(6, 3, 'Article', 0, 'Types of transmissions', 'Types of transmissions', '<p>\r\n\r\n</p><p><i></i>What looks like a relatively simple task of getting inside your car, put the ignition ON and drive is actually a very comprehensive process driven by a lot of factors. One such important mechanism that plays the most pivotal role in the movement of a car is your car’s transmission. Now, transmission can be broadly classified as a machine that majorly converts speed and torque generated from the engine of your car and routes it to the drive wheels through the use of gears and gear trains. In short, transmission is responsible for the way your car runs at different speeds. Often termed as gearbox only, transmissions are further divided into three major types which are further adapted in different fashions depending on the technology used.</p><ol><li><p>Manual Transmission</p></li><li><p>Automatic Transmission</p></li><li><p>Semi-automatic Transmission &nbsp; &nbsp;</p></li></ol><br><p><b>Manual Transmission:</b><br></p><p>As the name suggests, the complete mechanism in this type of transmission is done through manual inputs. This is one of the most common and widely used system seen on a majority of cars running on Indian roads. Manual transmission makes use of a constant-mesh technology where gear sets are basically brought together in a ‘meshed’ fashion. The most common type of transmission can be seen in our day-today cars such as Maruti Suzuki Swift, Hyundai i20, Volkswagen Polo and many more which mainly makes use of 5 speed (5 forward gears + 1 reverse). As per the latest trends, almost every manufacturer now gives the option of choosing a variant with either a manual or an automatic transmission. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p><b>Automatic Transmission:</b></p><p><b>Torque Converter</b></p><p>This type of transmission is gaining wide popularity especially in our country with every passing day. Operating just like its name, automatic transmission makes use of NO manual input for selecting gears and selects an appropriate gear ratio on its own, however one has the option of up-shifting and downshifting gears. The earlier mechanism of automatic gears was quite complicated and expensive as it required a lot of inputs. However, with the advancement in technology automatic transmission nowadays has become quite economical and it also breaks a common myth which has been carried forward for a long time now i.e. Decrease in mileage. Yes, the new age automatic gears, if used appropriately to increase mileage up to an extent. The functioning mechanism includes the use of hydraulics which is dependent on the pressure exerted by the transmission assembly. Modern day technology makes use of a torque converter, which helps in improving fuel efficiency, in between to compensate for power rather than using a clutch directly to engage with the transmission. &nbsp;</p><p><b>Continuously Variable Transmission</b></p><p>Continuous Variable Transmission or commonly named as CVT is a complex type of automatic transmission which is mainly driven by an indefinite count of gear ratios that the transmission uses instead of a fixed geometry which is seen in other transmissions. This type of transmission is very apt for immediate throttle response once you step on to the gas pedal or apply brakes and start again. All of this is made possible with the use of a belt driven mechanism which is done with the help of pulleys installed, normally arranged in a V pattern. It is one of the most advanced transmissions which is used in a lot of cars these days. If put to use under ideal conditions and good driving, CVTs can also match-up or even outperform efficiency when pitted against Manual Transmission. The only downfall of the transmission can be its rubber-band effect under which when the throttle is pressed hard, on a momentary basis the engine revs go up first and then the car accelerates, generating a certain lag in between. Most common examples of CVT on Indian cars can be Honda City, Suzuki Baleno, Toyota Corolla Altis etc. &nbsp;</p><p><b>Dual clutch transmission</b></p><p>As the name suggests, a DCT or Dual Clutch Transmission is a different type of automatic transmission which doesn’t go by the orthodox single clutch used in transmissions, instead it makes use of two. Making use of two clutches, each clutch for odd and even gears, makes gear shifting very swift and responsive mainly because a dedicated clutch works for a single (odd or even) gear type so the next gear change can be selected in advance. With the option to go for a fully automatic mode or even manual gear shifting, DCT is more seen on sports cars and cars that are performance driven. DCT doesn’t use a torque converter like conventional automatic transmissions, which instead makes use of either two wet multi-plate clutch or two dry single plate clutch mechanism. Each manufacturer alters the process of DCT and further names its own technology in a unique fashion. However, cars running on Indian roads that support a DCT are Volkswagen Polo (named Direct Shift Gearbox), Mercedes Benz SLS AMG (named Speedshift), Audi Q3 (named S tronic).</p><p><b>Semi-automatic Transmission:</b></p>Semi-automatic Transmission (SAT) or often termed as Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) is gaining a lot of popularity these days. Automakers are relying on this technology that offers the best of both worlds to the driver. AMT/SAT is basically a transmission which makes use of electronic sensors and actuators to manage clutch operation and perform gear shifts on the input of either the driver or the computer. The advantage of using an AMT is increased or at par efficiency with the Manual Transmission along with the ease of driving without pressing on to the clutch pedal for gearshifts. Its popularity speaks for itself as mass market car manufacturers have adopted the AMT in many of its cars. Especially in cities where traffic density is quite high, AMT serves as the perfect way to commute. Cars such as Maruti Suzuki Wagon R, Maruti Suzuki Celerio, Tata Nano and many more makes use of AMT technology. The latest to join the lot is the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Diesel AMT. &nbsp;\r\n<i></i><p></p><p>\r\n<br></p>', '11.jpg', '2016-06-10', 1),

Maybe due to some major upcoming brands of Indian market, despite new products up their sleeves opt to stay out.) In the market scenario where companies jump-in to grab minutest of the opportunity to take their share, it’s quite surprising when few major brands like DC, Maserati, Mini, Skoda and Volvo missed out to be there to flaunt their recent and upcoming significant launches.</p><p> </p><p>Though mighty brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, RR, Porsche and others also missed, their absence didn’t impair anything. But for DC, Maserati, Mini, Skoda and Volvo; it was great gone opportunity to showcase their ability and gain popularity for their brands. It’s never a smart option of stay out of the program where thousands of enthusiasts or causal person and potential buyers visit for sole purpose of automobiles and their future direction. There is no better way to reach mass then through this platform.</p><p><b>Skoda</b></p><p>Skoda is going to launch its flagship product Superb on 23rd Feb with officially ceremony. It’s all new design and features are much awaited! Truly it was a major miss at Auto expo 2016. It could have easily been one of the major attractions at expo and gained mass popularity which is always a good thing for the company. It has already created lot of buzz in the market as its current generation is also well praised. With new Octavia launched recently, it would have also been benefited by its display at auto expo showing company’s promising line up and potential to take giants. But company has opted very unconventional marketing methodology for 2016 by staying out of Asia’s biggest auto expo which was perfectly timed keeping its major launch in coming week. It would have been able to get all the attention it ever wanted for the launch; that too when things were moving with the wave. </p><p><b>DC</b></p><p>For a company rising and growing, making their presence felt time to time and showing their potential is very significant. Last year DC launched their first mass production variant and India’s own Super Car as Avanti. Since then, it has created many tidal waves in the industry. Yet is has not been able to succeed in a manner DC would have hopped and in times like this, missing auto expo to grab mass crowd attention and gain more popularity by making their presence felt was needed. It’s Make in India tag would also have gone with the trending thing helping company’s cause.</p><p><b>Maserati</b></p><p>Indian automobiles market is going through upgrading phase where people have the potential as well as will to spend on premium brands like Audi, BMW, Merc-Benz and others. There has been a significant rise in number of premium cars sold and it is only expected to increase in coming years. Fiat’s luxury brand, Maserati re-entered Indian market with its premium product range last year. This company’s timing is very strategic and well thought. Quattroporte and Ghibli are promising models; nevertheless new generation to come along with the company have stated that they are working on SUV which would be launched in India along the global sides in 2016. In circumstances like this where company has future visualized and has the potential to tap in the market share as it would like, marketing and showcasing at right platform was missed by them by skipping 2016 Auto expo. Many people are unaware about the brand and its product. It was another major miss at this year’s auto expo.</p><p><b>Volvo</b></p><p>Volvo is going through big transitional change among its line up by complete overhauls of products and upgrading their designs making new Volvo’s not only safe but a style statement in its own. &nbsp;With much hype maker S90 coming in India probably in 2016 end. This product is going to be game changer for the Volvo’s brand image. Their growth in India is steadily increasing with XC series, V40 and S series as their new design is much better and not only they had sorted engineering in vehicles but also pioneered at safety. Volvo had great platform to strengthen their position in India and showcase abilities against rest of the premium brands. Surely this Sweden based maker was being missed at auto expo but again it was more of missed opportunity for them.</p><p><b>MINI</b></p><p>Premium hatch market in India has lots of potential yet to be uncovered to the fullest and MINI is just one of few at making best premium hatches. It was announced that it’s already exciting lineup of models will be extended and updated by introduction of new MINI Clubman and MINI S convertible updated version in India in 2016 by the president of BMW India at Auto expo. The time phase where company is extending their market and new products to be launched soon their presence Auto expo would have been a lot better as a brand as BMW did attract a lot of crowd with i8, 7 Series and X1, if only they would have displayed MINI then it would have been great for MINI to promote themselves to make their hold stronger and wider in India as auto expo is perfect setup for new products to be displayed and launched.</p><p><b>Many other obvious</b></p>Some other big names that missed expo and it was very obvious and unsurprising were Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Rolls Royce, Aston martin and Bentley.

(14, 3, 'Article', 0, 'Compact Sedans vs Premium Hatchbacks', 'Compact Sedans vs Premium Hatchbacks', '<p>\r\n\r\n<b></b></p><p></p><p>The Indian auto industry has evolved quite dramatically in the last decade or so with the introduction of new segment of cars that have enticed Indian buyers and continuous to do so. The sheer volumes speak for themselves that these ‘new segment cars’ have created which now captures the attention of almost every car manufacturer functioning in the country. What comes out from this trend is a very simple yet important aspect of the Indian buyer mindset. What really gets the majority of Indian buyers going is space and the BIG tag that a car endorses. For evidence, look at the success of the sub 4 meter category sedans running on Indian streets. By adding only a boot to a hatchback irrespective of altering driving dynamics and stability, car manufacturers racked in handsome amount of money and the average Indian buyers got the biggest grin of owning a ‘sedan’ at the cost of a hatchback. &nbsp;</p><p>However, as cliche as it may sound this seem to be the news of the past. Although, car manufacturers still continue to get a bigger share of this sub 4 meter pie, by introducing new variants now and then to attract pseudo sedan lovers in the country. The latest example can be Ford which just introduced its new range of Figo hatch and what followed was inevitable with the introduction of Ford Figo Aspire, their challenger to the ever popular Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire, Honda Amaze and the Hyundai X-Cent. Not only this, even the German’s are at it now! Volkswagen, which is very much known for its no-nonsense sturdy and elegant cars, has introduced a new sub 4 meter sedan especially developed for India, named Ameo. &nbsp;</p><p>The compact sedan market in the country has grown manifolds but what seems to be climbing up the chart in parallel to this is the introduction of refined and upgraded hatchbacks which are offered more or less at the same price point. What we want to highlight here is the entry of premium/hot hatchbacks such as the Elite i20, Volkswagen Polo, Fiat Punto Abarth, Suzuki Baleno and so on when pitted against the compact sedan range in the country can offer better value for money and a better sense of upmarket luxury to the buyers. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>The modern day hatchbacks are no longer the thing of the past which used to relate only to being affordable. Thanks to the global evolution, Indian buyers are now getting some of the world class products in terms of hot hatchbacks which come fitted with features that are nowhere seen in compact as well as upper level sedans. Let’s compare the two segments below with multiple factors that might help you choose between a compact sedan OR a premium/hot hatchback.</p><p><b>Design & Looks:</b></p><p>Although, looks and appearance can be very subjective but one can easily compare between a sub-4 metre sedan which ends with a tail that appears to be brutally cut-off just to adhere to its dimensions and further tax exemptions. Result is that the design has to be compromised. Common examples can be the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire, Ford Figo Aspire and Honda Amaze. Whereas in a hot hatch or a premium hatch; the design flows naturally without any restriction of dimensions. One can clearly compare between these hatchbacks and there extended boot sedan avatars to judge for yourself. Swift and Swift Dzire, Brio and Amaze, Figo and Figo Aspire, the hatchbacks clearly win on the design department, at least for us! &nbsp; </p><p><b>Performance:</b> </p><p>Performance has a lot to do with the engine appointed and the overall weight of the car which the engine drags along. The math is simple, no manufacturer adds a special or a more powerful engine to their compact sedan avatars of hatchbacks thus these sedans do carry extra baggage in terms of the extended boot. This further result in increasing the drag coefficient and also affects high speed stability when cornering due to the extended tail. Coming on to the hot and premium hatchbacks, with performance cars available such as Volkswagen Polo GT with DSG gearbox, Fiat Punto Abarth with its massive 145 hp peak power, one can really enjoy a track like performance and stability on the roads with a premium hatchback. </p><p><b>Features:</b> </p><p>When it comes to features, rare it is that the sedan variant of a hatchback gets anything extra on the inside, except for the added boot obviously. Thus feature wise, the sedan turned hatchbacks offers the same set of tech gadgetry when compared to their hatch counterparts. Now, when it comes to hot hatches, one can infact get more features when compared to compact sedans. Like in the case of Hyundai Elite i20 or even Volkswagen Polo GT, the range of features such as state-of-the-art MID (Multi Information Display Unit) or even the central touch navigation unit (offered on Elite i20) offers so much to its buyers that the compact sedans can’t even think of! </p><p><b>Bootspace & Wheelbase:</b></p><p>Let’s compare the feature on which the compact sedans really boast about i.e. boot space. We take on one of the most bought compact sedan to a similar priced premium hatchback. The models pitted against each other are Maruti Swift DZire ZDi diesel variant and Hyundai Elite i20 Sportz Diesel variant. Both the cars are similarly priced (Ex. Showroom Delhi). Now, when you compare the boot space of the Dzire which stands at 315 liters, on the other hand what you get in the Elite i20 is a 285 liters of boot. The difference is only of 30 liters. Ask yourself, how much the boot space can be really hampered if it’s only 30 liters less than a compact ‘SEDAN.’ Not much to be honest! On the other hand, when you compare the wheelbase of both the cars you will be surprised to know that Elite i20 offers 2570 mm of wheelbase compared to a smaller wheelbase of 2430 mm offered by Dzire. In simple terms, wheelbase defines how much space you can get on the inside and this clearly shows which ones a winner here!</p><p><b>Affordability:</b></p>It’s only a myth that a compact sedan can run better or at an affordable price compared to a premium hatchback. Yes, for a hot hatch you might shell out some extra money, but look at the available features, performance and even reliability of the car that you get in return. Modern day engines are tuned quite well to limit additional costs and wear and tear. If you are really looking for an exciting car at the price of a compact sedan, there are so many options available in the market these days, do check and compare the details and we are sure you might prefer the modern day premium hatchbacks over the sluggish and dated compact sedans!<p></p>', '23.jpg', '2016-06-17', 1),

However, the same is not seen on a sedan. Ever wondered why so? &nbsp;</p><p>The reason is aerodynamics. Yes, you read that right, entirely due to Aerodynamics. </p><p>When a car cuts through the air, there is an immediate vacuum created just behind the rear end of the car. And just as it moves ahead, air turbulence is left behind at sides of rear end. With vacuum in between and turbulent air on sides, the rear end of a car becomes an area where dust particles are sort of pulled towards it. In the hatchbacks, MPVs and SUVs, the rear windscreen/tailgate is where the car ends, hence the dust particles which are pulled via vacuum make the windscreen quite dirty which hampers visibility. Hence the need for rear windscreen wash and wipe function.</p><p>But in the case of sedans, the rear end is actually the end of the boot, which actually guides the air over the rear windscreen. The vacuum in this case is created just behind the boot which attracts lot of dust and dirt particles but the rear windscreen does not get as dirty. This explains lack of rear windscreen wipe and wash. Furthermore, it’s not feasible to integrate rear wiper on a sedan as there’s no direct linkage between the boot and the rear windscreen. &nbsp;</p>However, it must be noted that rear wash and wipe function is equipped on cars such as Skoda Octavia and Superb which have the rear windscreen opened along with boot. For some strange reasons, this does not make its appearance on the Indian variants, but on European ones, this is provided as a safety feature.

The new 911 range will be imported through the Completely Built Unit (CBU) so will be again very heavy on pockets taking big chunk of money but must be said that its money well spent.</p><p>Additionally, to expand its existence in the country, Porsche India plans to open two more showrooms at Chennai and Hyderabad in the coming months to add to its existing six outlets in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad, Kolkata and Kochi.</p><p>Globally it was unveiled in December 2016, the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S facelifts made their first public debut at the Detroit Motor Show earlier in the year. Highly noteworthy are the new four point LED daytime running lights on the new 911 with projector headlamps, while the bumper now houses a larger central air intake with dark chrome accents. The 911 Turbo and Turbo S Cabriolet versions also get new tweaks in form of double fillets and side-mounted air blades. The rear too has new sharper looking LED tail-lamps and a slightly changed bumper to go with the tweaks made in frontal.</p><p>The interiors have been upgraded nicely too! Still carries a whole of buttons, which continues to keep the feeling real of the performance car. The new 911 also gets the Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with a 7\" infotainment display which offers improved in-car connectivity and also allows one to connect his smartphone to the car, while you also get Apple CarPlay that allows your iPhone to be connected as well.</p><p>The new 911 comes with improved technological features that have improved already excellent driving dynamics of the car. The top of the line 911 Turbo S comes with optional Sport Chrono Package. Also, for the first time all 911s will come with a mode switch on the steering wheel itself. This feature has been inherited from the 918 Spyder, which allows you to choose from four different driving modes - Normal, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual. And for that additional grunt while overtaking, the car comes with a special sort of NOx button we have in games called \'Sports Response Button\' that when pressed pre-conditions the drivetrain to offer maximum acceleration for 20 seconds.</p><p>2017 Porsche 911 range will powered &nbsp;by updated flat-six engines with the 911 Turbo and Turbo S using a 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged engine that now produces 533BHP and  572BHP respectively. The Carrera twins use a similar twin-turbo unit that belts out 370BHP on the Carrera Cabriolet and 420BHP on the Carrera S trims. All engines are coupled with Porsche\'s 8-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission that has been updated for more swift shifts.<br><br>Lastly, features that are upgraded on the new Porsche 911 range includes: Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) roll compensation and the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB). The cars also get new GT sport steering wheel, leather trimmed sports seats and new 20â€inch twin-spoke alloy wheels.</p><p>Porsche India Director Pawan Shetty said, \"Last year, we sold 408 units in India. We occupy a niche space in the luxury sports car market here and are looking for a steady growth in the country,\" Further adding, \"This is the 8th generation of the 911 model and is 12 percent more fuel efficient over the previous generations. Throwing light on the impact due the ban on diesel cars and SUVs with engines of 2000 cc and above, Shetty assured that it will have little impact on the company as the model runs only on petrol.</p><div><p><b>911 Range</b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<b>Price (ex-showroom, Delhi)</b></p><p>911 Carrera &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;1.42 Crore</p><p>911 Carrera Cabriolet &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1.55 Crore</p><p>911 Carrera S &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1.63 Crore</p><p>911 Carrera S Cabriolet &nbsp; &nbsp;1.76 Crore</p><p>911 Turbo &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;2.25 Crore</p><p>911 Turbo Cabriolet &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2.39 Crore</p><p>911 Turbo S &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2.66 Crore</p><p>911 Turbo S Cabriolet &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2.81 Crore</p></div><p></p>', 'p5.jpg', '2016-06-29', 1),

(37, 3, 'Article', 19, 'Types of Drivetrains: RWD vs FWD vs AWD', 'Types of Drivetrains RWD vs FWD vs AWD', '<p>\r\n\r\n</p><p>Types of Drivetrains:</p><p>Sometimes looks can be deceptive and the same applies to names as well. Like in this case, the name Drivetrain which sounds familiar to a ‘train’ in fact has nothing to do with a train, quite literally, and is actually a mechanism which is responsible for transferring power onto the driving wheels of your car. Drivetrain makes use of a combination of components such as axles, propeller shafts, drive shafts, differential and clutch etc, depending on the type of drivetrain, which governs the transfer of power coming from the engine on to the wheels of the car for rotation. The engine however, is not a part of the Drivetrain but transmission/gear box do come under the same. In simple terms, one can treat a drivetrain as a complex unit, which is a combination of a lot of parts and mechanisms, responsible for the actual rotation of the car wheels once you put your foot down on the accelerator pedal. Now, it is not as simple as it sounds. With a variety of cars available in the market, the drivetrain also varies depending on the car type and the requirement of power on to the wheels of the car.</p><p>Drivetrains can be majorly classified into below categories: &nbsp;</p><p>Front Wheel Drive or FWD:</p><p>As the name suggests, Front Wheel Drive mechanism means that all the power generated from the Engine is directed onto the front two wheels of the car with the help of the drivetrain. This is one of the most common type of drivetrain mechanism used in mass market Indian cars and globally as well due to its easy operation and maintenance. In FWD setup, the front two wheels are responsible to rotate with power input while the rear set of wheels are only dragged along by the front wheels. As most the cars have a front engine layout, so transferring power on to the front wheels only, which are located quite near to the engine, becomes easy and cost effective. Interesting things are happening as manufacturers continue to evolve this type of drivetrain to make them more effective. VW offers electronically locking front differential on front wheel drive cars that immensely improves car’s dynamics as well as making the car better for harsh weather.</p><p>Pros:</p><ul><li><p>Easy to develop</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Low on maintenance & affordability</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Less weight which increases efficiency</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Uses less space which results in more cargo and passenger utility</p></li></ul><p>Cons:</p><ul><li><p>Understeer: due to non-aligned center of gravity</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Low traction: as weight is shifted more on the front rather than at the rear or center of the car</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>More wear and tear at constant intervals due to the build geometry</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Bigger turning radius due to drive shaft assembly &nbsp;</p></li></ul><p>Common examples of Cars using FWD mechanism:</p><p>Due to its simple mechanism and affordable operations, almost all of the hatchbacks, mid segment sedans and even compact crossover SUVs make use of the FWD mechanism. Some of cars that use FWD are Renault Kwid, Maruti Suzuki Swift, Chevrolet Beat, Honda City, Ford Ecosport, Toyota Corolla Altis and many more. &nbsp;</p><p>Rear-Wheel Drive or RWD:</p><p>Also known as an enthusiast drivetrain, Rear-Wheel Drive mechanism is the same as its name suggests. The power coming from the engine is transferred onto the rear wheels which are responsible for moving the car. In this case, the front wheels lay idle and are dragged along by the rear set of wheels of the car. The reason why it is termed as an enthusiast drivetrain is because auto lovers and drivers all over the world prefer this drive train for better traction and accurate wheel response along with a hint of oversteer which let’s them maneuver the car more swiftly (when compared to FWD). The most common type of Rear Wheel drive is a Front Engine RWD where the engine is usually placed at the front of the car. There are other types of setups also available from car manufacturers depending on the placement of the engine such as Front Mid engine RWD, Rear Mid Engine RWD and also a complete Rear Engine RWD. &nbsp;</p><p>Pros:</p><ul><li><p>Better Handling- a RWD setup helps improve cornering due to a more suitable and even layout of the drive mechanism which improves road grip</p></li><li><p>Even weight Transfer- &nbsp;this is especially when the car is accelerating heavily, when power is supplied to the rear wheels it makes way for better weight distribution and increases the traction of the car</p></li><li><p>Better Braking- Due to better weight transfer, even shifting of weights while breaking also prevents wheel lock/jam usually seen in a FWD setup</p></li><li><p>More rugged - Due to ample space available and a different geometry used for assembly such as universal joints (instead of CV joints used in FWD) the mechanism undergoes less wear and tear and lasts longer &nbsp; &nbsp;</p></li></ul><p>Cons:</p><ul><li><p>Less Interior space - The transmission tunnel used in the assembly of RWD drivetrain takes a lot of space which further is adjusted by reducing space on the inside of the car</p></li><li><p>High price - The cost of assembly and labor is too high when compared to FWD layout. That is one of the reason RWD mechanism is only limited to sports or luxury segment of cars and not at all on mass market cars</p></li><li><p>Low Mileage- The RWD layout is not only hard to implement but it also consumes a lot of power especially because of the transmission tunnel which further transfers power from the engine traveling all the way back to the rear wheels. All of this consumes more power and thus results in a cut down in overall mileage of the vehicle </p></li><li><p>Limited traction on non-tarmac terrains such as snow, gravel and sand as the front of the car looses out on weight for pulling the car more prominently</p></li></ul><p>Common examples of Cars using RWD mechanism:</p><p>The RWD mechanism as discussed is meant only for sports cars and luxury cars which makes driving ‘fun’ for auto enthusiasts. Thus, all mass market cars do not possess this drivetrain. One of the exception is Maruti Eeco (and also Omni) that offers rear wheel drive. Another exception that can be made in this geometry on Indian roads is the Tata Nano, which uses a Rear Engine RWD mechanism because of its engine which is placed on the rear instead of the front. However, some of the other cars in India which comes with a RWD setup are Toyota Innova, Chevrolet Tavera, Mahindra Scorpio (in 4X2 guise) and cars premium cars like Lamborghini Huracan LP580, Mercedes AMG GT S, BMW M6 Gran Coupe and so on.</p><p>All Wheel Drive/Four Wheel Drive or AWD/4WD:</p><p>All Wheel Drive drivetrain is also commonly known as AWD or 4WD and is mostly related to vehicles which can run easily on multiple terrains. Sticking to its name, this mechanism sends power to all the four wheels of the car which means each wheel gets an individual torque supplied to generate more grip and thus better handling. Now, AWD or 4WD is a full time drive mechanism powering the wheels. Gear ranges can also differ accordingly and with the use of a transfer case power supply can be varied on all the four wheels. In our country, the most common use of 4WD or AWD drivetrain can be seen is SUVs and off-roaders. However, most advanced supercars and luxury cars also make use of this drivetrain as it provides much superior grip than any drivetrain. Audi was one of the pioneers for all wheel drive system with with its drivetrain Quattro. Also, several cars which are sold in India as primarily two wheel drive have 4WD on offer in Europe. Eg. Maruti Suzuki Swift, S-Cross. This could be due to weather conditions prevailing in the continent.</p><p>Pros:</p><ul><li><p>Superb Traction – With power coming to all the wheels, road grip and stability increases </p></li><li><p>All terrain stability – Biggest benefit of AWD is that it can smoothly run through almost all type of terrains which majorly includes Sand, Snow, Gravel, Off-road and comfortably on Tarmac as well</p></li></ul><p>Cons:</p><ul><li><p>Excessive weight – All because of the complicated mechanism and assembly in place, it takes up a lot of weight and further increases overall vehicle weight </p></li><li><p>Costly to implement – The AWD mechanism require a lot of components and thus increases the overall cost of the vehicle</p></li><li><p>Decreased Mileage- As the drivetrain can’t run on air, it requires more input from the engine which in return sips more fuel making the fuel efficiency count to go down when compared to other drivetrain.</p></li></ul><p>Common examples of Cars using AWD / 4WD mechanism:</p><p>This mechanism is not really seen on mass market cars due to its implementation cost and performance orientation which is not required for such cars. Now, the cars that usually get this drivetrain are majorly SUVs, off-roader SUVs and high end cars such as Renault Duster AWD, Mahindra XUV 500 AWD, Mahindra Thar, Hyundai Santa Fe, Audi Q7, Audi A8L and so on.</p><p></p>', 'awd1.jpg', '2016-07-01', 1),

Enthusiasts would have argued of having manual option too. But for now one has to do with the paddle-shifters that come with the automatic variant. The Ford Mustang will be offered in six colour options – Absolute Black, Ingot Silver, Oxford White, Triple Yellow Tricoat, Magnetic, and the signature Race Red.

The Mustang is a very base of American automotive, and the car that brought muscularity and power unparalleled. Following are some of the vital pointers of the legendary pony car: &nbsp;</p><p>1) Developed specifically for the all new 6th generation mustang, is the&nbsp;new Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) system that provides better handling and ride dynamics. Plus, it became the 1st version that was factory designed as a Right Hand Drive export model to be sold overseas through Ford new car dealerships in Right Hand Drive markets.</p><p>2) Electronic Line-Lock is one of the coolest features. It&nbsp;keeps the front brakes locked while the car is in gear to warm up the rear tires.</p><p>3)&nbsp;Standard safety features include antilock disc brakes, traction and stability control, a rear-view camera (though at this price 360 degree would be expected), front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags and a driver\'s knee airbag along with driver and co-driver air bags. Also has Ford\'s MyKey system (which allows owners to limit speed and audio volume levels for young drivers). Moreover, it earned a 5-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for front, side, and rollover crash protection.</p><p>4) Global Mustang not only has 3 more engine options to select from but also has more advanced gizmos like adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and an upgraded 12-speaker Shaker sound system to name few.<br>\r\n\r\n</p><p>5)\r\n\r\nMustang as perfect blend of retro to modern touches inside, such as the dual-cowl dashboard, metal toggle switch for – Drive modes (Normal, Sport+, Track, Snow/Wet), hazard lights, EPS and steering weight, with start/stop badge button next to them. Even knurled AC controllers goes with tough yet elegant personality. Despite the leather trim and metallic highlights, there are also plenty of hard plastics in the cabin.<br>\r\n\r\n</p><p>6) As of June 2015, 1 million Mustangs were affected by a recall of airbags made by Takata Corporation. This was after Takata announced that it was recalling 33.8 million vehicles in the U.S. for airbags that could explode and send metal pieces flying at drivers and passengers.</p>7)&nbsp;Long hood seemed to have eaten some space for passengers resulting in a cramped rear seat. Rear space is for short adults/kids only because while legroom is adequate, thanks to large cut-outs in the backs of the front seats, the headroom is virtually non-existent for taller occupants.<br><p>8)\r\n\r\nWhen looking at the muscular Mustang (now not as muscular as its name) from the sides, it reminds modern Aston Martin (though not a bad revelation yet loses its uniqueness). That said, it retains classic Mustang styling cues abound elsewhere, from the large trapezoidal grille and angled-back head lamps to the fastback roof line and iconic tri-bar tail lamps with the signature sequential turn indicators.&nbsp;</p><p>9) The steering has improved but it still lacks feel through the wheel to really inspire the driver with as much confidence as it could. Even switching through the selectable Drive Modes doesn\'t help - Sport and Track modes fails to add as much feel as it adds weight.<br></p>10)&nbsp;Oddly enough, there isn’t a single Ford badge anywhere on the new Mustang, except for the lone decal at the top of the windscreen, behind the rear-view mirror. This indicates strength of Mustang as a brand and confidence Ford has in it.<br>\r\n\r\n<p></p>', 'm4.png', '2016-07-15', 1);

Today the technologies are not ready for serious production.\"</p><p>&nbsp; For this project, Intel will supply the processing power and most of the computing hardware, Mobileye cope up with image processing and machine learning, and BMW designing the vehicle architecture. The three partners will work together on an open hardware and software platform, which will be shared with other automakers, as well as companies in other industries that might benefit from autonomous machines. BMW has been developing autonomous technology for a decade now. Despite the news of death of a Tesla driver while using the company\'s Autopilot system, BMW strongly emphasized that its technology will be fully ready for the roads in the next half a decade. The group is using a mixture of real-world and digital simulations to test their products. Interestingly, Tesla also uses a version of Mobileye\'s current driver-assistance technology in their cars.</p><p>&nbsp; The partners will engineer the platform to firstly deal with level three, or eyes off the road, automation. From there they will tackle level four or \"mind off\" self-driving before going on to level five or driver-free automation. BMW dreams high and big with hopes to have vehicles that don\'t require anyone to be in the vehicle to drive, allowing for drop-off, pick-up, and self-parking capabilities. The BMW spokesperson said, the iNext \"establishes the opportunity for self-driving fleets and lays the foundation for entirely new business models in a connected, mobile world.\" The iNext will have an electric drivetrain, lightweight design, and a new interior concept, which might be something showcased in the Rolls Royce Vision Next 100.</p><p>&nbsp; The recent development suggests almost complete shift towards EVs and autonomous vehicles.

Tiago is considered to be one the best products from Tata since they stunned the world with Indica and Safari. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; Simultaneously, <u><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://carhunt.in/Brand/Honda\">Honda</a></u> might be feeling the heat from intensifying competition. <u><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://carhunt.in/Honda/Amaze\">Amaze</a></u>, Honda’s compact sedan had been a consistent seller but in first quarter of this year, its sales have fallen. The best seller for Honda remains City, but it\'s also facing stiff competition from <u><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://carhunt.in/Brand/Maruti_Suzuki\">Maruti Suzuki’s</a></u> <u><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https://carhunt.in/Maruti_Suzuki/Ciaz\">Ciaz</a></u>. The fresh design and better quality has seen Tiago gather more than 22,000 booking. What’s equally surprising is that even petrol variant seems to be bringing in impressive volumes. Earlier, Tata Motor’s petrol engines were not considered competent enough and this also restricted sales. Tiago has changed that for good, though real change in perception was commenced by Zest with Turbocharged petrol unit which also has selectable drive modes. Even Tiago has selectable drive modes which is something unique, not offered by rivals. </p>&nbsp; Coming to numbers, total sales of Tata Motors in Q1 FY2016-17 stood at 28,598 units edging out Honda that clocked 26,617 units. Tiago also has benefited from newer petrol and diesel engines. A much needed change for a freshly designed hatchback competing in Indian small car space. The petrol engine Tiago is powered by 1.2 liter, 3 cylinder engine that puts out 85 BHP@6000 RPM and torque of 114 NM@3500 RPM and ARAI rated fuel economy is 23.8 kmpl. Diesel unit is a 1.05 litre, 3 cylinder engine developing 70 BHP@4000 RPM with torque figure of 140 Nm@1800-3000 RPM. This diesel engine literally sips fuel and ARAI fuel economy is an incredible 27.28 kmpl, something we Indians never cease to appreciate!<br><p></p><p>Source: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/companies/tiago-drives-tata-motors-to-3rd-slot-in-car-segment/article8850267.ece\">The Hindu BusinessLine</a></p>', '54.png', '2016-07-18', 1),

The order is to be in effect immediately and NGT has also asked Delhi RTO to share data of the vehicles whose registration will be cancelled. In Delhi, already 15 years older diesel vehicles are banned.</p><p>&nbsp; Exact details regarding this decision is yet not known and have to wait until announced to get clear picture. One thing\'s definitely clear that car makers, both new and used, are going to have merry time following this decision, as hundreds of thousands of cars will be pulled off of Delhi roads and owners will be forced to get new car. So increase in demand in both new cars and used cars with an inclination towards petrol won’t come as surprise. Car manufacturers will be evaluating their strategy to gain from this and try to compensate the big set-back most of them had have suffered due to the earlier ruling to ban vehicles with diesel engines larger than 2000cc. Meanwhile many unsuccessful attempts had been made to overturn the ruling of ban of 2000cc and above diesel units. Though it\'s expected that new ruling would help car manufacturers make up for some of the earlier lost volumes.</p><p>&nbsp; The single largest doubt regarding this decision is its effectiveness to reduce pollution. But this decision seems to be lot more logical than the earlier ban as old vehicles without doubt are bigger polluters but yet NGT seems to be ignoring the studies showing that only diesel are not to be blamed for air pollution. Many other sources like industries, petrol vehicles, burning of materials in winters for heat and illegal vehicles running on kerosene and many others contribute significantly to pollute the air. This new ruling, like the earlier ones too comes with obvious loopholes, forcing one to doubt its effectiveness to actually curb pollution. As owners now get 2000cc and above diesel cars registered from nearby places where ban isn’t applicable and additionally vehicles from that region travel across Delhi frequently so drop in car numbers have been seen but has the pollution actually reduced?</p><p>&nbsp; Adding to it, many people could also opt for getting their 10 year old diesel cars registered in nearby places like: Noida or Gurgaon. That brings us to the irony that this new ruling which doesn’t seem to have the clarity to achieve its intended purpose – curb air-pollution! The possibility of such order being implemented elsewhere in the country (just like ban on sale of cars over 2000cc was executed in Kerala) might also be in the minds of existing car owners across the nation.</p><p></p>', 'd2.jpg', '2016-07-18', 1),

Meanwhile no official announcement has been yet made for India. Hyundai’s Fluidic design has been tried and well received. The design which did wonders when it was first introduced; even after longer run, was able to attract many buyers. Based on the Fluidic 2.0 design philosophy all the South Korean vehicles, irrespective of their segments, be it the Elite i20 or Creta are doing fairly good. The pre-facelift Verna was the first car in India from Hyundai to feature the Fluidic Design language and became more popular than its non-Fluidic predecessor. That said, current version has lost its charm amid the competition and fresher rivals.</p><p>&nbsp; The concept of the next-generation Verna made its world debut in April 2016 at the Beijing Motor Show. The production version looks almost the one like concept shown by the company. Most of the attention at the front is drawn by the new hexagonal grille which is closely flanked by the new, slender projector headlamps with LED daytime running lights. The rear features new LED tail lamps and a little stubby boot with an integrated lip spoiler. More or less it seems like extended version of existing Elite i20 with an identical front.</p><p>&nbsp; The car will be 4380mm long, 1728mm wide, 1460mm tall with wheelbase of 2600mm standing on 16\" alloy wheels. Under the hood no new surprise is expected with same offering of 1.4L and 1.6L for both petrol and diesel motor respectively. Producing 106BHP with 135Nm torque and 121BHP with 155Nm of torque while running on petrol for 1.4L and 1.6L respectively. And diesel produces 89BHP with 220Nm of torque and 126BHP having 259Nm torque for 1.4L and 1.6L respectively. Both petrol and diesel chimneys are mated with option of 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic gearbox; the latter will replace the sluggish 4 speed tranny that\'s present in the existing model.</p><p>&nbsp; Hyundai will be willing to maintain the tag of offering the most gizmos in a car with features like sunroof and rear AC vents to make debut for the 1st time in Verna. According to the estimates, the 2017 Hyundai Verna price will be priced between 8 to 13 lakhs.</p><p>Image source: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://www.autohome.com.cn/news/201607/890729.html?pvareaid=101416\">AutoHome</a></p><p></p>', 'v1.jpg', '2016-07-19', 1),

Jeep said its birth date is on 15th July, 1941, which is when it officially received a government contract to produce the Willys MB. They unveiled the Jeep Wrangler 75th Salute concept, which is based on a Wrangler Sport and modified to replicate the Willys MB at Toledo, Ohio which is the oldest factory owned by the company. </p><p>&nbsp; The company had initial received order of 18,000 units priced at $749/unit at that time. Giving the Wrangler cosmetic look like the historic military Willys MB would have been a pretty lucid task for them with today’s tools and hands yet the Salute concept was built to be a simple workhorse just like the original 75 years ago. The Salute concept pays homage to the years of military service with the capability and performance of the 2016 Wrangler. And concept unit included dark green paint, 16\" steel wheels wrapped in non-directional tires, steel front and rear bumpers with tow hooks, a rear-mounted spare, wood hood blocks, and side mirrors and canvas seats. The doors, roof and B-pillars are absent and an empty rear cargo area, just like in the historic Jeep. The concept is powered by 3.6L Pentastar V6 meshed to a 6 speed manual gearbox.</p><p>&nbsp; Commenting on the occasion, Mike Manley, head of Jeep brand – FCA Global said, \"We are creating this unique Jeep Wrangler 75th Salute concept vehicle in celebration of the brand’s legendary history, and to demonstrate that 75 years later, today’s iconic Jeep Wrangler is instantly recognizable and clearly connected to the original Willys MB.\" Further continuing, \"Since they were first produced in 1941, Jeep vehicles have been the benchmark for off-road capability, having mastered more terrain, led more adventures and provided drivers more freedom than any other vehicle before or since.\"</p><p>&nbsp; The Salute concept is for very obvious practical reasons far from production, so Jeep says it’ll keep it as a show car. That said, you can get your hands on the Wrangler 75th Anniversary Edition, which was unveiled earlier this year and pays tribute to the original Willys. The special edition Wrangler sports exclusive \"Sarge\" green paint, commemorative badging, and bronze accents. Even special 75th anniversary trims has been launched across its whole range of models to get your hands on.</p><p></p>', 'j2.jpeg', '2016-07-19', 1),

Nissan’s new technology, called \"ProPILOT\", will be initially implemented in a redesigned Serena family van scheduled to be on sale in Japan in later days of August, the company confirmed. ProPILOT will be launched in the Qashqai crossover in Europe next year. However, the vehicles in the U.S. and China will have to wait a bit longer. Nissan did not forecast any timeline for introduction of those later models.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; The technology enables single-lane semi-autonomous driving on highways. It basically follows the car ahead, tracks lane markers and judges turns and curves.\r\n\r\nWith ProPILOT, the accelerator, brakes and steering are controlled based on information obtained through a mono camera equipped with advanced-image processing software. It automatically controls the distance from vehicle ahead while operating in a speed range of 30 to 100 kmph. Plus, it can also apply brakes to bring the vehicle to a full stop and keeps the vehicles stagnant without requiring the driver operating the brake pedal. Driving resumes when the driver slightly touches accelerator pedal.&nbsp;The system keeps a safe distance from the car ahead by analyzing and calculating speed and if needed it can apply brakes to adjust the speed and even stop completely when necessary. It also self-steers the car to keep the vehicle in center of driving lane making it go smoothly around the curves also. But as mentioned earlier it shouldn\'t be mistaken as complete autonomous car because the system has a torque sensor on the steering column which senses whether a hand is at helm or not. If not, a warning light comes on. If the driver still doesn’t take hold, a warning beeper starts to buzz. If there is no grip for several seconds, the self-driving function disengages. Nissan heavily stressed that automakers must take the initiative in warning drivers about the limitations of self-driving technology and in reminding drivers that they are the final line of defense against crashes. The safety of autonomously driving systems has come under heightened scrutiny following a deadly May crash of a Tesla Model S in the United States.&nbsp;That car was operated in the Autopilot mode, but Tesla has said crash data suggested the driver’s hands were not on the wheel at the time of the accident. It raised some questions about whether drivers were lulled into a false sense of security by the technology.</p><p>&nbsp; Executive Vice President Hideyuki Sakamoto said, \"We need to send out much stronger warnings as our technology becomes more advance.\" Further added, \"Improving safety and functionality have to come as a set.\" ProPILOT is the first step to urban autonomous driving by 2020. Aiming to become a leader in self-driving cars and electric vehicles, is a key pillar of CEO Carlos Ghosn’s strategy for re-branding the company as a technological innovator. The Japanese automaker plans to build upon ProPILOT with a more advanced system due around 2018 that will allow automated driving across multiple lanes. The later more sophisticated technology will be such an autonomous system that will allow cars to navigate city intersections and urban traffic without driver intervention - \"intersection autonomy\", Nissan promises.</p><p></p>', 'pp3.jpg', '2016-07-25', 1),

It is priced around $35,000 (~ Rs 23,45,000) making it the least expensive vehicle offered by them and it is possible due to cut in battery cost. Currently batteries are being imported from Japan for its current models. Panasonic Corporation which has invested $1.6 billion into the factory is installing machines in sealed, humidity-controlled rooms that will start making battery cells before the end of 2016. They are also shipping cells from Japan to the Powerwall business, which are operating in another section of the factory. Robots are used to place battery packs into home and office units, which store energy from solar panels and allow users to tap it during peak periods. Musk said the Powerwall business will initially make up about one-third of the Gigafactory\'s output, but eventually could expand to around half. It’s a gamble as in if there is change in technology of batteries then company is forced to do new investment and there are also chances that demand never reached that high levels or what if the Model 3 is delayed, for example, or customers\' deposits don\'t turn into actual sales, Tesla will have extra batteries on its hands and no way to recoup its costs. Only time can answer this dilemmas whether partner companies will touch the stars or get sunken in red Nevada sand.</p><p></p>', 'ggf1.jpg', '2016-07-29', 1),

The \'Betterment charge\' and a \'Betterment tax\' is expected to grab a much higher revenue than what was generated through the present toll tax regime. The \'Betterment charge\' will be a one-time tax on those setting up resorts, restaurants, hotels, motels or shops parallel to the highways.

Charges to be paid will vary as per the area and has to be paid at time of asking for permission to acquire the land. Tax will be an annual fee which would help develop service lanes and approach roads to the highways.

(110, 3, 'Article', 5, 'The curious case of General Motors in India', 'The curious case of General Motors in India', '<p>\r\n\r\n</p><p>&nbsp; After leaving India in 1952-53, 1995 was the year that marked General Motors\' return to Indian market. First brand which GM set forth its Indian Innings was Opel. Famous in Europe, Opel was marketed as a Premium brand for its time and Astra was their first model here. Quickly the feedback for Astra started flowing in with people having access to quality they had never seen or felt before. Very little competition saw Astra as a premium sedan and with Opel brand, it seemed that GM has got all things right. Confident, they came up with several other products like Corsa and Vectra. Vectra was an import and soon faded away, but it was Corsa which helped Opel brand find new homes. Back then, Corsa was one of the highest selling cars in the world, a fact GM tried to publicize. Corsa was one the few cars which was available as a hatchback, sedan and station wagon, pretty much ahead of its time. Also, there were engine options which were rather rare in that era. Over a period of time, the brand Opel was losing steam due to several factors like high maintenance costs, lower efficiency of its products and not so nice pre and post sales experience. Car buyers were not hitting the GM showroom floors and then came in Chevrolet brand. Chevrolet was well known in India due to their presence in a few years after Indian Independence. While 2003 will be noted down as Chevrolet\'s re-entry to Indian soil, 2006 was the year when Opel brand was discontinued. Chevrolet Forester SUV, a rebadged Subaru Forester, and Chevrolet Optra, a rebadged Daewoo Nubira were GM India’s latest weapons for increasing sales. Forester quickly tanked thanks to a petrol-only engine that did its job well, but that was all about it. Optra soldiered on with updates and even a diesel was available but was discontinued in 2012. It\'s noteworthy that GM came up with Optra SRV, a hatch based on Optra and marketed as premium hatch, agaon a move much ahead of its time.</p><p>&nbsp; The saving grace turned out be Tavera, which is still on sale today and likely to receive upgrades. Spark, a rebadged Daewoo Matiz (GM took over Daewoo Automotive Division in 2001), its international replacement, Beat were also sharing showroom floor with Cruze. Cruze was GM’s first global model that hit India. Before that, either European and later, only Asian models were launched. Cruze was once leading the sales chart in its segment. A strong diesel got attention of buyers and competition alike, but it could not sustain the onslaught of competition. Captiva, a crossover, also did well briefly, but fizzled out. More recent launches like Sail UV-A and sedan, Enjoy are also struggling to find new homes. Enjoy MPV is from SAIC (Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation) product stable, GM’s Chinese partner. The Indian buyers could not stand a relatively dated Chinese MPV rebadged as Chevrolet.</p><p>&nbsp; Above is just a brief history of models (some might have been missed out) that came out as GM’s attempt to win Indian market. But if we observe closely, all its models perform well initially and then the sales number just tank. GM did start to offer fantastic warranty and service packages, but to no avail. What exactly went wrong? For once, the marketing push was never there, and initial image of heavy on pocket cars is turning out to be quite difficult to change. The launches from Asian subsidiaries were already dated by the time they hit the street and very fierce competition from players like Ford, Hyundai and Maruti Suzuki did not help either. High volume segment observes cut throat competition, and this is where GM could not find the right product at the right time. And it went on to record losses year on year. Ford, GM’s global competitor also passed through rough phase, but has bounced back strongly and now even exports cars from India. GM could not connect with Indian consumer like what Hyundai did in late 1990’s or what Maruti did in middle of 1980’s. The Chevrolet Tavera emission scandal did not help either. SAIC and GM India entered into Joint Venture in late 2009, though in 2012 GM bought back shared and current holding of SAIC is 7%. Its highly probable that SAIC’s influence to make decision for Indian Operations could be one of the reasons for GM’s struggle. The Chinese products are not finding any favor amongst competent products offered by rivals.</p><p>&nbsp; Currently, one of its oldest model on sale, Tavera, remains one of the best seller for Chevrolet, and it\'s no wonder that why it\'s being upgraded. Beat, despite the diesel option has lost the race in small car segment and GM has been reluctant to launch Sonic which has the potential to fight it out in competitive small car segment. GM’s Halol plant was to be closed down by June 2016, but now it\'s been extended to March 2017. There are various reasons for it ranging from GM’s earlier commitments when they got the land to set up facility to pending case against shutting down of plant. The way forward for GM looks tough. Its compact sedan, Beat Essentia, is a late entry into fiercely competitive volume segment and it\'s too little too late. Cruze needs a replacement and price hikes on current model have eroded value for money advantage it once held. Tavera is going to be cabbie favorite thanks to robust build and low maintenance, with new Innova Crysta having high price, it could be right opening for GM to strike back and win some volumes. A more serious effort in small car segment is one of the methods for GM can get back into profit. With current volumes, it\'s not logical and feasible for GM to run two plants, one at Halol and the other at Talegaon in Maharashtra. A thorough overhaul of brand image, products and serious marketing push can only ensure survival. It\'s a tough and uphill task, but GM has the right products and resources globally to assist Indian operations.</p><p></p>', 'chevyoffers2.jpg', '2016-07-22', 1),

The screen can aid in parking via the 360 degree surround camera system.\r\n\r\nWe expect the 11 speaker 380W Meridian sound system in the top-end trim while the maps for navigation will be sourced from MapMyIndia just like other JLR models. \r\n\r\n The instrument cluster houses a 12.3\" fully digital screen and changes the colors of speedo based on the drive modes. Rest of the interior features remain more or less the same as the current model which includes the rotatory AC vents and pop-up gear knob. The design of the center console, from the infotainment system to the armrest, is identical to XE. The drama of motorized opening and closing of the main AC vents is also missed.</p><p>&nbsp; Lets see under the hood. The XF expects to come with petrol as well as diesel engine options. The new 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel engine churns out 180 BHP of power and 430 Nm, where the petrol trim gets the same 2.0-litre engine that churns out 240 BHP and 340 Nm of torque. The engine unit is paired with 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. The 6 speed manual transmission, available globally, won\'t make it to India.&nbsp;It\'s jaguar so how can it miss out on the JaguarDrive control system? The car has 4 driving modes to choose from, Standard, Eco, Dynamic or Rain/Ice. Safety wise, it was rated 5 star in the Euro NCAP tests. Sadly, the state-of-the-art features like Lane Departure Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking are likely to be skipped in the Indian version. The expected price would be around Rs. 51 Lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).</p><p></p>', 'xf.jpg', '2016-08-09', 1),
