Swiss have known for their precision in engineering. So the new Ambassador will be definitely an engineering marvel. DC estimates the new ambassador will be able to do 250 km on a single charge. It also has high torque like all-electric vehicles which makes the Amby go from 0 – 60 in 4 seconds.
Launch of the new DC2 product will begin in 2021 is what Mr. DC himself has estimated. They have an assembly line that can produce 5000 units which are built at the DC Avanti. The DC Avanti failed to capture the auto enthusiast. So manufacturing is now completely stalled.
The New Ambassador has attracted demand from both Indian and overseas markets. Dilip Chhabria is confident that this new product from his stable will be a super hit. As the Ambassador ceased production it was widely missed by a huge population who were diehard fans of the Ambassador.

]]>The Pioneers of SUV Coupes have to be given to BMW. They launched the worlds first SUV Coupe the BMW X6 almost a decade ago. Which found many takers not only in India but the world over. It was then the turn of the other German Counterpart Mercedes that launched the GLE Coupe as well as the GLC Coupe answer to BMWs X6 and X4. The trend quickly followed by Porsche now which has launched the Porsche Cayenne Coupe which is coming to India real soon. The Cayenne has been in India for a really long time and has also been a very big hit amongst the rich and famous.
From SUVs becoming a trend among the elite it is now the SUV Coupes that has become the star attraction for the la crème of society. The major difference between an SUV and its Coupe Version is the element of style. While the SUVs are large and have a fair amount of room at the back. The SUV Coupes are elegantly shaped at the back cutting out all the extra space that the SUV would have offered.

Coupes have never been a success in India. Given that Indian families are large and the Indian consumer has always wanted more room. But the combination of an SUV and the Coupe has become a hit among Indians. Although there is the Urus which can also be considered to be an SUV Coupe. It is the price tag that will deter even the rich and famous to spend that kind of money. Recently Ranveer Singh and Rohit Shetty both got themselves the Lamborghini SUV. With Porsche now on this new trend it is interesting to see who else will join this Bandwagon.

]]>Tyres are the most neglected part of the car. One often ignores to keep it in top condition. Whereas it is the part that goes through maximum damage, Wear and Tear. What we need to do is fairly simple. Check air pressures at all times. If the treading on the tyre is worn out or in simple terms the grips of the tyre disappear and it turns bald. Take it to a tyre shop and get the tyres retreaded or replaced.
People cannot think about driving their cars in summers without having the Air Conditioners not working. It will feel like you are driving in an oven. First step to ensure good Air Conditioning in the summers is to check the Compressor Oil and top it up accordingly. When your car is parked directly under the sun your car tends to heat up more than 10 degrees than the outside temperature.

The tip to keep it as hot as the temperature outside is by keeping the window open by two to three centimetres so that hot air doesn’t remain trapped in the car. If you have forgotten to do that. When you enter the car roll down the windows completely. Put the fan on the highest speed with the AC in full so that all the hot air travels out. Then roll up the windows and reduce the fan speed your Car will automatically cool itself.
The Radiator acts as the Airconditioning of your car it cools down the engine. Ensure that you use a good quality coolant and that the levels that the coolant needs to be maintained are check at all times. Do not check the coolant when the engine is hot always check when the engine is idle and the engine is cool.
Engine Oil lubricates your engine parts from wear and tear. So, ensure that it is topped up at all times and that it is not very old. Similarly, most brakes in cars today are hydraulic so ensure that Brake fluid is not beyond the recommended level. Same goes with the steering and Transmission units Oil levels need to be maintained and should not go below the minimum threshold.
There are many rubber bands like things that propel various functions of the car. These rubber hoses tend to harden with extreme heat. This leads to cracking in these rubber belts. It can give way at any time so do not ignore the slightest crack that you discover. Replace the Belt immediately.

]]>The post Long Term Car Loan is not a good idea for buying a new car appeared first on Thepost24.
]]>As per experts, the lower loan duration for the car loan is always better. Some banks or financial institutions lend 80 per cent of the EX showroom price and some are willing to pay even 100 per cent on-road price for the car. While lending they charge a certain percentage of landing value as processing fee. So, the higher lending amount cost high processing fees for customers. It is advised to the customer to calculate all prospects before opting a loan from a bank or institution.
While purchasing the car many customers do not give more attention to the loan paying bank of financial institutions. Often, dealers recommend non-banking financial institutions or banks with the dealer tie-up for lending. Generally, those banks loan interests are higher because they pay high commissions to dealers. It is advised the customer to compare dealers loan offering with other banks from the market. Whoever offers the best deal buyer should go with them? Dealers cannot force the customer to opt for lending from their network bank of NBFCs.

The buyer should also pay attention to the bank or institution calculates for their EMI calculations. Some banks or institutions give the option of fixed EMI and few offer alternatives to floating rates according to market conditions for interest rate revision. Customers should carefully choose the best option as per their financial condition while buying cars.
Generally, dealers offer a lower rate of interest when banks offer high in their initial documents. Don’t de confused and considers dealers are best. Actually, the bank offer reducing the rate of interest which change based on market condition but dealers charge fix the rate of interest. Sometimes it’s beneficial but sometimes it’s very costly. We suggest buyers to always go with reputed banks for landing instead of dealers offering.
Most of the banks do not take any fees on repaying loan amount before time. Although some banks or financial institutions charge fees up to three per cent. It is also better to take this information before taking a loan. Banks want clients to give some part of the price of a product as a down payment. Whereas the dealer is ready for a loan on the whole.
