One look at the sales figure of the Toyota Innova which has been around forever is enough to tell you that a ‘well made’ MUV is a sure-shot formula to success. And now with the recently launched Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, this segment boiling and how. And it’s easy to fathom why this is such a popular segment. There is lots of space, an efficient oil burner under the hood and now thanks to the Ertiga, smart compact dimensions as well.
Off lately the rising prices of fuel have become directly proportional to the downsizing of engines. Case in point is the new range of eco-boost engines from Ford which already claimed the envious Engine of the Year award. Promising not only some very good kmpl figures but also equally impressive horsepower, these small engines are the big news. BMW too has followed suite and after making an announcement last year have finally unveiled their 3-cylinder gems. Available in petrol and diesel, the 1.5 litre three-cylinder TwinPower range of turbocharged engines will soon spawn four and six-cylinder variants to complete the overhauled TwinPower range. In three-cylinder guise, the engine is destined for use across several BMW group models, including the next-generation MINI models, upcoming i8 hybrid coupe, 1 Series, with 3 Series a possibility.
