Carmakers dole out huge year-end discounts.

By -

The year-end brings with it a whole host of reasons for car buyers to celebrate. This time of year is one of the best to seal the deal on the car of your choice, as carmakers dish out huge deals and discounts in a bid to clear their inventories. And if buying a car that’s made in 2012 instead of 2013 isn’t much of a deterrent, there’s no better time than now to upgrade to a new set of wheels and make the most of your budget.

Kicking off the list is Hyundai. The carmaker is offering a cash discount of Rs 60,000 on all the variants of its Santa Fe SUV.

Fiat is also offering a whole range of discounts on the Linea. The Linea 1.4 Active Absolute edition is being offered with free insurance worth Rs 25,848, a cash discount of Rs 25,000, an exchange bonus of Rs 15,000 and a corporate discount of Rs 7,000, equaling to a chunky savings of Rs 72, 848. The Linea 1.4 Dynamic Absolute edition also has similar cash, exchange bonus and corporate discounts, but the free insurance worth Rs 29,325 bumps the total savings to Rs 76,325. If you’re in the market for the diesel Linea, however, there are even bigger gains to be had. The Absolute edition of the Active, Dynamic and Emotion packs stretch up to Rs 76,442, Rs 80,026 and Rs 81,281 respectively.

Potential Honda owners will have much reason to rejoice this year end. Dealers are offering a fat Rs 2,50,000 discount on the Accord 2.4 AT and the Accord V6 AT. The Civic, which is now discontinued, is also being offered with a hefty Rs 1,50,000 discount on all trim levels.

Mahindra also has deals on its Scorpio and Xylo. The Scorpio VLX 4x4 is being offered with free insurance worth Rs 46,015 and an exchange bonus of Rs 10,000, while the VLX 4x2 trim is being offered with free insurance worth Rs 43,393 and a similar exchange bonus of Rs 10,000. The Scorpio VLX fitted with an auto ‘box has quite a big discount on of Rs 58,992, which includes free insurance worth Rs 48,992 and an exchange bonus of Rs 10,000. The Xylo E8 can be bought with free insurance worth Rs 44,862 and an exchange bonus of Rs 10,000, totalling up to Rs 54,862 in savings.

Skoda is offering very tempting discounts on its Laura with the 2.0-litre diesel motor. The L&K AT is being sold with a cash discount of Rs 90,000, along with a corporate discount of Rs 17,500, bringing the total discount to a whopping Rs 1,07,500. Similar discounts are being offered on the Ambience AT, Elegance, Ambiente and Elegance AT trim levels. The Superb’s 1.8 TSI trim levels are being sold with an even greater discount. The Ambition MT, Elegance MT, and Elegance AT are all being offered with a cash discount of Rs 1,50,000 and a corporate discount of Rs 12,500. The Superb’s 2.0 TDI’s Ambition AT and Elegance AT trim levels are also being sold with similar discounts totalling up to Rs 1,62,500.

Perhaps the biggest discount, however, is the one Tata is offering. There is a huge cash discount of Rs 2,00,000 and an exchange bonus of Rs 50,000 to be had on all the trim levels of the Aria.

With such tempting discounts on the table, this is the best time to go out and splurge on the car of your dreams.

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...
