This turned out so much like a casual conversation over tea, where you start discussing the "disheartening road quality in your area" and move to different tangent like lack of foresight, cheaping out on materials, corruption etc, and in the end circle back to the mutual concern of "disheartening road quality in your area".

[@motorinc]

Hey DM, let us know if there’s something we missed out on. Would be happy to discuss here. Thanks!

[@-Deepak-M]

@@motorinc content wise, it was great. The time was filled well despite there not being too much to discuss. Touching on the subtle differences between the brands and their current lineup, the perception of the customer and the reality of the situation. Just that there was not a whole lot about the car itself - which is a good thing in this case than repeating the whole fronx set. But since the conversation was more on tangents than the car, it was that less exciting and engaging. Maybe consider shortening the length in such cases?

24:13 “the chime also makes a difference” - 100% , I can attest to that. My car’s passanger seatbelt warning chime is so loud and annoying that people immediately buckle up as soon as they get in. Now I don’t have to repeatedly ask people to wear seatbelt. 30:30 thank you so much for bringing it up! People don’t realise how important ESP & Traction control are to cars. It can literally save you in an unfortunate incident. Mahindra for all its safety advertisement wasn’t even offering Traction control in their XUV 700 unless you buy AX5 D and above. Now they have that option available from base variant. In a country like India , we need to understand how important ESP is

[@motorinc]

Thanks for sharing your perspective @alokpandey4924!

A personal request, but can please have Kartikeya talk about the Ignis? We talk a lot about small cars for the city but hardly about the Ignis, it’s only mentioned in passing here and there. I understand that asking Kartikeya to talk about a car that essentially has remained unchanged since 2017 is a lot of work for barely any return. Instead, can we have a ThisConnect episode on what you guys consider are good cars for the city?

It’s so nice to see the Taisor/Fronx getting a perspective from the Baleno/Glanza. I have a request to the team to cover the i20 and its higher powered N-Line cousin. The car has been the mainstay of the big hatchbacks in India for over a decade and seen multiple facelifts over 3 generations. It used to compete with the Figo, Polo and Punto. And now it competes with newer offerings like the Altroz and Baleno. It’s evolved over time and still managed to remain a default for many looking to buy a car in that segment. Now that it has a 118bhp sporty cousin with an power plant not available in the standard variants, the i20 N-line more than ever has greater differentiation from the family-friendly machine we all know and love, when compared to the Venue and Create N Line.

[@nachikets3x]

I got a top spec Taisor 1.0 V AT for my mom delivered on the 27th of July, it has run roughly 1,700kms since then. The subtle styling especially in the bluish silver colour I picked really appealed to me and this might be a very small detail but the brake light and how it's encased in a clear lens really won me over. I love looking at it, along with the classier petal design alloys as points of differentiation over the aggressively styled Fronx. The part that hurt me the most was the on road price which comes out to just under 16l including insurance, extended warranty and all. I got a 51k discount after multiple rounds of back and forth with the inept dealer in my town. At that price point we only chose this car cause we were upgrading from a Tiago AMT, needed a small footprint and wanted a TC or DCT only and the Altroz Ricer didn't come with an AT option. For anybody else considering this as their primary car should definitely look at cars like the Elevate or the City once.

[@sierrachief117]

Altroz Ricer. Not a good car for mom though with all the ricer pretensions.

[@motorinc]

Heya Nachiket! Super helpful! And congratulations on the Taisor! Wish you and the family awesome travels!

[@nachikets3x]

@@sierrachief117 I know but I was willing to look past those for the overall package it offered, I drove the NA DCA and although it didn’t feel like a conventional DSG, it was amply smooth and rode well on the highway. What killed it for me was that same lame 1.2 Revotron that I’d been using in my Tiago for the past 6 years. I drove the Ricer MT and even that didn’t feel particularly rev-happy and the gearbox+clutch combo was so bad especially for city driving. The i20 N Line with the DCT was much better to drive although the suspension felt too stiff for someone like my mom otherwise it was available for cheaper with more features than the Taisor.

Taisor will come a full circle for toyota-suzuki hybrid partnership once suzuki launches the series hybrid. I wish suzuki to give atleast a 3kWh battery and an option to plug in charge that battery pack. Also provide a roof solar panel to provide energy for passive cooling when parked in sunlight (cycle the air inside the car). 😂 I am writing these because series hybrid with plugin in option and solar roof has been in my mind since 2014 Also, I vote for google maps to have an option for Karthikeya's and Shumi's voice

[@motorinc]

We’re doubting the seriousness of your recommendations because of the last one. 😁

[@ajaysrinivasr1989]

Love your Podcasts as usual and big fan of Shumi sir and Kartikeya sir. I would like to add something out of my own experience of owning an Urban cruiser (no suffix 😂). Bought only because I got a better price during the phasing out stage of the car. Toyota service experience is probably better for actual Toyota cars. I’ve been behind the service centre (Lanson Toyota) for fixing a screeching sound from the ISG, when the idle settles in a cold start or when the car auto starts with the auto start stop function. I seriously doubt if they have the ability to fix it versus a Maruti Service centre. So, the point I am trying to make is, buy a Maruti car when the mechanicals are Maruti’s (GV mild hybrid for example) and a Toyota car (Hycross and Hyryder full hybrid for example). Not sure if their service training is the same for both the counterparts.

[@motorinc]

Hullo AS! Thank you so much for letting us know. That is shocking. Wouldn’t have expected this from Toyota.

[@shantanu_d]

I think when Toyota asked their designers to not touch those drab interiors, they took it out on the wheels. Reminded me of how Kawasaki did the saree guard on the Ninja 1000. Questions on AMTs : - Do they roll back on an incline? - If they have a hill hold is it automatic or has to be manually engaged like the handbrake? - If they do it automatically then does it still roll back 1-2 feet before moving forward? Asking this because I had come across someone who encountered this roll back in a Glanza test drive and I assume the same for all AMTs.

[@motorinc]

[@ishaanbhat4512]

I own a Spresso (the maruti one). Whenever i give it to service to the dealer....the parts whichever r replaced, whther it be the air filter or the indicator stalk assembly. They will keep the old part in ur trunk whenever they deliver the car back to u. The disposal of those parts is a hassle, but the satisfaction u get tht the new part has been replaced and it's not just the old part cleaned up and put back is a nice feeling. Also the service experience is flawless...🫡

[@vic110291]

[@nayanbhalotia]

We bought the Glanza in AMT a few months ago. I had test-driven the manual version as well, but we chose the AMT because my brother thought it would be more convenient. However, it's been quite frustrating for daily use. I strongly recommend going for the manual instead. The 1.2L K-series engine is smooth and refined, but the AMT really diminishes the experience. The rubberband effect gets exhausting in everyday driving, and the fuel efficiency suffers too. We're barely getting 12 kmpl in the city.

@@gramisanvaz4122 please take an extensive test drive, simulating various situations. While the gearbox is fine for bumper to bumper traffic, and probably even for open highways, as it doesn’t have to shift gears much. But it can get cumbersome and annoying in tier 2 city driving conditions, where you can’t really drive freely, but also the traffic is moderate. I personally don’t feel very confident in quick overtakes as well, because the gearbox is unpredictable and I’m scared the gears would shift suddenly while overtaking.

[@divyammalviya6084]

Why MS don’t provide Cruise Control in mid variants ?😐 like Hyundai !

[@motorinc]

Great suggestion.

[@ankushsharma6498]

does it make sense to have an extended warranty , In case of a Citroen C3 2022

[@motorinc]

It's always a good idea @ankushsharma6498, regardless of the model.

[@zaidpatel7312]

Please help me decide which car I should buy as my first car. I am learning to drive and currently very confused between old i20 and grand i10. i20 looks tempting, I have budget of around 4 Lakhs if there is any other car you would suggest. I am 6 feet tall and will mostly use it in city and occasional highway rides.

[@sierrachief117]

No reason to buy i10 over i20 if buying pre-owned. The petrol engine is the 1.2l unit. In the case of diesel, you get a 1.4l 4 cylinder opposed to a 1.2l 3 cylinder.

[@motorinc]

Hey ZP, check out a Baleno or a Swift in the used market too. We would prefer their 1.2 engines for the ease of use and efficiency. Let us know if you have any more queries. 👍🏽

[@prathamsannake4343]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on re scram 411. Despite many flaws like handling (on high speed), suspension, people from US and UK seems to love it. Day 1 of asking a review on scram 411

[@motorinc]

Uh oh…

[@neo4646]

@ 24:16, it would be great if you could also add a chime sound clip, similar to how you include images and details. It's not a must, but it would be a nice touch."

[@motorinc]

Thanks for the suggestion @neo4646

[@shoubithongekar1333]

My family own’s a 3 year old Glanza. We have noticed Glanza is serviced much better by Toyota compared to a baleno! At a lower cost. E.g. Brakes in baleno are squeaky on hard braking, suspension noise after hitting a speed braker at high speed. Not the case with Glanza!

[@motorinc]

Thanks for sharing @shoubithongekar1333

[@velavanvijayakumar9759]

OMG ….. the conversation is ironic between M and T. It’s Epic. And it’s like a standup comedy (sit down).

[@motorinc]

Glad we could entertain! 🙃

[@ntsikha]

The Fortuner, though not the greatest of vehicles around, has a certain Charm to it, according to me. Which makes it a priced possession for some people and bullying weapon for some other people. Sure the Innova rides so much better, but doesn't have as much charm as the Fortuner. We'll have to wait and see how the Suzuki Fortuner hold up, if it is coming through.

[@motorinc]

😄 Let’s see!

[@Newbutold]

Suzuki Fortuner is not happening like the Toyota Jimny didn’t happen

Hi, I am entirely new to the Car segment and i am planning to buy my first car and i am confused with the 1L engine 1.2L engine turbo engine so someone explain me what karthick is suggesting for fronx and taisor depending up on the engine type i am looking to buy a Mannual car and i watched this video entirely still confused 😂😂 after hearing some variant in fronx is not available in taisor and i see hybrid engines in fronx not in taisor?? Someone explain?

[@uthkarshnaik6608]

Does the 1.2 variant come with that blazing orange colour shown? For me that'll be the only reason choose taisor or fronx.

[@motorinc]

We don’t have that info handy. If you check, will you let us know?

[@VishnuVck]

MINE NEXT CAR MAY BE GLANZA JUST BECAUSE you guys convinced me a lot with that safety thing and practicality... And why toyota badge you have the answer in this video itself looks and service experience . For me we already have Maruti Suzuki so i want to switch to other options to experience the after sales and service ❤

[@motorinc]

All the best VV! Congratulations in advance!

[@VishnuVck]

@@motorinc Thank you so much ❤️

[@chevvakulasrikanth9260]

You guys have missed that, it's not the Toyota Taisor.. it's the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor.. 😅

[@SahilSharma-bt5vs]

The only thing Maruti Suzuki does not offer is the snob value. Everything else is just spot on -the engine performance, fuel economy, reliability, and service network. The build quality of some MS cars is questionable, but you get your money’s worth.

[@Newbutold]

I do not agree on performance in anything above Baleno

[@SahilSharma-bt5vs]

@@Newbutold yeah. Their 1.5 is not as good as the 1.2

[@kirankumarmrjain]

Honda city or Elevate please suggest

[@biowalebhaiyya]

Elevate

[@motorinc]

Could you share more about what you need? Also - before you decide definitely drive the Creta and Verna CVT. Reiect them. But, drive them.

Why arent your recent videos from motor inc and this connect isnt getting uploaded on either apple podcast or amazon music?

[@motorinc]

We don’t have the bandwidth to manage so many platforms. RSS feeds will probably not be updated either. We are working on an alternative solution though - please do stay tuned.

[@sivaviki400]

Hi Karthik, Can you please make a video on why Tata punch is first selling car for past six months, Whether it will be ok for first time buyer for AMT transmission.

[@motorinc]

Hey SV! We have done a video on the Punch. Do check out the channel. Let us know if you have any queries.

[@abhorrance]

Fantastic timing on the episode. Really helped clear some doubts about the two brands. I’m also interested in the whole sedan question. Why do we go from hatchbacks to SUVs directly. Other than the perception and height difference. Are sedans really that much overlooked?

[@motorinc]

Hey A! Glad to know it was helpful. The answer to your question is on our roads and in the sales charts. 😁

[@visharadbhardwaj4717]

Hey Karthik! Just wanted to ask is there any build differences in the metal sheets of Fronx and the Taisor? I went to a Toyota showroom in Noida and asked them the difference in both cars. He basically said the looks are different, minor feature differences and they are using more material in the chassis and the body parts (like the doors, bonut etc.). How true is this? Is there any way we (or you) can corroborate this?

[@Nippontradamus]

Like they said. It is the same car Any difference in build is simply perception. The dealer cannot realistically accept that it is a rebadge

[@motorinc]

We can cut the sheet metal and measure the thickness. 😁 Or give it a firm push with your palm to see the deflection. Destructive vs non-destructive testing. But, simply, they are the same.

[@lougerone]

Been waiting for this!

[@motorinc]

Thanks for the patience. Hope it helped.

[@b.kundu16]

Good to finally have addressed the rebadging scenario between Maruti and Toyota. I would reach out to Toyota because of the built quality we came to know Toyota for from Corolla and Camry. They can go 100,000+ km without even breaking a sweat. We (atleast the people who are looking at cars from 1994 onwards) cant say that for Maruti (yes, there are S80 still driven by people and they can be kept well), and it is a fact on a global scale, that Toyota are indestructible. So, out of these 6 products from Toyota, Innova is suppose to be a Toyota product. As per discussion are we saying Innova now does not stack up to Toyota build standard?

[@motorinc]

There’s no real issue with the Hycross. But, the interior quality is a step down. And we have heard of a few rattles and electrical issues. Let’s wait and see.

[@dexxtreme9346]

hello MotorInc, when are you going to review the new Jupiter 2024. Thank you for the awesome content.

Thanks D! 🙏🏾 It’s in the works. Please stay tuned.

But the turbo petrol has a nice boomy sound, and 2 sec faster due to that chunk of torque over 1.2
