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.

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...

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...

Toyota Glanza! What's changed rather than the badge?

Toyota recently started teasing the new elanza and that's a combination of toyota and maruti suzuki.This news may not be new about their collaboration but the car is new and also we can expect different engines,features inside and also the cost,service they offer. As of now we can expect it to be different than the current baleno in many aspects like new interiors,exterior tweaks a little.Engine might be 1.2 lit petrol which is in the baleno with tweaks like the automatic transmission and all will bring it to a whole new level in it's segment as it has a lot of offer but as of now toyota didn't reveal anything except some pics of the car but if they do things like adding sunroof,good infotainment system,safer body the way toyota design and interior designing with new infotainment system,car connectivity and all.If they bring new engine in diesel then it must be brought according to the rules of BS-6 compliance.As of now there are different things happening in ...

Which is better among the Tata Altroz, Hyundai I20 and Maruti Suzuki Baleno and why?

Hyundai I20: Hyundai has been very successful in most of the cars they have released in the Indian market and among them, I20 is one of the best or maybe the sporty-looking hatch which is both premium and also sporty looking car and also till now the 1.4 lit Diesel engine and also the 1.2 lit petrol with manual and CVT gearboxes are very precise in the gear throws and also the biggest USP of Hyundai cars is that they are easy to drive and also the interiors look very good indeed. The Interior plastic quality, infotainment system, steering mounted controls and also the cluster does look good and the MID screen provides info about the car and also the interiors and exteriors do wow customers even now. But if we are gonna consider it buying now, then we must check out the other options as well like the new Altroz but if Hyundai releases BS-6 compliant engines in both petrol and diesel, then the company will surely increase the price of the vehicle and also we can expect some new fe...
