Honda BRV question

Q. Which is the best and cones in as first Honda BRV, Ford EcoSport, Mahindra Marazzo or Tata Nexon. Please advise me about variants as a petrol or diesel?

Saurabh | 5 hours ago Comparing Honda BR-V and Mahindra Marazzo with Ford EcoSport and Tata Nexon is an inappropriate comparison. One prime reason being former two as seven seaters where as latters are five seaters. Between, BR-V and Marazzo, BR-V offers more sedan-like comfort, while ground clearance and handling of an SUV. Marazzo on other hand is more MPV and has bigger space. But BR-V scores big on its efficient price point with available features and functions. I'm a BR-V owner for past three years and my satisfaction score is 5/5. I chose BR-V over Scorpio, XUV500 and last generation Innova. BR-Vs one great feature (if you are a petrol head) is availability of CVT with paddle shifters. On the other hand in five seaters, Nexon wins big time because of its modern design, 5 star safety score on Global NCAP and its features when compared to EcoSport. Nexon is the only car India with such a safety score. Features wise too Nexon carries a load of them and are quite competitive with facelifted EcoSport launched recently. On the fuel efficiency as well, Nexon is reportedly better off when weighed along side EcoSport. ...Read More 0 Reply

Zigwheels | 3 days ago If you are looking for a car with a seating capacity of 7 persons then you can opt between Mahindra Marazzo and Honda BR-V. To check which is the best MUV on the offer Among Tata Nexon and Ford Ecosport, if you want a car with the good build quality, good music system, and best in segment 209 mm ground clearance, then you can opt for the Nexon, whereas, if you want a fun to drive car with ease of driving in the city then, Ecosport is a good option. click here for more information. As for the fuel type, if your daily running is above then 50 km then you can opt for the diesel engine or vice versa. ...Read More 0 Reply
Tata Nexon question

Q. I need to buy a good car but i am confused between swift and nexon please help me out??????????

D | 4 days ago **FIRST of all** both the cars are from** two different segment** one is a regular hatchback and the other is a compact suv, and they both are the champions in their segment.Talking about swift, then it has its own fan following and is currently the highest selling hatchback in india, people crave for swift because of these reason.**1-Good mileage: **its the biggest factor considered while buying any car in india,its arai mileage is 25 kmpl, but on an avergae its gives around 21kmpl which is pretty decent.**2-MARUTI has number of outlets** and u can easily find its part even at the remotest area.**3-very good resale value**, this is also a factor which is considered meticulously before buying any car, and maruti meet that expectation fairly well.**4-ENGINE**-maruti’s engine are just mind blowing, its **punchier, reliable, long lasting **and **very refined** particularly the one which is used in the **swift**. **the 1.2 litre k series engine** powers not only swift, brezza but also the s-cross models . i have myself driven the** swift vdi model** and trust me its mind blowing.let us start with the **NEXON.**Its a compact **suv **and its exterior gives its a **very premium** feeling, one thing that u can be sure off, while buying the tata cars is their build in quality, they are **robust and tough**, also their pricing is quite comparable.the big issue with the tata cars are their **resale value** and therefore people do have a second thought while buying it. but mind my words they are **much safer** than the maruti cars. Nexon also has some special features which sets it apart from the swift(even the top model) like**1-drive modes:ECO, CITY, SPORT.****2-Hill assist,**etcnexon price starts with** 6.16 lakh** and reaches upto **9.41 lakh**(ex-showroom price, delhi) while the **swif**t price for the base variant is **4.99 **lakh and RS **7.29 **lakh for the top variant.Please note that all the price quoted are for **petrol variants.****ENGINE SPECIFICATION(SWIFT PETROL)**ARAI Mleage:25kmplDisplacement :1197 ccFuel Type:PetrolMax Power (bhp@rpm) :82 bhp @ 6000 rpmMax Torque (Nm@rpm) :113 Nm @ 4200 rpm**ENGINE SPECIFICATION(NEXON PETROL)**ARAI Mileage :17.0 kmplFuel Type :PetrolEngine(cc) :1198Max Power :108.5bhp@5000rpmMax Torque :170****000rpmSeating :5**SUV have higher seating position and therefore offers a very commanding position,its has better visibility and thus gives greater confidence then the hatchback,resale value is the only issue with the tata nexon if u can overlook that, then its the NEXON u should go for. ...Read More 2 Reply

Rahul | 10 months ago Pre purchase, Both the cars are very good. I personally am never a Maruti man. Among the rest, in the category of compact sedan, Nexon had the best features and price comfort. So it was Nexon for me. Post purchase It's been 2000 kms and I am satisfied with the car. It's a high ground clearance car, unusual to the available cars. So initially one needs to be accustomed with the car, especially in city twists and turns. On the highway it's smooth. The music is good. Features and interiors in top variants are exceptional. Highly Recommended. But a thorough test drive is a must. ...Read More 1 Reply
Tata Nexon question

Q. What are the drawback of Nexon petrol version as compare of Baleno?

D | 4 days ago First You decide what would be the usage of the car. If You are going to use the car in City then buy the Baleno-easy to drive, Maruti service is good, very good resale value, feature loaded, awesome looks. it would an ideal choices if You are going to use it for your daily commutes in the City, it handles better on the highways, easy to park in tight parking spaces BLit if are going to use the car on bad roads then definitely the Nexon is a better pick-more ground clearance, better view of the roads, drive mode, big tyres so it will tackle All the roads pretty well. But, If You are going to use it in the City, on the highways , and of the roads as well, the the pick will be TATA NEXON. It may not be as convenient as the Baleno in the City but it is not bad either. The gear box of the Nexon makes it very drivable in the City(You can put Nexon in the Srd great and drive All day in the City) . Also the Nexon feels very planted on the highways (maybe not as good as baleno). Think it's unfair to compare these two vehicles. Baleno is after all a hatchback while the Nexon is a compact SUV. And they don't compete each other either. Tata doesn't have a mid level luxury hatchback in their product portfolio yet, but there are rumours that they'll have one in 2019, which as of now is called as the XB451 concept.From an enthusiast point of view, I think both of these cars have good characteristics to rule their respective segments. Nexon comes with the in-house built Revotron and the 1.5L diesel with considerable amount of power and the ruggedness that you can expect from an SUV. Though there are still questions about the after market service quality and resale values etc. especially when speaking about Tata Motors. Hopefully, they'll sort that out with their own version of premium outlets.Baleno on the other hand comes with three different configurations, the 1.2L petrol, 1.3L diesel and the 1.0L boostejet, the most powerful of which is the latter.Interior spaces and design are the modern and of equal quality for both the vehicles. Though one place the Baleno might have an edge now is the Automatic gearbox option. But I think even we'll an automatic gearbox in the Nexon as well sooner.If you really want to buy either of these, my suggestion will be to test drive both and take home the one that you felt is better for yourself.So the better pick is definitely the TATA NEXON ...Read More 1 Reply

Tata Nexon question

Q. Nexon petrol or Nexon diesel which variant to buy?

D | 4 days ago Cost of Petrol Vs Diesel CarThe diesel variant of cars cost more than the petrol variant. For cars which cost less than 10 Lakhs, the showroom price between diesel and petrol variants differs from 1 to 1.5 Lakhs. The difference in the on-road price of petrol and diesel car variants will be even more. This is because the cost of registration for the diesel car is more than that of the Petrol car; the difference is about 1 to 3% depending on the cost of the vehicle and the State where it is purchased.Petrol vs Diesel MileageThe mileage of the diesel engine is more than that of a Petrol engine. A diesel engine does not need a spark plug and thus has higher compression. This makes the diesel engine utilise more fuel as compared to a petrol engine. The better mileage of a diesel engine makes it easy to cover the extra cost of the car paid initially, but with increasing cost of cars, the time required to recover this cost has increased.Petrol vs Diesel PriceSince last one year, the prices of diesel and petrol have seen a big hike in India. In 2017, diesel price was 55.94 Rs. per litre which is now touching 74 Rs per litre. Whereas the petrol was at Rs. 66.91 which is now 82.16 Rs. per litre. The above statistics show that the difference between both is reducing day by day, as last year the difference in both was 11 Rs per litre, but now after one year, in 2018, the cost of diesel is just Rs. 8 less than that of petrol per litre and is further decreasing day by day. If this situation continues, soon we will see that there will be no price difference between Petrol and Diesel in the forthcoming years.Smooth DriveApart from a fact that diesel engines are more powerful than petrol engines, they also have a higher torque and hence they give a smoother drive. On the other hand, the harshness, noise, and vibrations in diesel driven cars are way higher than that of a petrol-driven car which is a big reason of concern. In petrol engines the power developed is low due to compression ratio whereas in diesel engines, the power is more.Petrol vs Diesel Car Maintenance Cost The maintenance cost of diesel cars is higher than petrol cars. This is because consumables like engine oil and spares used in diesel vehicles are more expensive. The resale value of a used diesel car is higher than that of a petrol car. However, the life of a petrol engine is more than a diesel engine. ...Read More 6 Reply

ISUZU D-MAX V-Cross question

Q. How is the on road and off road performance of ISUZU D-MAX V-CROSS PICK UP?

P | 4 weeks ago On Road: remember it is a big truck...5.3 m long (and if you have arb bumper add another 8-10inches) and a 2 ton vehicle..Note: this is an overlander vehicle and not an offroader To long for offroading...Thar or Gurkha is better It is extremely drivable...clutch is soft and smooth, steering is not heavy..brakes are good..though panic braking will make the 3 channel abs sweak a lot and scare both you and the people outside...(This is normal abs behavior) very quite for its size and power All around visibility is like a truck..there are blind spots..the A pillar is sure blind spot...front is okay..rear is clear on mirrors but side os a bit bad..you may like to install a 2 in blind spot mirrorDear is above average cars around..only commercial tucks are your competition Power: enough and more..no shortage of power however the gear ratios are biased towards the first gear..very high torque..but 2nd and 3rd are starved...if there was some here than in1st it would have been excellent in city traffic so in city one needs to be in lower gears..Warning Don't try to race an Innova or Fortuner..they have more power and torque...but if you are a better driver than a Then okay..Xuv at start will beat..but short distance from the start you will win..Going uphill on 1st..may lead to stalling of you don't know how to drive..remap solves some problems Ride: bumpy but not much..after all it is leaf spring in rear..a suspension change to ironman or oldman emu is a must Milage:heavy Bangalore kind city traffic 8.5 to9 highways anywhere from 12.5 to 31 Yes 31...if driven properly folks have averaged upto 31..though I will not recommend as you have bought truck and not a moped Minimal maintenance needs no need for oil catchOffroading...too long for offroading...too heavy...torque and power not sufficient..remap must..more skill required..But 8 out 10 situations it will sail through..16in RIM with 245 profile would be better..higher has impact on gear ratio and will make it bad..but a 245 looks very small... 275 on 16 looks ideal.. ...Read More 5 Reply

Zigwheels | 2 months ago This is a load-lugging motor, so no surprises why the engine follows a ‘torque-first’ philosophy. All 320Nm of the twisty goodness is delivered from just 1,800rpm, so the powertrain needs nearly no revs to get moving even in 2nd gear and also offers impeccable in-gear acceleration. This makes city driving a breeze, with the engine egging you on to upshift early. The clutch pedal feels amazingly light to use too.The best part is, while like the MU-7, the D-Max V-Cross is solar-system-big, its proportions are backed up by actual off-road ability, thanks to the shift-on-the-fly 4x4 system with low-range. Throw in the 225mm of ground clearance and you might find yourself looking for a challenge to tackle even in regular settings. However, the approach and departure angles aren’t ideal for hardcore off-roading. The V-Cross is more practical than purpose-built off-roaders, but that does come with an understandable compromise on the go-anywhere factor. That said, the modification prospects are aplenty and a little tinkering can enhance the V-Cross’s appeal both mechanically and cosmetically. ...Read More 3 Reply
Honda BRV question

Q. Which car I should go for and why, Maruti Ertiga or Honda BRV?

Israr | 1 month ago That's a tough one but as i have driven both cars and own one i think o might help you differentiate between this two and hopefully give you some basis to make your decisionSo let's start with the obvious differenceThat is brv is an old car and new ertiga is just a few months old in the marketErtiga is cheaper than brv and basically both are mpvs but i think brv is more of an estate car than a suv/mpv so brv handles a lot better than ertiga and ride quality is pretty neutral not too stiff nor too soft so because its suspension is setup in such a way brv's high-speed stability is really good, ertiga it rides good its ride quality is more in the softer side which is comfortable in city but on highway after certain speed rear of the car feels bouncy but if the car is loaded with passengers then it won't experience that on highway, since brv is older than ertiga got lot more features than brv, whereas for brv you can opt for optional touchscreen infotainment system with apple car play and Android auto for any variant whereas high features list on ertiga is limited to top two trim levels sk you have to pay a lot to get more, ertiga is slightly more spacious than brv but brv's 3rd row seating is more usable and even 2 adults can sit there for small journeys whereas ertiga 3rd row is limited for children only, now perfomance ertiga comes with 1.5-litre petrol engine which develops about 100 hp and 132nm of Torque and diesel engine of 1.3 litre develops 88hp and 200nm of Torque, so car would struggle to keep the pace up when its filled with passengers and their luggage on other side brv comes with legendary 1.5-litre vtec engine that develops 120 hp and 145nm of Torque and this engine is riot to drive it keeps pulling towards it redline like crazy acceleration is really good for car of this size and other engine that comes with brv is 1.5-litre diesel that's not so legendary and makes about 100 hp and 200 nm of Torque its a good engine but its loud and not refined. Well basically ertiga lies in the lower category to brv which will cost you about 13 lacs on road for top trim and brvs top trim will costs you about 15 lacs on road. In short ertiga is no more a cheap alternative to Toyota innova its now more capable more good looking and packed with decent features, whereas brv mpv that drives like a Sedan accelerates and handles as good as a Sedan and yes can sit 7 passengers for long trips without tiring any of with its easy drive ability. I would suggest if you want a proper 7 seater and occasionally take it on highway then close your eyes and buy ertiga in an heart but if like cruising on highways and go on to rough roads where not many cars can go and sit 7 passengers then brv is definitely one to consider but of you need a proper Suv and seats for 7 then there are other alternatives for example Tata hexa brilliant suv brilliant off roader, or xuv500 decent Suv with decent off roading capabilities. ...Read More 9 Reply
