Build-up to Auto Expo 2016

The 2016 Auto Expo in India is going to be bigger and badder than every before, Up to 80 new vehicles are going to be launched this year at Greater Noida Expo Mart. This is the most coveted event for all auto manufacturers in India, who wish to capitalise on this mega event to inform their customers about new launches and events.



About the Venue

Instead of Pragati Maidan, the venue of the Auto Expo has now been shifted to Greater Noida. One of the major reasons for this was mismanagement of facilities at Pragati Maidan a few years ago. Space is also more here- instead of 68,000 sq mt in 2014, auto manufacturers get a record 73,000 sq mt to display their machines and technology. 



Dates

The Expo will be catering to members of the media on 3rd and 4th February. For the regular visitors, it is open from 5th-9th February. Footfalls in the current year are expected to rise by at least 20% as compared to 2014. You will get to see a record 65 exhibitors this year at the Expo.

So what to expect from the car and two-wheeler manufacturers?

This is an introductory blog about the 2016 Auto Expo. Stay tuned here for the latest news and developments.

The face behind MG Hector in India

Image
Have you wondered who the smart-looking man appearing in the MG Hector advertisement in India really is? At first glance, many of you may have even thought of him to be straight out a Stark Trek movie. It is none other than Benedict Cumberbatch, a theatre-born UK actor who has entered in a number of stage shows and movies, Avengers being one of them. Cumberbatch has been chosen as the brand ambassador for Hector. He is been shown as a car user who completely enjoys the fact that his SUV talks to him like a regular human being, and identifies him as one. Smart technology for a smart man, wouldn't you say? When chosen to be the ambassador, Benedict Cumberbatch was absolutely thrilled to bits, having grown up in awe of the iconic brand MG. Over the years, he has always been inquisitive about MG Midgets and MGB. As far as career goes, the actor has experimented with different roles across TV shows, stage productions and films, constantly trying to raise the bar. Now this is one v

Read about the latest MG Hector news

We know you have been following this space regularly for updates on the latest MG Hector. As per the latest MG Hector news, it has already been revealed ahead of its launch in June 2019. Of course, so far you had been only reading about different specs, both interior and exterior, but it is finally time to see the massive SUV in the flesh, and boy, it sure was a pleasure to get a feel of the UK product in India. Though it already looked big in pictures, trust us, the MG Hector exterior is even bigger in the flesh. Its length of 4655 mm is complemented with a butch-looking black mesh grille, surrounded by delicious dollops of chrome. Its headlamp assembly is in the bumper and DRLs (Daytime Running Lights) are placed just on top. All said and done, the massive overhang may just be a wee bit difficult to get in and out of city traffic. But then, what are highways and expressways really for, if not to let such vehicles express themselves? Parameter Dimensions

New Maruti WagonR- is it better than its predecessor?

Image
The legacy of the WagonR in India is virtually unsurmountable. Bands in the late 1990’s and up to 2005 have regularly used it to transport audio equipment. It provides comfortable upright seats and is suitable even for the septagenerians. So, did it really need an upgrade, considering its sales of nearly 10,000 a month? Maruti felt that the new Wagon R 2019 was necessary, and here’s how. For one, the new Wagon R 2019 has more space than before, certainly looking like a grown-up hatchback now, despite being under 4 m in length. The headlights are bolder, closely resembling those of the Ignis, though not quite as stylish. Oh yes, it gives you two options now for power- a 1.0 litre 3-cylinder engine and a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder engine. This single aspect easily beats its competition that comprises of the Santro, Tata Tiago, and its very own Celerio. Step into the vehicle, and its interiors seem miles ahead of the competition. Remember the time when Hyundai Santro’s interiors, wi
