 The last two months, November and October have helped the automobile industry a lot as compared to 2019. These are the months of the festive season and Indians bring new appliances and products on the eve of the festival, so the manufacturers also give discounts as per their convenience. Talking about today's topic, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) is doing very well in the Indian car market with the start from Accent and Santro, then i10 and i20, then came these most popular products ever- Verna, Creta, Venue, nios, and aura. Big vehicles such as Tuscon and SantaFe did not make so much fan-base just like the Fortuner and Endeavour did. In my studies, this is too of sales in a month as Suzuki sells Alto and Celerio in good numbers like 15-18 thousand, and including other cars they may be selling 30-40 cars in a month. (ESTD) Out of total of 68,835 units                                    ...

 Toyota Kirloskar Motors sold over 12373 cars in last month (October), 8116 in November 2020. This festive season might have helped the industry to achieve this growth in sales. Out 12373, 11866 units were sold in the Indian market and 744 units of Etios were exported. Mr. Naveen Soni, Sr. Vice President said that 'This festive month of October has been our best month since March 2020'. As the report shows below that there is slow growth in the sales and it is maximum in the month of October and the second maximum in the month of November. That is, 50% of growth in every month with most of sales coming from bigger vehicles, Innova Crysta and Fortuner respectively. The copycat Glanza also performed very well over the period of these few months, and the newly launched Urban Cruiser also helped the company and is believed to take proper growth in the future.

 So, a long time back when I was not on BlogSpot but our social media handles for Motorignition were super active, I created few renders among which, my most favorite is this cabriolet version of my favorite ///M car i.e. BMW M2. This is not a tutorial on how to render a car to cabriolet, but in this blog we will discuss how we created this simple render. It all started when I saw some digitally designed cars on net in lockdown period, already I used to sketch on paper, but this made me super crazy to know about it further more. Then I came to know that most of these were created by professionals on Photoshop, it was not easy to get Photoshop for me in the lockdown, I came across Gimp which we used in class 8 or 9, back then I had no idea that this free software is supercool. So I messed up not little but much with the Nissan GT-R, then I thought I uploaded one so may be my  followers want one more (fun fact: I did not have much followers, all the followers, barely 50, were my...

 Last year there were certain agreements done between Toyota and Suzuki and then we saw the new Toyota Glanza and now Toyota Urban Cruiser a Vitara Brezza's double role. Also, Maruti Vitara Brezza got a facelift with a BS6 engine producing 104.7 Ps of power. (We are not comparing both the cars here) Now what's special in Toyota's Urban Cruiser, come join us. DESIGN :-   There is no need to give an explanation about the design as this design is familiar to us from the year 2015 or 2016, when Brezza got launched, so except for certain finishing and a few changes to the grille and positioning of fog lamps, and different badges, there is no major difference in terms of design when we compare it with the Brezza. ENGINE :- This is powered by a 1.5 liter (1462cc) 4-cylinders petrol engine producing 104.7 Ps of power with 138 Nm of torque, available with 4-speed automatic and 5-speed manual transmissions. The company claimed mileage is about 18.63 km/l and 17.03 for AT and MT res...

Also, the car got spotted on the test, so now we can expect to get the new good looking luxurious compact SUV by quarter one of the next year.
