Renault Koleos to hit Indian roads soon

-
Side view of the Koleos.

After introducing Fluence in the Indian market, French auto major Renault is all set to launch it's stunning SUV -- the all new Koleos in India.
With its very sporty exteriors, Koleos will take on Ford Endeavour, Chevrolet Captiva, Honda CR-V and Mitsubishi Outlander among other SUVs in India.
The model which is to be launched in India is actually a facelifted version of the Renault Koleos that is being offered worldwide since 2008.
The front of new Koleos has been revised to reassert its forceful character.
Slimmer headlights and modern ORVM (Outside Rear View Mirror) now incorporates LED indicators.
Sensing that diesel is in vogue in the country due to the rise in petrol prices, Renault has chosen diesel to be the base variant for Indian roads.
Powered by a 2.0 litre dCi, 1995cc, Euro-IV, common rail diesel base engine that churns out a top power of 150 hp and another 2.0 litre, 173 bhp high-end engine, Koleos can attain a highest speed of 185 kmph and 200 kmph respectively.
The powerful turbo diesel engine is expected to be coupled with a 6 speed manual transmission that results in greater acceleration on all four wheels i.e. 10.4 seconds (in base engine), 9.8 seconds (in high-end engine).
This 4X4 crossover will have the comfort of a sedan, and cabin space of an MPV.
Developed in alliance with Nissan, Koleos has prioritised its tough looks by providing front, mid, and lower grille with the car with the third one surrounded by skid plates.
The car also has body colour rear view mirrors and door handles. The car has received a 5-star score in the EuroNCAP tests

Why Tata Choosing Aisin Torque Converter for Sierra is a Smart Move

When Tata Motors announced the Sierra with Aisin-sourced torque converter automatic transmission, I was genuinely happy. Finally, they understood what Indian buyers actually want from an automatic gearbox. Let me tell you why this is such a big deal. The Problem with DCT in Indian Conditions Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) is fantastic on paper. Quick shifts, sporty feel, excellent for enthusiasts. But here's the reality - most Indian car owners do not Cruise or the road conditions allow to do. We drive in bumper-to-bumper traffic, stop-start city conditions, and occasionally take our cars out on an highway. In these conditions, DCT shows its true colors. The jerky low-speed behavior, the hesitation when you need quick power in traffic gaps, and let's not even talk about the repair costs if something goes wrong. I've seen so many complaints from DCT owners about transmission issues after 40,000-50,000 kms. Why Aisin Torque Converter Makes Sense Aisin is not some random suppl...

The Nightmare of a Broken Dream Car Imagine this scenario: You finally visit the showroom, eyes locked on your  dream car . You stretch your budget for the top-end model, book it, wait for months, and then, the day finally arrives. You and your family are ecstatic as you take delivery. But just  five days  after your purchase, as you head to work, your car starts... but the gear won't shift into Drive. How would you feel? You call a tow truck and skip half a day of work. The service center is supportive, but they tell you it will take time. They fix the vehicle, and you assume it was a minor glitch. Then, a month later, it happens again. And then again after six months. Each incident, though resolved by a supportive company, comes at a cost to you:  a canceled weekend trip, a frantic search for an alternative vehicle for a family wedding, and the slow erosion of your peace of mind.  You start questioning your expensive decision. This experience highlights a cruc...
