HYNDAI AVANTE

Tuesday, November 9, 2010


HYNDAI AWNT








Hyundai India is all set to launch another global model - Avante - in Indian market. It is a D segment car which is sold as Elantra in other markets, but in India Elantra has been a major flop so Hyundai is expected to launch it as Avante.

Avante offers an excellent choice for drivers who need a compact car with an economic frame of mind in a handsome body with good lines and an eye toward style.






Hyundai's sedan is currently in its fifth generation, and thisElantra (Avante) is the best ever. The impressive exterior styling, with its clean lines and sculpted body sides, borrows design characteristics from the larger and more expensive high end sedans.

It is a more spacious sedan model than its previous incarnation, it can seat up to five passengers and has storage compartments galore.

"The new Hyundai Avante encompasses Hyundai's latest ambitions, featuring the best styling and performance in its class," Steve S. Yang, President & CEO of Hyundai's Global Business Division, said at the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center (BEXCO) today. "We're confident that it will once again redefine the compact segment worldwide."

With sportier and even more elegant lines than its predecessor, the new Hyundai Avante - badged as Elantra in markets outside Korea - continues Hyundai's 'fluidic sculpture' design philosophy.

Hyundai has applied its latest 1.6L Gamma Gasoline Direct Injection engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission to the front-wheel drive compact, the first time GDI and six-speed automatic have been featured on a compact sedan in Korea. The new Avante delivers a peak output of 140ps and maximum torque of 17.0kg•m. It is also about 10 percent more fuel efficient than its closest competitors, thanks to GDI, the six speed automatic and other fuel economy enhancements.

The new Hyundai Avante will delight and surprise with a raft of other advanced features not found on other compacts, including HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlamps, LED combination lamps in the rear, heated rear seats, puddle lamps and a color TFT LCD information display nestled in the gauge cluster.



Under the Avante/Elantra badge, Hyundai has sold over 6 million units worldwide since the car's launch in 1990. Hyundai will begin sales of the all-new Hyundai Avante in the second half of 2010 in Korea.

At a separate commercial vehicle booth, Hyundai displayed a hydrogen fuel-cell electric bus and a Universe Limousine luxury coach, among other displays



Hyundai Motor Co. had its world-premier of the all-new Hyundai Avante compact sedan, the company's best-selling model worldwide, at the 2010 Busan International Motor Show.

Hyundai Avante/Elantra 2011 Design

The base for the design of Hyundai Avante and Verna has been derived from the Hyundai Sonata YF and features a completely new design. With no surprise the Fluidic Sculpture Design which was earlier seen in Hyundai i-Flow is really doing wonders for such upcoming models. Adding to the beauty of the car are the HID Xenon Headlamps and LED Tail lamps.

Taking a look at the front of the car from a distance,leaves the viewer with an inexpressible appeal because of those “Brutal Eyes” sort of headlamps.The front grille protrudes outwards, unlike most of the recently launched cars, making the face look a bit pointed.

Alloys as seen in the image above are also new and attractive to look at.From the back the tail lamps yet again bring an entirely different look and summarizing it we can say, the car has been styled to meet the evolving appearance wishes of the customers.


NEW QUALIS CARS

QUALIS CARS

S















The Qualis is powered by a mighty, high performan ce 2.4 litre diesel engine. It delivers a maximum power of 54 KW at 4200 rpm and a maximum torque of 151 Nm at 2400 rpm.
The 2.4 litre straight four-cylinder diesel engine guranteees smooth starts and powerful acceleration with a maximum speed of 130 km/h. It has a number of safety features like a crumple zone, three point ELR seatbelts, side door beams etc.

Toyota Kirloskar has acquired 430 acres of land in Bidadi and hopes a production of 20,000 vehicles in the first year of operation and 35,000 vehicles in the following year.

The car is offered in more than 10 ranges, including a special model for the farm sector, which will have cheaper air conditioners and washable seat covers.






The first time I took this gentle giant for a spin I was shocked at the comfort level in driving it! This was a huge vehicle as compared to my Maruti 800 and I was accustomed to the early Mahindra Jeeps which handled and sounded like a tractor.

The drawback in the Quails is the rather outdated looks. It looks rather old and staid to my eyes. It does not look like menacing monster that is the Bolero, it does not have the sleek Macho looks of the Scorpio.

TAVERA CARS


TAVERA CARS




The Tavera moves the MUV game ahead with its combination of space, pleasant looks, driveability and a well-sorted chassis. It can’t make the cut as a true SUV or a real lifestyle car, but as practical family transport. The Tavera is good value for money quite the perfect all-rounder among the current crop of SUVs and MUVs.



The Chevrolet Tavera is a compact MPV produced in Indonesia by Japanese automaker Isuzu Motors and in India by American automaker General Motors sold in ASEAN and Indian markets. It uses the platform of the Isuzu Panther, a diesel-powered multi-purpose vehicle sold in Indonesia. In other markets it is known as the Isuzu AUV, HiLander or Crosswind.










Recently, because of Chevrolet's marketing of their Indian lineup as "an Indian revolution" (similar to their US marketing campaign), the Tavera is now sold as two models. The original Tavera is still being sold; however more upmarket models in India are now sold as the "Tavera Neo 2".



In India there are 2 versions of the Tavera, the original Tavera, the base model which includes the B1 and B2 trims, and the Tavera neo 2(this version was called simply Tavera neo before the Indian Tavera facelift, and before that Tavera Elite), the normal version which includes the LS-B3, the LS-B4, the LT-L and the high-end SS-D1.












With its better average mileage of 14.3kmpl; ergomax seating arrangement with flexible and comfort option; noise Vibration Harshness (NVH) and other features are making this car more and more reliable to the buyers.

Ford_Fiesta_Concept_2.jpg


In the early 1970s, European demand from consumers for small cars was rising. Even Ford's smallest model, the Escort, was a conventional front-engined, rear wheel drive car; yet competitors were launching smaller, front wheel drive cars, like the Fiat 127 and the Peugeot 104. The effects of the 1973 energy crisis were also increasing demand for smaller cars. BMC (which had since merged into British Leyland) had entered the mini-car market with its Mini in 1959, while the Rootes Group had launched the ultimately less successful Hillman Imp in 1963, but times had moved on and people looking for small cars now wanted practical hatchbacks instead of conventional sedans. GM had entered the modern supermini market with its conventional Opel Kadett City/Vauxhall Chevette three-door hatchback twins early in 1975


obcat was approved in autumn 1973, with Ford's engineering centres in Cologne and Dunton (Essex) collaborating. Customer clinics were held across Europe, targeting female buyers in particular.

Ford estimated that 500,000 Fiestas a year would be produced, and built an all-new factory near Valencia, Spain; a transaxle factory near Bordeaux, France; factory extensions for the assembly plants in Dagenham, Essex, and Saarlouis, Germany. Final assembly also took place in Valencia.[4]
