Cars suffixed with the word 바카라sports바카라 are expected to bolt. But in India, sports edition cars are mostly dolts with no extra colts on offer unlike in the rest of the world.
The latest to come out is the Ford Figo Sports Edition, in which nothing of value has changed. It has the regular Figo바카라s 100hp 1.5-litre diesel and the 88hp 1.2-litre petrol engines. For a premium of Rs 40,000 over the regular Figo, you바카라re getting a phony sports edition with no extra horses, engine remap or race dynamics. The company says they have introduced a secondary clutch switch, to transfer power more effectively to the wheels, but on the road, the output is not palpable enough.
All you get is a bit of leather on the wheel, red lining on seat fabric, new grille, smoked-out headlamps, a black roof and a stiffened suspension.
Almost following suit, Volkswagen too came out with its make-believe 바카라sports edition바카라 for the Polo GT TSI and TDI models, both rivals of the Figo. The already sporty Polo didn바카라t carry any mechanical or engine upgrade. What buyers get for an additional cost of Rs 20,000 at the dealer바카라s end are a black spoiler, 16-inch alloy wheels, a GT Sport side foil and fake leather seat covers with 바카라GT Sports바카라 embossed on them. The petrol TSI model costs Rs 8.77 lakh while the diesel TDI costs Rs 8.70 lakh.
So, do sports editions sell? 바카라For an average Indian car buyer, what matters is bling,바카라 says a senior showroom manager of Volkswagen. 바카라Just after buying a car, some customers take it straight to aftermarket shops to get sporty decals, side skirts, rear spoilers and daylight lamps. We are meeting some of these demands with original equipment, which doesn바카라t damage the car or nullify warranty,바카라 he adds.
To celebrate the success of the Toyota Innova Crysta, Toyota Kirloskar Motors rolled out the 바카라Innova-Touring Sport바카라 version. But there was nothing for the buyers to celebrate. Touring Sport was offered at a premium of Rs 75,000 over the standard version. Except for a dash of chrome here, and a splash of colour there, this sports version had no mechanical upgrades whatsoever. 바카라Limited edition바카라 would be the correct nomenclature for these models than 바카라sports edition바카라, which should be reserved for vehicles that feature some mechanical upgrade.
A good example for a sports edition car would be the Maruti Baleno RS, which has a better engine than the standard Baleno바카라17 more horses on tap and an additional 35 Nm of torque. But Maruti too, has been guilty of bringing out the superficially modified rally sport (RS) edition Ciaz in 2015 and the Swift RS.
Thus, whenever a 바카라mass-volume바카라 automobile major launches its latest 바카라sports edition바카라, it would be wise to look up on the upgrades. In fact, going by past experience, even credible luxury car manufacturers like Mercedes Benz should be given a background check.
