4 eye-catching Hatchbacks to arrive till December

Hatchbacks are cars which are practical and value for money. They are easy to drive and maintain. The small size is its advantage as well as disadvantage. They usually have smaller engines. This means that they offer good fuel efficiency and they have a smaller bonnet which improves driving dynamics. Another biggest advantage of these cars is that they have good resale value as compared to the other segments in the market. Thus buying a Hatchback makes good sense for first-time buyers. Here we have mentioned 4 eye-catching hatchbacks that are scheduled to arrive in the market till December. Some of them are facelifts to the existing models while a few are completely new in the market.

Renault Kwid

The Kwid will receive a facelift this year. This new Renault Kwid will be launching on September 2019. The facelift will get a major change in terms of the grill and front of the car. The new car will be sleeker and have a newer design language. The engine will be the same as before. The bumpers and other cosmetic parts will undergo major change. There will be a change in tech that’s offered on the car. The infotainment system will get an update. The 7-inch touch screen will become an 8-inch touchscreen.

The headlamps will be a split unit and it will also feature daytime running lights. The mechanical changes will be confirmed after the new norms for safety are declared. This car will get its biggest competition from the Maruti S-Presso and will be a car that will be priced very competitively on the lines of Kwid. The engine will not be BS6 for this car now because Renault is planning to bring new BS6 engine close to the deadline.

Tata Tiago

Tata Tiago has been a fan favorite car and will continue to be one. It has been for a long time since this car has been in the Indian market. The car has been receiving updates regularly but the design at some point has remained the same over all these years. Tata has realized that and it is soon going to give this car a much-needed facelift. The car will get the same petrol engine as before but it will be BS6 compliant. The diesel engine is not confirmed yet. There is a high possibility that the car won’t get a diesel engine as this segment is highly dominated by petrol engines.

The design will get cosmetic changes in terms of bumpers and interiors. The car will get minor tech updates. The headlamps and taillamps will be LED along with this it will also get the daytime running lights. The design of the alloy wheels will also change. All this might lead to some price increases and the car will be around Rs 50,000 more than the existing model. It will be launched in the month of November.
