Since we drove the car on regular roads in Leipzig, Germany, the cars were camouflaged. Our route took us through the city and then led us around the outskirts of the town, giving us a chance to experience the car under all manner of roads and conditions.<p></p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Porsche Panamera powertrain, specs</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The new Panamera is powered by a 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that's coupled with a more potent hybrid drive system. The Turbo E-Hybrid produces a stonking output of 680hp and a huge 930Nm of torque (combined), and 0-100kph takes a claimed 3.2 seconds.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The new E-Hybrid models now get a new, more powerful electric motor that is very different from earlier ones. It is now completely integrated into the new dual-clutch transmission bell housing and offers better regen capacity; increased by 35kW to 80kW. It also receives internal oil-cooling for added efficiency and recuperation efficiency. Energy storage for the plug-in hybrid system is provided by a battery with a higher capacity of 25.9kWh which returns an electric-only range of 93km.</p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Panamera hybrid performance </span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">A brief half an hour drive of the Panamera was all we got, but it was enough to illuminate the massive potential that this platform and the new hardware have. To begin with, there’s much more performance in EV-only mode, which should make it much more usable. Switch on the engine, by selecting any of the other modes, and it’s like awakening a monster, the Panamera pulling very strongly even on small throttle openings.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The combination of the electric motor and V8 is potent, drivability is outstanding; the strong initial tug of the electric motor seamlessly supplanted by a brawny twin-turbo V8. What’s even better is that power delivery always feels instant, very refined and predictable. With 1470Nm of torque and 843hp, the Mercedes AMG GT 63 S E Performance is 0.3 seconds faster to 100kph, but the Porsche feels like the more sorted and seamless unit.</p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Porsche Panamera active suspension </span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The third-generation Panamera uses a fully active suspension system with a single chamber air spring. This is done both for greater design simplicity as well as the fact that this active system is dynamically superior as it follows the contours and bumps in the road by exerting a force of its own on the road, as and when situations demand. This fundamentally changes dynamic handling as the system controls the car in pitch as well as in roll. It is so effective, the active suspension-equipped car has no anti-roll bars, simplifying the forces exerted further (anti-roll bars act as secondary springs when engaged).</p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Porsche Panamera ride and handling </span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">What adds to the dynamic character of the third-gen is that the steering feels very accurate and precise and the rear-wheel steering imparts the third-gen Panamera the agility of a much smaller car.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Porsche has also given drivers the option of slacking off the active suspension in Comfort. Switch to Active Tilt and Active Pitch control via a menu on the touchscreen and the car begins to float. Small imperfections in the road are ironed out silently and efficiently and even driving over the one or two bad patches we encountered proved just how effective is at faithfully making the wheels follow the contours of the road.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The system is so good it makes Porsche’s performance sedan ride like a luxury limo, albeit with a bit more roll. The true test, however, will come in our conditions, with larger holes, sharper ridges and more undulating and broken tarmac to contend with. However, even as things stand, Indian car buyers are sure to appreciate this system in our conditions.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">While we didn’t really get an opportunity to push the car and really enjoy the handling, what we clearly felt was greater agility, more compactness and a playful engaging demeanour.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Bring all the elements together, the potent hybrid powertrain, the greater agility and the more comfort-oriented chassis, and you have a Panamera that takes things to the next level. One thing’s for sure, Porsche isn’t holding back here.</p>SIENNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09860514371236312904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108660417071952692.post-8987981021831704692023-12-09T07:40:00.002+05:302023-12-09T07:40:42.352+05:30Hyundai Ioniq 5 N review: N-thusiasts assemble<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiVnsPkB2MBc3A-w3Y21uxhPCEjEru363Gd4cTCC7qtpi7t5BkdAMgJAYqOYSUuitapiw1pSxfahAOKWiHgxswfjMW42IEnZwqKP6bG12zX-PFWWdbyLe1pGF-0oJYQWPnjVJuRAE7gg4Fy9aXOywjs7XHvjLBzRgTj51-BH-bKzS8GoOrIDhQ3LJZPU8x/s1244/Screenshot%202023-12-09%20at%207.40.15%E2%80%AFAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="702" data-original-width="1244" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiVnsPkB2MBc3A-w3Y21uxhPCEjEru363Gd4cTCC7qtpi7t5BkdAMgJAYqOYSUuitapiw1pSxfahAOKWiHgxswfjMW42IEnZwqKP6bG12zX-PFWWdbyLe1pGF-0oJYQWPnjVJuRAE7gg4Fy9aXOywjs7XHvjLBzRgTj51-BH-bKzS8GoOrIDhQ3LJZPU8x/s320/Screenshot%202023-12-09%20at%207.40.15%E2%80%AFAM.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px;">The Ioniq 5 N is a car you’d wish Hyundai would bring to India. A proper N car with 650hp in boost mode, a stiffened chassis, redone suspension, smart torque distribution, and a whole host of fun features and never-seen-before EV tricks, many of which actually work pretty well. So what’s it like? </span><p></p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Hyundai Ioniq 5 N performance</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Performance EVs are quick. You are normally drop-kicked off the line, SLAAM, and then, while that initial burst tapers off, the car still carries on pulling hard. This is sort of true here as well. Only, when you are catapulted forward by motors on each axle, four big sticky tyres and upwards of 760Nm, hitting the right pedal feels like going to the chiropractor... it straightens your back in an instant – snap! And as long as you are ready for it, it feels great. What’s the claimed 0-100kph time? How’s 3.4 seconds? And while the initial punch tappers off, I’d love to see what the 0-40kph or the 0-60kph times are. I’m sure few ICE cars can keep up, especially when you engage the launch control. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Eco mode – yes, there is one – is also great for everyday driving. The N division (named after <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Hyundai</strong>’s R&D centre in Namyang, South Korea) says one of the objectives is that it has to be an everyday sportscar. Set it in Eco and it really does calm down nicely, delivering linear bursts of acceleration and even strong bursts of power as and when you need it. And since the throttle isn’t trigger happy and much more progressive, you can drive it without getting a neck ache. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;"><br /></p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">What makes ICE cars more fun? The gearshifts, the exhaust noise, rev-matching on downshifts, pops and bangs from the throttle on overrun... the Ioniq 5 N has all these. No, seriously. Of course, the systems are fake or simulated. The thing is, they work so well and are so convincing they actually add more driving pleasure. And these apart, you can adjust regular motor response, steering weight, damper stiffness, stability control sensitivity and diff lock settings.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">First up, the exhaust noise. Yeah sure, it’s simulated, and you can tell, but the thing is, it’s been synced so well with the right pedal that after a bit, you forget it’s fake and actually begin to enjoy it. It’s actually much nicer than any synthesised <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Star Wars</em> spacecraft sound – this actually feels natural. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">What adds to ‘tactile’ driving pleasure, and I’m smiling here, are the fake gearshifts. Yeah, that too! Pull the right paddle and this EV goes up a gear. And it does a proper simulation. There’s a bit of a pause as you hit the right paddle, the engine noise drops in perfect sync, and then as the car ‘engages the next gear’, it gets back on the power and pulls forward again. It actually does feel like you’ve gone to a higher gear. Even better are the downshifts. Pull the left paddle and it even feels like the car has gone to a lower gear. What makes it so convincing is that Hyundai’s N division has used regen to mimic the mechanical drag created when you execute a downshift, and when you approach a corner, this even helps slow the car down nicely and stabilise it. While it isn’t perfect, it does such a convincing job that after some time, you just begin to enjoy the experience and roll with it. Even better, switch the fake exhaust sound off and you’ll immediately want it back on. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;"><br /></p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">So what does it sound like? Here’s the clever part; while the guys and gals at N could have chosen any soundtrack – from a big, hairy-chested V8 one to a howling V12, or even a snarly V6 – they’ve chosen to make it sound like a regular four-cylinder with a mild exhaust on it. So it sounds fruity, fun and not over-the-top. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">You can even change the torque distribution front to rear, and there’s a ‘drift optimiser’ mode for doughnuts and drifts; but we didn’t get to try that on Korea’s sanitised roads.</p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Hyundai Ioniq 5 N ride and handling</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Country roads, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">ghat</em> sections, mountain passes – that’s where this hot-hatch, or super hatch, wants to be driven and that is what its suspension is optimised for. Yes, it weighs 2.2 tonnes and it rides higher off the tarmac than it ideally should, but load up the suspension, get the chassis nicely warmed up, and boy oh boy, does it bring the smiles out! The N division says it’s tuned to be a corner rascal, and it is. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The brakes, and the regen, of course, together work fabulously. You can brake hard into corners and turn in crisply as you roll off the brakes. The steering delivers some real feel and get back on the throttle, complete with exhaust noise streaming in, and what you have is a genuine hot-hatch driving experience. Yes, it rolls a bit more than you expect; when you brake, the nose dives in marginally and throttle responses are a bit too snappy and sudden as you apply power on the way out of a corner, but what makes you forget all that, however, is just how playful and keen it is to attack corners. It also has a lot of grip with 275/35 R21 Pirelli P Zeros at each corner, and what evens things up is that the rear motor pushes out much more power than the one at the front.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The ride, however, is a bit too stiff. Some of the roads we drove on were far from perfect (good for simulating our roads though) and the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Ioniq 5</strong> N does really toss you around. The suspension feels a bit too reactive over big bumps and dips, and if you go over sharp-edged manhole covers and it isn’t too happy either. </p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Hyundai Ioniq 5 N interior</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Imagine if you will the perfect hot-hatch cabin. Racing bucket seats (or what look like them) lined in high quality suede or Alcantara, with tall headrest and metallic inserts. A steering wheel covered in matching materials, festooned with shortcut buttons and dials, with big chrome paddle shifters behind. A padded dash, a big N on the steering boss, all finished in black and five shades of grey, with splashes of colour thrown in. Yes, if you are a driving enthusiast and hot-hatch fan, you’ll love the cabin. It’s also very comfortable over long drives, the theatre seating at the rear hits the spot – it is wide and roomy as well. There’s no sunroof, but boot space is good so it’s sort of practical too; just like a hot-hatch usually is. </p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Hyundai Ioniq 5 N verdict</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Wouldn’t it be great to have an electric performance car or hot-hatch? Plug it in at home, pay almost nothing for the electricity, and then go out and really juice it. The running costs will be nothing. And you can go out and drive it hard every day. So, while the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Ioniq 5 N</strong> isn’t really slated to come to India anytime soon, no one has said anything about future N electric cars. Electric N Line models with a bit more power and handling, and full-fledged N versions of Hyundai’s upcoming range of locally produced electric cars could shake up the market. Come to think of it, the N division could prove to be a real differentiator, a USP, something most rivals don’t have. And that could make all the difference. </p>SIENNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09860514371236312904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108660417071952692.post-5506910892295481492023-12-09T07:36:00.004+05:302023-12-09T07:36:53.372+05:30Range Rover Velar facelift review: Modern Minimalist<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgua9bEzGb6TEJND6W0D7fa-b0qQDuKg_5Aizg3-3OOjdYc6NhYBcqFXTzSRWJVG4HWR0oOX7dkXyxRoG1A2GkoVQWhT0dOOCzXtupgJi86cf7H3tQVYDKYxZOttxPLl-dg3WMoLa4TROgaE3TzL3_UICxHnqYvo_r9yvmI7vNPSqOpDa6uIwR2THsYYuqP/s1076/Screenshot%202023-12-09%20at%207.36.01%E2%80%AFAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="702" data-original-width="1076" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgua9bEzGb6TEJND6W0D7fa-b0qQDuKg_5Aizg3-3OOjdYc6NhYBcqFXTzSRWJVG4HWR0oOX7dkXyxRoG1A2GkoVQWhT0dOOCzXtupgJi86cf7H3tQVYDKYxZOttxPLl-dg3WMoLa4TROgaE3TzL3_UICxHnqYvo_r9yvmI7vNPSqOpDa6uIwR2THsYYuqP/s320/Screenshot%202023-12-09%20at%207.36.01%E2%80%AFAM.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />When Velar first broke cover in 2017, we called it one of the sexiest SUVs around, and that holds true even today. Its makers too think the same way, and so changes to the 2023 Range Rover Velar are limited to small styling tweaks. <p></p><div><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">There’s a new grille design on the Velar and slim LED pixel lamps replace the matrix LEDs with a new DRL signature. Headlamp washers are gone, and the bonnet gets a new trim element similar to the ones on the sides. The alloys are new, the rear bumper has been tweaked and the reflectors are now horizontal instead of vertical. They are small differences but it is still a handsome car. </p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Range Rover Velar facelift interior and features updates</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The more significant change, however, is on the inside, where the look has gone very minimalistic. The terrain responsive rotary dial selector is gone from the central console, and only the gear selector remains. All controls have moved to the 11.4-inch curved dashboard display. The graphics are crisp, and the UI intuitive to use, and thanks to the curve, the screen's visibility is always good with no glare, even with the sunroof open. However, changing the fan speed or using the climate control requires looking away and running through a menu; it is the same for the terrain response as well. And speaking of the screen, there’s now wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">In terms of features, there’s a 360-degree camera with an under-bonnet view, handy for off-roading or navigating potholes. There’s 20-way massage front seats, a power recline for the rear seats, an air purifier, wireless charging, a Meridian sound system, a powered tailgate, a panoramic sunroof and four-zone climate control. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Seating at the front and rear is comfy with ample legroom on offer. While the seats are well-cushioned, they are not the theatre style of bigger Range Rovers. You also sit lower and while that offers good headroom, the window line feels higher and the window area is small. Luckily, the panoramic roof extending over the rear seat makes it feel airy. On the move, the insides are also very hushed and serene. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;"><br /></p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">While the car's width comfortably allows three passengers at the rear, the seat contouring is more suited for two. Plus, with the high tunnel and console coming way back into the rear, there is no leg room for the third passenger.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Boot space isn't the best for an SUV of this size, but the Velar offers the flexibility of split-folding rear seats. What is an advantage, though, is that it comes with a standard full-size spare.</p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Range Rover Velar facelift performance, ride and handling</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">For India, the Velar comes with the 2.0-litre Ingenium petrol and diesel engines. The petrol produces 250hp and 365Nm and can hit 100kph in 7.5 seconds, while the diesel produces 204hp and 430Nm. It also has a mild-hybrid system and pulls up the 0-100kph dash in 8.3 seconds. Both engines are mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">For our test drive, we had the diesel, which has enough power, but there is some lag, and up to 1,800 rpm, the needle moves slowly. After that, there is a surge of power and it’s all smooth sailing. However, that surge, combined with the snappy gearbox, means a certain amount of jerkiness driving slowly in traffic. You need to keep the engine above 2,000rpm and from there, it builds up power nicely and settles into cruising speeds comfortably. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The auto box shifts up early, so you often find yourself in higher gears and for a quick overtake, you require a tug on the paddles as the gearbox is a bit lazy. To counter that, one can either shift into Sport or Dynamic mode and suddenly, the Velar feels energetic and responsive. Dynamic mode has other advantages, too. It keeps the Velar more settled overall on uneven roads without feeling too firm. Comfort mode softens the ride and keeps the passengers cushy at low speeds, but even a little build-up in pace makes it roll and pitch on bad roads. Dynamic mode feels better, keeping the Velar hunkered down to the road nicely. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">While the ride quality is very comfortable, it will thud through the larger potholes, so don't expect the plushness of the bigger Range Rovers that make the road surface feel like glass. Meanwhile, the Velar’s air suspension can lower the car by 10mm for easy ingress and egress, and for off-roading, you can raise the car by 25mm over the normal height. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The Velar was built to be one of the brand’s more road-focused SUVs, and it does feel confident and surefooted. The steering also weighs up well around corners but is not sharp or involving, and the Velar is more suited to long-distance cruising than hustling around corners. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Now, while this Range Rover claims to be more road-focused, it can do a fair bit of off-roading too, and with different modes, you can tackle snowy roads with ease if you live up north. And for the rest of us, the 600mm wading depth is a plus to tackle any monsoon flood. </p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Range Rover Velar price, verdict</span></h2></div><div><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.2px;">JLR has priced both the petrol and diesel versions at an identical Rs 94.3 lakh, and that puts it just slightly under rivals like the Mercedes-Benz GLE and the BMW X5. But these cars have lifted the game so the Velar now has a tougher playing field, one in which its tough build and comfortable and minimalist interior will have to grab customers’ attention. And if all of that is not enough, Range Rover is banking on that heart-tugging design to keep it in the fray. </span></span></div><div class="ArticleImage" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; text-align: center;"></div>SIENNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09860514371236312904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108660417071952692.post-26826426476783558802023-12-09T07:32:00.003+05:302023-12-09T07:32:28.496+05:30Jawa Yezdi Announces Service Camp For Bike Owners in Kerala<p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgokEXgmfvQGvozNEa_b6AcJioPmzRUsPwnDcn153t4TjXBkAYFugKzIb7Bo9A87kejbk2sN_NwGT3Pjv45epO-r-Zn4g9WXg_6AT-JpCeRGQWoog1tYgkJ3ArTIXIBT2xowXaUg6TeJHVOderX6C9cDokXfd6WlrZVNH0vD8o9yOIHaxJH8rHJ8Z7MpIVu/s1336/Screenshot%202023-12-09%20at%207.31.56%E2%80%AFAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><img border="0" data-original-height="852" data-original-width="1336" height="204" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgokEXgmfvQGvozNEa_b6AcJioPmzRUsPwnDcn153t4TjXBkAYFugKzIb7Bo9A87kejbk2sN_NwGT3Pjv45epO-r-Zn4g9WXg_6AT-JpCeRGQWoog1tYgkJ3ArTIXIBT2xowXaUg6TeJHVOderX6C9cDokXfd6WlrZVNH0vD8o9yOIHaxJH8rHJ8Z7MpIVu/s320/Screenshot%202023-12-09%20at%207.31.56%E2%80%AFAM.png" width="320" /></span></span></a></div><span style="background-color: white;"><br />Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles has announced a service camp exclusively for the owners of Jawa and Yezdi bikes sold between 2019-20.

Only six units of this exclusive Superveloce Arsham will be produced. <p></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Arsham is known for his signature "fictional archaeology" aesthetic that makes architectural and sculptural artworks appear aged and eroded over time. He employs a monochrome colour palette, often white, and textured detailing to achieve this effect.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The Superveloce Arsham features Arsham's characteristic approach throughout the bike's design. A white colour scheme is applied to the entire Superveloce frame, bodywork, wheels and accessories. The side fairings, tail section, and seat cowl incorporate Arsham's erosion technique with irregular patterns made to resemble weathered stone textures. <br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The limited edition retains the same running gear as the standard Superveloce 800. Powering the bike is a 798cc inline-triple engine producing 144 bhp and 88 Nm. Also included are high-end suspension components from Marzocchi and Sachs, Brembo brakes, and Continental ABS.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The bike represents MV Agusta's art motorcycle projects where exclusive limited editions are crafted through collaborations between the brand and world-famous contemporary artists.

The two millionth vehicle to leave the production line was the new-generation Porsche Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid that made its global debut a few days ago. The four-door coupe finished in the Madeira Gold Metallic paint scheme is heading to its new owner in Dubai. </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--fsize-regular); line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--fsize-regular); line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">The Leipzig plant in Germany began operations in 2002 as an assembly plant but production began in 2009 with the Panamera. The facility was transformed into a modern manufacturing unit in 2016 with the arrival of the second-generation Panamera after Porsche integrated paint shop and body production units as well. </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--fsize-regular); line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--fsize-regular); line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">“The success story of our Leipzig location is closely linked to the Panamera,” said, Gerd Rupp, Chairman of the Management Board of Porsche Leipzig GmbH. “Like the location itself, the model represents growth and change. The expansion to a full factory was a groundbreaking decision for the site. As a full factory, we manufacture models in their entirety, from the construction of the body to the final assembly. This has laid the foundation for new car projects and continued growth.” </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--fsize-regular); line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The Porsche Leipzig factory has been a growth driver not only for the automaker but the central German region as well. The plant boasts a workforce of over 4,400 employees while the facility has been upgraded to produce all types of current and future vehicles including internal combustion, hybrid and electric, from the same assembly line. </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Gerd Rupp further added, “Our employees are our biggest success factor. Without the commitment of our team, there were many challenges we wouldn’t have been able to master.”</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The all-new Panamera gets comprehensive upgrades including new powertrain options, evolutionary styling and more tech in the cabin. The automaker though will only retail the sedan version of the Panamera, while the Panamera Sport Turismo wagon has been discontinued with the latest generation. India prices for the new Panamera have been revealed with the range starting from Rs. 1.68 crore (ex-showroom). That said, India only gets the V6-powered options, while the Turbo Hybrid variants won’t be making it to our market.</span></p><div><br /></div></div></div>SIENNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09860514371236312904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108660417071952692.post-90230984362630009442023-12-09T07:21:00.001+05:302023-12-09T07:21:01.759+05:302024 Skoda Enyaq Lineup Revealed With More Power, Greater Range<p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfTWGE2GYCCVEcYrcun9zYOr4pJy1KOIMj2BW011-NdJHQ55eBIgYijXPFoOzWGnH3_oGsUOG6A67QxgDhINvhdc9jrFMtxoy5Rc2ZATiOnIcnNJQMNFGJ_zSwOxR4TDP9-Eoi8F1Jrp5eoNuy9klyH4-N2r4mnxYe9pj6V06qdfS4lCYt4kuGtThWctt/s1534/Screenshot%202023-12-09%20at%207.20.30%E2%80%AFAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="774" data-original-width="1534" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfTWGE2GYCCVEcYrcun9zYOr4pJy1KOIMj2BW011-NdJHQ55eBIgYijXPFoOzWGnH3_oGsUOG6A67QxgDhINvhdc9jrFMtxoy5Rc2ZATiOnIcnNJQMNFGJ_zSwOxR4TDP9-Eoi8F1Jrp5eoNuy9klyH4-N2r4mnxYe9pj6V06qdfS4lCYt4kuGtThWctt/s320/Screenshot%202023-12-09%20at%207.20.30%E2%80%AFAM.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />Skoda Auto has announced an extensive overhaul for its Enyaq electric vehicle family for the 2024 model year. Among the major updates is the introduction of a new Laurin & Klement trim line along with updates to the running gear to improve range, shorten charging times and increase power output.<p></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The 2024 Enyaq lineup receives substantial enhancements in power and efficiency with the previously offered Enyaq 80 replaced by new Enyaq 85 variants. A revamped rear axle motor, coupled with an upgraded voltage converter increases the performance of the new Enyaq 85 and 85x models. Both develop 281 bhp (210 kW) of power - a significant increase of 80 bhp (60 kW) compared to the previous Enyaq 80 and 15 kW more than the previous Enyaq 80x variants. The RS models now have 335 bhp (250 kW), which is 40 bhp (30 kW) more than the previous version. Moreover, maximum torque has been increased to 545 Nm.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The new Enyaq 85 clocks 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds, nearly two seconds faster than its predecessor.

Ahead of its official debut, the new subcompact SUV’s brochure has leaked online, revealing details about the SUV’s variants, specifications, and features. According to the leaked brochure, the Sonet will continue to be offered in seven variants - HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+, GTX+ and X-Line.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--fsize-regular); line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--fsize-regular); line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--fsize-regular); line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">Judging by the official teaser videos, visually, the Kia Sonet facelift will come with updated styling. This includes a refreshed grille, a new headlamp cluster with LED lighting, and an updated rear section, which now comes with connected LED taillamps similar to the Seltos. </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--fsize-regular); line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: var(--fsize-regular); line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Additionally, the Sonet will be offered in a total of 11 colour options, including the new Pewter Olive shade which was first introduced with the Seltos facelift. The leaked brochure also reveals that depending on the variant, the Sonet will get the option of three new 16-inch alloy wheel designs.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"> <span style="font-family: var(--font-base);">Like before the Sonet will also continue to be offered in three main trims – Tech Line, GT Line and X-Line, featuring the same 1.2-litre petrol, a 1.0-litre Turbo Petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine options. Mechanically all three engines remain unchanged offering the same output. So, while the 1.2-litre petrol will come with a 5-speed manual as standard, the 1.0-litre GDI will get a 6-speed iMT and a 7-speed DCT automatic. On the other hand, the 1.5-litre diesel unit will come with a 6-speed iMT, and 6-speed automatic. Kia will also bring back the 6-speed manual option for the diesel model which was earlier discontinued.</span></span></p></div></div>SIENNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09860514371236312904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108660417071952692.post-27927423805784530692023-12-09T07:16:00.004+05:302023-12-09T07:16:49.374+05:30Mahindra Launches Relief Measures For Cyclone Michaung Affected SUV Owners<p><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtdIFtuHsPbm0EJxFa3YdCQHPQqZb_cODrL0QEP71-Kmzt5JgK-ysxUIU04N9x8n800hrDtNZ3PQRgyDjWK6FOTOmXGUrZbyQvnECMl58URaG-Jb0HnpmI1WdLPQoEZZFbjb0noTUd0Ti5eX1CaETtjX0wU-yF_Qq2fgyPA7svfHegN2VdiOLUiSoYv8La/s1534/Screenshot%202023-12-09%20at%207.16.08%E2%80%AFAM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="774" data-original-width="1534" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtdIFtuHsPbm0EJxFa3YdCQHPQqZb_cODrL0QEP71-Kmzt5JgK-ysxUIU04N9x8n800hrDtNZ3PQRgyDjWK6FOTOmXGUrZbyQvnECMl58URaG-Jb0HnpmI1WdLPQoEZZFbjb0noTUd0Ti5eX1CaETtjX0wU-yF_Qq2fgyPA7svfHegN2VdiOLUiSoYv8La/s320/Screenshot%202023-12-09%20at%207.16.08%E2%80%AFAM.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />The measures will remain in place till December 31, 2023<p></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">In response to the devastating Cyclone Michaung which affected large sections of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, Mahindra has rolled out complimentary aftersales initiatives to help adversely affected owners.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Mahindra has announced an extensive support program, offering complimentary Roadside Assistance (RSA) to tow affected vehicles to the nearest Mahindra-authorised workshop.

Despite heavy camouflage, some distinct changes are evident such as the reshaped headlights, which seem to sit lower down on the fascia. While the shape of the new units are hard to tell, the design is likely to be inspired by Kia’s recent string of electric vehicles from the EV series.<p></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">While the sides reveal minimal alterations apart from a new wheel design, the rear end changes remain concealed, with expected updates to include a redesigned bumper, tweaks to the tailgate and updates to the tail light cluster. </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">The mid-cycle facelift could also receive updates to the cabin which could include a redesigned dashboard in line with its newer siblings.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /> </span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Ubuntu; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Built on the Hyundai Group's E-GMP architecture, the EV6 is anticipated to retain the 77.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack, offering a range of up to 498 Km based on EPA standards.

"It’s a given, EVs will see a deflationary trend. So, there is a breakpoint at some stage that you are going to see," said Chandra.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">There are several reasons why battery prices are going down. It's primarily the LFP battery packs – <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/tata" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007bff; text-decoration-line: none;">Tata Motors</a></strong> uses LFP, while <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/mahindra" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007bff; text-decoration-line: none;">Mahindra</a></strong> uses NMC – that are becoming more affordable, due to declining raw material costs. This is due to both, a significant increase in lithium production capacity as well as the slowing growth rate of EVs across the globe.</p><div class="padding_top_5 padding_bottom_5" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; padding-bottom: 5px !important; padding-top: 5px !important;"><center style="box-sizing: border-box;"></center></div><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The cost of an electric vehicle over a conventional ICE-powered car is still about 25-35 percent higher due to significant import content and high battery cost. For instance, top-spec variants of the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/tata/nexon" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007bff; text-decoration-line: none;">Nexon</a></strong> and <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/tata/nexon-ev" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007bff; text-decoration-line: none;">Nexon EV</a></strong> are priced at Rs 15.50 lakh and Rs 19.94 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively, which is roughly a difference of about 30 percent.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Chandra believes that with GST at 5 percent, benefit of falling battery cost and benefits accrued out of the government's production linked incentive (PLI) scheme, the company will not only be able to price its products competitively but the EV business will also start generating profits.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">In Tata Motors' portfolio, models such as the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/tata/tiago-ev" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007bff; text-decoration-line: none;">Tiago</a></strong> and <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/tata/tigor-ev" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007bff; text-decoration-line: none;">Tigor EVs</a></strong> have a real-world range of about 200km, and the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/tata-punch-ev-to-borrow-1025-inch-infotainment-screen-steering-wheel-from-nexon-facelift-429291" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007bff; text-decoration-line: none;">upcoming Punch EV</a></strong> could also offer a similar range.

Considering all the nations that have signed up to be net carbon zero, he said, “there is no choice, it is only a matter of how fast the transition is going to happen.”<p></p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Having led the development of the electric car market in India over the last five years, Chandra says that “forecasting for new technology is very difficult to predict,” when it comes to penetration, hence it is up to companies to fix targets and work on it.</p><div class="padding_top_5 padding_bottom_5" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; padding-bottom: 5px !important; padding-top: 5px !important;"><center style="box-sizing: border-box;"></center></div><ol style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Tata Motors aims to be net carbon zero by 2040</strong></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Tata EVs account for 15-16 percent of total sales</strong></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">EV market still growing globally and in India</strong></li></ol><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">As Tata Motors' Chandra explained, “If we have to be net carbon zero by 2070 as a nation then all actions have to start now. We, as a company, have taken (a target) of 2040 to be net carbon zero. I know that if we are not at 50 percent level at Tata Motors, I am not on my path. We are very clear that we will be 50 percent by 2030 as a company, and do everything to bring all ecosystem players together to work towards that kind of target.”</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">India, which is the third largest market in the world today, has a penetration of 2 percent for EVs, but Tata Motors has already seen EVs accounting for 15-16 percent of its total sales, and about 20 percent of its total revenues. “We are very confident with all the models that you know we are going to launch, we are absolutely on the path of hitting 50 percent,” assured Chandra.</p><div class="padding_top_5 padding_bottom_5" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; padding-bottom: 5px !important; padding-top: 5px !important;"><center style="box-sizing: border-box;"></center></div><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The emphatic assertion comes at a time, when the overall electric vehicle market has hit a speed bump. Even in India, the transition from the old Nexon EV to the new <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://www.autocarindia.com/car-news/tata-nexon-ev-facelift-launched-at-rs-1474-lakh-429292" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #007bff; text-decoration-line: none;">Nexon EV</a></strong> led to some correction in the July to September 2023 quarter.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Chandra admitted that he has been “intrigued” at the “flurry of articles on gloom and doom around EVs”. He said his fact checked data showed a different picture. He said that in the first nine months of 2023, the BEV market worldwide has grown by 33 percent on a strong base. Key markets like China (26 percent), the top five markets in Europe (40 percent) and the US (64 percent) have seen strong double-digit growth.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">“The fact is EVs are growing at a pace, one can always question the pace of growth at which one was expecting, as there has been a steep growth curve so far. When you compare it with 100 percent growth, there is a slight slowdown, because of local factors,” said Chandra.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">To be sure, the US market is witnessing economic uncertainty and high interest rates, so there is a slowdown and due to forecasting error, there is a stock build-up. In Germany, one of the biggest markets in Europe, the subsidy has been reduced, hence there is a slowdown. Meanwhile, China is in a consolidation phase, post subsidy reduction.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">As far as India goes, Chandra informed, that in the first half of this financial year, the car market has grown by 107 percent and <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Tata Motors</strong> too has grown over 76 percent. If anything, the market has started witnessing more action from rivals, which was very evident in high volumes seen Q1. Players like <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Mahindra</strong>, <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Stellantis</strong> and <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">MG</strong> were filling up the channels with stock in Q1, and then which stabilised in Q2. This should not be seen negatively.</p>SIENNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09860514371236312904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108660417071952692.post-17833798157859659612023-11-30T16:41:00.003+05:302023-11-30T16:41:48.566+05:30Mercedes Benz Classic Car Rally 2023: Route map and spectator guide<span style="background-color: white; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMNiwoWCKB-_oHGmolcAVZq_E3_hYnHY_q8uZWwOztKTI4KYpc1z6Y6P7gu9GdoAPeWvO9FLjLYrJ48EBHPLBuc_tv9WD_G4iu-LcgixGAk-ddxC0bpZCaCnVDLmGWoIAljhS4igIg4YnMMav8CRvpOPJFZuCqfuQ44d1M3znKtFoMenWoWQfPhLSeWzlv/s1074/Screenshot%202023-11-30%20at%204.41.08%E2%80%AFPM.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="774" data-original-width="1074" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMNiwoWCKB-_oHGmolcAVZq_E3_hYnHY_q8uZWwOztKTI4KYpc1z6Y6P7gu9GdoAPeWvO9FLjLYrJ48EBHPLBuc_tv9WD_G4iu-LcgixGAk-ddxC0bpZCaCnVDLmGWoIAljhS4igIg4YnMMav8CRvpOPJFZuCqfuQ44d1M3znKtFoMenWoWQfPhLSeWzlv/s320/Screenshot%202023-11-30%20at%204.41.08%E2%80%AFPM.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />The 10th edition of the Mercedes-Benz Classic Car Rally (MBCCR) will take place on the first weekend of December 2023, in Mumbai.

First came the four-door sedan in 2017, then the two-door coupe in 2019, and now it’s back in an all-new four-door sedan avatar. Unlike the previous iterations that were powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine, this new C 43 is powered by a downsized 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine.</p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Mercedes-AMG C 43 performance</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The heart of the matter is its AMG-developed 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine codenamed M139l (l stands for longitudinal installation), manufactured at Affalterbach, in accordance with the ‘One Man One Engine’ principle. And the company says they have carried over some technologies developed by the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team to further enhance its performance. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">A key F1-derived tech is the electric-exhaust gas turbocharger. It features a small electric motor integrated into the turbocharger, which spools up the turbo even before the exhaust gases build boost, thus eliminating turbo lag. There’s also a 48V mild-hybrid system that feeds the belt-driven starter generator providing a momentary boost of 14hp under heavy load. What all this results in is a very crisp power delivery and a strong seamless and exciting build-up of speed. It pulls relentlessly even post 5,000rpm, and revs till the magical 7,000rpm mark.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The only downside is that even when this four-cylinder engine is on song, you will miss the visceral sound experience of its six-cylinder rivals or even its predecessor. You could blame environmental regulations for muting this engine even further, however, to rectify this and enhance the aural experience (to some extent), Mercedes has put a mic into the exhaust system which picks up the tone and plays it through the speakers in real time. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Transmission duties are handled by a 9-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. When you are driving in a spirited manner, this transmission will thrill you with its quickness and eagerness. However, at city speeds, it isn’t the smoothest and downshifts can occasionally feel jerky.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The mild-hybrid system also features automatic engine stop-start tech, which turns off the engine even before coming to a complete halt. Annoyingly, if you happen to turn this feature off, and switch from Sport or Sport Plus drive mode to Comfort mode, it automatically turns back on. Another quirk is its hypersensitive ‘automatic brake assist’ function, which you will have to religiously turn off each time you start your drive, as it slams on to the brakes very aggressively, even in scenarios you would otherwise be far gentler on the brakes to reduce speed.</p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Mercedes-AMG C 43 ride and handling</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The 4Matic in its name represents a rear-biased, full-time all-wheel-drive system, which transmits 31 percent of the torque to the front and 69 percent to the rear wheels. One key highlight of the C 43 is its rear-axle steering, which turns the rear wheels up to 2.5 degrees either in the direction of the front wheels or in the opposite direction, depending on the speed. And at low speeds, this all-wheel steering makes it very manoeuvrable, especially while taking U-turns. But the rear-axle steering truly shines when you are attacking corners, not only making the C 43 handle like a smaller, nimbler car but also by masking its 1.8-tonne kerb weight very effectively. You might still feel its weight around a race track, but on your favourite winding sections of road, you will appreciate the grace and poise with which it changes directions, as well as the astonishing levels of grip on offer. Even its steering impresses with its crispness and sharpness.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The car rides on steel springs and adaptive dampers with three damping settings (which you can configure, irrespective of the drive mode) – Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus. To experience the best of both worlds, dial it to the Sport damping setting at all times; it eliminates the side-to-side rocking movements, which are noticeable in Comfort and doesn’t feel as hardcore as the Sport Plus setting. What’s nice is that while the suspension setup feels much firmer than the C-Class sedan, it doesn’t feel overly stiff or bone-jarring, and does not rattle your spine should you accidentally happen to crash into a pothole.</p><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Mercedes-AMG C 43 exterior design, interior</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Like the C-Class sedan it is based on, the new C 43 is a handsome sedan. In line with its sporty character, the C 43 gets the AMG-specific Panamericana front grille and a racy body kit. Especially attractive are its 19-inch multi-spoke alloys, however, with slim 40-profile tyres, you will need to tackle potholes with utmost care. Quad exhaust tips spruce up its rear profile.</p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The interiors are similar to the C-Class, however, the AMG iteration features an all-black cabin, red seat belts and a faux carbon-fibre panel. To enhance its sportiness quotient further, it gets body-hugging bucket seats with firmer cushioning and an AMG steering, both of which are draped in a mix of leather and Alcantara.</p><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.2px;">The steering also features quick access shortcut buttons to change the drive modes (on the right) as well as other key functions to change the setting for exhaust and suspension, among other things. It carries forward the 11.9-inch LCD instrument cluster, however, it now has some AMG-specific displays, and its 12.3-inch touchscreen also features useful telemetry which records multiple parameters, particularly useful to hone driver skills around a race track. </span></div><div><h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Catamaran, Roboto, sans-serif !important; letter-spacing: 0.4px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0.5rem; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: red;">Mercedes-AMG C 43 price, verdict</span></h2><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">The Mercedes-AMG C 43 4Matic drives brilliantly and its downsized four-cylinder 2.0-litre engine is extremely potent and punches well above its weight. What’s also neat is that the car is thoroughly modern and packs in some neat cutting-edge tech. </p><p class="new-pare-p" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #272222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.2px; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px;">Mercedes is asking a sizeable <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Rs 98 lakh for the C 43</strong>. Yes, it is an import, but so is the <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Audi S5</strong>, which is Rs 23 lakh more affordable, while the locally assembled <strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">BMW M340i</strong> is Rs 27 lakh cheaper. And its rivals get larger 6-cylinder engines with similar performance and sound much nicer. But out on the road, the C 43 puts up a much better fight, and once behind the wheel, you’ll forget about the deficit in cylinders and possibly the surplus cash you’ve splurged. So if you’re lucky enough to be in the market for a sports sedan, the C 43 deserves some attention. </p></div>SIENNAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09860514371236312904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8108660417071952692.post-38861749682977364522023-05-11T15:58:00.005+05:302023-08-01T15:18:52.191+05:30 Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Price Hike: A Closer Look at the Impact <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0.0001">
