Q.Car Offers And Discounts For September 2016

[URL="https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/profile/8023"]Shubham_Rastogi[/URL] Hi, you can book the car right now and will have to pay the prices applicable at the time of deliver. Can you elaborate on the discounts Maruti is offering right now?

[URL="https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/profile/7713"]Syedmoiz73@gmail.com[/URL] The fuel efficiency depends on the driving style a lot. My friend who has an Aspire diesel gets around 20kmpl on the highways with AC. He, however is a very sedate driver and rarely touches 3 digit speeds. When driven continuously at high speeds it comes down to 16-17kmpl. In city traffic it usually hovers around 15kmpl in Bangalore. This is in very heavy traffic with AC. Till the first oil change the fuel efficiency is low. It needs to run in and get done with unwanted friction. After that it should improve. Can you specify the issues with service? You can also go to any other Ford service in your city if available.

[QUOTE_NODE]"[B]Originally posted by [EMAIL="Syedmoiz73@gmail.com"]Syedmoiz73@gmail.com[/EMAIL]"[/B] JijoMalayil I recently bought Aspire Diesel.The car is extremely good in terms of features and drivability,handling etc. But two things have haunted me 1. the fuel economy as promised and actual 2. Bad experience at the local dealership. [/QUOTE_NODE] There is usually a run-in period with new engines, so might need to put in a few miles before the engine really settles in and becomes more efficient. What is the current odometer reading? And what FE figure you are you getting now? And can you elaborate a little bit on the experience at the local dealership?

Tata Motors has cash discounts and exchange bonuses on their slow selling cars- Bolt, Nano, Storme and Zest. The Tiago, predictably doesn't have any offers. Mahindra apparently doesn't have any discounts for the XUV500, but has cash discounts ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 55,000 for the KUV100, TUV300, Nuvosport and Scorpio. Suzuki feeling the heat of the competition up and down it's portfolio. The so-far untouchable Alto and Swift/Dzire have also been affected in the past few months. Fortunately it has the Vitara and the Baleno to feel happy about. Renault back to it's winning ways albeit in a low margin segment with the Kwid. This is one car that I feel deserves all the success it's getting. Same goes for Datsun's Redigo. [I]One more important change noticeable in these discounts[/I] is the fact that some of these offers are specifically on the diesel variants and not on the petrol variants. Shows the shift from petrol to diesel with the coming together of several factors including the clampdown of the SC/NGT on diesels and reduction in price difference between the two fuels.

[U][B]Maruti Suzuki[/B][/U] The most popular car maker by a huge margin, Maruti Suzuki has a slew of discounts and offer up their sleeve for this festive season. Let’s take a look at some of them.

[U][B]Volkswagen[/B][/U] [B]Polo:[/B] The brilliant Polo hatchback is now available with 0% interest for three years if you buy it through VW Finance. A good offer I think. Also, the Polo GTI may be launched in the next couple of weeks. Do check out the details [URL="https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/posts/4374-auto-expo-2016-volkswagen-polo-gti-unveil"]here[/URL].

Chevrolet India is now offering the Beat with a cash discount of Rs 24,000 along with free 1st year insurance. [B]Sail:[/B] The Sail, in my opinion, should just sail away into the horizon for good. This sedan has struggled to sell over the last year and makes me wonder why the American manufacturer is still persisting with it instead of introducing an all-new model. Anyway enough of the rant now. If you are interested in buying this fugly sedan, Chevrolet will give you a cash discount of Rs 20,000 along with free insurance for the 1st year. Chevrolet should just give the whole car for free, quite frankly! [IMG]https://imgct3.aeplcdn.com/img/800x600/car-data/big/chevrolet-sail-default-image.png-version2016090117.png[/IMG] [B]Enjoy:[/B] Another market dud from Chevrolet, the Enjoy has even failed to entice fleet operators.

If it were up to me, I’d rather not take it and be happy with whatever set of wheels I have :x

[B]Hyundai[/B] [B]Eon:[/B] The Eon is Hyundai’s cheapest offering in the country and competes against the best-selling Maruti Suzuki Alto 800. For this festival season, Hyundai is offering the base Dlite variant for Rs 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom New Delhi). For other variants, Hyundai is giving out free insurance, a cash back scheme of Rs 7,500, an exchange bonus of Rs 20,000 along with 3-year warranty.

[B]Elite i20:[/B] Being one of Hyundai’s best seller, the Elite i20 does not yet come with a massive discount or bonus. Only an exchange bonus of Rs 10,000 for the diesel variant as of now. [B]Fluidic Verna:[/B] The next-generation Verna was launched in China recently. While that car is still a few months away from being launched here, you can now get the current version with a cash discount of Rs 20,000, an exchange bonus of Rs 50,000 and a loyalty bonus of up to Rs 10,000 No offers on the best-selling Creta ([URL="https://www.zigwheels.com/forum/posts/4962-hyundai-creta-worth-the-premium"]our review[/URL]) and the recently launched Hyundai Elantra.

[I][B]The Festive Season Is Round The Corner And It's Raining Discounts[/B][/I] The month of September and October is probably one of the best time of the year to buy a brand new car. While many car manufacturers are lining up to launch some new and exciting models for the coming festival season, car dealers will preparing special festival discounts and schemes in the hopes of selling more cars while making space in their stockyard for the newer models. Thanks to the auspicious nature of the Navratri and Diwali, many people prefer buying a car this time of the year. For this year, most of the manufacturers are offering special schemes and discounts in the hopes of raking up some serious numbers on the sales chart. The list of manufacturers offering discounts this year is quite huge - Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Honda, Ford, Volkswagen, Skoda, Nissan, Tata Motors, Renault, Mahindra, Toyota, Chevrolet, Datsun, Fiat and other luxury brands like Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz are all offering schemes on most of their products. Here’s an exhaustive list of the offers available in the country from 2nd September, 2016. [U][B]Ford[/B][/U] [B]Figo Trend (D):[/B] The Ford Figo is one of my favourite hatchbacks that are currently on sale in the country. While many overlook a Ford because of the perception that they are expensive to maintain, in reality they are not. If you are looking for a hatchback between Rs 5-8 lakh, the Ford Figo would be my pick. For this month, Ford India is offering a cash discount of Rs 50,000 for the diesel variant in ‘Trend’ spec. There are no offers for the petrol variant. [ATTACH=CONFIG]n17522[/ATTACH] [B]Figo Aspire Trend:[/B] The compact sedan version of the Figo is definitely a more practical choice as it comes with a proper boot which offers 400+ litres of space. The Figo Aspire, in my opinion, is the best driver’s car in the segment. Yes, the Figo has lost some of its sharp handling characteristics with the new version, but in a segment dominated by the Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire and the Honda Amaze - both of which have become too common these days - I’d still pick the Ford just to stand out of the crowd. Ford India is offering a cash discount of Rs 10,000 on the Aspire Trend variant and you can even get a Rs 25,000 exchange bonus if you pick the diesel one.
