automobile BSA Gold Star 650 real world fuel economy tested, explained By www.autocarindia.com Published On :: Sat, 26 Oct 2024 07:00:00 +1000 The made-in-India BSA Gold Star 650 has been available overseas for a couple of years but Classic Legends has now launched the bike in India. That gave us a chance to pit it against its closest competitor, the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and also to see how fuel efficient the engine is BSA Gold Star 650 real world fuel efficiency Our fuel efficiency tests are split into separate city and highway runs. The city run was conducted on a variety of roads in South Mumbai with everything from jam packed traffic under the JJ Flyover to faster, more flowing traffic down Marine drive. After covering over 40km, the bike returned 22.96kpl. With that completed, we then covered about 60 kilometres of highway riding while holding speeds of 70-80kph. In this test, the BSA Gold Star’s mileage increased to 29.14kpl. BSA Gold Star 650: fuel economy analysis It is worth noting that while these numbers are a little lower than the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, the BSA actually proved to be slightly quicker in our performance tests, despite being tested in wet conditions. The Gold Star weighs slightly less than the Enfield, but its big single cannot match the RE’s smooth parallel twin engine when it comes to fuel efficiency, although it makes up for this with more low and midrange torque than any other made in India motorcycle. Autocar India’s fuel efficiency testing Our fuel efficiency testing routine starts off by first brimming the tank and ensuring that the bike is running the manufacturer's recommended tyre pressures. The bike is then ridden on fixed city and highway routes, where we maintain pre-decided average speeds that best mimic real-world scenarios for the bike in question. The payload on the bikes is kept constant by balancing rider weights and ballast, ensuring consistency across different vehicles and riders. At the end of the test cycle, the fuel tank is once again filled to the brim, giving us an accurate figure of how much fuel has been consumed, against the trip metre reading.

automobile Audi Q3 vs BYD Atto 3: buy a petrol luxury SUV or a premium EV? By www.autocarindia.com Published On :: Sat, 26 Oct 2024 09:00:00 +1000 I am confused whether I should buy an Audi Q3 Premium Plus or a BYD Atto 3 Dynamic. Lavya Garg, Gurugram Autocar India says: Both are very different cars; one is combustion-engined, and the other an EV. The Audi is the safer choice as it feels more premium and can be taken anywhere without worrying about fuelling up. The Atto 3 doesn’t feel as premium but has a lot more tech that makes the Q3 look outdated. Being an EV, the Atto 3 is much easier to drive and has negligible running costs, but it will have poorer resale value.

automobile Buying a used Tata Punch: what to look out for By www.autocarindia.com Published On :: Sun, 27 Oct 2024 08:00:00 +1000 GOOD FOR: Features, Composed road manners LOOK OUT FOR: AMT gearbox, Infotainment The Tata Punch created the sub-compact SUV segment when it launched in 2021. The Punch has elevated seating, ample ground clearance, a fairly tough build, adequate space and practicality, and the ability to take on challenging road conditions. So, if you are looking for a used small car that has some of the advantages of an SUV, this deserves to be on your shortlist. Here’s what you need to consider. Tata Punch powertrain options Since launch, the Punch has been powered by a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 88hp and 115Nm. It can be had with either a 5-speed manual or an AMT. It features auto engine stop/start to aid fuel efficiency, which results in an ARAI-claimed economy of 18.97kpl for the manual and 18.82kpl for the automatic variants. In August 2023, Tata also introduced CNG variants to the Punch line-up, which uses the same engine but makes a lower 73.4hp and 103Nm. It can only be had with a manual, though. There’s also a Punch EV on sale, but we’ll only be focusing on the ICE version here. If your usage is going to be only in the city with the rare outstation trip, go for either an AMT or a CNG variant. CNG will give you low running costs if your usage is high, and AMT provides convenience in city traffic. But, if you plan on mixed usage between the city and highway, it’s worth opting for a petrol-manual Punch. Tata Punch variants, features At the time of launch, the Tata Punch was available in four basic trims: Pure, Adventure, Accomplished and Creative. As for features, the range-topping Creative trim comes with a 7-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, a rear-view camera, cruise control, two airbags, a 7-inch semi-digital instrument cluster, auto projector headlamps, LED daytime running lights, auto climate control, auto wipers, a rear wiper and washer, and 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. The Tata Punch was also offered with a range of optional customisation packs (like Rhythm Pack and Dazzle Pack) for each trim, which brought in even more features. Layered dashboard is easy on the eye, and material quality is good, too. Tata also introduced a few special editions along the way, like the Kaziranga Edition and Camo Edition, which brought in cosmetic differences and some feature additions. A sunroof was also added to the equipment list with the launch of the CNG variants. The top-spec Creative is the one to go for if you want all the features and budget isn’t an issue. Otherwise, you can even opt for one of the mid-spec versions with the additional packs, depending on which features you need. Tata service centres are widespread across the country, and sourcing spare parts shouldn’t be an issue either. Preferably, look for an example that also has an extended warranty package so you get that additional peace of mind that’s necessary when buying a used car. What to look out for in a used Tata Punch? AMT gearbox Although it isn’t common for the AMT gearbox to go wrong, it’s worth inspecting it if you’re buying a two-pedal Punch. Take a test drive and check if the car takes off from a standstill smoothly and without hesitation. Also, ensure that the shifts aren’t very clunky. These are signs of a healthy AMT ’box. AC cooling A few owners have faced issues with the Punch’s AC system. Before buying, check if it cools the cabin quickly and effectively, and also look out for any condensation in the front footwell. Infotainment Owners have complained about the Punch’s Harman infotainment system crashing abruptly and rebooting on its own, so it’s best to get it inspected before buying. Ensure that your phone pairs seamlessly, the system isn’t laggy, and the software is up to date. ALSO WORTH KNOWING The Punch makes for a good family car as it has 90-degree-opening doors that make ingress/egress easy. It has received a 5-star safety rating from Global NCAP for adult occupant protection. Second hand Tata Punch price, resale value You can find used examples for anywhere between Rs 4 lakh and Rs 10 lakh, depending on the trim, powertrain and year of manufacture. However, refrain from spending over Rs 7 lakh-7.5 lakh as you’d be better off buying a brand new one. As the Punch received an update recently, you can use that to haggle for a better deal.

automobile Buy a soon to be retired Audi A4 or a much newer Q3? By www.autocarindia.com Published On :: Sun, 27 Oct 2024 09:30:00 +1000 I’m thinking of buying a new car, but I’m confused between the Audi A4 and the Audi Q3 Sportback. The A4 is a bit cheaper, at Rs 46 lakh, but it’s going to be discontinued in 2025. The Q3 Sportback is a bit more expensive – Rs 50 lakh – but it’s newer and might hold its value better. What do you think I should do? I like the A4 a lot. Purav Patel, Nashik Autocar India says: Both the Audi A4 and Audi Q3 are good cars, but we would pick the A4 because it’s nicer to drive. In fact, the A4 is the best luxury sedan in its class thanks to a smooth and peppy engine, exceptional ride and a solid build. The Q3 is more practical if you are driving mainly on rough roads, and it has a more comfortable back seat – the A4’s a bit cramped at the rear. We understand the resale value concerns, but we would still pick the A4 over the Q3, and that Rs 4 lakh saving could offset the lower resale value when you eventually sell it.

automobile Tata Harrier or Mahindra Thar Roxx: which is better for bad roads? By www.autocarindia.com Published On :: Tue, 29 Oct 2024 08:00:00 +1000 I love the mountains and discovering off-beat destinations and trails. I am looking for a sturdy and tough SUV that can take a solid beating in bad roads in remote areas. It doesn’t need to be 4x4, but it should have good ground clearance. The car will also be used as a daily driver. I was looking at the Tata Harrier and the Mahindra Thar Roxx. What would you suggest? Adwait Kelkar, Pune Autocar India says: The Harrier is a very comfortable SUV with a spacious cabin and a great ride. It has the edge over the Roxx when it comes to overall comfort. However, if you are looking for an SUV that will be driven on bad roads regularly, then the Roxx is a much better choice. The tough body-on-frame chassis and high ground clearance gives it a huge advantage over the Harrier, which doesn’t feel as robust in comparison. Also, the Roxx’s diesel engine is far superior to the Harrier’s gruff diesel, which is now showing its age. For town use, the Roxx’s ride is lumpy compared to the Harrier, but it’s not a deal breaker and can easily double up as an everyday car, too. To sum-up, the Roxx is tougher and better suited for the mountains.

automobile Mahindra Thar Roxx or XUV700: which is the better family SUV? By www.autocarindia.com Published On :: Sat, 2 Nov 2024 07:30:00 +1000 I am confused between the Mahindra XUV700 and the Mahindra Thar Roxx. We’re a family of six, and I need a powerful vehicle with ADAS. Kaustubh Satish, Bengaluru Autocar India says: As a family car, the XUV700 is a better choice as it is more spacious than the Thar Roxx, especially since you have six family members. The XU700’s second row is wider than the Roxx, so sitting three abreast isn’t as comfortable on the latter. Also, the XUV700 has a third row, which the Roxx doesn’t, and this is crucial for accommodating the sixth passenger. The XUV700 is also more powerful than the Roxx and comes with ADAS. The Roxx is meant for adventure seekers who also want an everyday car, but for your requirements, the XUV700 is the better choice. Also See: Mahindra Thar Roxx review: An SUV that does it all?
