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)

Kia Sonet! Package unpacked.

Hello and Welcome to CarsReboot! Today we're gonna discuss the all-new production-ready Kia Sonet and here's everything you need to know about it.                        Kia Motors India has unveiled the all-new Kia Sonet on 7 Aug 2020 and here are the details about it. Let us start with each and every aspect of it in detail.                           1. Design: Kia has already showcased the Sonet i.e, the sub-4 metre SUV in the auto expo and they've done a fantastic job by bringing most of the prototype design elements into the real world design.                            Starting with the front, this one looks angrier with that red accents on the grille and the elephant tusk-like DRL's look wild as they've mentioned as its caption. The LEDs look nice and below, there are some sporty elements ...

Hyundai Aura! The Sporty compact sedan is out now.

Hyundai India has launched the all-new sporty looking compact sedan 'Aura' which replaces the Xcent in Hyundai's India line-up and also the details of the car are below. Engines: This Time they have launched the car with bs-6 compliant engines both in petrol and also diesel and now they have the power and torque figures more or less the same as it's engines are even more refined now. So, the engines offered are 1.2lit petrol and 1.2lit diesel. There will be 2 Petrol and 1 Diesel among which the petrol is 1.2 that churns out 83Ps and a 1.0lit engine that churns out 99P of power and the diesel produces 89Ps of power. The Gearbox options are as follows: 1.2Petrol gets a manual/amt while the 1.0 lit gets only a manual one and the diesel gets both manual/amt. So, options are decent to look as well considering the price range it will be in but a CVT would be great like we have seen in the Amaze. Design: Coming to the Design, recently they have released the sket...

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...
