Fiat Linea Facelift.

By -
Back in January 2012, Fiat launched the 2012 Fiat Linea and 2012 Fiat Grande Punto in the Indian market. Whereas during the same period, in Turkey, Fiat was working on the facelift model of the New Fiat Linea 2013 and recently it has started assembling the same.

 As of now we do not expect this new model to come to India but in 2013 we can surely expect the same to reach the Indian shore.

The  new additions in the 2013 Fiat Linea are:
  • From the image it is completely clear that the front fascia has got some major improvements
  • A good amount of chrome has been used on the face now
  • A new chrome grille is there
  • Revised bumpers with chrome accents
  • A lip spoiler
In India the Fiat Linea 2012 is available with three engine options, a 1.4 litre petrol, a 1.4 litre T-Jet petrol and a 1.3 litre Multijet diesel but also comes with a 1.6 litre Multijet diesel engine. However the New Fiat Linea 2013 facelifted model will also feature a 1.4 litre Multiair petrol engine and a second generation 1.3 litre Multijet diesel engine. It is yet to be known whether the 1.4 Multiair will reach India or not.

By comparison to the older model, the 2012 Linea has been upgraded with features like rain sensing wipers, automatic headlamps, improved sound proofing ( only available with diesel versions), better air conditioning system and 185 mm of ground clearance which is best-in-class. Despite the remarkable upgrade, the car is still finding it hard to reach a position where it sales are appreciable enough. So let us hope the New Fiat Linea 2013 model comes to the domestic market soon and improves the sales further for Fiat India with its improved styling and better engine options.

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.

These are the first official images of Honda’s all-new CR-V. Honda had released the first official picture of the CR-V concept last summer, and was due to unveil the production car at next month's Los Angeles motor show. However, the latest images appeared without explanation on the Honda’s Japanese website at the weekend. The CR-V is based on an all-new platform. The most prominent changes are at the front, where the CR-V features a wraparound lower front bumper that is better integrated into the rest of the front fascia than on the current car. The three-bar horizontal front grille is also much more dominant than the current CR-V’s, with slimmed-down headlights flanking it on either side. Honda claims the front-end styling changes result in much improved aerodynamics over the current car. Sculpted bodywork features on the sides, which also get more pronounced side sills. The large alloy wheels featured on the concept have been exchanged for more practical-looking variants.
