A Quick review of Jeep Renegade, Mahindra eKUV100, Tata Tigor EV
The sub-compact SUV market is booming in India. The segment is flooding with cars that are offering tough competition to each other and a wonderful feature-filled luxury to the customers. The new car show that every vehicle in this range has something promising to offer. Be it Mahindra eKUV100, Jeep Renegade or Tata Tigor, the customers, would possess some of the most well-designed cars on the Indian market.
Jeep Renegade
The Jeep Renegade is an entry point into the Jeep lifestyle that can be afforded by most people. The car has some good off-road capabilities as well. The car is compact in design and performs well on the tarmac as well as the wooded trails. The Renegade might not be very quick, but offers a versatile cabin and comfortable ride. The car has been upgraded to carry a new engine, some more features and an updated exterior. The 2.4-litre engine is the base engine across all the trims, and the old engine options have been replaced. The car now gets a 9-speed automatic transmission, and the standard manual gearbox has been removed. The refreshed grille on the front and the redesigned bumper adds to the beauty of the car.
Mahindra eKUV100
Mahindra eKUV100 would go on sale in early 2020, but the company is on the works with the prototype. There will be lots of changes from the KUV100 to make the exterior and interior give off the vibes of an electric vehicle. The 'filler' caps on the front fenders can be seen as examples. The new motor would make 40kW compared to 31 kW produced by the sedan. The peak torque output would be 120 Nm. The battery can be charged in 5.75 hours on a regular charger and in 55 minutes on a fast charger. The maximum driving range of the car is about 20 km. While going through car reviews, Mahindra eKUV100 would definitely make a good stand.
Tata Tigor EV
Amongst the latest car launch review, Tata Tigor EV made headlines when Tata Motors promised to supply 10,000 units to the government. The car is not available to the customers directly, though they can try out the vehicles through car-hire services. If you ignore the stickers and badges of the EV, it will look very similar to the regular Tata Tigors. The larger modifications lie under the bonnet. There is no combustion engine in the car, but a 3-phase AC induction motor that occupies the engine bay. The car has an AC charging socket as well. The cabin will have the same neat dashboard and the chunky seats. The gear selector looks like the automatic variants, and the difference can be noticed on the instrument console.
These cars not only offer great performance but ensure a greener and cleaner environment for the people. The vehicles offer more than just comfortable riding and good agility.
