petrol motor aren't known as of now, it's safe to assume the diesel will put out about 120 bhp of power. The Marazzo, at the price it sells for, continues to be a great family MPV. Both 6 and 7 seater configurations will be on avail and an automatic too might make it to the list. It's a pity sales are pretty low. 



Tata Nexon (Petrol) Rs 6.95 lakh onwards || 118 Bhp If there is anyone in the Indian market that has set their image as 'Manufacturing Safest Cars in India', they are Tata Motors. The Nexon has scored 5 stars in the Global NCAP. This car comes in two engine options - 1.2L petrol and 1.5L diesel. The former generates 118 bhp on tap with 170 Nm of torque. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Tata-Nexon-1.jpg" alt="Tata Nexon top five powerful cars under Rs 10 lakh Image" class="wp-image-2424"/></figure>



Tata Nexon is also available in electric disguise which delivers more power. However, the prices for the same sticks way above Rs 10 lakh. Tata Nexon with conventional fuel outputs sets you back by Rs 6.95 lakh till Rs 12.70 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi.



Hyundai Venue (Petrol) Rs 8.46 lakh onwards || 118 Bhp The South Korean carmaker was pretty late to the sub-compact SUV party but it surely came with a bang. Hyundai launched the Venue at Rs 6.5 lakh and it instantly garnered a lot of attention among potential buyers. Also, with the multiple engine options, Hyundai mostly targeted the 1.0L turbo petrol engine.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Hyundai-Venue-Exterior-154436.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-4440"/></figure>



The 998 cc turbo engine makes 118 bhp on tap with 142 Nm of peak torque. The add on is the optional 7-speed DCT gearbox and 6-speed manual transmission as standard. Other engine options include a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol and a 1.5L turbo-diesel unit. It starts at Rs 6.7 lakh and goes up to Rs 11.40 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi.



Honda City (Petrol) Rs 9.9 lakh onwards || 118 Bhp Honda City is one of the better-looking sedans in its segment and is due for an update this April-May. And it is the 1.5-litre i-VTEC petrol engine that slipped the City into this competition. This unit generates a whopping 119 PS of power with 145 Nm of torque. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Honda-City_1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1029"/></figure>

Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta and Verna Petrol &amp; Diesel Both The reason why we have clubbed two SUVs of different manufacturers and one sedan is that they all use the same set of engines. The 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol puts out 115 PS of power and is offered in all three models mentioned here. Further, the 1.5 L diesel with the same power is also offered in the Creta under Rs 10 lakh!

All the cars get a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard. The engines are borrowed from the Kia Seltos which made its debut in 2019. Both Creta and Seltos share the same platform. And it is the former which comes with more features.



Mahindra XUV300 We have already covered six powerful cars under Rs 10 lakh in our article but didn't want to miss the Mahindra XUV300. We say it because it is the only compact SUV which comes with a powerful diesel engine under Rs 10 lakh. This SUV is based on the Ssangyong Rivoli which is sold internationally. Mahindra offers two engine options - 1.2L petrol and a 1.5L diesel engine and it is the latter which generates 115 bhp on tap.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://s3-ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/91w/news/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Mahindra-XUV300-BS6-Diesel-Prices-1.jpg" alt="Mahindra XUV300 BS6 Dirsel Prices Image" class="wp-image-4557"/></figure>



In other news, Mahindra is also bringing in a much powerful turbo petrol unit for the XUV300. This engine will produce 130 bhp on tap and will take on the likes of Hyundai Venue. It is expected to come in the second half of April.

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.

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!

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 
(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.

One of the oldest car manufacturers in India has a loyal following even today. Inspite of its offerings being priced at a premium, customers don&rsquo;t shy away from owning a Honda in the Indian market. Their sub-brands like the City are still selling in great numbers, keeping the company among the top 6-7 manufacturers in terms of sales. The model line-up offer a premium appeal, ease of driving, high levels of comfort and a strong brand recall. As of March 2020, the company sells 7 models in 
India, ranging from the Amaze to the CR-V. Yes, there is no hatchback offering from Honda and going forward, they will concentrate on the mid and high segments only. In the recent past, the company has also made huge efforts to bring scheduled maintenance costs, on par with rivals in the segment. Also, unlike Maruti, Honda is going ahead with BS6 compliant diesel engines for its products.

Present in the Indian car market since 1997, Toyota has earned trust of consumers when it comes to providing reliable vehicles. Even the first generation Qualis MPV continuous to do duties in smaller town without a hiccup. Ditto for the Innova that is well known as a reliable workhorse. Unfortunately, the company&rsquo;s smaller offerings like the Etios and the Liva have not tasted success. To overcome this, the company has tied up with Maruti Suzuki and the result of which has been seen in the form of the Glanza hatchback. More such products will be launched in 2020 and 2021. The company is also very strong in the full sized 7 seater SUV space with the Fortuner and in the super exclusive luxury MPV space with the Vellfire. Toyota has brought in its luxury brand, Lexus to India. There are as many as 6 different offerings under this flagship brand for the domestic car market.

Another homegrown manufacturer that is holding onto its fort tightly is Mahindra. They only have SUVs / MPVs in their line-up and their oldest brand, the Bolero still remains a best seller in most markets around India. For passenger vehicles, the likes of the Scorpio, XUV500 and XUV300 still make up for a good chunk. Mahindra&rsquo;s offerings have moved ahead with times when it comes to features, reliability and road presence. Though they do promote adventure, most of their offerings do not offer 4x4 or AWD anymore. However, the all-new Thar is one awaited compact SUV that will suit adventure junkies and urban youth alike. Likewise, other SUVs in the portfolio are also due for a complete makeover in 2020 and in 2021. The company is also working hard towards EV options with the eKUV100 being the latest addition.

Once known purely for commercial vehicles, Tata Motors has come a long way when it comes to offering passengers cars in India. Right from the good old Indica to the current Altroz, the company has made bounds and leaps when it comes to engineering feats, quality of vehicles and overall package delivery. The 2020 Auto Expo further gave us a hint of things to expect from the home grown car maker. Each of their products today are up there with the best in the segment and with safety being their top priority, Tata is winning hearts each passing day. Focus is on 
larger bodied (read: SUVs) vehicle is this is indeed what thousands are looking forward too. If you have ever wanted to buy a Tata vehicle, the time is right - no more niggles and issues in their modern day offerings.

India&rsquo;s second Korean automaker is Kia. Not many know that both Hyundai and Kia are part of the same mother company but in the domestic market, Kia is being positioned as a premium brand. This is apparent in the way their showrooms and workshops are coming up. Even the first two models, the Seltos and the Carnival echo the same outlook. Kia as a brand is well known for its style statement and 
feature-loaded options. Infact, both the current offerings are doing extremely well in the Indian car market and have helped Kia come up in the list of India&rsquo;s top 5 car manufacturers in terms of monthly sales. With its factory loaded in Andhra Pradesh, the company is now gearing up for the launch of the Sonet compact SUV. If you are looking at stylish offerings that are feature loaded, head to a Kia showroom now!

Jeep is an Iconic sports utility vehicle (SUV) maker. The Jeeps are very popular in India and they have been built in the country since the 1960&rsquo;s by Mahindra. However, this American car manufacturer directly entered the Indian market in the year 2016. Jeep marked its debut in India with the premium go-anywhere and luxury 4x4 SUVs like the Jeep Wrangler and the Grand Cherokee. Within a year of its debut, Jeep launched its Made in India SUV called the Jeep Compass and it created a very strong image for the brand in the Indian market. Currently, Jeep sells four models in India: Jeep Compass, Compass Trailhawk, Wrangler, and the Grand Cherokee. This US carmaker also plans to soon launch multiple new products in India including a seven-seater version of the Compass SUV.

Volkswagen sells a slew of cars in India ranging from entry-level Polo hatchback to the Tiguan SUV and all its cars are built to last long, they are safe, well equipped, and offer good price to performance value. Volkswagen is also starting kick-starting its India 2.0 project and the German carmaker will soon introduce heavily localized products at affordable price in the country to serve a wide range of audience.

Not many know that Ford has been present in the Indian car market since 1995! They had initially tied up with Mahindra and the company was termed as &lsquo;Mahindra Ford India Limited&rsquo; - cars like Escort and the Ikon were launched under this JV. However, with time, Ford parted ways and went onto get cars like the Figo, Aspire, Endeavour and the very successful EcoSport. Reports now suggest that the Ford-Mahindra JV is once again in place and we could expect future products to use engineering expertise from both the companies. Ford continues to make cars that are high in quality and safety levels and come with assured after-sales peace of mind. The &ldquo;kuch family jaisi feeling&rdquo; campaign has been pushed well for the past few years and seems to be working well with new consumers.

Renault has launched products that have redefined the segment. Take for instance the Duster that had a waiting period extending into months. Likewise, the little Kwid gave an entirely new dimension to entry level cars and the latest product to do is the Triber. The French car marker has taken time to understand the Indian market but seems to have mastered the art now finally. The company has also made India an important export hub and follows the &ldquo;make in India, for the world&rdquo; philosophy. In the coming few years, Renault will shy away diesels for India and will instead focus on petrol and hybrids. They might not stick to sedans anymore but the focus on larger vehicles will be in place. Reliability, features and value for money offerings will be order of the day.

BMW is a German luxury carmaker that entered India in the year 2007. BMW is the best luxury car manufacturer in India after Mercedes-Benz in terms of sales.
