All vehicles under 4-metre length and engine capacity of 1200cc for petrol and 1500cc for diesel qualify as small cars and attract a lower 16% excise duty while all other passenger vehicles are tagged under the 24% bracket. Now the big player are making use of this . Till now, Hyundai, Ford and General Motors tweaked their Getz, Fusion and UV-A engines to 1.2 litres to reduce incidence of excise duty. TATA plans to do the same but with its Indigo which will make it the first sedan to qualify as a small car.

This change will not only save the car around 30,000 RS but its also great for the drivers. Also, it will improve the fat-bottom looks of Indigo.

Hyundai i10 : Review, Pitcures, Road test

Hyundai i10

Hyundai has finally launched the i10 in India, (thats a first any internation country has done)
. The i10 is powered by a 1.1 liter, iRDE petrol engine which can offer great performance along with good fuel economy. i10 is the first to feature a Sun Roof in this class. It will compete with a line of cars, Maruti Suzuki WagonR / Zen Estilo, Chevrolet Spark, FIAT Palio, TATA indica and Hyundai’s own war horse the Santro. Professionals are predicting that there is a high chance that i10 will affect Santro and Getz sales, which didn’t show a good start either.
