Petrol or diesel?
All diesel versions
In real world conditions, I believe it is the Swift Dzire. Claimed mileages might be different, but the new Swift Dzire is even lighter than the old one. The diesel engine of the Dzire is also probably the most reliable and hassle free diesel engine in India. On highway, however, the Verna both 1.4 and 1.6 with its six gears is likely to match or…[Read more]
The Swift Dzire, by virtue of being the lightest of them all. However, on the highway, if you exceed speeds of 100kmph on the Dzire, the fuel efficiency drops to second sport behind the Fiesta.
its only dzire. I am getting 23 kmpl with AC on. sometime u may get 28 without AC on long highway run.
Dzire is definitely the most fuel efficient. Fiesta comes in next.
I believe in India, if an SUV and a sedan (same number of seats) are priced similarly, people would go for the SUV more than the sedan. Mostly because SUVs and their tall stance is more practical on bad roads, and secondly because SUVs may have quite a bit of boot space in the back. And SUV is more macho etc. sedans are considered more classy, so…[Read more]
But sir dont you think SUV needs more maintenance as compared to sedans and the cost of the spares and parts of the SUV’s are costlier than the sedans.

well may be duster and eco sport may have 4×4 ability, its still not confirmed.
true. duster will be slightly more expensive 2 maintain, but like the figo ford will make it relatively cheap.
The Aria is way to big to be a CS. Just the bonnet seems to be a good 2 meters long :p As far as the Manza Marina goes, every estate car launched in India has been a sales dud. I dont see this trend changing. Btw, a Manza CS is in the making.
second you on the fate of estate cars so far. but i strongly feel tata should make a compact SUV. at least from their old sierra.
Manza CS is 1 to look out for. they should integrate boot with rear and give it an integrated look… like chevrolet did with their SRV few years ago..
@Zeeti Gugal, the success of Indigo CS and new compact Dzire hints that people buy cars with stubby boot, hence Manza CS will likely be successful if it comes with a stubby boot instead of SRV type body ..
