Porsche has revealed that it is planning to introduce its new Diesel variant of its sports utility vehicle Cayenne to India.
The new Porsche Cayenne Diesel is not likely to come anytime soon to the Middle East and Asia, but talks are underway with the Germany’s Porsche executive panel to attempt to secure the vehicle for India, Porsche said in a statement.
Porsche has already begun the production of Cayenne Diesel at Leipzig in Germany and would be initially available in only selected European markets from February 2009.
* The Cayenne diesel will come with a powerful 3-litre V6 Turbo diesel engine with power of 240 Bhp (176 kW) and a peak torque of 550Nm.
* Engine is provided by subsidiary company Audi AG.
* The Cayenne diesel uses 9.3 liters Diesel per 100 kilometers and its CO2 emissions are 244 Grams/Km. Average mileage is 10.7 Kmpl. (Comparable to any fuel efficient SUV!)

This supplements Volkswagen’s recent announcement that will build a new mid-size sedan(NMS). In fact, this is the very first Test mule photographed. This car is intended to go head-to-head against the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry.

Well, well, look what we have got here- The 2010 Suzuki Kizashi which we were speaking about earlier the other day. Spotted sporting zebra stripes, the Suzuki Kizashi is eager to attack it’s D-Segment competitors once it steps on to India some day in 2009-10. It’s name might be changed, it might be the same, but we think it hardly matters. The Suzuki Kizashi was photographed by spy photographers at [ Read More ]
