Sales drop! Some reasons behind this huge loss for Auto-Industries.

Recently there was this huge issue on sales and many people have their own expectations and thoughts and to clarify that this one will help. but only some of the major reasons are which I am gonna list here and if anyone has any better and compelling reasons about the cause please comment them down. 1. BS-6 : I obey that the BS-6 vehicles are helpful for nation's environment and people and its actually a good step that due to Delhi's pollution govt has taken a huge step in announcing that there should be only BS-6 powered engines and not the BS-4 ones in future and they should make it asap. But the companies are struggling in meeting these standards and also govt has ordered them i.e, they should meet the standards for the safety requirements like 2 airbags, ABS and all. They should have remained on their word because now Nitin Gadkari recently stated that there will be no ban on vehicles in future and previously they thought of banning the diesel vehicles after 10 yea...

Revisiting the Mahindra's Massive SUV the Alturas G4!

Mahindra has taken a solid step-up by launching the new-gen Rexton as Alturas and also they now entered a new segment of large Suv spaces but are they successful in achieving the customer's satisfaction without any downsides from the vehicle?  Let us look into it with what changes should Mahindra do to increase the sales of it. 1. Engine: The 2.2 lit engine has enough power to compete as the rivals are at relatively the same 170-190 bhp despite having bigger 2.8-3.2 lit engines but Mahindra has overcome that problem by tuning it to its highest possibility. It would be even better if they could incorporate a new engine around 2.4-2.8 lit ones and not because of the rivals but for the weight it has and refinement is good but at cities, slow-moving areas and all the clatter will feel noisy and disturbing so in that area they should take care of it. The gearbox also needs a re-design as the small button like operating for the manual gear shifts is really really irrelevant a...

Renault Duster! What changes could make Duster a better purchase?

Renault has launched the Duster recently and many customers would have expected something unique this time because this is the third generation facelift and they have made some design changes inside and out but they have remained to showcase that they have launched a facelift and the car looks good and it is a change of design in some aspects at the front and preferably rear because with that thick black piece running in between the rear stop lamps it does look sporty. Ok! Let us discuss  the changes that could bring more customers towards Duster are: Engines: Engines are punchy regarding the price range it is in and it has no complaints except some major things like NVH levels, an automatic gearbox and not AMT which one might feel they are offering because AMT is different from the auto gearbox. They have the chance to increase the price because they are offering more and can make customers understand that. One more thing is the features that are offered in AMT are not ...

Hyundai Kona EV! India's first electric SUV.

Hyundai has released its electric SUV named Kona and this one has started the trend of electrics because in the previous times there were other electric cars like Mahindra EVO and also now there is the Tigor from Tata but they weren't actually touched the range or made it more attractive to buy or at least appealed like a good EV. But with Kona, all these expectations are going to be fulfilled to most part and also satisfy the need for an EV to some extent.  Battery: There will be no engines and the 39.4 kWh battery produces 131 Ps of power and a whopping 395 Nm of torque.

What can we expect the combo of Mahindra and Ford?

The Combination of Ford and Mahindra is creating a lot of buzz on what type of segment on which they are going to concentrate and the news is that they are focussing on creating a new mid-size SUV that can rival the other SUV's in the market like Tata Harrier, Hyundai Creta, MG Hector, and also the upcoming Kia Seltos. If at all they like to rule this segment then they must do some groundbreaking designs and also the interiors, exteriors and the other connectivity features that satisfy the new age customers. As far as the resources say that Mahindra is creating a new 2.0 lit diesel engine that can produce higher power and torque figures which can compete with the rivals. What we can expect is that the combination of these two companies will surely make a big difference when it comes to the release of a mid-size SUV and I forgot to add that this SUV  will also rival the XUV500 also. The engine is the primary requirement for Ford as they must create a new 2.0 lit or 1.8...
