Fresh Car launches in June 2015
From Ford’s fresh sub-4 metre sedan to Tata’s refreshed Safari Storme, the month of June has fairly a few launches scheduled
1.) Maruti Suzuki Celerio Diesel
When Maruti Suzuki launched the Celerio at the two thousand fourteen Auto Expo, they made it available only with a petrol engine. Now the Manesar-based car maker is set to introduce the car in diesel form. Powered by an all-new 793cc 3-pot unit, the Celerio diesel will make 47.7PS and 118.6Nm. This unit is essentially the same Fiat sourced one that we have also seen on Maruti`s other hatchbacks, minus one cylinder. According to Maruti Suzuki dealers in Mumbai, the Celerio diesel will cost only marginally more than the petrol version. The Celerio diesel will go on sale on June three and is expected to be priced around Rs five lakh. In our market, it will go against the likes of the Chevrolet Strike and the Hyundai Grand i10.
Ford is about to come in the utterly competitive sub-4 metre market with the Figo Aspire. Set to go against the Tata Zest, Hyundai Xcent, Honda Amaze and the Maruti Suzuki Swift DZire, the Figo Aspire will be launched at a beginning price of around Rs five lakh. When it comes to the engine, the Figo Aspire will come with petrol as well as a diesel option. The petrol motor will be a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated one that makes 70PS and 102Nm. The diesel unit will be the same as the EcoSport, a 1.5-litre unit that pumps 90PS of power and makes 204Nm of torque.
Tata has given its popular SUV, the Safari Storme a mild update. On the outside the switches on the two thousand fifteen Safari Storme are restricted to the Land Rover inspired front grille; it`s the interiors that reflect a sea of switch. The quality has now improved thanks to which the cabin feels a lot more welcoming. The dashboard now gets a black-silver treatment but the centre console still looks a bit dated. Tata has fitted the facelifted Safari Storme with their fresh steering wheel like the one on the Bolt and the Zest. Under the fetish mask, the two thousand fifteen Safari Storme`s Two.2-litre mill makes slightly more power. It now makes 148PS as opposed to 140PS from the outgoing model. The torque rating resumes to be 320Nm. Tata is expected to launch the facelifted Safari Storme at Rs Ten.Five lakh.
Subsequent to the launch of the two thousand fifteen TT and the facelifted RS7 in April and May respectively and as part of the five launches planned, Audi will bring in the RS6 Avant to Indian shores on June Four. As the name suggests, the RS6 Avant is the spectacle version of its station wagon A6 Avant. And while station wagons aren`t indeed bred to produce spectacle, this one here is capable of touching the ton in just less than four seconds and record a top whack of 305kmph. And this, the RS6 Avant can achieve thanks to a Four.0-litre V8 unit that makes 560PS and 700Nm. The Audi RS6 Avant doesn`t fairly have a competition in the Indian market and is expected to be priced around Rs 1.Two crore.
After a long wait, Fiat has eventually determined to bring in the Abarth five hundred to our shores. A retuned and sportier version of the Fiat 500, the Abarth five hundred gets a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol unit that makes 137PS of power. A slightly more powerful version might go on sale as well, this one making 163PS. On the inwards, the Abarth five hundred proceeds to sport the same retro-modern styling. In the Indian market, the Abarth five hundred will go against the likes of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and the Volvo V40 hatchback, and will be priced around Rs twenty five lakh.
