Toyota Fortuner Facelift 2012 exteriors:
Considering the images released on the autocarindia.com, the New Toyota Fortuner Facelift has got a new front end with slight changes in the nose, head lamps and grille. The restyledBonnet and chrome grille gives a wider beefy look for the Fortuner facelift from the front side. Roof rack and scuff plate sporting the Fortuner name can be kept optional.

The interiors part has not been revealed yet. However, with the guess works going around, Toyota Fortuner Facelift is expected to have top notch interior designing including finely fabricated leather seats, appropriately faced AC vents, dashboard with music controls etc. The Fortuner facelift might have a keyless entry for the Indian version and slight modifications to suit the Indian roads.

The Toyota Fortuner Facelift has surely got the power to serve the off-road enthusiasts. Toyota Fortuner Facelift is powered by 3.0-litre common-rail dieselmotor which is capable of generating maximum power of 169bhp, the same engine which serves Prado Land Cruiser. For the Indian version the same 3.0-litre common-rail diesel is expected to do the duties and a auto-transmission version is also expected.

'Diamond Tech' is the new improvisation made by Toyota motors to enhance the performance, mileage and most of all the life of engine.

All new Ambassador makeover by Hindustan Motors in 2012 .

By -

Sixty years back, the word ‘car’ in India literally meant the Ambassador for most Indians. A lot has changed since then, with horde of automobile manufacturers active in the Indian market, sales figures for Hindustan Motors have hit an all time low 5,510 units in the first 10 months of the current fiscal year. Over the years, it has been the Indian political class that has been keeping Hindustan Motors rolling. The latest blow to Hindustan motors came from the Govt. of India itself, which replaced the Ambassador with cars like the  Maruti SX4  and the  Tata Indigo CS considering safety and performance issues. The next-gen Ambassador will feature structural, aerodynamic and aesthetical chages. Changes on board the 2012 Ambassador include new engine calibrations, an anti-lock brake system and aluminium alloy wheels. For comfort, there will be new leather seats coupled with wood grain interiors. For the first time, there will also be an integrated music system and redesigne...

Force One to get 4x4 in mid-2012

Force Motors, which launched its first SUV, Force One, last August will launch a new 4x4 version and a variant equipped with ABS by mid-2012. The new 4X4 was displayed at the Auto Expo last month. At the launch, the company had indicated its intentions to offer more features in the SUV at a later stage. These features have made it to the SUV, but the company has been tight-lipped about launch date  and price tag. The 4x4 variant will continue to be powered by the FM-Tech 2.2-litre common-rail turbo-diesel motor that develops 139bhp and 32.6kgm of torque. It will be offered with a five-speed manual gearbox as is the case with the 4x2 version. There will be no visual changes to  differentiate the 4x4 from its 4x2 sibling, except for  the badge. We expect the ABS-equipped 4x4 version to  cost at least Rs 1 lakh more than the 4x2 variant, which costs Rs 10.65 lakh (ex-showroom,  Delhi).

Maruti 800 replacement coming soon.

Authentic Cars  broke the news on the upcoming Maruti 800 way back in July last year   and now we bring you more info on the car that will finally replace the venerable Maruti 800.  This new car, to be called the Alto 800 (codename: YE3), is based on the Alto, but with significant modifications done to make it cheaper. Not to be confused with the Alto sold in Japan, the new Alto 800 is based on the current generation Alto (YG4) but with a new body and interior. As seen in the pictures, the design is rather basic but there is more than a passing resemblance to the Japanese Alto, especially from the front. The nose gets high-mounted headlights, a slim, slot-like grille and there is a huge secondary air-inlet opening above and below the bumper. The styling is in line with the current-generation Suzukis, and details like the slanting window-line point to an aggressive tip-forward stance. Also, there is a prominent character-line that runs on the sides, right from the head...
