Maruti Suzuki SX4 Diesel Launched...


Powered by the same 1.3 litre DDiS engine on the Swift, Dzire and the Ritz, the diesel version of the Maruti Suzuki SX4 will retail for 7.74 lakhs for the VDI and 8.62 lakhs for the ZDi version

Most cars in the B and C segment in India today are being offered both in the petrol and diesel versions, not only to match the same on offer by their competitors, but more so because of the evolution of our discerning customers, who have come to realize the long-term benefits of owning an ‘oil burner’ .

Offering higher efficiency in the form of power, torque and mileage it’s the diesel variants of our favourite hatchbacks and sedans that inspite digging deeper into our pockets on ‘pay day’, ultimately leave us with a smile on our faces.

Many of the top selling sedans in the Indian market today are being offered with the diesel option, and though a majority of them are on offer by international car manufacturers like Fiat, Volkswagen, Hyundai and Toyota it’s the country’s largest passenger car manufacturer Maruti Suzuki that has finally launched the diesel variant of its well to do SX4 sedan in India.
The diesel engine under its hood is basically the 1.3 lire DDiS engine powering its siblings, the Swift, Dzire and the Ritz. But, what makes the powertrain on the new SX4 Diesel different is its variable geometry turbocharger that increases its overall power to a impressive 90PS @ 4000 rpm and further gives out a decent 200Nm of torque @ 1750  rpm. Mated to a 5 speed gearbox, the SX4 Diesel is quick when on the move, and can easily go from 0 to 100 km/h in just about 14 seconds to the clock.

Proposed mileage is of around 21.5 kilometers to the litre, and in real world conditions this converts to 14-15 kilometers. The interiors on the new SX 4 Diesel remain the same and though the plastics are of a great quality it is the texture that leaves you still wanting.

The SX4 diesel is now available across Maruti Suzuki showrooms in two variants, namely the VDi and ZDi, which will sell for 7,74,000 for the former and 8,62,000 for the later

Not comfortable with nudity: Priyanka Chopra

Image
Mumbai , April 30 - Though she has portrayed many bold characters on the  silver screen , Bollywood actress  Priyanka Chopra says she is not comfortable with nudity in films. The 28-year-old, who has done steamy scenes in films like "Andaaz", "Aitraaz" and "Fashion" among others, says that among the few things that she would not indulge in would be nudity. "Nudity is something that I wouldn't be comfortable with. Even if I  play  the most complex and weird parts which are raunchy or whatever it has to be, the portrayal of a  character  is to a point where it is aesthetically done. It has to be something that I won't be averse to showing my parents. I have to be able to sit with them  and watch  it. "Even if it's a film like 'Saat Khoon Maaf', the  thought  of the scenes was a lot more than what was actually seen. And that is aesthetically well done," Priyanka, who was part of a youth forum organised by MTV, told repor

India vs Sri Lanka: ICC bans TV channels from covering World Cup final

Image
                                  A day before the World Cup final clash between India and Sri Lanka , the International Cricket Council (ICC) renewed the ban on Indian television news channels from covering the match at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai.  ICC on Friday cancelled the accreditation for all Indian news channels from being allowed inside the stadium.  ICC's cancellation came despite the intervention from the Information & Broadcast Ministry.  Information and broadcasting minister Ambika Soni had also taken up the issue with agriculture minister and ICC president Sharad Pawar after the Cabinet meeting on Thursday.  TV channels were permitted to cover the India-Pakistan World Cup semifinals after ICC lifted the ban on accredited journalists from the news channels for a day, following intervention by Soni. She had written a letter to Pawar requesting him to restore the status-quo and allow the electronic media to report on the event as was the case earlier.
