Honda Cars India at the 2016 Auto Expo

Japanese manufacturer Honda may come with a few surprises this year at the Auto Expo. From what has been heard, it will be a display of facelifts and new models for the company. Let us take a closer look at what should be seen in the Honda cars pavilion this year:

A) Honda Amaze facelift: Talks about a new avatar of the Honda Amaze are on for quite some time now. Major changes will be seen on the interior, which is expected to be on similar lines as the Mobilio. In fact, the new Mobilio was launched yesterday in Indonesia. Like the Mobilio, the new Amaze will get a touchscreen entertainment system having integrated reverse camera display, automatic climate control and rectangular AC vents. On the outside, only the front grill will be restyled. Amaze will mechanically remain the same.


B) Honda BR-V:   The BR-V from Honda is going to be a major highlight this year. The reason for it is the first compact SUV, or Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) as called by Honda, will be showcased. Its bold sporty appearance, coupled with curvy looks and SUV-like handling is likely to make it stand out. To be launched this year, the vehicle will clash head-on with the Hyundai Creta and new Renault Duster.



C) New generation Honda Accord- After going out of the market for some time, the Honda Accord is now back in its latest avatar.  The most interesting aspect to look out for is that the Accord will return with a hybrid engine! The 2 litre, i-VTEC petrol engine will be combined with an electric motor. While the petrol unit will churn out 141 bhp, the total power output on this sedan will be 196 bhp, with 306 Nm of torque. Transmission on it will be electronic CVT.



D) McLaren Honda MP4-30: Racing machine Mclaren Honda MP4-30 may steal the show from everything else at the Honda pavilion. This Formula One car is the first one built by the company since 1992.  



E) Honda ASIMO: Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility (ASIMO) is a highly advanced humanoid robot. It will be present at the expo and is expected to thrill the audiences.

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

Image
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
