Did Maruti Suzuki realize that safety is also important?

What is Maruti Suzuki doing until the launch of the new Alto with safety features and also in other models? Did safety measures come to their books only after BS-6 norms? What made them re-visit their vehicles and add more safety features in the current vehicles and also to announce that they will provide their upcoming vehicles with more safety features?




As the BS-6 norms kick in, every car manufacturer in India is changing the standard features that are offered in the small cars they have and what they are doing is just adding more airbags and EBD, ESC and other safety centered features. 
My Question to them is very simple, why just now? Why not before and this is the thing that customers should think of!





They have updated the Alto recently and now the Dzire with more airbags and some safety tech. If the thing "safety" becomes a concern for them only after the norms and regulations put by the government, then it means they didn't feel it as an important issue in a country like India. Focusing only on the market isn't the only thing they have but also safety, features. Happy that they have felt safety is must at least by now and hoping they will increase the quality and also safer platforms in upcoming vehicles in the future.

Renault Duster! It had its chance.

Welcome to CarsReboot!  There are many people who love Duster for its proportions, ride quality and also the sense of space it has inside it but now it has lost its charm to some extent with its other rivals and it fell into the category of only petrol with no AWD but it still has its chance to become a bigger player if Renault could do some key changes in it. 1. Engine: The 1.5lit was a very good one but now the company has shut it due to the upcoming BS6 regulations and it now replaces both the 1.5lit Diesel and petrol with a 1.3lit petrol engine which is BS6 compliant and the power figures have changed a bit. If they really needed some strong sales then introducing a 1.5lit BS6 compliant diesel and petrol engines with auto gearboxes in both fuel options would have made it a strong seller for Renault. 2. Interiors: Many might have felt this but I intended to stress about this particular one because the interiors in Duster were not that appealing and the reason is...

Kia Seltos Vs MG Hector VsTata Harrier Vs Hyundai Creta

Now that Kia Seltos is unveiled and the design, features it is going to offer and also the major part i.e, the engine and transmission options are going to wow the customers for sure. How they are gonna price it and the variants line up is gonna create more curiosity than anything. It doesn't look butchy like Harrier and sophisticated like Creta but it is modern, futuristic yet the way it is designed in terms of interiors and exteriors are very fresh to look at and also many of the features were segmented first like the new connectivity features and they named it UVO and those features are more or less the same when you look at Venue  from Hyundai. But we are here to make a comparison on which one will create the benchmark in the segment and also in sales numbers for now by comparing its rivals. 1.Rivals: The Rivals are Tata Harrier, Hyundai Creta, MG Hector. 2.Engines: Here among the bunch MG Hector and Tata Harrier are powered by the same 2.0 lit multi-jet engine from...

Kia seltos! The Technological Marvel!

Kia Seltos! The Name might not be that flashy back then but now its the segment best seller and for an SUV that looks very stylish inside and out needs a bit more explanation on what it has and what it offers as well.  Kia Seltos is the first vehicle that was launched in India and one must obey that the adds they were showing in recent times on stunning Kia designs are very true and if anyone doesn't obey it then they must look at the Kia Seltos.                       1.Design: I thought about engines but the design caught my eye. The Tiger nose grille at the front does look futuristic, stylish and the chrome treatment is in the right manner, the 17-inch alloys look good on this and also the roof rails are bigger and create more stance to the vehicle. The All LED lighting will help Kia in many ways because of the way they are adapting to their futuristic ideas and the vertical DRL's are unique in style and more ...
