Toyota Fortuner Bookings Suspended?

The Toyota Fortuner had been launched in August 2009. This macho SUV has been working its magic on the Indian roads since then. The number of prospective car buyers interested in buying this new car is only increasing by the day and Toyota is finding it difficult to manage the demands of the ever-growing consumer. The Fortuner has received robust response from the market and has so far sold around 6,500 units. The company has already increased production to more than 950 vehicles per month from the initial 500 units per month.

What more could Toyota do? The car maker has now suspended bookings for this SUV till July in India. It intends to clear the backlog of bookings by this time. The move comes at a time when the company’s Indian subsidiary Toyota Kirloskar Motor is undertaking an exercise to change faulty brake kits of the vehicle following complaints from 220 customers.

“The average waiting period for the SUV Fortuner is around six months and we have closed bookings as we do not want our customers to wait. We will re-start bookings in June -July once we are able to clear the backlog,” Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) Deputy Managing Director Sandeep Singh said. The company would be resuming the bookings only when the waiting period comes down to three months. As of now, Toyota has pending orders of over 6,000 units.

Just yesterday we said that Toyota was already into rectifying brake problems on the Fortuner based on customer feedback on a case-to-case basis. The company had to do this as some of its customers, especially those shifting from sedans and MUVs to the Fortuner, a four wheel drive, may have felt that the brakes were a little different.

Toyota feels the actual performance of the SUV will be different from what the traditional car drivers are used to. The brakes are perfectly fine. But, Toyota does not want to take chances. Though there has been no recall, the auto maker has been replacing the brakes. Toyota says that it has received feedback from 200 customers till date.

The hybrid car, Toyota Prius has also been doing great. The company plans to sell 200 units in India this year and has already received 80 bookings for the vehicle. Isn’t that great? While the Fortuner is India’s best selling SUV, the Prius stands as the best-selling hybrid from Toyota’s stable. The car was introduced in India in January and it has received great fame as Toyota’s test vehicle for the alternative fuel technology in India.

While the Toyota Fortuner has a long waiting period of around six months, the Toyota Prius too comes with a three-month waiting period. For this year, Toyota has already ordered a consignment of 200 units and lined up the month-wise dispatch figures. TKM has delivered 12 units of the car in the Indian market since its launch.

The Toyota Prius is a car that’s imported from Japan as completely built units and is available in India in two variants at a price range of Rs 26.55 lakh to Rs 27.86 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). So, if you want to buy a Fortuner or Prius hybrid, there’s no other go. Wait a little longer for the car to reach your porch. The best things do take long to come, but it’s always worth the wait.

A Big Fight to Win over Small Car Buyers in India

The Indian roads are just getting flooded with new cars. The latest ones on the roads are the little monsters. The small car segment has begun ruling our roads and eating up the sales of the bigger cars. The steep growth path that the segment currently exhibits looks great. This year has been remarkable for the auto industry compared to 2009.

Fuelling this growth is the slew of new and facelifted models from the automotive majors. Everybody is in the race to launch new cars; Volkswagen, Ford, Chevrolet and market leader Maruti are all in the game. With sturdy growth in the number of first-time car buyers from 24 per cent last year to 32 per cent this year, according to the JD Power statistics, the market is set to expand even more.

“One noticeable change is how two-wheeler owners are entering the A2 segment directly. First-time buyers are opting for the Rs 3 lakh-plus category instead of sub-compact cars,” said S.N. Burman of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, during the launch of the new WagonR. To cater to this market, Maruti Suzuki had spent Rs 300 Crore to give its best selling car after Alto, the WagonR, a facelift. The base model of the new WagonR, with new chassis and interiors is priced at a competitive Rs 3.29 lakh. Who wouldn’t like to own such a great car at such a low price?

Other contenders do not want to be left behind. Auto majors like Chevrolet and Ford are also pricing their models aggressively. The base model of the Chevrolet Beat is available at Rs 3.34 lakh and Figo at Rs 3.49 Lakh. The base model of Polo from premium marque Volkswagen sells at Rs 4.42 lakh. All-time popular Maruti Suzuki is set to unveil yet another hatchback this June. That’s not all. Toyota plans to bring in the Etios later this year. Whoa! So many launches.

From Alto to the premium Honda Jazz and Skoda Fabia, people interested in the A2 segment will now have 24 models to choose from. Figo, Ford’s trump card in India, is expected to turn the company’s fortunes in the east. “With Figo, I would expect that to rise to about 8 to 10 per cent,” said Michael Boneham, the company president. The Volkswagen Polo, with a great number advance bookings happening, has also been seeing very good days.

If we speak of fuel consumption, maintenance or the cost of spares, it is mostly the smaller cars belonging to the A2 segment that win. Ford and Chevrolet are not just working on their dealership and workshop penetration and localizing their components, but also trying to reduce cost of maintenance. General Motors has been trying hard to attract customers with its Chevy promise of the 3-year warranty or 100,000km. Ford has lowered cost of ownership in terms of service intervals, cost of periodic maintenance, and cost of repairing damaged parts by about 7 to 17 per cent from the existing competition rates.

BMW launches sixth-generation 5 Series in India

BMW has launched the much awaited sixth-generation 5-Series sedan in the Indian market. The executive luxury sedan range debuted in the international market recently and the company has been quick to bring it to India, which, over the years, has become a major market for the company.

The 5 Series sedan was slated for a late June or an early July launch. But fuelled by the launch of Mercedes E-Class Coupe, BMW had to revise its strategies and launch the sedan a month or two earlier than previously planned.

The new line-up of the BMW 5 Series sedan consists of four variants, the 523i & 535i (petrol) and 525d & 530d (diesel). While 535i petrol engine generate a maximum power of 306 bhp, the 523i petrol engine manages a 204 bhp. The diesel engines also give a power performance. The 530d produces an optimum power of 245 bhp and the 525d brings a maximum output of 204 bhp. All the four variants feature a straight-six configuration for the engines.

BMW 523i and the BMW 525d have been paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Automatic transmission with shift paddles on the steering wheel comes as a standard feature on the BMW 535i and the BMW 530d. The innovative gear shift configuration brings unprecedented performance and efficiency.

Car designer Chris Bangle has given the new-generation BMW a very sporty and muscular look. A long and well-contoured engine lid, short overhangs and a coupe-like roofline give the car a very charismatic look. Also, the car has the wheelbase in its segment.

Both the diesel variants and the 523i will be assembled at BMW’s Chennai plant and the existing production capacity too will be revamped to bring it in line with the company’s new sales target for the year 2010. The 535i will be available as completely-built unit (CBU). The existing 5 Series is the best selling model in BMW India’s product portfolio.

In 2009, BMW had managed to snatch the number one position from arch-rival Mercedes with sales of 3619 units against 3247 of Mercedes. Internationally, the past five generations of the 5 Series have sold a total of 55 lakh units and BMW is anticipating a double digit growth in the Indian market.

BMW has managed to keep the pricing of the new BMW 5 Series very competitive. While the petrol powered 523i starts at Rs 38.9 lakh, the diesel engine 525d will go for Rs 39.9 lakh. The larger 530d variant with the larger diesel powerplant will go for Rs 45.9 lakh. The higher end 535i will be sold with a price tag of 58 lakh.

Indian Racing Circuit to Debut at the 2011 F1 Season

Formula One races have always been a hot favourite of most Indians. And now, they would not have to fly to other countries to get a first hand experience of the exciting races. Yes, India is coming up with F1 racing track in Jaypee Green Sports City, about 32km from the National Capital, New Delhi.

We know that it could not get any better than that for all the F1 fanatics in India. The track has been designed by F1 circuit design legend Hermann Tilke and has undergone a number of modifications to make it even more exciting. The circuit is scheduled for a 2011 debut and consists of twists and turns through 16 corners covering 5.1km a lap. The track mostly contains medium speed corners where F1 cars would lap at an average speed of 210km/h.

The track design has undergone a number of revisions. The most important one being the Turn 3, which has been made wider now so as to allow F1 cars to go side by side adding to overtaking and drama which then continues onto the long back straight good for 320km/h before slowing down for turn 4. After an array of analysis and simulations, race organisers have concluded to modify Turn 7, in order to maximise overtaking opportunities.

Grand Stands of capacity 13,000 will welcome the cars at turn 1o and 11. The main grand stand has a capacity to accommodate 30,000 spectators, adding to the total capacity of 120,000. Selling the tickets is not a concern with the race organisers as they believe that Indian driver Karun Chandhok and local team Force India will pull in the crowd.

Track boss Mark Hughes said “Karun’s presence on the F1 grid has certainly whipped up a lot of interest in India.”

“The feedback from the teams has also been very encouraging and we hope the race will speak for itself,” he added.

This track would assist India to host a number of other events too, such as the A1 GP, Moto GP, Touring cars, Asia level events and so on. The Delhi circuit will not only get India a global recognition but also serve as an inspiration for the budding racing drivers. The circuit will witness the performance of Indian driver like Karun Chandhok and the Force India team in its debut race.

An Exclusive BMW Small Car for the Megacities

Hopeless days call for desperate actions. German luxury car maker BMW had a real bad time last year. The auto maker showed great sales figures in key markets like China and India. The company’s global sales, however, dived down 10 per cent to 1.29 million vehicles. With sales and profits falling off so drastically, BMW AG Chairman Norbert Reithofer had to create some magic.

The man did create the magical effect. Don’t be surprised. Haven’t you heard of the recent announcement made by Norbert Reithofer? He very recently disclosed that BMW will start making a new front-wheel drive small car from 2014. Wondering what’s new? The smallest BMW car under its own brand, till date, is the 4.3 metre-long 1-series. This car is comparable to the Honda City on Indian roads. Now, the new car will be smaller, a size comparable to what is currently sold as large hatchbacks in India. Got the point?

The new small BMW will, however, still be a premium luxury car. The small one will at least easily fit inside an overcrowded parking lot though. The BMW small car will have hybrid engine technology and will be designed for metro residents. For the first time, a BMW car will have a front-wheel drive. The manufacturing of these cars is believed to be cost effective, and on low-power city conditions, possibly better.

BMW has started exploring alternative energy sources and we will have the newcomer with an innovative hybrid engine. Great go BMW! The car maker is already making considerable changes in its engine technologies. While car buyers even today get the company’s fuel-efficient and powerful “Efficient Dynamics” system, the company has set in motion a wide-scale test of an electric vehicle with 600 electric versions of the “Mini” being driven across the globe.

BMW is now launching both full and partial hybrid technology across a number of cars in its range. So, does this not make it clear that the car maker’s small car plans join together with the company’s larger game plan? The new small car, hailed as the “Megacity Car” by BMW, is a car designed for the needs of the world’s megacities. And this is where India fits in.

Our cities are growing so large and on the fully packed roads of these large cities, a small, efficient BMW would work a lot better than a gigantic luxury sedan. Efficient engines mated with hybrid technologies can work wonders. BMW may not have plans to launch such cars in India immediately. However, it does look like the car maker is persuading car buyers to go green.

BMW was India’s largest luxury car brand last year and wants to cling on to the top spot this year as well. 3000 BMW cars were sold last year. The outgoing BMW India President, Peter Kronschnabl, has set his team a target of 4,000 cars this year. With the Indian economy back on its feet, the target may not be a stretch.

Toyota Replaces Brake Kits in the Fortuner on Case-by-Case Basis

Recently, we have been hearing lots about the Toyota recalls. Now, the car maker has admitted to replacing the brake kits in its bestselling SUV, the Toyota Fortuner. The sports utility vehicle was launched in August 2009 and soon after, the car buyers had started complaining about poor braking. Automobile maker Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd is now replacing the kits only on a case-by-case basis and not approaching customers to get them changed.

The drama happened. Only later, i.e., cars manufactured after February 2010 carried the new brakes. Those who own the Fortuner car built before this will have to get the brakes replaced. Toyota is doing it free of cost of course. At least 180 customers who had bought the car have complained to the company regarding the brakes.

“We did receive queries from consumers regarding the brakes and merely returned them to give a better feeling of braking to the driver. The quality of braking and the distance it takes for the car to stop remains the same. As the returning required changing the whole kit, hence the brakes were changed. There is absolutely no compromise on the safety of the consumers,” said Sandeep Singh, deputy managing director, marketing, TKML. Singh emphasized that “there is no case of a recall in the Fortuner as the brakes are perfectly fine”. Really?

The company has seen and borne enough. If we consider the car maker’s inventory across the globe, nearly 8 million Toyota cars have been recalled in the past year for various defects. Have the recalls marred the company’s reputation? TKML claims that the kind of problems it is encountering with the Fortuner is common in the business. It didn’t put a number to the costs it is incurring on account of changing the braking system, but said it had a budget for warranty-related expenses.

Toyota is right. The defects may be common in the business. Also, it is surprising to note that the Toyota Fortuner has come out as the country’s best selling SUV just eight months after its launch. The roads have already seen 8,000 units and the figure is more than all other comparable SUVs put together during the period.

A Delhi-based Fortuner owner said that he had bought the new SUV in December. Since day one, he had a feeling that there must be some braking problem until finally in January he bumped into a biker after the car refused to stop in time in spite of applying the brakes. After persistent haggling with the dealer, they fitted the brakes of the Prado, Toyota’s other SUV, in February. But Singh said, “Within a month of its launch (August 2009), we decided to educate consumers on what to expect from a 2 tonne vehicle”. He explained that a new SUV would definitely have a different feel than a new car.

“It will not perform like any other sedan and it needs to be driven in a different way. Much of the problem is not technical but in the mindset of the customers. The car is a big success and had there been any major issue, customers would not be buying it like this,” he said. India has an active consumer redressal system involving consumer courts. However, we do not have any recall laws.

Mitsubishi plans to launch compact car in India

Well, another car manufacturer has woken up from its deep slumber and taken notice of the fast growing small car market in India. This time around, it is a Japanese carmaker better known as Mitsubishi Motors. Mitsubishi is considering the launch of a compact family hatchback in India over the next three to four years.

Mitsubishi is planning to bring the new small car that it is developing for the Thai market. The project, which is intended to attract investments into the Southeast country, is being backed by the Thailand government.

This car is built on a new platform and features a 1.3-litre petrol engine. Mitsubishi would likely retune the engine and decrease the capacity of the car in India, so as to avail the advantage of the excise duty norms laid out by the government.

Passenger cars lesser than four metres in length and engine capacity of not more that 1.2 litres in petrol and 1.5 litres in diesel fall under the lowest tax slots in India.

The Indian arm of the Japanese motor company, however, is denying any such plans. Pritam Saikia, head-Marketing, HM-Mitsubishi refused to offer any comments. He said, “Although India is an emerging market for Mitsubishi, it is too premature to comment on our future product plans, including the small car. Having said that, all our expansion plans are on track and we will take a call on our small car plans at a later point of time.”

The company has earlier planned to launch a compact car in India in 2011-12. But the plan took a back seat following the economic meltdown and a scarcity of funds. But as things pick up pace, the company is reviving its old plans.

The plans also included reinforcement of fresh capital to increase the production capacity at its Chennai plant to 1,00,000 units from about 12,000 units annually.

The development of the eco-car is funded by the Board of Investors in Thailand and an aggregate of Baht 8 billion, equivalent of Rs 1,100 crore, has been earmarked for the project. The project meets the criteria earlier set by the board which requires a minimum production capacity of 1,00,000 units per annum.

Small cars have always proved to bring in the much desired (or needed) sales volume for a car maker. The most suitable example would be the Ford Figo. Figo helped save the Ford boat that was sinking fast. Hope Mitsubishi small car would do the same trick for the carmaker.

Mitsubishi has been in India for more than a decade but the absence of a small car has been a major drawback affecting its market share. Mitsubishi has so far launched only its premium sport utility vehicle (SUV) and upper mid-size sedans in the Indian market. Mitsubishi currently sells the Pajero, Outlander, Montero, Lancer and Cedia in the Rs 7.75 lakh to Rs 38 lakh range.

Better late than never. What say!

Land Rover Middle East supports Emirati woman adventurer

Emirati adventurer Elham Al Qasimi with 2010 Range Rover Sport

Car manufacturers take up to a number of marketing strategies. And a tried-and-tested one is sponsoring sports events. Sometime back Volvo gave away its twin-turbo diesel car S80 to the winner of India-South Africa ODI tournament and recently, Toyota decided to sponsor the National Junior Golf Tour.

And here is another one to add to the list. Land Rover Middle East and UAE dealers Al Tayer Motors will be sponsoring Emirati adventurer, Elham Al Qasimi.

Elham Al Qasimi is heading to the North Pole, which makes her the first Arab Woman to do so and she is receiving a little help from the Tata Motors owned British off-road marque, Land Rover.

Elham started her unassisted and unsupported expedition to the Geographic North Pole on the 11 of April. The journey will take three weeks on skis. During her stringent training programme in London, she seemed to involve pulling a Range Rover that weighs about two-and-a-half tonnes.

Land Rover and Al Tayer Motors gave Elham a 2010 Range Rover Sport which assisted her during her training regime to replicate the motion of pulling a dogsled during her unaided trek across the North Pole. Elham also got an opportunity to continue her training on a different terrain when Land Rover UK provided her with a 2010 LR4 model, which she successfully pulled under the supervision of an expert team.

Elham started out by pulling one tyre of a saloon vehicle and then she advanced to pulling two tyres of a 4×4 vehicle. Elham seemed very pleased with the initiative taken by Land Rover and went ahead to laud its spirit and endurance.

“Land Rover’s sponsorship of my North Pole expedition is a testament to their strong commitment to support and partner with individuals that embody the same sense of spirit and adventure that shines through in all their cars,” said Elham.

“I am very proud that Land Rover is my partner in this because they have a history of supporting successful adventure expeditions. By allowing their brand and name to be associated with adventurers who are breaking pre-conceived notions and boundaries and stretching the limits of human endurance and strength, Land Rover shows that they passionately believe in the same indomitable attitude and spirit,” added the much determined and spirited young Emirati.

The Range Rover Sport given to Elham is a part of the new 2010 Land Rover line-up which is available throughout the UAE. The SUV offers top-end luxury, high performance, latest technology and fuel efficiency with less carbon emissions. A slew of other high tech features and upgrades add to the appeal of the new 5.0l petrol 2010 Land Rover range.

Didn’t we earlier say that women can do everything, right from designing a car to pulling a monster of a Land Rover.

The Junior Golf Tour – Toyota Plays Along

Recently, we had Volvo playing games. Car makers have started promoting their brands through sports, and now, Toyota too wants to play along. The National Junior Golf Tour has found a long term sponsor in Toyota Kirloskar Motors. The quest to explore India’s talent, to discover potential Olympians to represent our country at the 2016 Olympic Games has already kicked off. The Toyota Etios Tour 2010 at the Golden Greens Golf Resort Gurgaon has begun.

120 junior golfers in the age group of 10 – 18 yrs will be participating in this elite level national ranking championship. National and international junior team selections are entirely based on the performance of the junior golfers during this tour. Toyota indeed has done a great job sponsoring the tour.

The development of junior golf in India gets high support here and the annual golf tour encourages the Indian junior golfers to focus on intensification of their preparation for training programs. There’s nothing more encouraging than the Etios Junior Golf Tour to nurture young talent. The Toyota Etios Junior Golf Tour does what it can to inculcate in today’s young players the focus and the drive required to emerge as winners in prestigious international forums such as the Asian Junior Amateur Championship and ultimately, the 2016 Olympic Games.

“We welcome Toyota as the new title sponsor of the IGU’s National Junior Tour. We are very pleased to have Toyota and Rishi Narain Golf Management associated with this tour which will surely lift the tour to a new level of professionalism. We see huge potential in our juniors and there is no doubt that this is the training ground where we will find the players for the 2016 Olympics and beyond”, said Maj Gen Parmar, Director General, Indian Golf Union.

The Toyota Etios Junior Golf Tour consists of seven 4-day tournaments every year. The seven tournaments have been spread across regions all over India with one of these tournaments in April, three in May, two in November and one in December. Following one practice round on day one, this 4-day event begins on April 27th and is the Indian Golf Union’s official National Junior Tour. The schedule will be exciting. Top ranked IGU merit list players will be competing in 4 age group categories, “16 – 18”, “14 – 16”, “12- 14” and “10 -12”.

The Toyota Etios Junior Golf Tour marks a new epoch in junior golf. The current National Men’s Champion, Chikkarangappa from Bangalore will be leading the charge at age 16. He will play at least four tournaments on the Junior Tour. Ashbir Saini, the recent Nepal Open winner who beat several top professionals in Kathmandu, will also be joining.

Top juniors participating would be Manu Gandas ( #1 ) from DLF GC Gurgaon, #2 Shubhankar Sharma from Army GC, Delhi and Honey Baisoya #3 from Delhi GC from the 14-16 yr age group. In the 12 – 14 yr category, in action will be #! Piyush Snagwan from DLF GC, #2 Virad Madappa from Kokota, #3 Firoz Garewal from Chandgarh and #4 Vidhit Singh from Delhi. In the 10 – 12 Yr category, #1 Karandeep Kochar who won 6 tournaments last year leads the field from Chandigarh, #2 Arjun Puri of Delhi and #3 Arjun Prasad from Hyderabad are the top ranked players.

If the Volvo S80 was presented to the man of the series at the India-South Africa ODI tournament, here we have the entire golf event sponsored by Toyota. Way to go Toyota!
