800cc 2 cyl? Come on MSIL. Its like you want the entry level to suffer by providing them a 2-cyl engine. The 2 potter in Nano, although being a petrol is already very bad in NVH, and a diesel 2 potter, I don't know how bad would that be in NVH levels
Bring atleast a 3 cyl (800-900cc), 40-45 bhp, 100-110 Nm torque to play with. That should be good for 26-27 kmpl ARAI claimed mileage.
They might give Alto and A-Star an 800cc 2 cyl diesel engine, but I feel the WagonR deserves atleast a 1 litre 3 cyl unit.
As for the Nano, TATA is turbo-charging the Ace'a engine for it.
Tata is claiming 40 bhp and 90 Nm torque for it I guess. So, Maruti's figures should be around these only. |
