It’s been six years since Ford launched the Fiesta in the Indian market. Initially launched as a premium sedan, the Fiesta found many takers due to its quality interiors, an efficient diesel motor and a very peppy petrol engine. However, the competition was quick enough to catch-up and the plunging sales meant Ford finally went ahead and chopped the sticker price by a huge margin and re-named it the Fiesta Classic. In fact, the Fiesta Classic’s price tag is slightly cheaper than what the original Fiesta carried when it was launched way back in 2005! With the Classic, Ford has also made way for the all-new Fiesta.

Mitsubishi TritonThe Mitsubishi Triton is a truck, so don’t expect for car-like driving or handling. But, the vehicle is still reasonably comfortable for a workhouse. The Triton still has its bouncy ride, big clunky, tire and engine noise. The performance is trusted to 3.2-liter diesel which is absolutely good and has incredible pull. However, the truck rattles like a bastard when driving at low speeds. The petrol six cylinder is excellent though is outdone by those using big diesel.

Mitsubishi Triton doesn’t feel like a passenger vehicle

Mitsubishi builds the Triton in a strange way. The Triton looks little bit weird due to the presentation of curves and sloping lines that actually don’t belong on a workhouse. The presentation is backed up by sufficient quality to meet the customer demand. The Triton is pretty good for a transport. It doesn’t feel like a passenger vehicle, but the interior arrangement is better than those you would find in most commercial cars. The handling will give you problem in the first one or two driving experience. It is no surprise at all that the Triton does not like passing fast the corners.

In terms of practicality, the Mitsubishi Triton will be dependent on your use. You should remember that the Triton is a truck. Then, if you need to transport lots and drag big things, this vehicle is perfectly practical for your sake. You have your crew cab if you want to carry some passengers. The Mitsubishi Triton is sold at reasonable price in terms of fuel consumption in a comparison to other commercial vehicles.

Toyota first showcased the Etios Liva at the 2010 Auto Expo in New Delhi. Since then, the hatchback has generated enough feedback from prospective customers and ever since the Etios sedan was rolled out, we were waiting patiently for its hatchback sibling. However, due to the Tsunami in Japan, there happened to be a delay in the launch of the car but finally today, ie, on 27th June, the Japanese giant officially revealed the Liva hatchback to the public including its pricing. Like is the case with the Swift and Swift Dzire, or Indica and the Indigo, the Etios Liva too looks exactly like the Etios sedan though without the boot. Further, the Liva’s wheelbase is shorter by 90mm. The overall paint quality and fit and finish on the outside is superb.

Jaguar XJ13If the sole criteria to select the label of greatest Jaguar ever is rarity, the judgment will be simply matter. That is because there is only one XJ13 in this universe. Thanks to Malcolm Sayer, an aerodynamicist, who made this car as one of the most gorgeous racing cars of all time. A combination of jaw-dropping presentation and exclusivity has labeled mythical status among fan.

Built as a prospective rival of Le Mans, its production was second place to road car manufacture, and by the time the Jaguar XJ13 was completed, its design was out of date compared to new cars such as Ford’s GT40. Thus, the automaker decided to mothball the XJ13 project and the car never raced. The cancellation didn’t cease people to respect this prototype engine. The car with 5.0-liter V12 engine producing 502 bhp assisted famous test driver Norman Dewis to do the MIRA test track at over 161 mph in the year of 1966.

Unfortunately, XJ13 crashed heavily in 1971 when lapping for filming purposes on the same track. A wheel broke when speeding up more than 140 mph sending the XJ13 to retirement. After undergoing a thorough restoration, this mighty kit is still in complete working order. Now, the Jaguar XJ13 is the pride of the Jaguar Heritage collection in Coventry. You should experience the vibrations and the roar of V12 engine to believe the legendary feel. The automaker learned a lot in the development of this Jaguar XJ13, and applied the lessons to their production of the famous Jaguar’s V12.

2011 Hyundai i20When speaking of a supermini, it is simple to forget Hyundai for the major producers. But, that should be an old story, because recent years, the company has been creating a portfolio of small cars which are well equipped in European style, and won’t break the bank.

Now, the South Korean automaker has added the Hyundai i20 to its portfolio a supermini that dazzles its competitors, including Toyota Yaris, Vauxhall Corsa, Volkswagen Polo and rightly so.

The Hyundai i20 substitutes the Getz in its line-up. Compared to its previous model, the i20 has longer and wider dimension and sits lower than the outgoing model. This refinement makes this recent model sleeker and less utilitarian. Hyundai has come out with longer wheelbase for both inside and out.

The front end emphasizes the trademark of the new line-up presentation with a neat upper front grille. This section is topped with a large logo and chrome trim. Trapezoidal grille lays deep down forming a background for the number of plate. The fog lamp is inserted in either side with a move towards that echoes the teardrop headlights. Slim wheel arches are functioned to highlight the strong line that runs backward, curving downwards to the rear before blending into the chunky rear bumper.

The rear light clusters are wrapped around, signifying a change in plane on the rear hatch when it cuts into the bumper. The rake of rear ends grants modern look and wider appearance than Hyundai Getz.
Customers have six exterior colors and 5-door or 3-door model to choose. The car costs you from £8,645 (OTR).
