Engine specification says, Renault borrowed 1.5L K9K diesel mill to be in its bay producing 65 bhp and 160 Nm of peak torque whilst of a good fuel efficiency in return for the augmented segment. We think, Mahindra is eyeing a large chunk of volume in market that it had lost in the new SUV based taxation from 2013 Union Budget. 5th June 2013 is the officially slated date of receiving ‘Vibe’.
Ford EcoSport:
Ford EcoSport is the most awaited vehicle in India during the present times, which had created a good amount of fanfare due to its unique segmentation and positioning.

We can only say the mid of June will have the best of Indian automobile fraternity. More to excitement, the official bookings have been started at authorized Ford dealerships that too with the initial down payment of just Rs. 50,000; and deliveries slated to commence in month of July.
Ashok Leyland Stile:
Ashok Leyland Stile is the first venture of automaker in the layman’s vehicle arena otherwise the brand has a reputed name in HCV segment. Getting cues from Nissan due to the official tie ups in between, Stile will receive many derivations form the Evalia.

Just caught testing yesterday itself, Stile is said to be doing the final rounds before the launch which is going to happen near the 15th of June, i.e. in the mid of this month. Learning more from the spy shots, we were bestowed that head and tail lamps to differ than the Evalia whilst of more comfort bits on Stile to be replaced by practical ones. Hence the core commuter segment is targeted under its hat, can be easily smelt from the hot derriere of expectations. The ongoing 1.5L K9K engine is talked to be engulfed in its engine bay producing a good 85 bhp and 200 Nm of peak torque. Even the CNG version in the pipeline is there to make debut shortly after the launch for serving its core purpose.

After receiving good response from pre-launch activity and also the media’s interaction on A Class, MB gained up those lost confidence and decided to launch the diesel version of its station wagon.
