Hybrids! Does these powertrains still have the power to balance things?

Hello guys! Welcome to Cars Reboot! And today we're gonna discuss the Hybrid powertrains which have the chance of holding over the market.



Hybrid powertrains were there in the automobile markets for quite some time but the recognition they needed didn't seem to be that encouraging in India and nonetheless Indian customers weren't that attracted to them much either as there were only limited cars like Camry, Lexus, Ciaz being a mild hybrid and others didn't seem to be much appealing with their overall offering and in other aspects for customers but the recently launched new Toyota Camry seems to change the opinion about Hybrids as it looks very futuristic with its design, being built on Lexus ES300h platform, its a stunning design for sure. 


But the key point here is that not only in India but even abroad also there seems to have lost a balance in the engines like diesel despite having that power and torque were not much eco-friendly but costs us less while petrol ones being the pure engines delivering us the rush of performance but lacking in fuel efficiency and cost us more than diesel(petrol price). Electrics well! We really need a good amount of patience and proper planning for our trips if we're gonna go outside the city to any far places but the instant electric power is something one can't forget and the hybrid powertrains which we are discussing are seems to be a good balance at least until these fuels get completed because in that way, we can be both eco-friendly as well as we have all the performance we need in our hands itself. 



As the engine runs, the battery gets charged on the go and there's no need for you to stop at any charging station to charge your vehicle and this is really a handy feature but if at all a company needs to get this project of introducing hybrids in all segments, then only we can see the drop in pollution and companies, in my opinion, should come forward to bring this change.


But there's a small problem here and that is the overall cost of the vehicle is gonna be a bit more than a regular diesel or petrol ones which is making things not that much favourable for hybrids. Even though its a concern, once the change occurs, I believe companies will reduce the battery prices as there'll be an extensive application of them in the vehicles but we need to wait what it turns out to be in the future. 

Even though this may or may not happen but a strong alternative other than electric is needed because of the way of living we have got used to and its a combination of both conservative and also comfortable life. (I mentioned this on minding the huge amount of middle-class people in India who dream of having a car that satisfies them and their families, so please don't take this in any other manner)

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 ...
