Honda Brio Amaze

Honda has revealed its new Brio Amaze, a saloon version of the Brio hatchback that was launched in March 2011.

Like its five-door sibling, the Brio Amaze has been designed specifically for the Thai and Indian markets.

The version offered in Thailand is powered by a 1.2 litre i-VTEC petrol engine that delivers 88 bhp (66 kW / 90 PS) and 110 Nm (81 lb/ft) of torque. Euro 4 compliant, it comes with either a five-speed manual gearbox or a continuously variable automatic transmission, and fuel economy of up to 56.4 mpg (5.0 l/100km / 20 km/l) is promised.

For India, a petrol engine is also going to be available when sales begin next year, plus it’ll be joined by a diesel option as well.

Standard equipment includes front airbags, electric power steering and an anti-lock brake system with electronic brake distribution. In Thailand two trim levels will be available, with prices starting from 454,000 Baht (around £9,200 or €11,400 at current exchange rates):

· S MT - 454,000 Baht
· S AT - 493,000 Baht
· V MT - 482,000 Baht
· V AT - 521,000 Baht

    Hope it beats sail.... Doesn't seems like that so far. Pricing can play the real game...... Dzire, Indigo, Etios and recently launched Sail are the biggest hurdle for Amaze.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any

BMW Concept M135i

Image
Next month’s Geneva Motor Show will see BMW unveil the latest addition to its new ‘M Performance’ line-up. Although not quite as hardcore as full-on M cars like the M3 and M5, the M Performance models are nevertheless designed to offer sharper handling, sportier styling and a powerful engine. The M550d xDrive, X5 M50d and the X6 M50d have already been announced as the first of the breed, but now it’s the turn of the F21 three-door 1 Series to get the M Performance treatment. Powering the Concept M135i is a six cylinder petrol engine with Twin Power Turbo technology. For now, all BMW is saying is that it generates ‘more than 300 horsepower’, which makes it sound as if it could be very similar to the three-litre, 335 bhp (250 kW / 340 PS) motor that’s currently used in the 1 Series M Coupé . As well as upgraded suspension, the Concept M135i also features 18” double-spoke alloy wheels, a sports braking system and bespoke aprons front and rear. The visual effect is completed by
