Tata Safari’s 2.2l engine and the Scorpio’s upcoming 2.2 are probably the most anticipated and talked about engines in the country over the past year. Finally Tata beat Mahindra to it and launched the 2.2 litre dicor.
This new smaller 2.2L 16-valve DOHC engine produces 138 bhp (140 PS) at 4000 rpm and peak torque is at 320 Nm from 1700 through 2700 rpm. According to Tata this engine, more refined and made of modern alloys, is lighter and brings the new Safari’s 0-100 km/h time down to 15 seconds.
With all the speculation about the Fiat Uno making a come back, Fiat showed the sketch of its future model in one of their presentations for investor relations. Fiat calls it ‘B-COMPACT‘ a car most likely to revive the Fiat Uno name in 2009. It is to be made available in two body versions and will be high on practicality and value for money. Furthermore, Fiat is aiming for a very aggressive price for this model.
X6 is another addition to BMW‘s X-cars lineup, (BMW calls them SAVs – Sports Activity Vehicle) but is a crossover of a coupe and an SUV and they call this an SAC – Sports activity Coupe.
Right now X6′s design is subject to a lot of controversy like all the Bimmers designed by Chris Bangle. People complaining about the X6 are more than the ones who like it and I’m among the minority. X6 has been executed beautifully inheriting a lot of design features from the X5 but in the looks department way better than the other X-cars (especially the X3 IMO which is uglier than the ugliest of the lot).
