The industry produced a total of 1,976,270 vehicles including pas-senger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three wheelers and two wheelers in January 2015 as against 1,937,489 in January 2014, registering a

growth of 2.00 percent over the same month last year.

The sales of Passenger Vehicles grew by 3.62 percent in April-January 2015 over the same period last year. Within the Passenger Vehicles segment, Passenger Cars and Utility Vehicles grew by 4.79 percent and 5.58 percent respectively, while Vans declined by (-) 12.15 percent in April-January 2015 over the same period last year.

The overall Commercial Vehicles segment registered a de-growth of (-) 4.60 percent in April-January 2015 as compared to same period last year. Medium & Heavy Commercial Vehicles (M&HCVs) grew by 12.91 percent and Light Commercial Vehicles declined by (-) 12.42 percent.

Three Wheelers sales grew by 13.63 percent in April-January 2015 over the same period last year. Passenger Carriers and Goods Carriers grew by 15.14 percent and 7.27 percent respectively in April-January 2015 over April-January 2014.

Two Wheelers sales registered growth of 9.97 percent in April-January 2015 over April-January 2014. Within the Two Wheelers segment, Scooters, Mo-torcycles and Mopeds grew by 27.42 percent, 4.34 percent and 6.38 percent respectively in April-January 2015 over April-January 2014.

In April-January 2015, overall automobile exports grew by 19.40 percent over the same period last year. Passenger Vehicles, Commercial Vehicles, Three Wheelers and Two Wheelers grew by 6.66 percent, 14.73 percent, 18.98 percent and 23.30 percent respectively during April-January 2015 over the same period last year.

Auto Industry Awaits a Sustained Demand Revival, Heavy Commercial Vehicles Shows Good ImprovementThe year 2014 started on a high note with double-digit forecasts, but is likely to end with an abysmal sub 2-3% growth. Reduced excise duty earlier in the year and the formation of a stable government did give the sentiment a push, but sporadic sales growth was driven by barely a few players like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Motor India and Honda Cars India.The automobile industry has pinned its hopes on falling fuel prices and interest rates, and stalled infrastruc-ture projects getting the go-ahead ó all of which may pump up the economy.

Fuel prices are on their way down, and for the first time in five years, running cost has come down in 2014.

Global crude prices have fallen by 40% from the highs in June, compelling oil marketing companies in India to pass on the benefits. The result: The cost of vehicle ownership has fallen by 3% this fiscal, accord-ing to an ET Intelligence Group analysis.

Historically, a decline in the cost of ownership has led to a spike in passenger car volume growth. In FY04, FY07 and FY10, the cost of car ownership dropped by 9%on an absolute basis, resulting in passenger car volume growth growing by over 20%.

The New Motor Vehicle Act is expected to change the way people drive. The final draft is expected in

the first quarter of 2015.

The ministry of road transport and highways hopes to curb road ac-cidents, ensure 4% GDP improve-ment on account of increased ef-ficiency and safety and create 10 lakh jobs in the transportation sector. By enforcing technologies like intel-ligent speed adaptation, driver alert control and eye drowsiness detectors, it hopes to prevent at least 2 lakh road accident deaths in the next five years, besides imposing hefty penal-ties and jail terms.

An independent agency will handle vehicle regulation and road safety, as per the draft. The ministry claims that the bill is in sync with practices in advanced nations like the US, Canada, Singapore, Japan, Germany and the UK.

But the demand from industry for an old vehicle replacement policy may not be coming in soon, minus the infrastructure to scrap old vehicles.

If the current year belonged to com-pact sedans, 2015 will be a year of utility vehicles. At least 25 launches are expected year 2015. With the entry of new players, the market will be segmented further. Segment leader Mahindra & Mahindra aims to create a new entry price for sports utility vehicles with its Micro SUV, S101, at Rs 4-6 lakh, while Japanese carmaker Nissan will launch its affordable MPV Datsun Go+ for families. v

OVER A 100 YEARS OF RACING PASSION TAG Heueran interactive special exhibition to be visited in hall 3

It would not be an easy task to select just one

photo from the TAG Heuer motor racing album. Unless we are looking for the most moving image which shows an intense Ayrton Senna, fingers in his ears, focused on his race. He was chosen

to feature in the first Don’t Crack Under Pressure campaign. TAG Heuer is proud to appoint him as a mentor in its Pantheon of Ambassadors.

This year, TAG Heuer will be creating an incredible stand at the Geneva Motor Show to mark 30 years of partnership with McLaren, and to allow aficionados to discover all the links the brand boasts with the motor racing world. On this stand, which will cover almost 1000 m2, the Swiss brand will be showcasing Formula 1 and Rally, Endurance and Formula E, and legendary races such as the Carrera Panamericana and classic car rallies such as Goodwood. A number of show cars will be on display to delight visitors, under the gaze of all of the Brand’s leading ambassadors. 2015 marks 30 years of partnership with McLaren, the longest collaboration between a watch brand and a Formula 1 team: the partnership is packed with legendary names, Ayrton Senna on top of them. It is a consolidation of shared values: performance, precision, prestige and innovation. This season, the drivers for this legendary stable are Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button. Another winning ticket for the British team and the Swiss watchmaker? All elements are in place, and to celebrate this anniversary in fitting fashion, a limited edition red and black TAG Heuer Formula 1 will be on display exclusively at the show.

2015 will also see the return of TAG Heuer to the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the LMP1 category, the media’s favourite, via one of the most innovative constructors: Nissan and its Nissan GT-R LM NISMO. The brand new red model is one of the most revolutionary cars. It will appeal to both connoisseurs and novices.

2015 presents a new challenge for Sébastien Ogier, World Rally champion in 2013 and 2014. Will he prove the old adage that “things always come in threes”? Let’s hope his TAG Heuer Carrera 1887 brings him good luck!

2015 is set to be a particularly electrifying year, thanks to the revolution provided by the Formula E championship, the fully electric race series, featuring cars which are little gems of technology and design. It offers a different way of looking at motor racing, perfectly in line with TAG Heuer’s cutting edge nature. The Swiss brand did not hesitate increasing its involvement with the new championship: official partner and timekeeper, and partner of China Team and Mahindra Team. Bruno Senna, Ayrton’s nephew, as gifted as his uncle behind the wheel, is one of the key drivers.

Each discipline and each family of drivers has its own characteristics, habits and specific requirements, but all are unanimously supportive of the new editions of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph calibre 1887.

Market OutlineSeoul Motor Show - Market InformationSince the early 1960s, South Korea has achieved an incredible record of growth and integration into high-tech modern world economy. Four decades ago the GDP per capita was comparable with levels in the poorer countries of Africa and Asia. Today its GDP per capita is 18 times North Korea’s and equal to the lesser economies of the European Union. This success through the late 1980s was achieved by a system of close government/business ties, including directed credit, import restrictions, sponsorship of specific industries, and a strong labour effort. Korea is ranking number five of car manufacturers world wide. The world is turning its attraction to Korea with the most suitable infrastructure such as the Incheon International Airport, established as northeast Asia’s hub port. Northeast Asia is quickly rising as the world’s largest automobile producer and consumer at the same time. With more than 3.5 Mio. produced units (9 % cars, 7 % trucks and 3 % buses) and about 2 Mio. registered cars in 2009, the Korean automobile industry is an important customer for international suppliers. International companies benefit from the sustained openness of the domestic market towards foreign products. The market share of import cars was 4,94 % in 2009. European manufacturers ranking on position two behind Asia with a market share of 36 % of imported cars. Quality upgrades and attractive production volumes offer great chances for the international automotive supplier industry. With the increase in auto parts demand, the Northeast Asian region has become one of the world’s most vital markets.

Northeast Asia is rising as the world’s greatest cluster of autoparts Industries. The potential of this region is unlimited, considering the synergy effects displayed by the coupling of the technological and price competition of the three countries.

Key Region - Focus on SeoulSeoul Motor Show - Market InformationThe metropolis of Seoul is the cultural and economic heart of the country. Seoul is an intriguing city that is transforming itself from the Yi Dynasty capital of the Hermit Kingdom to a major player on the international scene, especially in the field of commerce, culture and sports. Nowhere else is the Korean drive to come to terms with a turbulent and fractured past so evident.

Seoul is a megalopolis with more than 10 million citizens. There is a wide range of distribution channels and facilities to connect consumers with producers or manufacturers. The Seoul Metropolitan Area, including Gyeonggi Province and Incheon, is a large consumer market with a population of 23 million.

The City of Seoul has nearly 10 million people with strong purchasing power and a high level of income. Encompassing the City of Incheon and Gyeonggi Province, the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) has 21.5 million people, which accounts for 45.6 percent of the Korean population.

Seoul is a safe and friendly city with a low crime rate. Seoulites work long hours but also enjoy socialising and are generally more than kind to foreign visitors. If you look lost, someone is bound to offer to help you. v

Although automotive engineers and craftsmen have always focused on improving all aspects of cars as a whole, the public was primarily interested in their performance, thereafter in their safety imposed by an increase in traffic, and finally by advances in more economic and ecological propulsion technologies. The 2008 economic crisis of compelled the automobile industry to redouble their efforts in this domain. In order to respond to the demands of a new generation of car owners, manufacturers put their foot on the accelerator to develop a full array of alternative drive systems (electric, hybrid – petrol/electric, diesel/electric, hydrogen, natural gas, biofuel), to which the “downsizing” of the combustion engines was also used as a means of decreasing fuel consumption. In fact, Toyota launched its first hybrid model, the Prius, back in 1997, followed by Honda with their Insight model in 1999. Ford commercialized the first hybrid SUV, the Escape, in 2004, followed by Dodge with their RAM pickup truck and Chevrolet with their Silverado. New concept cars always seem audacious and sometimes far-fetched when first presented. In 2009, they were presented all together for the first time in a dedicated “Green Pavilion” at the Geneva International Motor Show, providing visitors with an overview of the evolution, or even revolution, that the automobile world was about to experience. Today, all the major manufacturers produce « clean » cars. The brands of sports cars (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus, Porsche), high end cars (Audi, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes) and more recent arrivals (Tesla) have followed in their footsteps. The Nissan Leaf, a 100% electric car, was voted Car of the Year in 2011, and the Opel Ampera/Chevrolet Volt, an electric/petrol hybrid, received the same accolade in 2012. A new FIA International motorsport championship, Formula E, has been launched for single-seater racing cars which are 100% electric and is already in its first season in 2014-2015. The complete list of the fuel-efficient vehicles that are available on the Swiss market can be found at www.suisseenergie.ch.

EVEN MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND ECONOMICAL CARS AT THE GENEVA INTERNATIONAL MOTOR SHOW 2015The organisers of the Geneva International Motor Show, in collaboration with the Swiss Federal Energy Office, have published a brochure that contains all of the « Green » models exhibited at this year’s event. Since 2009, the Geneva International Motor Show has been the first to promote alternative propulsion technologies. Initially presented in a pavilion specifically dedicated to these new concepts, the number of new ecological and economical models has grown to the point where today they are now displayed on the majority of manufacturers’ stands. The 85th edition of the Geneva International Motor Show will be open to the public from 5th – 15th March 2015 in Palexpo’s exhibition halls.

For the second consecutive year, the Geneva International Motor Show, in collaboration

with the Swiss Federal Energy Office, as part of “SuisseEnergie”, a national platform for the promotion of energy efficiency, will publish a leaflet containing all the ” Green” cars exhibited at the Show. This document lists all models on display at the Salon which emit no more than 95 grams of CO2 per kilometre, regardless of their means of propulsion. This figure complies with the average emission level due to be imposed by the European Union on all new cars from 2021. Of 900 or so cars on show, around

100 already meet these criteria today. The leaflet will be distributed at the entrance to the Motor Show and on the Association e’mobile stand (Hall 5, Stand 5141). The list can also be found online at the Motor Show website. The Swiss National Counsellor, Mrs. Doris Leuthard, who will officially open the Geneva International Motor Show on 5th March 2015, has made her choice. Some time ago she swapped her official car for a Tesla. It remains to be seen whether she will be at the wheel of this 100% electric car for her visit to the Show.


The awarding of the Car of the Year 2015 will take place, as with the previous

three years, in the Lobby of Palexpo’s Congress Centre. But this year the presentation setting will be totally revised. It will allow the winning car to be driven onto the stage for presentation. A large 2-section media screen, surrounding black curtains and a wall with all the participating logos will be used to create a more dramatic atmosphere for announcing the results of this important election. The final vote and the awarding of the Car of the Year will take place on Monday, March 2nd, 2015 at 3:00 p.m. The ceremony will be reserved for the journalists accredited by the Motor Show and the exhibitors

from seven models which are very different from each other but all are attractive in terms of innovations, quality, price/performance ratio and design: • BMW2SeriesActive Tourer • CitroenC4Cactus • FordMondeo • Mercedes-BenzC Class • NissanQashqai • RenaultTwingo • VolkswagenPassatSwitzerland will be represented on the jury by Urs Bärtschi, owner of Bärtschi Media AG, and agency specialising in the automobile world and working with such

publications as Blick, Sonntagsblick and Schweizer Illustrierte, and by Peter Ruch, an independent journalist and editor of the online magazine Radical Mag and a regular contributor to Automobil Revue. The Car of the Year organising committee consists of seven European magazines, and this year is presided over by Mrs. Wibke Bruns, representing Gruner + Jahr. The group publishes the German magazine « Stern », a member of this organisation for nearly 50 years. Hakan Matson, President of the jury and automobile journalist for the Swedish economic daily « Dagans Industry » will conduct the awards ceremony and will be presenting the prize to the happy winner.

CAR OF THE YEAR 2015: To Be Awarded For The 4Th Time At The Geneva International Motor Show

This prestigious prize, which has been awarded for more than 50 years by a jury composed of 58 European journalists, will be presented for the fourth time at the Geneva International Motor Show on the day before the Press Days. The seven finalists were announced in December 2014 and are now going through their final tests. The Motor Show organisers will be enhancing the importance of this ceremony through an all new presentation setting which will better meet the needs of the media representatives in attendance. The live broadcast of the ceremony on the websites of the Motor Show and the Car of the Year organisation will enable the general public to participate in this event which is normally reserved for journalists and the exhibitors at the Geneva International Motor Show.

presenting at the Show. However, the ceremony will be broadcasted live over the official sites of the Motor Show(www.salon-auto.ch) and the Car of the Year organization (www.caroftheyear.org) which will enable the general public to take part and find out who the winner is at the same time as the official announcement. The jury for the Car of the Year is composed of 58 journalists from 22 countries in Europe. They chose their favourites last December from among the 31 models deemed eligible by meeting the criteria of having sold at least 5,000 examples per year. 22 cars participated in this first round. As is the custom, the final selection will be made


China offers USD 20 billionmarket for Made- in- Indiaauto components, of this,

the 'addressable opportunity' isabout USD 7.5 billion, a study byGovernment of India and topindustry body Automotive Compo-nent Manufacturers Association ofIndia (ACMA) said.

Chinese imports have continued togrow sharply relative to Indianexports resulting in a record deficitof $35 bn in 2013 coming downfrom $40 billion in 2012.

ACMA has recently conducted astudy "Export Opportunities forMade-in-India auto components forChina'. The study, partly funded byMinistry of Commerce, Governmentof India was conducted by AvalonConsulting that focussed onunderstanding the buying behaviour

and the market dynamics of theChinese automotive market as alsocompetitiveness of the Chinese autocomponent manufacturers andthereby ascertaining the feasibility ofventuring into the Chinese market.

The report identifies specific exportopportunities, estimated at USD 20billion, for auto components toselect OEMs in China.

The report has been compiled aftera rigorous analysis of macroeco-nomic and trade data with researchin India and China and throughnumerous meetings with Indian andChinese automotive and autocomponents companies.

On the occasion, Arvind Mehta,Joint Secretary, Department ofCommerce, Ministry of Commerce& Industry, Government of India

China offers $20 billion opportunity formade-in-India auto parts

said, "I am glad that ACMA and itsmembers have overcome theapprehension that India cannot becompetitive vis-a-vis China and haveidentified it as a target market. Thisinitaive will be step forward inbridging the significant tradeimbalance between China andIndia."

Commenting on the report, VinnieMehta, Director General, ACMA said,"Auto component is one of India'straditional export strengths however,India's trade deficit in auto compo-nents with China has also grownsubstantially.

He also added, "China's autocomponents exports to India stoodat USD 2.6 billion in 2013-14,contrasted with India USD 300million, and this trend has remainedunaltered for the last three odd

years. Increasing labour costs inChina, coupled with improveddesign capabilities and valueaddition by Indian auto componentmanufacturers presents a favourableopportunity for Indian autocomponent manufacturers toexplore the Chinese market."

ACMA earlier this year had organiseda ten-member CEOs' delegationwhich visited China to engage withthe Chinese automotive industry.

During the four days, the delegationsinteracted with Global and ChineseOEMs, Chinese componentmanufacturers, government officialsand local industry bodies to updatethem on the growing capabilities ofthe Indian auto component industry,as well, as further businessengagements between the twocountries.


China will continue to be theauto industry’s growthleader over the coming

years. We expect auto demand inChina to grow 7% in 2015 to nearly

19.5 million units. Monetary easingby the central bank and a prolifera-tion of new models will alsosupport car sales over the comingyear. Estimates suggest that nearly20% of all new vehicle sales arenow financed in China, up from10% as recently as 2010. Mean-while, automakers launched 10 newCUVs in late 2014 and more arecoming in the New Year. However,last year’s 12% increase likely marksthe end of more than a decade ofdouble-digit gains. We believe thatgrowth will shift into single-digitsgoing forward. While urbanizationand employment growth remainstrong, per capital urban incomegrowth has moderated from thedouble-digit pace of the pastdecade and will dampen salesgrowth.

Sales of passenger cars in Chinagrew almost 10 percent last monthfrom a year earlier despite broaderconcerns about a slowdown inboth the overall automobilebusiness and the Chinese economy

as a whole.1 With auto sales inBrazil, India and Russia struggling tolive up to the BRIC hype of a fewyears ago, the Chinese marketremains the global auto industry'sbest bet for sustained growth. Oneproblem: the Chinese government.A wave of recent interventionsuggests that the good times for theworld's automakers have increasinglycome at the expense of China'sstrategic auto-industry goals.

“Yet China remains a statistician's - and Western car executive's - dream. In excess of 200 cities here house more than one million inhabitants, while 10 cities

contain more than 10 million people each. Then there's the Yangtze Delta region, an area the size of Germany that's home to an unbelievable 217 million

people. Shanghai is the main hub of this delta, and is home to 23 million of them. Almost a quarter of China's humongous GDP is generated by this bit of the

country - equivalent to $1800bn. This has helped fuel prosperity to the extent that there are now more than one million millionaires in China overall. Informa-

tion like this is almost impossible to absorb.”

SMART MOBILITY CITY was first launched at the 42nd show in 2011 as one of our initiatives to become the top technology motor show in the world

and an international motor show that has presence with the ability to deliver information. This year will be the third installment, in which we again team with a wide range of companies from industries such as house building, telecommunications, energy, and materials. Through this project, we promote the innovative spirit of Japan’s technology for smart communities and ITS evolving around cars, to both Japan and abroad.

Focusing on freedom, we established the theme for this project as “With more freedom… change for cars, change for lifestyles, change for society.” We will propose cars, lifestyles, and a society that offer the freedom to choose energy sources and the freedom to easily and conveniently use information and services. These will also offer freedom for international visitors, using their native language, and

those with physical disabilities, to travel more safely, easily, and comfortably with reassurance.

The concept of exhibitions will evolve and transform dramatically, being evocative of the new evolution of Tokyo targeting 2020 and advanced urban systems beyond that. In collaboration with exhibitors from a variety of fields, we will create this “city of tomorrow” where visitors can physically experience the city-car-people relationship in an exhibit format for the first time. While strolling through this city, visitors will experience the fun and joy of next-generation cars, new lifestyles, social changes, and values.

German auto component manufacturer, ZF Friedrichshafen AG has opened a new facility in Pune with a

total investment worth nearly Rs 150 crore (20 million) to tap the growing potential of the Indian market.

Situated at Chakan, the plant is spread over an area of 85 000 square meters (21 acres) will house Car

Powertrain Technology and Commercial Vehicle Technology divisions as well as ZF Services under the

same roof.

"This new plant is an important investment in the centennial year of ZF Group", said Wilhelm Rehm, Board

Member of ZF Friedrichshafen AG and Global Head of material management. "The new facility in India

reinforces ZF's role as a global player and its commitment of expanding in a growth region like India."

Over the years, ZF has been successful in localizing high technology products in India. "Now we will

focus on the 'Make-in-India' theme and source quality products for its global portfolio", he added.

Commenting on the development Rudi von Meister, ZF's President of Asia-Pacific, said: "The synergies

from this consolidation will enable us to improve efficiencies and help us provide a compelling value

proposition to our customers." Today, Asia-Pacific is the most important market for ZF after Europe and

North America. After China, India is the second-largest market in the region and caters to various

industry segments like Automotive, Off-highway, Windpower and Marine.

ZF established its presence in Pune in 2010 by introducing high performance transmissions, followed

by chassis components both for commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Today it enhances this

product portfolio by launching passenger car clutch systems. These are specially designed to meet the

demanding driving conditions in India."

ZF has been operating for more than three decades in the Indian market. Currently, ZF's presence in

India consists of eight plants spread across Pune, Pantnagar, Gurgaon, Chennai, Coimbatore and

Madurai, and roughly 3,000 employees. The new facility will have approximately 200 employees.

The Captur, based on the fourthgeneration Renault Clioplatform, was shown as a

concept at the 2011 Geneva MotorShow. French carmaker Renault isdeveloping an even smaller sportutility vehicle Captur after thesuccessful launch of the Duster in2012. To compete with Ford’sEcoSport and market leader MarutiSuzuki’s sub-four metre SUV that willroll out next year, the Captur will belaunched in 2018. According toestimates provided to suppliers,Nissan is targeting sales of 60,000Capturs a year. Ford sells 4,400

EcoSports a month. “The Indian version of the Captur will see some changes." The length is likely to be broughtdown to under 4 metres to avail of excise duty benefits,” a source close to the development said. "The engines areexpected to be the 1.5 litre diesel and 1.2 litre petrol used across Renault and Nissan models like the Micra, Sunny,Duster and the Fluence. A Renault India spokesperson declined to comment on the development.. The Captur,based on the fourth generation Renault Clio platform, was shown as a concept at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.The mini SUV was launched in France in April 2013 to strong sales. “One good product can change the fortune of abrand in India. Who knows it better than Renault, which proved its prowess in the SUV segment. Bringing outanother small SUV will be a fitting reply to competitors when its sedans and hatchbacks are struggling,” said GauravVangaal, senior analyst for light vehicle forecasting at IHS Automotive. Renault India’s sales volume dropped 28 percent to 31,980 vehicles in April-December 2014.

It will launch the Lodgy, based on the Duster platform, in the next few weeks to compete with Honda’s Mobilio,Maruti’s Ertiga and Toyota’s Innova.

Maruti SuzukiXA AlphaExpected time of launch: Mid 2015

Expected Price: Rs 6-9 lakh

Maruti first unveiled its compact XAAlpha SUV/Crossover concept atthe 2012 Indian Auto Expo in Delhiand if sources are to be believedshall launch the production versionof the same sometime around mid2015. Based on the Swift platform,the XA Alpha is most certainlygoing to be one of the most highlyanticipated cars of 2015.

The XA Alpha’s production versionwill be powered by the same Fiatderived 1.3-litre Multijet engine anda 1.2-litre K-Series 4-cylinder petrolpowertrain. The XA alpha will alsoshowcase future design elements interms of interior and exterior trimwhile sharing components from thecurrent crop of Maruti’s wideofferings.

With a retro touch combined with afresh new design, the XA Alpha’schunky look harks back to the daysof the original Suzuki SJ (Gypsy inIndia) series. With large chunkywheels and a wide stance, theSuzuki XA Alpha will certainlyappeal to both the established carbuyer and the first time car buyer inone swoop. All of the abovecombined with Maruti’s servicenetwork will most certainly give carslike the Ford Ecosport and theupcoming Honda SUV a run for it’smoney. We expect an entry-levelpetrol version to be priced at aboutRs 6 lakh whereas the entry leveldiesel should be priced around Rs7 lakh.

New Cars for 2015: Compact SUVs


Expected Price: Rs 8-12 lakh

Honda’s foray into the compactSUV/crossover segment will be asimportant as the XA Alpha fromMaruti-Suzuki. With Honda’sreputation for building bulletproofcars, their new addition to theportfolio will definitely be a hotseller. The compact SUV will bebased on the Brio’s platform but willhave an extended wheelbase similarto the Honda Mobilio. Just like theMobilio, we expect the compactSUV to have great legroom andheadroom. That said, we alsoexpect the car to be slightlycramped when it comes toshoulder room just like in theMobilio.

The compact SUV will share the 1.5-litre i-Dtec diesel engine which alsodoes duty in the Honda Mobilio andwill get the 1.5-litre i-Vtec petrolengine from the Honda City. It isunclear whether this new compactSUV will be under the 4-meter markto take advantage of excise dutyexemptions but it does look likeHonda could pull it off by reducingbumper overhangs. Expect thiscompact SUV from Honda to costbetween Rs 8-12 Lakh.

Hyundai ix35Hyundai’s compact SUV, the ix35will make to Indian shores in the firsthalf of 2015 going head to headwith the likes of Maruti-Suzuki’s XAAlpha and the Ford Ecosport. Theix35 looks distinctively like a Hyundaiwith its fluidic design language.

At first glance, the ix35 looks like anexpanded Verna with a similar splitgrille and swept back headlamps.There are several little chrome detailsthat make the ix35 look much moreexpensive than it actually is whilegiving it a mature and grown up feel.The ix35’s compact size along withit’s striking design will definitely strikea cord with eager Indian audiences.

Mechanically, the ix35 will feature thesame small 1.1 Litre Crde engine thatdoes duty in Hyundai’s new Grandi10 but with a greater power output.We also expect Hyundai to offer the1.6 Litre Crde engine that they

currently offer in the Hyundai Verna as a range topping engine. Expect the ix35 to be priced extremely competitivelywith prices for the petrol starting at just under 7 lakh and the base model diesel costing not more than Rs 7.25-7.5lakh.
