ISUZU launch

 

BS6 Isuzu V-Cross, MU-X India launch today: Price expectations




We will start off the week with an important launch -- that of the BS6 iterations of the V-Cross and the MU-X. Yep, Isuzu Motors India will start offering the new iteraions of both the aforementioned vehicles for retail across the country. Better late than never, we say; in case you are wondering what that is about -- well, the company hasn't yet completed the transition to the new emission norms, i.e. BS6. Actually, its commercial vehicles had made the switch, but private vehicles were yet to make the transition. But more about the upcoming launches -- the automaker will launch the BS6 compliant versions of the D-Max V-Cross pick-up truck, including the Hi-Lander version, and the M-UX SUV.

Please note that the BS6 Isuzu D-Max V-Cross won't feature any other change save for the mechanical changes to ensure compliance. This is despite the fact that Isuzu had revealed an all-new version of the pick-up for international markets in 2019. Basically, the model that will go on sale in India will be just the BS6 version of D-Max that was sold here till 31 March, 2020.

Nonetheless, we do hear that the updated model will come equipped with the 1.9-litre diesel engine instead of the 2.5-litre diesel engine. It must be noted that in the older model, the 1.9-litre motor was available only with the top-end trim. The engine belts out a maximum power output of 161 bhp and 360 Nm, which translates into a slight increase in performance as compared to the BS4 model. Transmission duties will be tended to by a six-speed automatic gearbox.

As for the BS6 Isuzu MU-X -- this one too will only get an updated engine, most likely the same 3.0-litre diesel engine. Not much else is know about this upcoming SUV in India yet, but it won't be too long before we do.

BS6 Isuzu V-Cross, MU-X: Price expectations

Now, the key point: How much are these new cars in india likely to cost? At the time of announcing that it would cease production of its BS4 vehicles in December 2019, the company had also mentioned that the switch to BS6 would result in an increase of about ₹3 lakh to ₹4 lakh for Isuzu D-Max V-Cross and MU-X.  So, there's that.

Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing

  Grand Prix motorcycle racing   is the premier class of motorcycle  road racing   events held on  road circuits   sanctioned by the   Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme   (FIM). Independent  motorcycle   racing events have been held since the start of the twentieth century   and large national events were often given the title Grand Prix.   The foundation of the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme as the international governing body for motorcycle sport in 1949 provided the opportunity to coordinate rules and regulations in order that selected events could count towards official World Championships. It is the oldest established motorsport  world championship.                               Grand Prix motorcycles are purpose-built racing machines that are unavailable for purchase by the general public and unable to be ridden legally on public roads. This contrasts with the various production-based categories of racing, such as the Superbike World Championship and the  I sle

 HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE Development started as early as the 17th century with the invention of the first  steam-powered  vehicle,   which led to the creation of the first steam-powered automobile capable of human transportation, built by  Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot  in 1769.  Inventors began to branch out at the start of the 19th century, creating the  de Rivas engine , one of the first  internal combustion engines ,  and an early  electric motor .   Samuel Brown  later tested the first industrially applied internal combustion engine in 1826.                                      Development was hindered in the mid-19th century by a backlash against large vehicles, yet progress continued on some internal combustion engines. The engine evolved as engineers created  two-  and  four-cycle  combustion engines and began using  gasoline  as fuel. Production vehicles began appearing in 1887, when Karl Benz developed a petrol or gasoline-powered automobile and made several identical copies.   Recent
