Maruti Escudo, the new Grand Vitara, coming soon





The Escudo will be the replacement for the venerable old Suzuki Grand Vitara in India.



Maruti plans to launch the latest version of its SUV Grand Vitara - the Suzuki Escudo - in India very soon. No firm dates are available as of writing this.Maruti officials talked about the launch of the Escudo in India at the unveiling of the company's A3 class sedan, the Maruti SX4 in India. Globally, the Escudo is marketed as an urban cross-country vehicle that offers the riding comfort as a passenger car. That puts it in much the same class as a Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson and Chevrolet Forester - out of which only the CR-V is selling in any considerable numbers. The Escudo in India will also be compared to the Ford Endeavour which recently had a fresh go at the market. The expected engine options are a 2000cc petrol as well as a 2.7 litre diesel.We expect the latest moel of the Escudo, with its clean-cut lines, to make the debut in India. As an SUV goes, it is pretty much what customers would expect - reasonably large and sophisticated, and moderate off-road capabilities.
Pricing details of the Maruti Escudo too are unavailable officially, though sources indicate that the SUV would be priced at Rs 12-15 lakhs ex-showroom in India. They also tell us that the expected launch will be in July 2007. Maruti had showcased the Escudo in the last Auto Expo in New Delhi, where it evoked considerable interest. The price, if true, will position it pretty much in the same price range as the Endeavour while keeping comfortably below the CR-V.What we know so far is that the Maruti Escudo will be imported - mostly like as a compeltely built unit. Maruti can be expected to crank up the PR machinery before the launch - it's last SUV, the Grand Vitara, had a cold reception in India, and they company can be expected to pull out all stops to make sure the Escudo would not meet the same fate.

HONDA CR-V




Cr-V" redirects here. It is also a shorthand referring to chromium-vanadium alloy tool steels.


The Honda CR-V is a compact crossover SUV manufactured by the Japanese automaker Honda since 1996. It was loosely derived from the Honda Civic to satisfy a public demand for a sport-utility vehicle from Honda. There are discrepancies as to what "CR-V" stands for, with Honda sources in different markets citing different meanings. Though Honda sales literature in UK reportedly makes references to "Compact Recreational Vehicle", other Honda references (including the official Honda Japan CR-V Fact Book [1] and Honda Worldwide [2]) cite "Comfortable Runabout Vehicle". It is available in both all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive, although in many markets such as the United Kingdom, only all-wheel drive is offered due to lack of demand for lower specification vehicles and higher consumer expectations.
Honda produces CR-Vs in the
United Kingdom and Japan for worldwide markets, and as of 2007, North American CR-Vs are produced in East Liberty, Ohio. The CR-V is produced for the Chinese market by the Dongfeng Honda Automobile Company, a joint venture with Honda. Starting in fall 2007, North American CR-Vs will also be produced in Jalisco, Mexico in addition to the US, Japan, and Britain due to high demand. Honda executives considered making the CR-V as one of the first vehicles to be produced at Honda's new facility currently under construction in Greensburg, Indiana that will open in fall 2008; however, the facility will initially exclusively produce the Civic, which may free up space in East Liberty for CR-V production from the 2009 model year onward. Elsewhere, the CR-V is Honda's smallest SUV other than the related Element sold in the United States and Canada, and the HR-V sold in Europe. In size, the CR-V slots between the Element and Pilot.

Mitsubishi Montero



Reflection of supremacy



To some, commanding respect comes naturally. And that’s what a Montero does. A class apart, Montero makes your every drive, a graceful event. The rugged car that is ready for anything thrown at it, transforms itself into a lap of luxury the moment you step into it. Apart from its awe-inspiring design and the majestic looks, it pampers you and gives you that kingly treatment. So the next time you take it on the road, the only thing that you will reflect is your supremacy.



Awaken Your Senses


Touch the soft leather upholstery. Relax in luxurious seating that understands the human form. Spacious and remarkably familiar, Montero creates a new perspective. From the outside, a stylish SUV, but on the inside, nothing short of pure luxury and a ride that is as quiet and exhilarating as daybreak.
