Govt is making it harder for everyone even after being aware about EV infra in India. These uncertainties around policies affect resale values greatly.
I second you forever! ❤ The bloodies just proved themselves fools ! Fords are so enjoyable to drive those have no parallels! I have had Ford Figo 2012 and then Ford Ecosports 2018, and I am still driving it..! Simply superb! 🎉
Finally someone is talking about Engines rather than safety. People need to realize that engine is equally important as safety. If people complain about safety in suzuki, then they should even complain about engines in Tata. Nobody wants to burn their money in service centers. Indian brands need to know that how their service centers are looting money by adding unwanted things during service.
The BODY of the car takes more money than the ENGINE. A sh!tbox with a great engine is a DEATH TRAP! I won't shell out my hard earned money to buy a DEATH TRAP and I'm okay to spend more and get a TATA, VW, Skoda, etc. I don't mind paying for the repairs.
NA engines are best especially of Hondas... they r masterclass... Raw power of Naturally Aspirated engine is unmatched... involvement is also great! Even companies like Lamborghini still goes with NA engines as they believe it gives the best experience!
Also to note : electric doesn't make sense for performance/ purpose built two wheels, where weight is a big factor , either on track or off road. Battery technology isn't advanced enough to keep the weight down and offer range for recreation activities outside city limits. Yes electric scooters make alot of sense as it's limited mostly within cities as it's primary purpose is only comuting for point A to point B.
Suzuki has an edge in petrol engine development. More so, the Japanese manufactures are pioneering the hybrid tech with Atkinson cycle petrol engines. I feel these will still be popular for 2 decades at least.
29:45 No doubt 1.5 iVTEC is best in the NA category but there is a need for turbo engines..Not offering it just because it's expensive seems like an excuse because brands like VW/Skoda are offering it right from base variant in their cars and other brands are offering it in their Compact Suvs at much lesser price..Honda should change their game before it's too late.
AISIN gearbox the 6 speed torque converter is a gem it's now being used by so many manufacturers. AISIN partially Owned by Toyota so it's quiet reliable as well. 🤘🏻💯
@@sasstudio7671 Maruti Omni is RWD, Maruti Eco is RWD, Bolero is RWD, Scorpio is RWD, Innova is RWD, -- if you don't know anything it is better not make fool out of yourself!
Have been watching autocar videos since very long time. But this must be the video which I enjoyed a lot. This is a really interesting topic for me. Thank you 🎉
Hormazd ... Loved the depth of the insights and everything that happens behind the scenes, including the iCN gear box... havent seen anything like this before.. my favorite topic "IC engines" Thanks a ton! Today onwards I am a big fan of yours. Would like to hear more on these topics no one really bothers to deep dive..
Was great listening to you both, especially Hormazd, I've just moved from City NA (1.5 iVTEC/CVT) to Carens Turbo Petrol (1.5/7DCT) . I must say I miss the flexible nature of that gem of Honda tech which almost sang in part throttle. Whereas turbo petrol in Carens is tuned for fuel efficiency and it's almost dead in lower rpms needs a lot of stick to be woken up and when it wakes up it's gets a move on. I was forced to move to Carens as my family outgrew the City.
Excellent!!! thanks a lot for sharing so much of knowledge. Its helping us in purchase decisions. Gods of Automobile Knowledge, Pls continue such interesting content. Thanks Again. Looking forward to next saturday.
Just feel that Ford produced such state of the art engines way ahead of time as dragon series 3 cylinder which was a lot better than many 4 cylinders including their own. Not just good efficiency and emission norms, it had class leading power torque figures and high revving nature with brisk performance. Tough luck Ford, now Maruti has done a similar engine bragging about every single thing about the Z series which you folks didn't do enough. Rip small diesels and small 4 cylinders ! - From a Zen MH410 fan 🙃
Tata 's 1.2 L & 1.5 L GDI will address their engine issues and these two may be their last engines, coz the company is investing more into electric, H2 powertrains and so on.. Tata have strong plans for their future powertrains. But as per me, they should also invest into one more mpi (1.2L)motor which can power a wide range of cars in under 4m category (coz the 1.2L GDI will be more expensive) . Investing into a 1.2L mpi in 2024 will definitely make sense for tata motors. When it comes the performance of revotron petrols, they aren't so refined and power delivery is so so and reliability is okay..the reason for these issues is the age of that engine, the revotron was introduced in 2014. They have used the max. of that engine without much investments. Yeah, hope tata will address this in the future 🤞🏼
Enjoyed watching..great job Autocar team.. consider doing podcast on Transmission options available in India, the ADAS system, the Alternative Fuel Strategy in India (CNG, H-ICE, Fuel Cell, Flex Fuel) and the New Trend in the Infotainment and Instrument Cluster in new vehicles
We should stop copying european emissions standards here. Those are too restrictive for an emerging economy like us. Proposed Euro7 standards are insane. If implemented as is in India, it would be a huge burden on our middle class.
Great session as usual. Have become a fan of these podcasts. Great to see a session on engines when the decision is more and more driven by features and safety stars..
Congratulations to mr. Hormazd and mr. Sergius for a wonderful program. Look forward to a podcast on the different types of automatic transmissions available in the Indian market presently.
@18:20 I believe Tata should have gotten some concessions from Fiat because they are in a JV, not only that they have manufactured engines for them and also they are their long time customers as well. So, Tata should have been given some leeway to modify those engines for their requirements. Just like what Aston Martin is doing with Mercedes AMG engines. (Caveat here is they got this permission post negotiation with Mercedes).
The Japanese have shown us the right way of transfer from ICE to electric..Its not a sudden leap..The Hybrid tech has helped the ICE engines to stay longer..They are not going to leave us any time soon..Even in developed countries peopel still prefer hybrid cars for long distance travel because of the risks associated with the charging of electric vehicles..And for a Market like India cost effective hybrid will be a boon..And thats why I am looking forward to the series hybrid tech that Maruti is developing..
I think electric will be one among many fuel types. Hydrogen might be an option as well. The refilling time is similar to ICE and it needs a smaller battery. Again it’d be how green the hydrogen will be and I think big companies are investing in it.
Best engines in the market as of now - 1. *Mahindra* - They have all engines avaliable from 1.2 gdi to 1.5 diesel to 2.0 smoothest petrol engine and world class 2.2 hwak which are already at par with the future emission norms for atleast 10 years and also EV 2 Hyundai/KIA - Having all possible engines and transmission options from 1.2 , 1.5 na , turbo , diesel etc and the most refined 1.5 diesel ever made with options of cng also 3. Tata - The leader of EV market in india with good engines down the bracket in tiago, altroz , nexon but only has 2.0:diesel for higher stature cars and arent able to make the 1.5 turbo since the past 5 years. 4. Maruti - Still providing the most refined 1.2 and 1.5 petrols in the country and now with the jv of toyota hybrid is in their grasp , but surely with even one diesel maruti would have been on top. 5. Vw/skoda - Both the 1.0 and 1.5 tsi are gems of engines that helped them grab the whole sedan market , the diesel gate has put a hole in their pocket which could have given them 5x more sales. 6. Toyota - Big bulky engines noisy like a truck but hence relaible , only plus point is they have hybrid and the toyota badge that can sell anything. 7. Honda - Its evidently clear the ivtec is old now no new buyers wants the ivtec now that can be seen in sales , not working on a turbo , closing their diesel and not working on a hybrid its a steep hill. 8. Renault/Nissan - Though their 1.0 turbo is good but yet not refined all other engnines are no where near the competetion. 9. Jeep - Only good side is that they have their parent comapny fiat engine , otherwise nothing is good for jeep in india
U need to explain how the 1litre Skoda or Vw engine is good? U say, u need to keep them raved for slow speeds, it's fuel economy is unpredictable and I found it is not good with vibrations at city speeds. They have removed the badging of TSI for 1litre. Is it not TSI now?
Kia strategy was spot on and it won’t fade away anytime soon! They have established themselves as top 5 car makers of India. Numerous options, great design and features, good road presence; only thing they have to do is up the safety game!
The jury is still out on the engine race. But so far as the indepth knowledge and understanding of the automotive industry is concerned, the verdict is very clear: Hormazd Sorabjee is a force to reckon with.
Dear mr hormazd and the autocar team please organise a podcast with an automobile engine designer. Lately there are many videos regarding sn+ grade engine oils for gdi automobile engines to prevent low speed pre ignition (LSPI). Will be grateful for more technical information on this subject. Also is LSPI and detonation the same. If they are different then please provide more insight. Thank you very much.
Dear Suzuki Engines are great for Indian Market only, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka Because we use Wisley not ruff like Middle East, US and EU That's why Suzuki is good in our County
Good to hear you talking on engines. Is it possible for you to talk about Primary and Secondary Imbalance and Shafts therein to reduce engine vibration? Bad Quality of Engine Mouting Pads; which results into so many safety issues. Which all car manufacturers have Worked on Primary and Secondary Imbalance Shafts into their engines?
Mahindra's investment in Korean car manufacturer SsangYong has paid them more dividends. The engines, gearbox, quality of the product, fit and finish is all because of the alliance they had with them.
Finally some great insights and thanks again for the podcast, can you take up on why not many plug in hybrids in India and what’s the road map like if any ? Thanks
would like a podcast on hot hatchbacks in India. Can we expect more powerful and fun engines like in the range of 200 hp in hatchback which is completely absent. Also comment on Hyundai i20 N line and the coming Tata Altroz Racer. Will Hyundai bring i20 N or ioniq N in India.
Tata commercial ev experience here. Our grid supply is very dirty with spikes and voltage drops.. You charge the ev at night and next morning fault has shown and charging was only 2 3 %. What do you do to fix your grid supply?
One suggestion to the Autocar team Why can't you make a podcast on how Tata Punch has become India's best selling car. Just want to understand when there's so much news around Tata's poor quality and lifeless engine how Tata managed to achieve the milestone which no other manufacturer was able to do I feel it's worth a podcast and a great case study Please try
IC engines are history - is there any point in developing anything new here? Even if EVs don’t penetrate the Indian market to that extent, there is hardly any point in wasting money on new IC engines, as ever tightening emission norms will make this tech redundant. Most manufacturers will just carry on with the existing tech - developing anything new in ICE is like throwing good money after bad...
There isn't a timeline set as yet. With EVs in the horizon there's a lot of thought about if it's worth investing in another round of emission standards
Offer people an option. In my opinion, a hybrid is a better option overall in terms of mileage than an EV since I'm not ready for an EV.I'm still driving my 2014 Mitsubishi Pajero strong after 3,10,000 kilometers! EVs will never be able to match it. A discussion on how this government would repeal the pointless legislation regarding internal combustion engines, vehicle scrapping, and other issues is what I would prefer to see and question the Government as leading House of Journalism
I think with this upcoming engines adopted by Maruti Suzuki Swift is a bit experimental because they are collaborating and doing lots of studies behind to bring some good exaggerated gem of engine which will be equally refining without disturbing its NVH level in the near future and without compromising a hitch of performance 🌹
What's the point of fun driving on Indian cities...the avg speed is only 30km/hour.... For most bharatiyas ,mileage is only priority in bumper to bumper traffic
Hyundai should never have stopped giving diesel engines to verna and i20..the entire diesel engine companies on one side and hyundai diesels on another side..hyundai diesels are the only reason we love diesels
Diesel is here to stay because Hyundai/Kia and Toyota are here to stay. Both the brands build the best diesel engines. None of the diesels from other brands stand a chance. My bet would be a diesel TC and I wouldn't bet on Turbo petrol because DCT/DSG is not built for India or Indian traffic conditions,. It's basically built for stuttgart and can't be used in Bangalore 😂😂
Since no company is investing in new engines,why they cannot pick best engines and use them in all their cars.for example 1.5 diesel from hyundai.2.2 diesel from mahindra.1.5 petrol from maruti or Hyundai etc.
Miss those days not very long back when we used to have smooth, frugal and torquey diesel engines ruling the market and noisy 3cyl petrols used to be reserved for cheaper cars only.
Hormazd, pls give yr feedback (not specific company's propaganda) What is the difference in Toyota Engine and Suzuki engines they use in Neo Hyrider and other cobrands models.
Err, once the public perception changes about EV, there would be lack of demand for the ICE vehicles. The perception about EVs is quite bad, most use their vehicles within cities, yet are afraid of "range" of the EV. :D
Given the size of our country and the long distances we love to travel on our holidays, ICE will be there for a while. Absolutely correct when you say we will be the last men standing on the ICE engines. It is important for manufactures to concentrate on the demand of this country and not impose Global Strategies to India.
@autocarindia1- Next discussion on biofuels especially Hydrogen blend with CNG as part of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to cut imported natural gas cost. More technical with easy understood discussion on Flex fuel future in next 5 years to support ICE engine ecosystem.
Look at ev infrastructure in India, forget 2030, even 2040 is not at all practical, And why EV, practically hybrid will be the best option.. "Cars without engine are not cars" most of the enthusiasts across the world strongly share this sentiment..
You've forgotten the great Ford's 1.5(D) on Aspire,Figo... One Hundred HP & 26-28Kmpl if you drive below 110KMPH..190KMPH and still there's some stamina..woww!!!

Thank you :)
Diesel engines are still value for money in long term. The reliability, economy and drive experience is unparalleled.
Confused btw Kia Sonet diesel auto and Xuv 3xo auto? Which one to buy??
Indian oil extra green diesel is also there so pollution is not prime reason to switch
Is buying a used innova 2015 worth it?
Diesels will be first to gone , whether u agree or not it is fact
Govt is making it harder for everyone even after being aware about EV infra in India. These uncertainties around policies affect resale values greatly.

Ok

Turbo is a choice but not a winner 🏆, 90 percent of the cretas sold are NAs
Turbo is way to save cost and increase maintinace cost and hence Honda avoids it
Is Honda being overly protective?

@18:20 I believe Tata should have gotten some concessions from Fiat because they are in a JV, not only that they have manufactured engines for them and also they are their long time customers as well. So, Tata should have been given some leeway to modify those engines for their requirements. Just like what Aston Martin is doing with Mercedes AMG engines. (Caveat here is they got this permission post negotiation with Mercedes).

Learnt a lot . Nice vedios. One question. Are Korean IVT and honda CVT localised?
Excellent discussions 🎉 Thank you guys
Fantastic podcast! This has now become a weekly routine for me!
Maruti's fuel efficiency is also a function of their cars' bodyweight.

You didn't talk about Bolero which I feel is phenomenal. It is more than 25 yr old.
Tata commercial ev experience here.
Our grid supply is very dirty with spikes and voltage drops..
You charge the ev at night and next morning fault has shown and charging was only 2 3 %.
What do you do to fix your grid supply?
One suggestion to the Autocar team
Why can't you make a podcast on how Tata Punch has become India's best selling car.
Just want to understand when there's so much news around Tata's poor quality and lifeless engine how Tata managed to achieve the milestone which no other manufacturer was able to do

Today it makes no sense to buy ICE car for only city use & for mid haul inter-city drives
Will Always miss the G13 / G16. Awesome to tune and turbocharge, Amazing engines for those who enjoy driving.
IC engines are history - is there any point in developing anything new here?
Even if EVs don’t penetrate the Indian market to that extent, there is hardly any point in wasting money on new IC engines, as ever tightening emission norms will make this tech redundant.

If the car drive becomes lifeless fr whatever reasons, then it's car driving is over. Respects to people who made driving a pleasure . ❤️🙏
Lets do a pidcast on how synthetic fuels can give ICE a new lease of life
Both Peugeot TUD5 and Fiat 1.3 MultiJet were fantastic engines
They certainly were!
Offer people an option. In my opinion, a hybrid is a better option overall in terms of mileage than an EV since I'm not ready for an EV.I'm still driving my 2014 Mitsubishi Pajero strong after 3,10,000 kilometers! EVs will never be able to match it. A discussion on how this government would repeal the pointless legislation regarding internal combustion engines, vehicle scrapping, and other issues is what I would prefer to see and question the Government as leading House of Journalism
I think with this upcoming engines adopted by Maruti Suzuki Swift is a bit experimental because they are collaborating and doing lots of studies behind to bring some good exaggerated gem of engine which will be equally refining without disturbing its NVH level in the near future and without compromising a hitch of performance 🌹

What's the point of fun driving on Indian cities...the avg speed is only 30km/hour....
For most bharatiyas ,mileage is only priority in bumper to bumper traffic
Hyundai should never have stopped giving diesel engines to verna and i20..the entire diesel engine companies on one side and hyundai diesels on another side..hyundai diesels are the only reason we love diesels
Diesel is here to stay because Hyundai/Kia and Toyota are here to stay. Both the brands build the best diesel engines. None of the diesels from other brands stand a chance. My bet would be a diesel TC and I wouldn't bet on Turbo petrol because DCT/DSG is not built for India or Indian traffic conditions,. It's basically built for stuttgart and can't be used in Bangalore 😂😂
Mahindra engines are way way better than Hyundai and fiats, it as good as Toyota's
When the discussion goes into VW, they joy to ride triumphs! The speakers switched to feel mode.
Since no company is investing in new engines,why they cannot pick best engines and use them in all their cars.for example 1.5 diesel from hyundai.2.2 diesel from mahindra.1.5 petrol from maruti or Hyundai etc.
Would buy a Hybrid because of Best of both ICE & EVs.
It improves efficency hence affordable option.
ICE engines are engineering marvel!!!
Miss those days not very long back when we used to have smooth, frugal and torquey diesel engines ruling the market and noisy 3cyl petrols used to be reserved for cheaper cars only.
Hormazd, pls give yr feedback (not specific company's propaganda) What is the difference in Toyota Engine and Suzuki engines they use in Neo Hyrider and other cobrands models.
Err, once the public perception changes about EV, there would be lack of demand for the ICE vehicles. The perception about EVs is quite bad, most use their vehicles within cities, yet are afraid of "range" of the EV. :D
Honda's i-VTEC is so sweet ❤
Given the size of our country and the long distances we love to travel on our holidays, ICE will be there for a while. Absolutely correct when you say we will be the last men standing on the ICE engines. It is important for manufactures to concentrate on the demand of this country and not impose Global Strategies to India.
There are two types of ice engines
Vw group and others
They are just way ahead of the competition.
I would love to see you folks do a podcast on bikes. The majority of the vehicles on Indian streets is bikes.
@autocarindia1- Next discussion on biofuels especially Hydrogen blend with CNG as part of Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to cut imported natural gas cost. More technical with easy understood discussion on Flex fuel future in next 5 years to support ICE engine ecosystem.
ICE engines still rules & here to stay
I want to buy a petrol suv..
Honda elevate or scorpio n or Hyundai alcazar?
Look at ev infrastructure in India, forget 2030, even 2040 is not at all practical,
And why EV, practically hybrid will be the best option..
"Cars without engine are not cars" most of the enthusiasts across the world strongly share this sentiment..
You've forgotten the great Ford's 1.5(D) on Aspire,Figo...
One Hundred HP & 26-28Kmpl if you drive below 110KMPH..190KMPH and still there's some stamina..woww!!!
Confused btw Kia Sonet diesel auto and Xuv 3xo auto? Which one to buy??
I think all these companies shd consult hormazd before making stupid decisions,he knows what really works in India and what doesn't
