Maruti Suzuki Ertiga MPV

Maruti Suzuki has unveiled the new Ertiga seven-seat MPV. Based on the Swift, it has been developed primarily for the Indian market, but sales are also planned in other South East Asian territories.

According to Mr S. Nakanishi, Managing Director and CEO of Maruti Suzuki, “Many urban families in India are now looking for a vehicle that offers more space and flexibility than a sedan, without being bulky, bland and expensive like a Utility Vehicle.

“These families are currently having to compromise, and settle for a vehicle which does not meet their lifestyle needs. The Ertiga is designed for these customers. It is another example of our ability to pack power, performance, space and features in a compact package.”

Key to that flexibility is ‘5+2’ seating that’s arranged across three rows. As the two rearmost sets of seats fold down, users can choose between a number of different configurations depending on whether people or cargo need to be carried.

The engine line-up comprises either a 1.3 litre diesel or an updated version of the 1.4 litre K-Series petrol unit. Both come with a five-speed manual transmission.

With three trim levels on offer, that gives six different versions with introductory prices starting from Rs. 5.89 lakh (ex-showroom in Delhi):

· Ertiga LXi - Rs. 5.89 lakh
· Ertiga LDi - Rs. 7.30 lakh
· Ertiga VXi - Rs. 6.60 lakh
· Ertiga VDi - Rs. 7.90 lakh
· Ertiga ZXi - Rs. 7.30 lakh

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
