Tata Nano vs New Alto 800 - Fight Again?

The latest news in the Indian cars market is the new Maruti Alto 800. This is the first time real revamping in the design of Alto for which Maruti is eagerly looking forward the sales figure to go high.

The New Alto 800 looks exactly like the mini A-star which was the coin  for capturing all the Maruti customers to go for the better alto.

Ok before calling Maruti Alto 800 as the better alto lets compare it with Alto K10. Ufff. Alto K10 beats Alto 800 in all aspects except that Alto 800 carries a new design. So what only the exterior is different interiors is again not so exciting. It gives you the same old feel of getting in to a Alto K10.

So which one is the right car to compare yes our Tata Nano LX (to make any car in the world superior we can just compare with nano) because no cars are sold @ a price as low as 2 Lacs.

Ok, the New alto 800 carries 3 cylinder engine with 798cc and goodness of 47.5bhp and 69nm support the engine like the older one. No significant change. Again Nano with 2 cylinder but with 612cc with 37bhp and 51nm is far behind the 800cc engine.

Ok! The price factor was also one of the factor putforth by maruti with Alto starting from 2.4Lacs and 3Lacs for the Higher end version. But nano is avalable from 1.6Lacs to 2 Lacs (Both are in ex-showroom).

On-road price for Maruti Alto will reach 3.5Lacs and Nano will be around 2.5Lacs nearly 1 Lac lesser than the new alto.

So there is a huge price difference and there is no difference in the engine specs. So again Alto doesnot compete with the Nano.

So for whom the redefinition happened? Is there any fight that Alto is expected to manage?

Yes, The real fight of Alto is with Eon!

Will be updating you soon with all details...

Cheers!!!

Top 3 Indian Diesel Hatchbacks

Well discussing about the top 3 hatchbacks in the country i included the top factors of Fuel efficiency, Power and Pricing.

The Third position goes to Tata Indica Vista.

Sedan Class is the advertising caption given for the all new Tata Indica vista. Yes! of course it is the right caption for it because of its excellent interior space which is an additional point which make the car to be in the third position a head of other competitors. The music system in the Tata Indica vista is also awesome with the 2-Din speakers gives the best in class music experience. The Engine performance and mileage need not be proved again since t

he already proved Fial 1300cc diesel engine was used also in the Tata Indica Vista. T

he Price is also leass when compared to the other company cars who fails to provide the features which Vista provides. So effortlessly Tata Indica Vista captures the third position with the only drawback of Tata's poor servicing quality.

The Second position goes to Ford Figo:

Ford Figo captures the second position not because of its power or mileage (since both disappoints slightly) when compared to most of it competitors. The Price is the main feature that attracts every one. The reason might be because of the old common rail engine, however we wont feel the old engine. One of the most decent car and the perfect choice of people who want everything from a car can go for it. The peppy colors and design adds more points to the car. Ford service quality is at the next level with excellent life time of the engine really its tough to beat the ford figo from the second position.

The First position goes to the All new Swift:

No body can disagree from the fact that swift is the no.1 hatch back car of India. with its extra ordinary mileage, power, stability at highspeeds, driving comfort, Peppy design which makes it the unbeatable leader, supported by the brand name maruti suzuki in India - what else an indian driver can think of. Believe me its really a small heaven in car. You need to feel it to understand. However one point defavors it - The price which is very high when compared to Figo which is in the second position. Also am not sure if we can get the car with in 2 months after booking. :(

Cheers!!!

13. Metallic colors + Flashy colors

No

Hope the Points mentioned above are clear to all. However I would like to give some clarity on some of the points mentioned above.

· Engine Capacity – Higher the engine capacity of cylinder higher the output power

· Compression ration and Power to weight ratio – more or less similar. Both specify the pulling power of the cars.

· Tyres: Nano has smaller tyres in the front which assures good turning radius and swifter driving in city traffic conditions. Also the broader the rear tyres ensure stability at high speeds. M800 has same set of tyres in front and back which would cause over steering very easily.

Conclusion: The points portrayed speak only about the points in which Nano beats M800; it doesn’t means that Nano is better than M800 in all means. In short, both are best in their own way.

Tata Nano - Not like the rest, to be honest best too...

Tata Nano - world's familiar car name for being the cheapest car in the world. The Euro ncap rating of 4 has added up overwhelming expectations too...

( it is to be noted that i10, swift also have rating of 4 and alto has just 3 in a scale of 5 for Euro ncap)

The Tata Nano carries a engine which is as small as that of a share auto in cities. it is just .2 litres smaller than Alto. so its right to compare it with the Alto.

Alto is a small car however Nano is a well built share auto says many. but its not so. Tata is very careful in building the car too but due to the cost efficiency limitation they cant build a better car rather than this.

it is also to be noted that alto has better length then nano however the width and height makes us to feel alto a cramped one.

also it is not worthy to compare alto with nano. so lets compare it with the premium commuter motorcycles say honda cbr250r, huh! that means stupid but should think of cbr250r with 5 seats and having a roof. cool hun! ( just for fun)

the real comparitive vehicle for nano is a 3 wheeler auto rickshaw which costs more than 1.5lacs same to nano. so what? nano gives you better deal for loans too!

The 35bhp and 48nm torque makes the car the best companion for beginners in indian city traffic, alto has 46bhp and 62nm torque.

My suggestion is Tata Nano is not the one which has to be neglected instead a masterpiece of technology at its best. Rather than criticising it stand in the neutral part and evaluate the car you will understand.

Hats off!!! TATA...

Maruti Suzuki Ritz - Indian Splash: Review

The Hot news in the Automobile market was the launch of Maruti's new variety of Hatch Back model - "RITZ".


The car design is itself more appealing and will be feast for eyes. Unlike the Hatch back cars which has a C-curve at the back, Ritz is modeled with a flat Hatch back not exactly like Wagon-R or like A-Star, more unique than the both.

The Car is large enough or more comfortable for a normal family.

Spacious interiors, Large Body, Luxurious suspensions are some of the Highlights of the Ritz.

Actually Ritz was the Indian version of Suzuki Splash, but due to some unavoidable reasons company has chosen the name "RITZ".

Specifications:

1. Engine Displacement: 1248cc
2. Output Power: 78bhp@4200rpm
3. Engine Torque: 165nm@1500rpm
4. Top Speed: 155 kmph
5. Gear: 5 speed
6. Fuel Tank: 45ltrs
7. A/C
8. Power windows
   

Pros:

1. Superior sports design
2. World class Engine with utmost performance
3. More spacious interiors
4. Lowered Air Spoilers

Cons:

1. Slightly over priced comparatively
2. Limited performance when compared to Splash
3. Poor in mileage

The Car will be featuring with not only spacious but more functional interiors (in terms of multimedia features) than its predecessors, so which will be more liked by the current generation.

The most comfortable news in that Maruti Suzuki Ritz will come in Petrol as well as Diesel Variants.
