Soon Launching Cars

Datsun Go, Go+ facelifts (October 10, 2018) 

The Go and Go+ will both receive a substantial facelift in October 2018. 

This includes big interior changes that make the car look much more 

upmarket and usable than before. A long list of equipment will be added

too including a touchscreen infotainment system.  Engines are likely to be carried over.

Porsche Cayenne (October 17)

The all-new, third-gen flagship SUV from Porsche will be available in three engine options – 

the base version (priced from Rs 1.19 crore) gets a 335hp, 

3.0-litre V6 engine, the E-Hybrid (Rs 1.58 crore) gets a 3.0-litre V6

along with a 14.1kWh battery that produces a combined 462hp, 

and the Cayenne Turbo (Rs 1.92 crore) is powered by a 550hp, 4.0-litre twin-turbo, V8 petrol motor. 

There will be no diesel engine option on the new Cayenne. 

In terms of equipment and interior design, the Cayenne borrows heavily from the Panamera sedan.

Hyundai Santro (October 23)

Set to replace the aging Eon hatchback, the new Santro will revive the original’s tall-boy design and is expected to come with many segment-first features packed in – 

with kit like rear AC vents, a touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility and a rear parking camera. 

The car will also debut AMT tech on a Hyundai. This gearbox will be mated to an updated version of Hyundai 1.1-litre Epsilon petrol engine, which has a claimed fuel efficiency of 20.1kpl. 

The Santro will rival the Tata Tiago and Maruti Suzuki Celerio when it arrives.

Mahindra Y400 (October)

Mahindra’s upcoming flagship SUV is larger than its predecessor and looks quite a bit better thanks to the projector headlamps with LED daytime running lamps (DRLs), 

a slim hexagonal grille, LED fog and cornering lamps at the front, and 20-inch alloy wheels with thicker rubber. 

The interiors are also more plush, replete with leather upholstery and a dual-tone beige-and-black dashboard. The SUV is also

expected with a longer list of features such as a 9.2-inch HD screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto a 360-degree camera, a 7.0-inch LCD instrument cluster, 

a larger sunroof and a smart tailgate. 

The 2.7-litre five-cylinder diesel motor has been replaced by a 2.2-litre four-cylinder unit that makes 1hp more (at 187hp) and 18Nm more (at 420Nm). 

There’s also a new 7-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels on higher-spec variants.
