Chevrolet Aveo CNG has been launched in Mumbai by the GM. It is the CNG version of Chevrolet Avoreo which is launched in Mumbai at affordable price range - Rs 6.31 lakh.

The most popular website of auto industry - www.zigwheels.com writes about the price of Chevrolet Aveo CNG, “The car comes factory fitted with a sequential injection CNG kit and will cost Rs 6,31,257 (ex-showroom) in Mumbai as an introductory offer. GM, in keeping with their amazing after sales offers, has also announced a 3 year/100000km warranty on the Aveo CNG.”

Further the website writes about the overall performances of Chevrolet Aveo CNG, “The CNG kit on the Aveo is microprocessor controlled sequential injection type and is programmed to provide precisely metered bursts of fuel with every injection. GM claims a 17km/kg fuel efficiency for the Aveo while running on CNG. With the 12 kg fuel tank in place in the boot, that amounts to almost 200km of range on CNG and around 940km (claimed) combined with the existing 1.4 litre petrol engine. With an operating cost of Rs 1.85 per kilometer, that would roughly work out to savings of Rs 24,500 over 10000km and Rs 73,500 over 30000km. GM claims that works out to 57 percent lower than a similar vehicle running on petrol and 25 percent than running on diesel. Costing less than the normal Aveo 1.4 LS (which goes for Rs 6,46,322) thanks to the low introductory price, the CNG is fantastic value for money at the moment. But even when the prices return to normal eventually, the CNG version is definitely meant to benefit owners with long commutes to recover the extra money spent and to further their savings. Boot space is also compromised to make space for the 12kg CNG cylinder, but with the fitment of the kit coming from the GM factory itself, owners can rest assured of the safety of the setup.”

So, it is the CNG kit of GM which offers the best fuel efficiency. The new version of Chevrolet Aveo will be benefited for the owners. It becomes the biggest competitor for Nissan Micra in India.

Hyundai Verna Transform – Hyundai Introduced Verna Transform in India

Hyundai Motor India Ltd. introduced its new model Verna Transform sedan. It is an updated version of its current Verna. It is being considered as the cheapest sedan in India.

About the looks and design of Hyundai Verna Transform - www.zigwheels.com writes, “For starters, and probably the sight that you'll notice the most is the dramatic job performed on the front end. Not only does the Verna Transform get a new pair of headlamps - that themselves are far more stylish than the current set, but it also gets a completely new front bumper as well. The headlights now look more in line with Hyundai's scorcher-of-a-car, the Genesis Coupe which is most definitely a huge improvement on the earlier units that the Verna had. But the headlamp change doesn't garner just visual appeal - Hyundai claims that it also provides better illumination. The front bumper gets a curvier theme with creases that seem to converge to a point behind the license plate - an effect that gets accentuated by the new grille that features body-colour slats running its full width just under the Hyundai logo. Then there is also the cascade mesh air dam and the round fog lamps surrounded by black inserts. Completing the visual changes on the front is the sleek row of LED turn indicators on the wing mirrors. The tail features a new lamp design as well as chrome garnish along with a dual tone redesigned bumper. But the highlight of the rear end has to be the trapezoidal chrome finished exhaust tip.”

Further the news portal writes about the diesel and petrol variants of Hyundai Verna Transform, “Interested buyers will still get a choice of a 1.6 litre petrol and a 1.5 litre diesel engine. The petrol engine puts out 103.2PS @ 5500rpm and 146 Nm of torque that peaks at 3000rpm and finds way into the Verna Transform 1.6 VTVT and 1.6 SX VTVT. The diesel unit makes 110PS @ 4000rpm and 236Nm between 1900 and 2750rpm and is available in three variants - 1.5 CRDi VGT, 1.5 SX CRDi VGT & 1.5 SX VGT (AT). While both petrol variants and the first two mentioned diesel variants are mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, the 1.5 SX VGT (AT) is coupled to a 4-speed auto'box.”

Finally, the news portal writes about the price range of Hyundai Verna Transform, “Hyundai has taken a bold step to inject new life into the four year old sedan that still rakes up quite a decent sales figure. One look at the Verna Transform's pricing and you know it's going to keep the cash flowing in. The base petrol Verna Transform remains at Rs 6.55 lakh while the SX VTVT will now go for Rs 7.5 lakh - only Rs 20,000 higher than the older SX. The 1.5 CRDi is now Rs 7.87 lakh and the SX variant on the oil-burner will retail for Rs 8.38 lakh with the manual transmission while the 1.5 SX VGT (AT) is tagged at Rs 9.21 lakh (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).”

Overall, Hyundai has tried to give a new car to its customers. Verna Transform is an affordable and updated version car. The car will create the biggest competition for Honda Civic in Indian market. The company expects to sell 2,000 units a month of the Verna Transform.

The coupe with its frameless doors, no B-pillar and curvaceous roofline coupled with the long hood and short boot has all the classic coupe lines and looks far more sporty and elegant as compared to the slightly boxy sedan.

Only two versions of the R-Class will make it to Britain; the rear-drive R300 CDI Blue Efficiency and the all-wheel drive long-wheelbase R350 CDI L 4MATIC.

Recently, the news came in light after a long wait that Porsche Panamera V6 revealed. It was the biggest news because it is the most awaited car in the motor industry. On the release of Porsche Panamera V6, Zigwheels.com writes, “Buoyed by the worldwide success of the Panamera, Porsche is all set to launch the base version of the Panamera, the Panamera and the Panamera 4. Up until now the Panamera has only been available with normally aspirated or turbocharged versions of its V8 engine. Both the Panamera and Panamera 4 models will be available with a brand-new Porsche-designed 3.6-litre V6 featuring Direct Fuel Injection developing maximum output of 300 hp and peak torque of 400 Nm. That's about 111Nm per liter of displacement, while a lot of other engines barely touch 100Nm per liter. Normally you only get 400Nm from well-tuned 4.0 liter engines.

Featuring a 90 degree V-angle, the V6 engine sits snugly beneath the sleek bonnet and, following the Porsche tradition, the Panamera transmits its power to the road via the rear wheels, while the Panamera 4, as its name suggests, comes as standard with active all-wheel drive. The V6 engine will be mated to Porsche's PDK gearbox and will also include Auto Start/Stop aiding fuel consumption figures. As you'd expect with its smaller-engined saloon, Porsche's big noise is about the V6's cleanliness emitting just 218g/k of CO2.

Like the V8 versions, the base versions offer steel suspension as standard with optional variable dampers, adaptive air suspension with additional air volume is also available as an option and provides an even wider range of suspension settings to extend the driving qualities further still. The Panamera and Panamera 4 will be making their world debut at the Beijing Motor Show on 23 April 2010.”

The review about Porsche Panamera V6 is really very impressive that makes the car more brilliant. Features, design, engine and body of the car are really very impressive that make it bold. The news about Porsche Panamera V6 is as interesting as Indigo Manza.
