Maruti's 660cc Car - Tata Nano rival

Hello readers. These are the images that are going around the web for past few weeks about Maruti's sub 800cc vehicle which might be announced next year in india. Most recent and bugdet car release in India is nothing but Hyundai Eon. Due to higher price of petrol and increased interest, the sales of the cars in India has down. Even Maruti's sales are down last month. This car might boost Maruti's sales if it is priced aggressively. 

Maruti's 660cc car just looks like modified A-star in the front and Wagon-R in the back. Most of the sites  say that it can deliver a amazing mileage of more than 30 kmpl. The tyres are 145/13 in size. It might be exhibited in AutoExpo 2012. We will keep you posted.

From the below image, the car looks spacious compared to alto.

    

There is no official news regarding this vehicle. So we have to wait until we get an official announcement from Maruti Suzuki. It might be exhibited in AutoExpo 2012. We will keep you posted.

Hope the Points mentioned above are clear to all. However I would like to give some clarity on some of the points mentioned above.

· Engine Capacity – Higher the engine capacity of cylinder higher the output power

· Compression ration and Power to weight ratio – more or less similar. Both specify the pulling power of the cars.

· Tyres: Nano has smaller tyres in the front which assures good turning radius and swifter driving in city traffic conditions. Also the broader the rear tyres ensure stability at high speeds. M800 has same set of tyres in front and back which would cause over steering very easily.

Conclusion: The points portrayed speak only about the points in which Nano beats M800; it doesn’t means that Nano is better than M800 in all means. In short, both are best in their own way.

Cheers

Tata Nano - Not like the rest, to be honest best too...

Tata Nano - world's familiar car name for being the cheapest car in the world. The Euro ncap rating of 4 has added up overwhelming expectations too...

( it is to be noted that i10, swift also have rating of 4 and alto has just 3 in a scale of 5 for Euro ncap)

The Tata Nano carries a engine which is as small as that of a share auto in cities. it is just .2 litres smaller than Alto. so its right to compare it with the Alto.

Alto is a small car however Nano is a well built share auto says many. but its not so. Tata is very careful in building the car too but due to the cost efficiency limitation they cant build a better car rather than this.

it is also to be noted that alto has better length then nano however the width and height makes us to feel alto a cramped one.

also it is not worthy to compare alto with nano. so lets compare it with the premium commuter motorcycles say honda cbr250r, huh! that means stupid but should think of cbr250r with 5 seats and having a roof. cool hun! ( just for fun)

the real comparitive vehicle for nano is a 3 wheeler auto rickshaw which costs more than 1.5lacs same to nano. so what? nano gives you better deal for loans too!

The 35bhp and 48nm torque makes the car the best companion for beginners in indian city traffic, alto has 46bhp and 62nm torque.

My suggestion is Tata Nano is not the one which has to be neglected instead a masterpiece of technology at its best. Rather than criticising it stand in the neutral part and evaluate the car you will understand.

Hats off!!! TATA...

Maruti Suzuki Ritz - Indian Splash: Review

The Hot news in the Automobile market was the launch of Maruti's new variety of Hatch Back model - "RITZ".


The car design is itself more appealing and will be feast for eyes. Unlike the Hatch back cars which has a C-curve at the back, Ritz is modeled with a flat Hatch back not exactly like Wagon-R or like A-Star, more unique than the both.

The Car is large enough or more comfortable for a normal family.

Spacious interiors, Large Body, Luxurious suspensions are some of the Highlights of the Ritz.

Actually Ritz was the Indian version of Suzuki Splash, but due to some unavoidable reasons company has chosen the name "RITZ".

Specifications:

1. Engine Displacement: 1248cc
2. Output Power: 78bhp@4200rpm
3. Engine Torque: 165nm@1500rpm
4. Top Speed: 155 kmph
5. Gear: 5 speed
6. Fuel Tank: 45ltrs
7. A/C
8. Power windows
   

Pros:

1. Superior sports design
2. World class Engine with utmost performance
3. More spacious interiors
4. Lowered Air Spoilers

Cons:

1. Slightly over priced comparatively
2. Limited performance when compared to Splash
3. Poor in mileage

The Car will be featuring with not only spacious but more functional interiors (in terms of multimedia features) than its predecessors, so which will be more liked by the current generation.

The most comfortable news in that Maruti Suzuki Ritz will come in Petrol as well as Diesel Variants.
