New car discounts this month.

By -

Buying a new car is always an exciting prospect, and with the start of a new month there are a host of new and exciting discounts on offer at dealerships across the country. But before you walk into a dealership, here's a look at the best deals available on hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs and MPVs in the market right now. Of course, remember to bargain hard for the best discounts.
Hatchbacks

Maruti WagonR Stingray
The WagonR Stingray is a stylish alterative to the practical WagonR hatchback, and comes with a longer feature list. It is available with a five-speed manual gearbox and an AMT. Maruti Suzuki is offering discounts of up to Rs 70,000 across all variants of this car.
 
Fiat Avventura
The Avventura caters to those who aspire to own an SUV while enjoying the practicality of a hatchback. Based on the Punto Evo, it is available with a ground clearance of 205mm, powered by the same petrol and diesel engines, and is also offered in the Abarth trim, with a turbocharged petrol motor. The Fiat is offering discounts up to Rs 65,000 on the Avventura.
 
Hyundai Grand i10
Hyundai’s practical Grand i10 has been a popular choice in its segment. With the arrival of the Tiago, the Korean carmaker is offering up to Rs 45,000 off on select variants of the Grand i10. This car is available with a 1.2-litre petrol and 1.1.-litre diesel engine mated to a five-speed manual transmission, while the former is available with an automatic transmission as well.
 
Volkswagen Polo
The Polo is being offered with discounts of up to Rs 35,000 at select dealerships. Volkswagen’s premium hatchback is available with a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The German manufacturer has also added the GT line offering more power and an automatic dual-clutch transmission with the TSI variant.

SUVs/MPVs
 
BMW X5
A direct rival to the Mercedes GLE and GLS, the BMW X5 with a 3.0-litre diesel is a fun-to-drive SUV that comes in a seven-seat configuration. BMW is offering a discount of close to Rs 5.5 lakh on this SUV.
 
Renault Duster MT
Renault’s once game-changing Duster has begun facing the heat from its Korean and Japanese rivals. This car was recently updated and is offered with both a petrol and diesel engine; the latter is available in two states of tune (85hp and 110hp). The French manufacturer is offering up to Rs 70,000 off on the variants with a manual transmission. Sadly, the AMT variant doesn’t get discounts as of now.

Sedans.
 
Mercedes-Benz C 200
The petrol version of the C-class is available with a mouth-watering discount of up to Rs 4 lakh (including insurance). Discounts will vary across cities. This baby S-class goes head-to-head against the Audi A4, BMW 3-series and Jaguar XE.
 
Skoda Rapid
Skoda’s competent entry-level sedan has been around for a while now. As a part of a stock clearing exercise to make way for the updated model scheduled to hit showrooms in the coming months, the Czech carmaker is offering up to Rs 1.10 lakh discount on the Rapid.
 
Honda Amaze (pre-facelift)
Honda gave the Amaze a mid-life makeover recently. However, stocks of the pre-facelift version are still available with dealers which are being offered with a discount of around Rs 1 lakh, based on availability.
 
Nissan Sunny
The Nissan Sunny’s generous rear legroom has been one of its key strengths. However, neither its facelift nor its fuel-efficient diesel engine was enough to get it moving off the showroom floors. Its dwindling dealer network only worsened things for this sedan. Currently, the Sunny is available at a discount of Rs 90,000.

Volkswagen Vento
The Vento was given a makeover recently and it now looks like its expensive elder sibling, the Passat. This updated car also comes with additional equipment to match its direct rivals – City and Ciaz. It is available at a discount of Rs 75,000 in certain regions.
 
Maruti Ciaz
Maruti’s premium sedan has been giving the segment-leading Honda City sleepless nights ever since its launch in the country. Maruti has sweetened the deal by offering with discounts of up to Rs 45,000 across select variants on the Ciaz. The sporty RS variant doesn’t get any discounts.

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...
