Choosing the Chevrolet Cruze Amid the New Cars in India

I won’t be wrong if I say that the Chevrolet Cruze and the Chevrolet Beat are riding herd amid the new cars in India. Whether it is the exterior styling or interior décor or engine capacities or performance and more, you will just love driving them flaunting your style statement. While a neighbor in my left bought the Chevrolet Cruze, the neighbor in my right bought the Chevrolet Beat and both the cars get parked in close quarters in front of our apartment. I was not that crazy about these two new cars in India but after my eyes fell repeatedly on the sedan and hatchback, I am now all geared up to buy one. But now I am in a dilemma whether to go for the Beat or the Cruze.

As I don’t own a car and had been planning for long, I have been looking online, especially at car portals for new cars in India. Now that I have accumulated the funds, enough to get me the Beat, I am thinking why not get the Chevrolet Cruze with the help of a car loan to reimburse the remaining amount. Higher level of power and torque resulting in excellent acceleration and engine performance are features common in both the new cars, but a sedan is a sedan after all. The Cruze is available in both petrol and diesel engines whilst the Beat being only in petrol. And I want my car in diesel.

Spark Splendor and Engine Specifications

SparkIsn’t the Spark one of the best hatchbacks ever introduced in the Indian market? With the LPG model hitting the roads, most people who are budget conscious and concerned about fuel efficiency are all geared up to buy Spark. And whoever are using this beautiful four wheel wonder are no doubt availing the various advantages! The Spark price is one of the alluring factors; it is Rs. 3,17,808 to Rs. 4,24,353 as per ex-showroom Delhi. The Chevrolet Spark 1.0 LT is the top end variant that falls under the highest Spark price category; it comes with supplementary features such as driver’s airbag, alloy wheels and ABS (Antilock Brake System).

After reading about the various features of the hatchback including taking a tour of the price and variants, I am all geared up to buy Spark, especially the top end variant. What I liked most is the (Smart-Tec) technology in the engine that is powered by the 1.0L, 995cc specification. This new S-Tec (Smart-Tec) technology will enable the driver cruise smoothly even in congested city traffic. This is because the torque and power are maximized to the satisfaction also facilitating good acceleration. I have read in several reviews about the crossing of the 100kmph mark in 15.1 seconds. You can achieve a top speed mark of 153kmph with the Spark. All these features will certainly spur vehicle lovers to buy Spark!

The smart looks and the dashing interiors are worth mentioning. Spark has really sparked up my life, creating a new level of enthusiasm.
