Honda to launch diesel cars in India by 2012

For a long time cars like Honda City and Honda Civic have been favourites and churned up good figures.

But recently there has been a flood of new launches that have posed a serious threat to the almost monopolistic models by Honda.

Cars like Volkswagen Vento and Fiat Linea are some of the biggest challengers to the supremacy of Honda City, one of Honda's higgest selling models.

Also, till now there has been no diesel car launched by Honda, which is one of its disadvantages.

However, this is about to change as Honda Siel Cars India will launch two diesel engine options by 2012.

According to sources Honda would bring the diesel engine to India after its launch in Europe and it would be fitted into cars like City, Jazz and the new small car Honda is developing.

The engine is a new 2.0 litre CRDI diesel unit.

Right now Honda offers Honda Accord and the Honda CR-V in 2.2 litre diesel versions in the overseas market.

And diesel engine variants are important on the portfolio of every carmaker wanting to make it big in the Indian market as Indian buyers buy more diesel cars than petrol.

The current Honda portfolio includes cars like CR-V, City, Civic, Accord and Jazz.

Out of these three cars are likely to get the new diesel engine.

The car is available in three variants out of which Honda City 1.5 E MT and Honda City 1.5 S MT are equipped with 1.5L, 1497cc, i-VTEC petrol engine with the 5-speed manual transmission gearbox that is able to produce 118PS power at 6600rpm and 14.9Kg-m torque at 4600rpm.

The Honda City 1.5 S AT too has the same engine and specification and it has automatic transmission gearbox.

The Honda City is priced between 833,500 - 997,500 (ex-showroom, New Delhi).

Honda displayed a concept small car, which is yet unnamed, at the Auto Expo in January this year and is planning to launch it in India by 2011.

The small car is expected to have a 1200 cc engine and is expected to have all the necessary features including airbags, ABS and G-CON body standards, which keep the integrity of the passenger cabin intact in an accident.

Honda has decided to price the small car below 500,000 to be able to compete with Maruti Suzuki Swift and Hyundai i20.

The small car will have over 80 per cent local components to save on the cost of spare parts.

Patent Search Reveals 2012 Honda Civic *update*

Or at least what it may have looked like.... This looks pretty much like the smaller Honda City sold in Malaysia, so I don't know how accurate this would have been anyway.

*UPDATE*

This was old news, and the orig. site agrees that this is the 2009 Honda City.

The New Car 2009, Honda City

The Indian market version of the highly respected automotive publication from UK, AutoCar, has released the first exclusive images of the new Honda City. This is probably the most important car launch of the year for ASEAN region markets, in terms of volume. Credits to autoincar for the scans below.Sources cited by AutoCar indicates that global launch will be on November 2008, so expect launch in other countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand to follow suit within the next few months after that.The current generation City.

Unlike previous generation City which is built mainly with input from Thailand, the next City is developed with a lot of emphasis on the growing Indian small passenger car segment (on top of Thailand's market requirements) that is currently dominated by Maruti-Suzuki. Earlier, there have been spyshots of pre-production development units being driven around cities of India but I hesitated to post it up as I wasn't too convinced that it was the real deal. But if AutoCar publishes it, rest assured that it is the real deal.

Even More Pic's of the 2009 Honda City (again, not for north america)

Just some more pic's of basically a Fit sedan with the FCX front end. Looks really nice, but with how well the Civic and the Fit sell here in North America, I think that there'd be alot of 'self-cannabalization' within the lineup.

09 Honda City Spied in China

Again, there are no plans of bringing this slightly bigger version of the FIT in a sedan form to North America, but it will sell in the UK, Japan, and elsewhere. Looks alot like a BMW from the back end.

Another Look at the Next Gen Honda City

Not for North America. Get used to the new front end, I think it will be with Honda for awhile.

Here's a link to my previous article on the car;

More Pic's of the Proposed Next Honda City

Basically a Sedan version of our North American FIT, being re-designed, looks like it could get a bit more of it's 'own' design. Here is a pic of a European Honda Civic where you can see alot of the design cues from the front end.

We will not be getting this smaller than a Civic car here in North America any time soon, and with the FIT doing so well, I can't imagine it ever coming over.

Ever Wonder What a Sedan FIT Might Look Like? Here's the Honda CITY.

This vehicle is not sold in North America, but competes directly with the Yaris Sedan in other countries. The pictures above are of the upcoming model change, whereas the bottom pic is the outgoing model. Anyway, not sure we'll ever see this car here in North America, and I can't say that there wouldn't be alot of self-cannibalisation if it ever did come here (ie: would eat into the existing FIT and Civic sales, just like the Yaris does to the Corolla). Anyway, just thought I'd bring it forward for those interested.
