2019 Bajaj Dominar 400 deliveries begin
Just about a month after its reveal, dealerships across the country have started receiving the 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400 for deliveries. While Bajaj is yet to reveal prices, dealers we spoke to have mentioned that the updated Dominar will cost Rs 1.74 lakh (ex-showroom Pune) and Rs 2.16 lakh (on-road). The updates come at a reasonable hike of about Rs 11,000 over the previous-gen Dominar 400's ex-showroom price of Rs 1.63 lakh.
According to dealers, the new Dominar is available in two colour schemes – Auroral Green, and an all-black colour identical to the Rock Matte Black option on the older bike.
The bike gets substantial updates to the engine, suspension and more. It now uses a 373cc DOHC motor instead of a SOHC unit. The switch comes with a bump in power – peak power has gone up from 35hp at 8,000rpm to 40hp at 8,650rpm. Peak torque, meanwhile, remains unchanged at 35Nm but comes in at 7,000rpm – 500rpm higher than on the older bike. The other significant change is to the suspension. The conventional telescopic fork has been replaced with an upside-down unit and Bajaj has also revised the monoshock, improving the overall ride quality.
Bajaj’s flagship power-cruiser also features a revised instrument cluster. The secondary display on the tank is a more advanced unit that displays gear position, trip meters and more, while the primary display now conveys information (like mileage per litre) and warnings (like side-stand down) in text form. Also new is a twin-exit exhaust that produces a much throatier sound.
Dealers that we spoke with have told us that the 2019 Bajaj Dominar will be sold alongside the older model, but is likely to be done only until stocks last.
The 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400 continues to be a strong value proposition and undercuts its rivals – like the BMW G310R, TVS Apache RR 310, the newly launched Honda CB300R, the KTM 250 Duke and 390 Duke – by a fair margin.

Next-gen Nissan Sunny global unveil on April 12, 2019
Nissan is gearing up to launch the next-gen Sunny sedan in the international market on April 12, 2019. The new Sunny is a global model and is sold in many countries as the Almera or the Versa. It is going to be loosely based on the Nissan Lannia sedan that’s already on sale in China, and although the new Sunny will take design cues from it, the car will get a more conventional rear door and boot design to bring it more in line with the company’s current-gen sedans sold abroad.
The next-gen Sunny is likely to be 680mm longer than the current Micra hatchback, similar to how the previous Sunny was 630mm longer than the previous Micra hatchback. We expect the new Sunny to come with a 2,700mm wheelbase, which will be around 175mm longer than that of the Micra.
Mechanically, Nissan is expected to power the new Sunny with its 1.6-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine that is good for around 114hp, similar to the Kicks sold in the international market.
Design wise, the next-gen Sunny will be based on the updated V platform that also underpins the large Nissan Note hatchback and the Kicks SUV sold abroad, not to be mistaken with the India-spec Kicks that shares underpinnings with other Renault-Nissan models. The Sunny being tested abroad gets a sculpted look up front, with a large V-motion grille that merges well with the front bumper. It also sports new headlights that are sharply styled and blend in with a chrome grille outline, similar to the one seen on the Nissan Kicks. On the side, it features a large glasshouse with a large rear door, just like the outgoing model. The production-spec Sunny is also expected to feature a floating roof design.
On the inside, the next-gen Sunny will share a lot of components like steering wheel, seats, dashboard and other bits with the Nissan Micra and Kicks.
Nissan has made no announcement regarding its plan on bringing the next-gen Sunny sedan to India, at this point. However, Nissan has recently launched the Kicks SUV in the Indian market and has priced it from Rs 9.55 lakh to Rs 14.65 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Mercedes-AMG A35 sedan revealed
Mercedes-Benz has just revealed the AMG A35 sedan, which, in essence, is a sporty version of the regular A-class sedan. The A35 is the German carmaker’s newest entry-level performance sedan and is positioned below the AMG’s C43 sedan in the international market.
It is powered by the same 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine seen in the A35 hatchback that produces 306hp and 400Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and power is sent to all four wheels via Mercedes’ 4-Matic all-wheel-drive system. According to AMG, the A35 sedan can do 0-100kph in 4.8sec, just 0.1sec slower than the hatchback, while top speed is electronically limited to 250kph.
On the design front, the A35 sedan features a front end similar to the A35 hatchback and comes with enlarged air intakes, front splitter and gets 18-inch alloy wheels as standard. It also features a liftback look at the rear, with an aggressive rear diffuser and twin-exhaust system. An optional AMG aerodynamics package tweaks the front splitter and adds a rear lip spoiler.
The interior is equipped with Mercedes’ MBUX multimedia system, along with a fully digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen under one piece of glass. The instrument cluster can be customised with different modes, including Supersport mode that adds AMG-specific data such as G-Force readings and track telemetry. The car also gets AMG sports seats in the front. An AMG performance steering wheel (same as the one seen on the AMG C63) is available as an optional extra.
Mercedes has made no announcement regarding an India launch for the sporty AMG A-class sedan, though the standard A-class sedan is being considered for a 2020-21 launch. The German carmaker has also recently launched the C43 Coupe in India at Rs 75 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The C43 Coupe is powered by a 3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged V6 engine.

Review: 2018 Volkswagen Passat long term review, second report
In the last Passat report, Hormazd mentioned I was planning a quick trip to Goa in it, and he was right. Thanks to all the praise about the car’s long-distance touring abilities, I knew this had to be my next ride to Goa. And, this time around, my mother-in-law was to accompany us; so a car with comfy seats, a decent ride and a safe and secure feeling would trump a powerful engine and sharp handling.
And then, when handing over the key, Hormazd also laid down a small challenge – “Try and do 1,000km on one tank. I managed 900.” If I pull this off, it would mean getting five people to Goa in absolute comfort would be far cheaper than us eating out; I was sold. It would be a challenge though; we would be five people plus luggage but at the same time quite doable especially with the route I always take – Pune Expressway and NH48.
My mother-in-law, however, dropped out, but we were still four plus all our luggage. So the first challenge was fitting it all in and the Passat managed it quite easily. At 586 litres, the boot is large, wide and free of intrusions. Next was getting everyone comfy, and no problem here too – there’s ample space and the seats are really a standout; they’re nicely contoured and have excellent cushioning.
Settled in, it was time now for the big challenge – 1,000km on one tank. We were leaving at 9:30am, so while it wouldn’t be a traffic-free run, being a Sunday, traffic would be light. And to make things more interesting, I decide not to use the Eco drive mode and stick with Normal; if I average 17kpl, the 66-litre tank should get me a little over 1,100km.
The drive is pretty easy and traffic is light, however my plan of sticking with Normal mode is soon in trouble – trucks on the Lonavala ghat meant I had to move to Sport to get past them. The benefit here is a little less body roll thanks to the adjustable dampers that alter firmness along with the drive modes. So this remains the plan of action for most of the drive – ‘Normal’ in all cases and Sport only to quickly get past slow traffic.
I’m not really light-footing it but using lift and coast effectively, and at the halfway mark, things are looking pretty good. 300km done and only about a quarter of a tank of fuel used – at this rate I would be at home in Goa on just half a tank of gas. However, when we do reach, we’ve used just a little over the halfway mark; Belgaum city and Chorla ghat do take a slight toll. Still we’ve covered 637km with the range still showing another 460km! The 1,000km challenge should be met thanks to Goa’s light traffic and, a few days later, on our way back to Bombay, we are on target to do about 1,050km! However, I calculate the reserve section would be somewhere in the ghats, and so I have fill up early.
The Passat has pulled off an amazing feat – an average of 17.7kpl for four people plus luggage, and without using Eco mode even once. For a car this size, it’s simply superb. And as for the nickname, I’m thinking ‘Dreamliner’, because like Boeing’s aircraft, the Passat is efficient, has a great range, and is very comfortable inside – the perfect long-haul craft.

Next-gen Honda Jazz world premier at Tokyo Motor Show 2019
The next-gen Honda Jazz has been undergoing road testing since some time in Europe and North America. The new model is expected to be shown for the first time at the Tokyo Motor Show 2019 slated to take place in October this year. It will get an all-new design with larger and more squarish headlights that feature daytime running lamps and LED projector lenses.
The overall design language of the new Jazz is expected to look more rounded and will feature styling cues seen on the newer Honda models like the Accord and even the Amaze. At the back, the Jazz gets horizontally positioned wraparound tail-lamps with LED elements. The new car seems to be styled like the Mercedes-Benz B-class when viewed from the rear three quarters.
The next-gen Jazz will be 3,990mm in length, and that means it will qualify for the excise benefits in India just like the current model. Honda will, however, increase the car’s width in order to facilitate more room in the cabin and boot.
Under the hood, Honda is likely to introduce a two-motor hybrid setup, similar to the one in the latest-gen Accord. There will also be conventional engines on offer, including the 1.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged motor that does duty in the Civic hatchback sold internationally.
Expect more details to trickle in as the launch nears.

It was accompanied by the vanilla P30 and plenty of gadgets, while their more affordable sibling P30 Lite silently started popping up in random markets.

Ever since the return of Nokia under HMD Global ownership in the beginning of 2017, everyone's been asking where the proper flagship is.

Hyundai Venue to get class-leading connectivity features
That the upcoming Hyundai Venue compact SUV will be big on features has already been documented. However, an area where Hyundai wants to completely leapfrog rivals is in-car connectivity. The carmaker has released details of the Venue’s connectivity features that are part of Hyundai’s global Blue Link technology. The ‘Smart Connected SUV’, as Hyundai calls it, will get 33 connectivity features, of which 10 have been developed specifically for India. The system will use an embedded Vodafone Idea SIM card and will also include cloud-based services. Blue Link is far more comprehensive than Hyundai India’s current Auto Link technology that provides info on vehicle health and driving behaviour.
Safety features on Hyundai Blue Link include Auto Crash Notification (similar to Ford’s Emergency Assistance System) that will automatically notify emergency services (with GPS coordinates) in the case of a collision. Further, a button on the Hyundai’s internal rear-view mirror can also be pressed to trigger an SOS message, summon roadside assistance or send a panic notification to registered family members or friends. Blue Link also allows for remote monitoring of the vehicle’s security. In the event the vehicle is stolen, the owner will be notified automatically and will have the option to remotely immobilise the vehicle. Users can also track their Venue at all times via GPS and can set up the system to receive alerts when the car exceeds a certain speed or even leaves a pre-set area (via geo-fencing). These features are sure to be of interest for owners looking to keep a close watch on their chauffeurs or even children’s use of the car.
Hyundai says it has partnered with a global mapping firm for real-time traffic updates and live car tracking. A ‘Find my car’ option will also lead you to your vehicle; handy if you’ve forgotten where you’ve parked. It will also be possible to feed a destination to the car direct from your phone or remotely from a call centre. A few convenience functions have also been bundled in. Owners can remotely switch their car on and also start the climate control system via an app – a smart way to pre-cool (or pre-warm) your car in India’s extreme weather.
And what promises to make the whole system that crucial bit more user-friendly is an AI-based voice recognition software that Hyundai claims will understand Indian accents. Hyundai has stated it will roll out the Blue Link technology on other models in India soon.
The Hyundai Venue will be revealed on April 17, 2019, and it will go on sale in May. Given the features and technology on offer, the Venue is unlikely to come cheap. Expect pricing at par with the Mahindra XUV300 and Ford EcoSport.

Jawa and Jawa Forty Two deliveries begin
After what might seem like an eternity, you will finally be able to see a Jawa motorcycle on the open road. Classic Legends, the company that resurrected the Jawa brand has commenced deliveries of its motorcycles today. The motorcycles are being delivered as per the sequence of bookings that started online on November 15, 2018.
A recent tweet by Anupam Thareja, co-founder, Classic Legends, revealed that deliveries of the Jawa and the Forty Two will commence in the last week of March; and it seems things are going as per plan. The Jawa network currently consists of 95 dealerships across 77 cities – just five short of its initial target of having 100 operational dealerships by the third week of March.
The company also announced a motorcycle exchange program through Mahindra First Choice Wheels that will allow customers to exchange any old bike for a new Jawa. Making the Jawa motorcycles more accessible to its customers are the brand’s financial tie-ups with multiple banks.
Yesterday, Jawa conducted an auction to raise funds for the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund run by the Kendriya Sainik Board, Ministry of Defence, for educating the children of martyrs from the Indian Armed Forces. Bidders got to choose a chassis number between 1 and 100 for select motorcycles that have a tricolour livery on the tank and a custom monogrammed fuel-tank cap with the owner’s name. Chassis number 001 was auctioned for Rs 45 lakh and total proceedings from the auction were a little over Rs 1.43 crore.
Jawa currently has two motorcycles on sale – the Jawa and the Forty Two. Both motorcycles are powered a 293cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, DOHC engine that produces 27hp and 28Nm of peak torque. The single-channel ABS version of the bikes are priced at Rs 1.64 lakh for the Jawa while the Forty Two has a price tag of Rs 1.55 lakh. The dual-channel ABS variants are priced at Rs 1.72 lakh and Rs 1.63 lakh, respectively.

Weekly poll results: tablets are still relevant, but people rarely upgrade
While not a hot topic, tablets are still relevant - most people in last week's poll cast a positive vote. The three options are nearly even and while "No" has a lead of a few percentage points, "Yes" and "Somewhat" add up to a majority over 60%. Going through the comments makes things pretty clear - most people use tablets for media consumption. An old tablet performs this task just as well as a new one, especially if (as many of you recommend) you shell out for a high-end tablet once and keep it for many years. Upgrading in a year or two rarely brings a meaningful improvement to screen...

Skoda Kodiaq-based pickup concept in the works
Students at the Skoda Vocational School for Mechanical Engineering (located at Skoda’s Mlada Boleslav base), will be making a one-off pickup truck as a part of their annual hands-on student project. This project will be produced by a team thirty-five students (aged between 17 and 21), including six women and will be guided by experts from Skoda. This pickup truck concept will be the sixth concept model to be developed under the Skoda Student Concept Car project.
Skoda provided the students with a Kodiaq SUV as a base for this two-door pickup truck concept. So far only a sketch for the pickup has been released, but it shows the concept will feature large off-road tyres, along with restyled bodywork with a series of sharp edges. The Kodiaq’s cabin will be shortened and end behind the front seats, while the rear area of the SUV will be replaced with what appears to be a relatively small pick-up bed.
Previous creations from the Skoda Student Concept Car project include a Citigo-based Citijet, a Fabia pickup, a coupe reworking of the Rapid Spaceback, an electric Citigo concept and a Karoq-based convertible called the Sunroq.
For the Indian market, Skoda will be bringing at least two new cars to begin with under its India 2.0 project – the India-spec Skoda Kamiq and a Skoda Rapid replacement. The SUV and the sedan will be underpinned by the India-specific MQB A0 IN platform, which will be shared with the VW T-Cross SUV and a replacement for the Volkswagen Vento.

Review: Rynox Optimus M tank bag v2 review
Making motorcycle commuting even more convenient is a constant quest, and a few crucial items of riding paraphernalia can make a world of a difference. Not being a bare-necessities type of individual, I find myself riding to work with more than just a wallet and a mobile phone. Now, I could cram my worldly belongings into a large backpack and risk looking like an Everest base-camper but it’s just such a pain in the... back. Thankfully, something called the Rynox Optimus M V2 tank bag exists. I’ve been a fan for years, having borrowed one previously, but now I’ve bought one of my own – and it’s an absolute steal, at Rs 3,550.
This bag features a total of four zippered enclosures on the outside, plus one for the rain cover, and has a total cargo volume of 25 litres. A zippered extender at the base raises capacity (and the height) to 31 litres, and the zip-up detachable base converts it from a snug magnetic tank bag (or a tailbag, even) to a backpack, with two cleverly integrated shoulder straps.
If the five strong magnets somehow don’t suffice (they work just fine for me, at either extreme of loading capacity), Rynox does provide two under-tank quick-release straps with the bag; but having carelessly burnt one on a hot cylinder head at a fuel stop in the past, I no longer feel compelled to use them. The anti-scratch, anti-skid base fabric keeps your tank free of scuffs and, having tried it over a long stint with the Interceptor, I can vouch for it. The red interior is lined well (nothing fancy) and features two compression straps which you can buckle up to hold luggage down. Lastly, the YKK zippers and 3M reflective strips down the sides are certainly value-adds – as if the Optimus M V2 really needed any more!
With robust build quality, smart features and that terrific price tag, this tank bag is perfect for those of you who like to travel with everything short of the kitchen sink.

New BMW i4 official winter testing images released
BMW has released images that show the upcoming i4 electric sedan undergoing cold-weather testing alongside the upcoming iNext and iX3 electric SUVs. The iX3, based on the latest X3, is due to launch in 2020, followed by the standalone iNext, a year later, and the 4 Series-based new i4 a year later.
BMW has said that the tests taking place at its cold-weather testing facility in Arjeplog, Sweden, are set to determine the durability of the models' batteries, electric motors and suspension systems. The carmaker's rival to the Tesla Model 3 has a claimed range of over 600km and a 0-100kph time of 4sec with a 200kph top speed.
There is a direct visual link between the i4 and the latest 3 Series; and it will share much of its design with the upcoming second-gen 4 Series sedan. A side-on view of the electric sedan reveals that it seems to be higher off the ground that the current-gen 4 Series, both in terms of roof height and ground clearance. This suggests a raised floor to accommodate a sizeable long-range battery. Other tell-tale signs that this is the i4 include a blanked-off front grille, fake 'exhausts' in the disguise and legally mandated 'electric test vehicle' stickers.
The i4 has been scheduled to be built on the same line as the standard 3 Series models at BMW's factory in Munich, Germany. To ensure a smooth production process alongside existing petrol, diesel and hybrid models, the German car manufacturer is already running assembly tests with pre-production versions of the model.
Talking about the i4, BMW AG chairman and CEO Harald Krüger said, “The leading factors that will set it apart are fantastic design, which is very different to anything else on the road, and the fact that it is lighter and therefore more dynamic than anything we see on the market today, thanks to the materials we will use. Couple that with the connectivity technology we are constantly developing and we are confident it will lead the market.”
Sources suggest that BMW i4 is being considered for two drivetrain options for the i4. The first is one that uses a front-mounted electric motor in combination with a fixed-ratio gearbox and an electric propeller shaft to channel drive to the rear wheels. This layout would give the i4 traditional BMW traits and, according to one source, the best possible weight distribution. The second, and more costly option, uses two electric motors – one driving the front wheels and a second within the rear-axle assembly that drives the rear wheels.
Similar to the system set to appear on the iX3, the i4 offers the choice between front and four-wheel drive, depending on the drive mode that is selected. To achieve performance targets similar to those of the current 335d, BMW is banking on a total output for the electric motor set-up of the i4, whether as a single unit or dual units (front and rear) of approximately 355hp.
At a board meeting held earlier this year, BMW’s top management initiated an accelerated development of both long-range plug-in hybrids and electric models in anticipation of stricter emissions norms in the EU by 2030. At the 2018 Paris motor show, in conversation with our sister publication, Autocar UK, Krüger confirmed the altered i-division plan. The new plan now plans to offer more electric cars than any rival premium brand in the short term, and calls for the introduction of up to five dedicated i models by the end of 2021. After this, tentative steps will be taken to expand to 12 electric models within the whole BMW Group – including Mini and Rolls-Royce – by 2025. Krüger has also green-lit 25 new plug-in hybrid models to be introduced by 2025.
Among the models at the centre of BMW’s electrification strategy lies a further-developed version of the constantly evolving i3, the Mini SE, the iX3 and the i4. BMW will follow that with a more advanced range of premium electric cars employing solid-state batteries and autonomous driving features – as previewed on the recently shown iNext concept car.

TVS Victor SBT priced from Rs 54,682
With CBS/ABS mandatory for all two-wheelers manufactured in India from April 1, 2019, two-wheeler companies are pulling out all the stops to equip their models with the appropriate safety system. The most recent to join this list of motorcycles is the TVS Victor that now gets Synchronized Braking Technology (SBT) – the bike maker’s term for a linked braking system that improves the braking by partially distributing it to the front when the rear brake lever is pressed. The TVS Victor SBT is available in two variants – drum, that costs Rs 54,682 and a disc variant that carries a price tag of Rs. 56,682. The disc variant is also available in a Premium Edition that costs Rs. 57,662. The update comes at a minimal price hike of Rs 640 over the non-SBT bikes.
Added benefits of the premium edition are chrome finishes on the side cover and crash guard while the engine cover gets a golden case. The Premium Edition also features a dual-tone seat that’s available in four colours – Black Gold, Red Gold, Matte Blue and Matte Silver. Colour schemes on the standard bike are Blissful Blue, Generous Grey, Beatific Black Silver, Restful Red and Balanced Black Red. The Victor also gets LED DRLs.
TVS has confirmed that there are no technical changes to the motorcycle other than the inclusion of SBT. The TVS Victor continues to be powered by a 110cc, single-cylinder that makes 9.5hp at 7,500rpm and 9.4Nm of torque at 6,000rpm.

2019 Bajaj Dominar to be priced at Rs 1.74 lakh
According to dealer sources, the 2019 Bajaj Dominar will be priced at Rs 1.74 lakh. This makes the new model cost around Rs 11,000 more than the current bike that’s priced at Rs 1.63 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom, Delhi). The flagship offering from Bajaj has received quite a substantial update for 2019, with changes to the engine, suspension and more.
To begin with, it now gets a DOHC motor, replacing the SOHC unit. Along with this there is also a power bump – peak power has gone up from 35hp at 8,000rpm to 40hp at 8,650rpm. Peak torque, meanwhile, remains unchanged at 35Nm but comes in at 7,000rpm – 500rpm higher than on the older bike. The second biggest change is the updated suspension, where the conventional telescopic fork has been replaced with an upside-down unit, improving the ride quality significantly. Another contributor to the nicer ride is the revised monoshock.
Bajaj’s flagship also features an updated instrument cluster. While, at first glance, the layout and appearance of the instrumentation may look just like that of the older model, it now has a secondary display on the tank, in place of the warning lights. It is a more advanced unit that displays gear position, trip meters and more, while the primary display now conveys information (like mileage per litre) and warnings (like side-stand down) in text form.
The exhaust has also been updated and now sports a twin-exit end can, which produces a slightly louder note. Lastly, for 2019, the Bajaj Dominar also gets a bright new colour scheme called Auroral Green.
At this price point, the 2019 Bajaj Dominar 400 continues to be a strong value proposition and it still handsomely undercuts the rest of its rivals – like the BMW G310R, TVS Apache RR 310, the newly launched Honda CB300R and its own cousins, the KTM 250 Duke and 390 Duke.

New Ford Puma SUV to sit above the EcoSport
Ford is readying an all-new SUV for the global markets that it will be positioned above the EcoSport – the brand’s smallest SUV. This new SUV is likely to be around 4.2m-long and will take on the likes of the Volkswagen T-Roc. Expected to be called the Ford Puma, this new SUV will sit on the latest-gen Fiesta’s underpinnings and will be built at the company’s plant in Craiova, in Romania, which also produces the EcoSport, according to analyst firm Inovev. This new SUV is likely to see a global unveil next week at an event in Amsterdam.
With this new SUV, Ford aims to attract those want a crossover-style SUV that is larger than the EcoSport but smaller than a Kuga. The new Ford Puma is likely to come with a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The model will share quite a few of its underpinnings, along with engine and gearboxes, with the latest-gen Fiesta hatchback.
Closer to home, Ford is readying an all-new C-segment SUV with Mahindra that is likely to see a market launch sometime around end of next year.

BMW may buy Honda’s UK factory
BMW is experiencing a booming demand for its X1 SUV, among other models, as a result of which it is looking at transferring more car production to the UK. According to our sister publication, Autocar UK’s, sources, the German carmaker is considering taking over the Honda plant in Swindon.
The Honda factory is currently scheduled to close in 2021 when production of the Civic ends, but sources understand that BMW is in discussions to take on the site after that date. BMW sources have refused to comment.
There are a number of reasons that BMW is said to be looking closely at expanding its operation in the UK, including the highly integrated production system already in place here.
BMW builds Minis, which are based on the UKL1 transverse-engine platform, at Oxford, using engines from its Hams Hall plant near Birmingham and body panels from its pressing plant near Swindon.
Currently, BMW also contracts Mini production to the VDL Nedcar factory in the Netherlands. Last year, VDL said output rocketed from 1,69,000 cars in 2017 to more than 2,00,000, due to the launch of the new BMW X1 that’s based on the same architecture as the Mini family.
Demand for the X1 is very strong, accounting for more than 13 percent of all global BMW sales. Autocar UK recently revealed that some 1 Series production could be moved to the UK, a car BMW sold around 2,00,000 units of globally last year.
Another clue that BMW is preparing to re-allocate UKL production appears on the VDL company website, where it states it expects fewer orders from BMW next year and, perhaps, in the years beyond that. The company has reduced its flexible workforce by more than 1,000 employees.
BMW has also obtained outline planning permission to extend its Swindon pressing facility.
BMW insiders remain tight-lipped, admitting only that “some reorganisation” is being considered at Mini Oxford.
With BMW selling around 6,87,000 UKL1-based cars last year – made up of the 1 Series, 2 Series, Mini, X1 and X2 – basing much of this in one place would make huge financial sense, as well reducing the length of supply lines post-Brexit.
Autocar UK understands the Oxford plant is currently running flat out, hitting a daily production rate of 1,100 cars.

Maruti Suzuki Ciaz 1.5 diesel vs rivals: Price, mileage per litre comparison
Maruti Suzuki has been working on developing its own in-house diesel engines for a while now, and has finally introduced its new 1.5-litre four-cylinder diesel under the hood of the Ciaz. This, however, isn’t Maruti’s first in-house diesel – the brand previously offered a 793cc two-cylinder unit under the hood of the Celerio, though it pulled the plug on said diesel model a while back.
The new Maruti Ciaz 1.5 diesel – the DDiS 225, with the number representing the car’s torque figure – is priced from Rs 9.97 lakh and goes up to Rs 11.37 lakh for the top-end diesel (ex-showroom, Delhi). As reported by us previously, there is no entry-level Sigma variant on offer with the diesel range; it starts from the Delta trim. Spec-to-spec, prices have risen by about Rs 17,000 for the lower-spec Delta trim and by about Rs 35,000 for the top-spec Alpha variant, compared to the outgoing 1.3-litre diesel-equipped model.
Compared to the old Fiat-sourced, 1.3-litre diesel engine-equipped model, the new 1.5 diesel in the Maruti Ciaz develops 5hp and 25Nm more. The DDiS 225 unit is good for 95hp and 225Nm of torque. The new engine also features a new gearbox, with the old 5-speed manual replaced by a new 6-speed unit. Compared to its rivals, the Ciaz 1.5 diesel still has the smallest horsepower figure, though it sits above the Honda City diesel in terms of torque.
Here is how the new Maruti Suzuki Ciaz DDiS 225 diesel fares against its rivals:
| Powertrain | ||||||
| Ciaz 1.3 (Old) | Ciaz 1.5 (New) | Verna | City | Vento | Rapid | |
| Displacement | 1.3-litre | 1.5-litre | 1.6-litre | 1.5-litre | 1.5-litre | 1.5-litre |
| Type | 4 cyls | 4 cyls | 4 cyls | 4 cyls | 4 cyls | 4 cyls |
| Power | 90hp at 4000rpm | 95hp at 4000rpm | 128hp at 3000rpm | 100hp at 3600rpm | 110hp at 4000rpm | 110hp at 4000rpm |

| Gearbox | 5-speed manual | 6-speed manual | 6-speed manual/automatic | 6-speed manual | 5-speed manual/7-speed automatic | 5-speed manual/7-speed automatic |
| Fuel economy (ARAI) | 28.09kpl | 26.82kpl | 24.75 kpl (MT)/21.02 kpl (AT) | 25.1kpl | 22.27kpl (MT)/22.15kpl (AT) | 21.13kpl (MT)/21.72kpl (AT) |
Despite a larger displacement engine, the Ciaz diesel remains the most fuel efficient in the segment and has an ARAI-certified mileage per litre of 26.82kpl – down from 28.09kpl for the old 1.3 diesel Ciaz – with the Honda City diesel coming in second with a fuel-efficiency rating of 25.1kpl.
The drop in Ciaz mileage compared to its predecessor is likely in part to the new engine not being equipped by the brand’s SHVS mild-hybrid system offered with the old 1.3-litre DDiS unit in its more powerful, 90hp state of tune.
It must be noted that we have not considered the smaller, less powerful Hyundai Verna 1.4 diesel in this comparison.
| Prices (ex-showroom, Delhi) | ||||||
| Ciaz 1.3 (Old) | Ciaz 1.5 (New) | Verna | City | Vento | Rapid | |
| Manual | Rs 11.02 lakh | Rs 11.37 lakh | Rs 12.94 lakh | Rs 14.05 lakh | Rs 11.97 lakh | Rs 12.73 lakh |
| Automatic | NA | NA | Rs 13.99 lakh | NA | Rs 14.32 lakh | Rs 13.99 lakh |
While the introduction of the new diesel engine under the hood of the Maruti Ciaz has bumped up its prices, it still remains one of the more affordable models on sale in the segment. However, the Hyundai Verna, Volkswagen Vento and Skoda Rapid diesels offer the additional convenience of an automatic gearbox.

Toyota is most searched for brand globally
In a survey conducted by Veygo, Toyota has emerged as the most searched for car brand in the world, topping the charts in 57 of the 171 countries that participated in the survey. Next was German automaker BMW, which topped the list in 25 countries, with Mercedes-Benz (23 countries) rounding up the top three. In India, Maruti Suzuki topped the list of most searched for car brands. The survey was conducted by Veygo and was based on data from the Google search engine.
Maruti Suzuki has long been a major player in the Indian car market, holding onto a major portion of the market share with multiple models from the brand being listed in the ten bestselling cars every month.
As per data collected, Toyota topped the search charts in Australia, the US, Canada, the Middle-East and a large portion of East, Central and Southern Africa. Interestingly, Mercedes-Benz was quite popular in West Africa and beat out its rival, BMW, to be the most searched brand in its home market of Germany.
However, Maruti Suzuki and Mercedes-Benz were not the only brands to be popular in their home markets. French carmaker, Renault dominated searches in France, while Volvo held the top spot in Sweden. Peruoda was the most popular in its home market of Malaysia.

Our Oppo F11 Pro video review is up
We've reviewed the Oppo F11 Pro and our video summary is now live on YouTube. This is perhaps the cheapest device you can get that has a full bezel-less display, complete with a pop-up selfie camera - which is partly to thank for that. The Oppo F11 Pro has a beautiful gradient finish that would surprise you if you didn't know it was made of plastic. Meanwhile, the pop-up selfie camera sits right at the middle of the hardware, thus keeping the phone's symmetry from a design perspective. Even the rear camera setup is aligned right down the middle so its pleasing to the...

Some new information alleging to pertain to the Korean variant of the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G have surfaced. First spotted by Dealntech, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G will be available in two memory tiers: 256GB and 512GB.

Users report Galaxy S10 front camera using cropped mode in third-party apps
Samsung Galaxy S10 users are reporting that the front camera of their phone can only be used in the cropped mode, rather than the full field of view that the lens is capable of when you use a third-party camera app. This seems to apply to all three devices in the S10 series. The Galaxy S10 has a wide-angle lens for the front camera on all three devices. However, the main camera app always opens in a cropped mode (6MP) offering a field of view similar to what you have on selfie cameras by other manufacturers.

Apple's new AirPods deemed unrepairable by iFixit
Just days after iFixit praised Samsung's Galaxy Buds for being quite serviceable (with a 6 out of 10 repairability score), they tore down the new 2019 Apple AirPods and got a completely opposite result. With a repairability score of 0 out of 10 the new AirPods are practically non-serviceable. You can't swap out the battery, you can't fix any inner part that has been damaged and they're nearly impossible to recycle because of the hard-to-get batteries.

Kia Motors India concludes multi-city roadshow
Kia Motors India has wrapped up the second phase of its Design Tour, aimed at raising awareness of the brand by showcasing the Niro hatchback, Niro EV, Carnival and Sportage SUV. The roadshow reached 26 cities in over two months and covered 15,000km. With an aim to be amongst the top five automakers within three years in India, the extensive brand-building exercise commenced from Jamshedpur on January 16 and concluded in Bhopal on March 15.
The Korean carmaker’s first product launch in India will be an SUV based on the SP Concept showcased at the Auto Expo 2018. Kia Motors recently revealed the SP Signature concept at the Seoul Motor Show. This concept is an evolution of the Kia SP Concept, which is essentially meant to be a new small SUV for global markets and previews the near-production-spec Kia SP2i SUV that is set to be launched in India later in 2019.
On January 29, 2019, Kia Motors India’s manufacturing facility in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh began trial production of the SP2i SUV. The facility, which has a manufacturing capacity of around 3,00,000 units per annum, is expected to begin series production in the second-half of 2019. With a target of launching a new car every six months after the first product’s launch in India, Kia is planning on expanding its portfolio to at least five vehicles by 2021.
According to Manohar Bhat, head of marketing and sales, Kia Motors India, “The Design Tour is a great platform that multiple stakeholders – dealers, customers and opinion leaders – get to be a part of, and experience the distinctive and stunning design of Kia cars. Through this activity, we were able to gauge the excitement and anticipation around Kia amongst the masses across the country. We have received a phenomenal response from every city, and we are happy that we were able to showcase a glimpse of great design and technology of Kia before the launch of our midsize SUV in India.”

Maruti Suzuki Ciaz 1.5 diesel price, variants explained
Maruti Suzuki has finally begun saying goodbye to the Fiat-sourced, 1.3-litre diesel engine, starting with the Ciaz mid-size sedan. The Maruti sedan has been updated with an in-house developed, 1.5-litre diesel engine that makes 95hp and 225Nm of peak torque. Also new to the package is a 6-speed manual transmission. Unlike the petrol variants and the erstwhile diesel Ciaz, the new diesels give the Smart Hybrid system a miss.
While earlier the Ciaz 1.3 diesel was offered in four trim levels, the new 1.5 diesel drops the base Sigma variant. An interesting point to note is that the top-end Alpha version forms as much as 54 percent of the sedan’s total sales. The 2019 Ciaz Delta, Zeta and Alpha diesel variants have been launched at Rs 9.97 lakh, Rs 11.08 lakh and Rs 11.37 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) respectively. As such, they command a premium of Rs 17,000, Rs 46,000 and Rs 35,000 over their corresponding older models.
| Maruti Suzuki Ciaz variant-wise prices (ex-showroom, Delhi) | ||
| Ciaz 1.5 diesel | Ciaz 1.3 diesel | |

Harley-Davidson India launches Find Your Freedom internship programme
It’s not news that a lot of us have dreamt of working with a motorcycle manufacturer. Most of us fantasise about designing some cool, timeless bikes for the street while some others feel more strongly for building monstrous engines. It’s also not news that most of us have no clue where to begin to make this dream come true. Thankfully, Harley-Davidson India is here to help.
The Find Your Freedom internship programme, a model it has already been conducted internationally to great response, is all set to debut in India and entries will open from March 31, 2019. Unlike the Harley-Davidson University event, which focused solely on engine assembly, the Find Your Freedom programme involves a month-long internship with detailed training in riding, building motorcycles, marketing and experiential activities. Only three applicants will make it to the internship programme and they (or you, if you’re creative enough) will also get paid for the stint.
If you’re very excited at this point and want in on the action, make sure you share a catchy and cool photo or video on Instagram using #FindYourFreedomIndia and tag @HarleyDavidson_India. And if you do prove to be an invaluable asset to the company and get hired, please design a no-frills flat-tracker for the masses, will you?

Toyota Yaris awarded 4-star Latin NCAP rating
In the latest round of crash tests conducted by Latin NCAP, the Toyota Yaris has achieved a four-star rating. The made-in-Brazil sedan is equipped with safety kit such as dual front airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, front seatbelt pretensioners, seatbelt reminders and Isofix child seat mounts, which helped it achieve four stars for both, adult occupancy (26.99/34) and child occupancy (38.05/49).
Despite offering good protection overall, the body shell of the Brazil-spec Toyota Yaris was deemed to be unstable as it did not provide adequate protection for driver and front passenger knees, while the footwell area did not meet the crash test organisation’s norms.
A point to note: a four-star rating Latin NCAP for the Toyota sedan is not indicative of the India-spec Yaris’ crash worthiness. The Toyota Yaris for India meets India’s latest crash test norms but is yet to be rated by Global NCAP. A notable difference between the Brazil- and India-spec cars is that the Yaris for India gets 7 airbags as standard while the Brazil model gets only 2. Top-spec versions of the India-made Toyota Yaris also get electronic stability control. However, the sedan sold in India does not get Isofix child seat mounts on the rear seats.
The Toyota Yaris launched in India in April last year to rival the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Honda City and Hyundai Verna. Considering Yaris prices begin at Rs 9.29 lakh and go up to Rs 14.07 lakh, the Toyota is on the pricey side of the segment, which has not helped sales. Toyota Yaris sales from April 2018 to January 2019 were recorded at 11,142 units, which is a far cry from the segment-leader, the Maruti Ciaz, which sold 31,901 units during the same duration.
