    Maruti Suzuki Baleno RS 1.0

    Maruti Suzuki Baleno RS 1.0 Preview
    Maruti Suzuki will soon make the Baleno a lot feistier by introducing the hatchback with a turbocharged petrol engine. Unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show, the 1-litre three-cylinder turbocharged engine christened ‘BoosterJet’ will make its India debut at the 2016 Auto Expo.

    Exterior

    The Baleno with the 1-litre BoosterJet carries the same look as the regular model which means it uses Suzuki’s new liquid flow design philosophy to emphaize its exterior. The front of the car gets a V-shaped grille and sweptback headlamps that reminds us of the Swift. Although the side profile is relatively simple, the rear-end looks pretty bold with LED tail lamps and some splashing of chrome. That being said, this 1-litre turbocharged version could get bigger alloys and some detailing to differentiate it from its naturally aspirated counterpart.

    Interior

    Like the exterior, the cabin design and the overall layout will remain the same. There will however be slightly revised instrumentations and perhaps different upholstery for a sportier look. If we look at the existing Baleno range, there is plenty of space in the cabin for five passengers, also the boot is large at 339litres. Maruti is offering plenty of features with the Baleno with the top-end model featuring a touch-screen music system with navigation, rear parking camera and sensors, climate control and engine start-stop button.

    Engine and Performance

    Currently, petrol versions of the Baleno are powered by the 1.2-litre, K-Series VVT engine developing 83bhp and 115Nm of torque. The fuel efficiency of this engine is officially rated at 21.4kmpl while Maruti is offering it with a choice of a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox. The Baleno 1-litre BoosterJet, on the other hand, uses forced induction to dish out 110bhp and 170Nm of torque – numbers that should allow for a noticeable improvement in outright performance.

    Competition

    The Baleno range competes with the likes of Honda Jazz and Hyundai Elite i20 here in India. The Baleno 1-litre BoosterJet, meanwhile, will compete with the Volkswagen Polo GT TSI as its arch rival.

    Why You Can't Steal The Rolls-Royce Spirit Of Ecstasy Hood Ornament

    There is no doubt in the fact that Rolls-Royce cars are a spectacle in itself, but if there is one element that has been highly fantasised, written and spoken about relating to the car, it is the 'Spirit of Ecstasy' hood ornament. The Flying Lady has been synonymous with the marque British brand since 1920 and is available in stock stainless steel, while customers have spruced up their iterations in complete gold or crystal which are available as optional extras, with certain examples worth over $10,000 (over Rs. 6 lakh).

    No wonder then, the Silver Lady is highly desired by enthusiasts and thieves alike. However, while you may have seen logos of luxury car makers like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and even Porsche being stolen from the vehicles; there are never complaints of the Spirit of Ecstasy being stolen and that is because Rolls-Royce won't let that happen.

    Attention to detail has always been one of the attributes of buying a Rolls and the folks at Goodwood have thought this through as well. Since the brand was resurrected in 2003, all modern day Rolls-Royce cars have the hood ornament mounted on a spring-loaded mechanism which will automatically detract into the radiator shell, should the 3-inch icon if struck from any direction. This makes is almost impossible to steal the Flying Lady.

    Moreover, the driver can also raise or lower the Spirit of Ecstasy emblem with the touch of a button, in order to ensure its safety. The hood ornament is a part of every Rolls-Royce that comes out of the British car maker's facility in the UK right from the flagship Phantom to the new Dawn convertible and continues to stun everyone with its presence. Just one of the reasons why Rolls-Royce cars are all the more desirable we say.

    Jeep India will commence operations with two dealerships located in Delhi and Ahmedabad respectively. An image surfaced online shows the Ahmedabad dealership under construction and will be operated by Concept Motors, which already owns Hyundai dealerships in the city. The Delhi dealership on the other hand, will only retail the Grand Cherokee SRT initially, since the diesel ban does not allow the company to retail the other two models that use 2000cc and above capacity diesel engines.
