Cars have always been fascinating for automotive enthusiasts all across the globe. Talking about the modern days, cars have become a thing necessity in today’s world. Some cars might stay for a while and then fade away as time passes. But some are meant to remain for a long time, either on the roads or in the hearts of people. Whatever be the way, let us take a look at 15 such modern-day cars that are worthy of becoming a classic sooner. Let’s get started!
2020 Kia Telluride
The Kia Telluride is a comfortable, luxury 3-row SUV that blends the comfort and protection features that families require the convenience and accessibility that the whole community needs. Yet, as KBB describes, this huge new Kia SUV was pleasant all-day, with a supremely silent journey that gracefully ate up the miles.
2020 Chevrolet Corvette
The all-new Chevrolet Corvette is sure to turn heads-not only because of the impressive appearance of the vehicle. For a mid-engine configuration for the first time, this supercar rival is driven in less than three seconds by a 490-horsepower V-8 engine which propels the ‘Vette from 0 to 60. What’s most remarkable, however, could be the starting price of sub-$60,000.
Tadge Juechter, the chief engineer of the Corvette, says the old, seventh-generation model had exceeded the limits of physics of the front motor. The latest configuration helps the Stingray to bring almost preposterous strength to the pavement while losing the comfort and daily drivability requested by customers through rebalancing weight rearward.
I got my first glimpse of such modern physics near Tortilla Flat, Ariz, an old stagecoach place. Although getting scarcely more torque than the base model of last year—369 kilowatts (495 horsepower) from the 6.2-liter V8 rumbling just behind my right shoulder — the Corvette scorches almost a full second quicker to 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour), at a 2.9-second supercar-baiting.
This Stingray will level out at about 190 mph. Yet talk of more efficient models are in the pipeline, maybe also an electric or hybrid ‘Vette with at least 522 kW (700 hp). When the motor shut down, driver and rider sit practically on the front axle, 42 centimeters (16.5 inches) closer to the action, bundled in a fighter jet-inspired cockpit with a better vision of a significantly lowered roof.
Thanks to a new eight-speed, dual-clutch automatic gearbox, magnetorheological shocks, and a limited-slip rear differential all constantly adjustable my Corvette tamed every outlaw slope, bumped, and dipped in its Old West direction. It’s so compact and structured that to reach its efficiency boundaries, you would require a racetrack. It’s all enjoyable on public roads so it’s hardly cracking a sweat, you can say.
2020 Jeep Gladiator
KBB’s Expert Analysis sums up beautifully what we think about Jeep ‘s latest truck: “The Gladiator sounds remarkably untruck-like on the track, providing a strong daily driving experience. The Gladiator has dual-purpose credentials; it is a nice off-road vehicle and can do a ton of heavy lifting work-truck. Performance between the two worlds? It could only be.
Mahindra XUV300
The company’s ‘Live Young, Live Safe’ tagline comes with any Mahindra SUV you can see on the lane. The Mahindra SUV XUV300 is the newest to take on the Mahindra SUVs mantle. Currently called the ‘Fortress on wheels,’ Mahindra XUV300 is India ‘s safest vehicle. In the Global NCAP accident check, it was scored 5 points. This also provides a range of first in class apps and a versatile engine that’s unmatched by all of the segment’s offerings. The sleek aesthetics, absolute protection, and the beast-like efficiency will definitely allow the XUV300 to quickly become a celebrity.
Hyundai Palisade
Hyundai’s HYMTF, 3-row mid-size SUV is elegant and spacious, with features such as a one-touch second-row sliding second and a power-operated third-row rendering the interior of the Palisade especially flexible. Furthermore, this SUV is imbued with the Hyundai palisade’s powerful sense of value; it arrives with an assortment of luxury and sophisticated protection technology.
Tata Harrier
The BS6 compliant Tata Harrier has been released by Tata Motors with prices beginning from Rs 13.69 lakh ( ex-showroom). To follow BS6 emission requirements, the Harrier BS6 utilizes the same 2.0-liter diesel engine with updates. It is even more powerful than its counterpart to the BS4. In addition, Tata Motors has introduced the Harrier BS6 with an optional 6-speed transmission. For further appeal, the Harrier BS6 comes with a range of fresh functionality and improvements.
Volkswagen Polo GT TSI
Polo also comes in 5 versions. The versions of the Petrol Manual are Trendline 1.0L MPI, Comfortline Plus 1.0L MPI, and Highline Plus 1.0L TSI. Polo 1.0 GT TSI and are available in 4 colors: Carbon Blue, Sunrise Red, Flash Red, and Candy White. Many of these shades are also used in different models.
Kia Seltos
The five-seat Seltos SUV is the first vehicle for India by Kia and has the challenge of setting up the Korean carmaker in our country. He has the best materials for the work. The Kia Seltos is sleek, expensive and offers a large variety of engine and gearbox choices.1.5-liter petrol, 1.4-liter turbo-petrol, and 1.5-liter diesel engines are on sale, along with manual and automatic gearbox variants available. Impressively, from the outset, all models of the Seltos follow BS6 quality requirements.
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
Maruti Suzuki has discontinued the Ertiga diesel models in India just ahead of the BS6 deadline of March 31. A while earlier the carmaker had revised the MPV’s petrol engine to follow BS6 pollution requirements. The Maruti Suzuki Ertiga is fitted with a single petrol engine compatible with BS6. The 1.5-liter engine provides 105PS of power and 138Nm of torque. It is equipped with a mild-hybrid 12 volt Smart Hybrid network. There are two options for transmission — a 5-speed manual, and a 4-speed automatic.
The Ertiga is virtually similar to the BS4 variant and is bigger than its counterpart and thicker. This also has the taillamps with 15-inch alloy wheels and LED components. Interior apps include an Android Auto and Apple CarPlay Smartplay Studio infotainment interface, a multi-information TFT color touchscreen, steering-mounted voice controls, and adjustable climate control.
Nissan Kicks
The BS6-compliant 2020 Nissan Kicks is released by Nissan India at prices beginning from Rs 9.50 lakh ( ex-showroom) and four models- XL, Lv, Lv Premium, and XV Premium (O). Two BS6-compliant fuel models are available: 1.5-liter natural-aspirated petrol and a new 1.3-liter turbo-petrol model.
Ironically, the naturally aspirated petrol versions of the BS6 Kick are now more competitive than before from Rs 5,000 to Rs 95,000. On the other side, in the identical XV model, the turbo-petrol kicks which replace the diesel version cost Rs 66,000 less. The latest 1.3-liter turbo-petrol engine puts out 156PS and 254Nm to make it the Kicks’ lineup’s most efficient engine choice. Methods for transmission include a 5-speed manual and a CVT gearbox.
Nissan’s compact SUV is equipped with two engines to chose from-a a 1.5-liter diesel and a 1.3-liter turbo-petrol. The naturally-aspirated petrol engine produces 106PS/142Nm and comes equipped with a 5-speed gearbox. The 1.3-liter turbo-petrol milling motor, on the other side, puts out 156PS and 254Nm to make it the most powerful motor choice in the Kicks range.
Throughout the 2020 swings, notable technologies include smart vehicle systems, a touchscreen infotainment interface with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, climate control, remote engine start-stop, cornering fog lamps as well as auto headlamps and wipers. Four airbags, ABS with EBD, 360-degree system, automatic stability control and hill rise assist are safety equipment on sale.
Tata Nexon
India’s first vehicle to achieve a 5-star ranking on the Global NCAP, Tata Nexon is actually one of the most sought after mid-range compact SUVs. Tata Nexon is certainly worthy of creating a religion of its own, much like its predecessor, Tata Sierra, with a sturdy body framework, strong engines under the hood, and a respected stylistic statement. Tata Nexon was generally recognized as one of India’s very few best vehicles. Nexon is the Tata ‘s flag-bearer ‘s mission to keep the Indian roads secure.
Maruti Suzuki Ignis
Maruti Suzuki has made a function update to the Ignis Zeta model, with prices beginning at Rs 5.97 lakh ( ex-showroom). What’s fresh with the Zeta model is a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment device from Smartplay Studio which was unique to the top-spec Alpha version. This upgrade has contributed to an Rs 8,000 price increase for both manual and automatic versions of Zeta.
The Ignis is powered by a single 1.2-liter VVT petrol engine that delivers the power of 83PS and torque of 113Nm. This is fitted with a 5-speed manual and an optional AMT gearbox. The Maruti Suzuki Ignis is up against Ford Figo’s likes, Maruti Suzuki Swift and the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios.
The external improvements are modest and involve modern silver accented front and rear bumpers and a redesigned grille. Apart from a new 7-inch SmartPlay Studio infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, the cabin remains fairly unchanged, with an urban cloth alternative.
Hyundai Venue
It was the first Hyundai car to have the 1.0-liter turbo petrol engine that lately has been all the rage. Launched last year, all due to its peppy motor, Hyundai Venue has seen rising demand. The Venue, you must call it, has it all. The venue is a beautiful combination of elegance and performance. In the immediate future, Hyundai Venue is deserving to become a leader of cults.
Dc Avanti
