HM Outlander (Rs 20.20 lakh)

Hindustan Motors launched its SUV - Outlander at a price of Rs 20.20 lakh (ex-showroom). It was launched in India launch after its successful debut in countries like North America, Japan, Australia, Canada and West Europe.


The Outlander's all wheel control is powered by a 2.4 litre, 16-valve Mitsubishi Innovative Valve Timing and Electronic Control system petrol engine. The car is capable of giving a maximum power of 170 PS/6000 rpm and has a flat torque of 226 N-m/4100 rpm.



Its rigid body leads to superior handling stability with aluminum roof panels that are lighter. This reduces roll and ads to a sedan-like driving stability. The car is assembled at HM's Tiruvallur facility near Chennai.

Fiat 500 (Rs 13 lakh)

The 500 created news around the globe last year when it was re-launched in its 21st Century avatar. It will come with the highly efficient 1248cc four-cylinder turbo-diesel motor that generates a whopping 75 bhp and 14.8 kgm.


Then there is the cool looking hatch, Bravo - complete with a glass roof, grey-black alloys and the trademark Fiat 1910cc turbo diesel motor that develops 150 bhp at 4000 rpm and a fantastic 31 kgm of torque at 2000 revs.
Both the cars will pinch the buyers' pockets. While the 500 costs Rs 13 lakh, the Bravo costs just Rs 23 lakh!!!.
