New E3 M800 Launched.

amitoj · 2nd February 2005, 11:45

All M800 fans rejoice!!

Maruti has launched a new version of india's max selling car, the M800.

The new car will have a 32bit ECU to meet the Euro 3 emission norms. Plus the usual cosmetic maruti changes and a price hike of 4.4%.

Cheers
Amitoj

amitoj,

any idea about the power output or torque figures

satya

amitoj · 2nd February 2005, 15:17

Dunno abt the power output, Satya. It will probably be same as the Euro II M800.

Headlamp leveling (For Euro-3, I guess)
New tail lamps
Supposedly better interior
some changes in front grill and clear lense headlamp.

Saw that in a newpaper advt today.

DCEite · 2nd February 2005, 18:47

saw that advt about a week ago in HT

islero · 2nd February 2005, 20:17

damn, I thought it wud be some sort of a big change, at least a change in front bumper. slightly dissapointing.

moralfibre · 2nd February 2005, 20:29

That is not just slightly but absolutely dissappointing... when are people at MUL going to start upgrading to better safety standards adopt newer technologies on cars ... its high time they stop selling their vehicles just by changing the head/tail lamps... they are just upgrading cosmetics and nothing else...

lamborghini · 3rd February 2005, 11:38

and it comed with a 32bit chip too
i think headlamp levelling is now manadatory in all versions
didnt like the look all that much
interior changes includes fabrics used ... i think from what i could see in the pictures

Indeed, it is a disgrace that such an obsolete and unsafe vehicle is still being sold. MUL is selling it for the sole puprpose of laughing all the way to the bank. I'm sure they have higher profit margins on the M800 than on newer models like the WagonR.

When most of parts/engine are not electronically controlled in M800 i dont know what is the use of a 32 bit ECU ?

speedsatya · 3rd February 2005, 20:03

ECM is the acronym for Electronic Control Module. This is the brain of the MPFI system. It controls the amount of fuel to be injected into the engine and the ignition timing based on the inputs received from various sensors. It consists of a micro computer analog to digital converter.

previuosly 16-ecm was used ,but now 32-bit will be used.A 32 bit ECM has been put in the car for faster processing of data for more precise control of various parameters.

will it affect performance in anyway = 32 bit ecm

Technocrat · 4th February 2005, 17:59

ideally speaking it should, but how much usefull it'll be on M800 isa doubtfull.. c the more powerfull(i.e. bits) the faster the processing & hence more ignition maps/curves can be put on the ECM & more the maps/curves better will be the mileage & performance of the car.
