whoa! Hyundai is taking the world by storm. Every corner of the world has something new happening with the i10.
In Belgium -
Hyundai’s exporter in Belgium is running an unbelievable offer – Buy a Hyundai Sonata 2.0 CRDi Executive and get a new Hyundai i10 free! OK you don’t get the Kappa engine, you still get the 1.1-liter engine which is a peppy motor.
The catch – You need to be among the first 75 to book this car to be eligible. So if you live in Hungary, you can’t afford to think too long!
In U.K -
Hyundai i10 is now among the top ten best selling cars in the UK ! No, Hyundai UK did not offer a Sonata free with the i10.
The massive booking is because of the incentives provided by the government on your new car, if you trade in your old and smokey one which isn’t doing any good to the environment or your fuel bills. The scrappage scheme is a great opportunity to exchange you old car at the best possible bargain, and the Hyundai i10 is among the most favorite cars with British buyers.
Hyundai sold 3,084 cars last month making it the ninth most popular car in July 2009.
It is the 30th time the Fiat 500 is winning an international award, with 3,000 more waiting in line.
The 500′s 30th award was at the 2009 Auto Express Awards, for the second consecutive year, the 500 was given the best city car title.
The stylish Italian supermini was judged at Britain’s biggest weekly car magazine’s annual award function. It’s not the first time Fiat’s coming first, the Panda pocketed the same award for four years, before the 500 came into the scene.
After looking at the re-styled Fiat Grande Punto Evo, I am sure many of you would question why Fiat introduced the older model in India.
The new spy shot, for the first time, reveals the full front fascia of the car. The embedded plastic strip with the fog lamps, I’m sure, would be body colored in the high end model! The base Fiat Grande Punto Evo would have them black.
The extra lamps would come in handy during an early morning fog. This technically makes it a dual bumper car, and customers would have to pay even more now to get both in body color! The Fiat dealership paint shops better be equipped for the rush.
Autocar India reports VW is having grand plans for India. The Up! small car, which was discussed a while back, will be sold in India at a starting price of 3-lakh rupees and the company hopes to sell 100,000 cars initially.
VW has gone in for a front engine front wheel drive layout instead of the initially conceived Tata Nano style rear engine rear wheel drive system. This was done in the interest of curbing cost.
The Up! will battle it out with the Hyundai i10 and Suzuki A-Star when they start selling it around the December 2011 mark.
The Up! according to Autocar will come with a compact three-cylinder, 1-litre TDI engine as by then, a fully localized Hyundai i10 diesel would be in the market. For petrol lovers, the entry-level 800cc petrol unit should suffice, and the 1.2 TSI should make for a performance car.
We’ve not been writing much about Volvo in India since they run here with just the S80 and the XC90. We were informed Volvo is pondering over the possibility of the XC60 locally, and here comes another announcement from the company – the new S60 sedan is here next year.
The safety conscious Swedish auto maker is uncertain of who its owner will be, but Indian operations is fully inert to those developments assures Volvo Car India Managing Director Paul de Voijs.
Volvo presently operates with seven dealerships in the country. It is looking to increase its visibility by expanding the dealer network to twelve.
The lightest, smallest and most fuel efficient Land Rover, the LRX will begin its life in a production line in 2011.
Next year at the Paris Motor Show, the production model will be exhibited deriving important portions from its concept, shown at the North American show last January.
The LRX will be dropped between the Freelander and Discovery. Arriving in both 3 and 5 door forms, the LRX will not be a replacement model. A hybrid variant will also accompany the regular car.
