2011 Peugeot 308 Facelift Revealed peugeot 308 facelift 1
Peugeot released pictures and details of the revised 308 hatchback, cabrio and SW estate versions ahead of official debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. Clearly some of the feline styling details of the old 308 are missing!
Instead the car adopts a more grown-up look inspired by the 508 sedan and gets latest LED headlamps and running lights. That’s good, it’s small mad enough to be distinguished in a car park among other ‘ordinary’ hatchbacks.
The new Peugeot 308 also benefits form a range of highly refined and frugal petrol and diesel engines, and can even be had with Peugeot’s micro-hybrid e-HDi Stop & Start technology based on the 1.6 litre HDi FAP 112 Euro 5 diesel engine that emits only 98 grams of CO2 per 100 km. This engine option will also be available with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed electronically controlled manual gearbox (EGC). This will give the New Peugeot 308 the lowest emissions in its segment
If you want performance though, you have to go for the GT Hatchback & CC which get the 1.6 litre THP engine with 200 hp and a proper manual gearbox.
2011 Peugeot 308 comes in four multi-model trim levels; Access, SR, Active and Allure. A range topping hatchback and CC THP 200 model will also be available in a single GT trim level. AS for the standard features, all trims include air conditioning, ESP (Electronic Stability Programme), ABS, EBFD, EBA, front and rear electric windows with child security, remote control central door locking with deadlocks and six SMART safety airbags.
Peugeot has also gone to enormous length to make sure the car is as efficient as possible and therefore environment friendly. Overall weight of the car is reduced by 25 kg on average on all models, they’ve been fitted with new 16” ultra low rolling resistance tyres,  all engines are optimised (VTi, THP petrol and HDi diesel engines to Euro5), and the body has a Cx of 0.28 whihc means less fuel consumption!
On sale from May 2011, Peugeot 308 has a base price of 15.800 Euro in Europe and £15,245 in UK.-motorward.com

Honda Jazz Shuttle: Compact alternative to Innova?

If the Alto is India’s favorite hatchback, then the Toyota Innova is India’s beloved MPV. The Toyota baby has captured the Indian psyche like no other MPV. Extraordinarily, it has managed to sell in both commercial and personally owned segments without loosing the charm to either one of them.
Many companies have tried their luck in this segment but only M&M has managed make a dent in its sales with the Xylo that too only mildly. Since 2005 when it was launched, the Innova has always outsold its competitors by a fairly large margin.
As they say, ‘in order to cut a diamond, one needs a diamond’, similarly in order to take down a Japanese, one needs a Japanese. The Japanese, this time in question, is Honda and the car (or rather MPV) in question is the Jazz Shuttle.

Honda has just released teaser images of their new small MPV – the Jazz Shuttle based on the Jazz platform. Essentially, what they have done is taken a Jazz (or a Honda Fit as some would prefer), put it on a high-fat diet and the result is obvious. Although Honda calls it an MPV, its more station wagon because it only has a 2 row seating arrangement.

Astonishingly, the Jazz MPV looks quite good. It’s like the Jazz was always meant to be an MPV ;)
The front bumper has been given a minor treatment to make it look more butch.

On the engine front, the current 1.2L has been been replaced with a 1.5L Vtec engine. Honda has also confirmed about a 1.3L hybrid model.
In order to create more interior and luggage space in a compact body, the Fit Shuttle has a center-tank layout arrangement
The interiors haven’t been fiddled with a lot. But that’s not a bad thing because the Jazz does have fantastic interiors in the first place.-indianautosblog.com

2011 Skoda Fabia Scout Economical & Unique Mini-MPV 105 bhp

The new Škoda Fabia Scout adds another model to the ruggedly attractive range of off-road-inspired editions. Following on from the Škoda Fabia Combi Scout and the Škoda Roomster Scout, which have so far proved hugely popular in the small car and compact class, the hatchback version of the Škoda Fabia Scout now also benefits from their unmistakable style. It fulfils the consumer demand for low-priced, individual mobility and, of course, all three models, benefit from the new, fresh face of the Fabia series and its numerous technical improvements.

In recent years the Scout versions have developed into a well-established part of the model range. The Škoda Fabia Scout rounds off the lower end of the range by appealing to customers who may not need the increased loading capacity of the Škoda Fabia Combi Scout or Škoda Roomster Scout, but who nevertheless want to enjoy the benefits of the strong, rugged looks of a Scout version. As with previous Scout models, the Škoda Fabia will help significantly to add emotion to the brand as well appeal to those who are looking for something that little bit different. Excellent value for money, reliability and its attractive looks are also well-known virtues of the Škoda brand, all of which can be found in the Škoda Fabia Scout.

The small car segment is generally regarded as being characterised by functionality and economy. The Škoda Fabia Scout breathes fresh air into this class, with its robust good looks that add to this practical small car, thanks to its evocative, specially designed bumpers and off-road design. The standard black and silver roof rails – fitted to both Škoda Fabia Combi Scout and Škoda Fabia Scout – as well as the protective plastic coverings along its flanks make the Škoda Fabia Scout a particularly characterful car, whose design represents both zest for life and reliable style.
The Škoda Fabia Scout is equipped with alloy wheels especially designed for this model. Instead of the standard 16-inch wheels, customers can upgrade to larger 17-inch versions of the same design. Front fog lamps and tinted windows round off the exterior features of the Škoda Fabia Scout.

Distinctive Scout styling also features in the passenger compartment: The upholstery, similar to that in the Škoda Fabia Combi Scout and the Škoda Roomster Scout is made of hard-wearing and comfortable material. The floormats bear the Scout logo, which also appears on the boot to underline the Fabia Scout’s identity. The Scout’s pedals are fitted with brushed stainless steel treads as standard. The list of optional extras is identical to that of its Škoda Fabia Combi Scout and Škoda Roomster Scout siblings. These revised models continue to impress with their excellent luggage capacity of up to 1485 litres in the Škoda Fabia Combi Scout, and 1810 litres in the Škoda Roomster Scout. Škoda’s unique mini-MPV concept also features the flexible VarioFlex rear seat system, which allows the passenger compartment of the Škoda Roomster Scout to be configured to accommodate the most diverse haulage tasks.

The excellent design, standard equipment levels and assured sense of style set the Škoda Fabia and Škoda Roomster Scout apart fro their competition. The highly sophisticated engine range, which consists of four petrol engines with outputs from 63 kW (86 bhp) to 77 kW 105 bhp) and three diesel units from 55 kW (75 bhp) to 77 kW (105 bhp), are both agile and economical companions.-distrocar.com
