Mini-SUV’s to be launched in India
 |
Premier RioThe 1944 launched company has been successfully making cars for years and is also a market leader in the commercial vehicles sector. The company has a vast expertise in both domains having partnered with some of the leading Auto companies abroad. They now look to bring back the lost legacy of their Padmini times. And as the first step towards it, all at once from nowhere, they are now here in the market launching their Mini-SUV Rio. The Rio is a compact SUV which bonnets a Turbocharged 1.5 Liter Capacitated Diesel Engine powering 65 BHP and torquing a 140 Nm regulated by a 5-speed manual transmission. This technical specification will be accompanied by a number of features such as Foldable Split Rear Seats for more Luggage Space, Central Locking, Power Windows etc. Higher variants of the Rio will have Anti-Lock Braking System. |

In the Picture: Technical diagram of an unknown SUV. Our spy photographers are yet to spot the Mahindra’s unnamed mini suv
SEE THIS A SKECTH OF WELL KNOW WORLD FAMOUS – LINCOLN NAVIGATOR SUV, AND ITS NOT a MINI SUV
THNKS
Ford should relaunch its Fusion with Diesel engine and must-to-have ABS and Air bags at reasonably reduced B segment price. Then, certainly it will be a success. Customers’ feedback should be taken into account immediately rather than delaying the action and letting the vehicle become extinct, unnecessarily. Ford was really lethargic as far as Fusion was concerned to act on customers’ feedback. Even now, it is not too late. Will Ford wake-up?
That “technical diagram of an unknown SUV” is a manipulated Lincoln Navigator…
Anyway, hope we see more mini-SUVs that come with rear wheel drive and in a more affordable price bracket.. Mahindra can do it, they have the platform and who on earth wouldn’t want to see the return of the classics… CL550 or Major anyone??
mini suv should not be as mini as the definition of small car called nano,no matter if price goes upto 7lakhs, & I could not understand how a suv would be of only 4lakhs, standards of suv should be maintained
Yes A mini SUV / MPV is a urgent need. No car ( except Fusion, which is branded as failure ) is there now. Convenience of Hatch back, comfort of MPV, SUV kind of maneuver in Indian roads – we need a MINI SUV ? MPV.
To cater the middle class ( lot is available for luxury ), Less than 4m, 5 seater, 500 lts boot, 175 mm ground clearance, bucket seat comfort, 75 hp, 100 NM torque, 17 kpl minimum milage Masculine modern look, ABS / Airbag safty features from a quality company like M & M, TOyota, Maruthi, TATA, Hyundai will be nice.
My shortlists are Toyota Urban Cruiser / Avanza, Modified Gypsy / Gimmy, Mini Xylo, mini Safari etc.
Hope before end of 2010, we will have some, like a lot has come for hatch back in 2009.
