The SUV segment of our automobile market is not as crowded as the small car and sedan ones but offers a complete range of cars suitable for every type of buyer. Whether it's a high end Mercedes M Class or an affordable Tata Safari , in terms of price all sorts of SUVs are available. A couple of months back the only car brand to make an appreciable attempt of offering a low end SUV was Premier Auto Limited with its ultra low cost Premier Rio. The car proved to be a tough competitor from the pricing point of view but comparison based on performance and luxury was never in the favor of the same. The sales figures were extremely disappointing inspite of its very affordable price which has made the company to reconsider the car's design cues which could be one of the reasons of its failure. So now the company is expected to roll out a face-lifted model of the Rio soon with a considerable changes on the exteriors as well as interiors.

Mitsubishi Pajero is the classic 4×4 SUV from Mitsubishi in India. It does not clock too much sales and specially after the BS4 emission norms implemented in 13 cities in India , where the Pajero was discontinued because of the emission norms, the sales headed even lower. To keep up with the emission norms, Mitsubishi have made modifications to the existing engine to make it BS4 compliant. The new Mitsubishi Pajero with BS4 complaint engine produces 108BHP of Max power and 260 Nm of max torque as opposed to 118 BHP power and 292 Nm torque respectively for the previous BS3 version. This is close to 10% power and torque loss for the same size of the SUV which will make it a little less fun to zip around. The Pajero weights about 2150Kg (Kerb weight) and is 4.75m long, 1.77m wide and 1.99m high. It rides on large 15 inch tubeless tyres and has 4 wheel drive and 5 speed manual transmission along with a hydraulic power steering.

Maruti Swift Dzire is one of the largest selling sedans in India. Since Maruti Suzuki is bringing new Maruti Swift 2011 in India, which is taller, more spacious and has better interiors, it makes all the sense to revamp the Maruti Swift Dzire as well. The new model of Maruti Swift Dzire will be based on the Maruti Swift New Model and will be similar to it except for the rear boot which will be added to the new Dzire Sedan. The new Dzire is already in development and testing phase and will be launched officially in Jan 2012 in the Auto Expo 2012 to be held in Delhi. The Maruti Swift Dzire 2012 will look much shorter from rear compared to the existing Swift Dzire, approximately 160 to 170mm shorter than the existing Dzire which is 4160 mm in length. This will bring Swift Dzire 2012 new model into the small car segment in excise duty, which in turn will make the new Dzire cheaper than the existing one by at least Rs. 30,000. This price drop can make the deal more favorable for new Dzire compared to the rival sedan of the similar segment. Also since the new [...]
