Range Rover Evoque XL coming in 2016

Land Rover plans to launch a larger, lightweight Range Rover Evoque XL to slot between the existing car and the Range Rover Sport. According to a report by Autocar, the new model is codenamed L560 and is expected to be launched in 2016.

The report also says L560 will be based on the same aluminium platform as the new family of compact Jaguar models and will be made in the same new facility, currently being built at Solihull.
The report suggests that the Evoque XL could achieve annual sales of up to 80,000 units and is likely to be the most profitable model of the five body styles (four Jaguars and this new Range Rover) being planned on the new aluminium platform. 

L560 is also likely to become Range Rover’s most economical model, thanks to a combination of the lightweight aluminium architecture and the all-new ‘Hotfire’ four-cylinder engines currently being developed by JLR. Indeed, the majority of Evoque XL models are likely to be powered by four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines (further reducing overall weight) in various states of tune.

The addition of this model is likely to round off the Range Rover family for the medium term.

Car News(Cross Roads India Assistance): New Hyundai Grand i10 review

This car is even more impressive on the inside. Beautifully built and loaded with features, the insides of the Hyundai Grand i10 have a crisp and fresh feel to them. The design of the two-tone dash is neat and clean, with no extraneous or over-styled features. The top half is finished in high-quality, non-reflective black plastic. Half the centre console, the instrument panel and half the door pads are finished in this colour. A rich toffee-like beige is used over the rest. Plastic quality is as high, if not higher than that seen in the Verna, and fit and finish are spot on as well. The steering wheel and gear lever, for example, are beautifully detailed, and Hyundai has used faux metallic highlights to good effect.

The airy feel of the cabin and the feeling of spaciousness are enhanced by the big seats, which have a bit of a sporty feel to them. The good news is that even very tall drivers can be comfortable behind the wheel without affecting rear legroom; there is just so much space here. The rear seats have very impressive legroom and good thigh support, but passengers in the back are sat a bit low. And while they do get an air-con vent, the Grand isn't really as wide as a Hyundai i20 or Tata Vista in the back. There's plenty of storage spaces inside the cabin, though, with one-litre bottle holders in each of the doors, two large cup-holders behind the gearlever, and a cubbyhole for storing your phone or tablet near the handbrake.

The carmaker has always been strong on features and options, and this top Asta version of the  Hyundai Grand i10 is no exception. You get a cooled glove box, keyless go and a two-DIN integrated audio system with 1GB of onboard storage for your music. Climate control is missing, however, and you don't get airbags or ABS as standard, even on this top end version; you have to pay extra and opt for them. What makes it even worse is that you can only do that on the Asta trim.

This new hatchback also gets a new power source; an all-new, 1.1-litre, three-cylinder diesel motor (codename: U2) which develops 70bhp. Now diesel engines and three cylinders don't really go well together, as both are inherently prone to vibration, so it's no surprise that the Grand i10 flutters and vibrates softly at idle. This new engine may be essentially Hyundai's 1.4 four-cylinder unit with a cylinder chopped off, but that creamy idle is gone.

Counter-balancing shafts have been used to iron out the inherent imbalance of a three-cylinder configuration, so when you rev the engine it smoothens out a bit. There is a hint of turbo lag, but after 1,500rpm, the motor pulls cleanly and with a good amount of enthusiasm.
