Ford Leaving India !!



Today in this blog we are going to talk about "Why did Ford leave India? ", Ford is one of the most well-known companies in the world. Despite offering better built, great driving dynamics, and moreover, mind-boggling performance. Ford was unable to attract customers.
Now, we are going to talk about five reasons why "Ford Motors" left India.

1. Bad looks, which didn't attract many



If you look at the Ford Figo and the Aspire, the looks of the car are not that great, if we compare with its competitors Swift, i10 nios, etc. Moreover, Ford takes its own sweet time to launch the facelift of its existing cars. 

2. Service Network



The service network of Ford is not comparable to "MSIL" (Maruti Suzuki India Limited). In addition, there is a lack of service centers in rural India. If we look at Mahindra, the majority of their Scorpios are sold in rural India because of the availability of ample service centers, but that is not the case with Ford. The majority of the service centers are located in the Urban part of India.

3. Prices were High



Ford cars were heavily charged, and the features offered at that price point were very few. Many people were in the search of automatic cars however the Figo which competes against the Maruti Swift and Hyundai i10 nios, Ford fulfilled the need of an automatic gearbox in late July this year.

4. Over $2 bn losses



As per a report, the company has incurred a lot of losses, which are about 2 billion dollars, which has made the company to close down its operation in India. 

5. Manufacturing plants were underutilised


Ford motor India had to shut down its business because, two plants one in Marimalai in Southern India and Sanand in Gujarat are said to be underutilized at the moment. So the company was incurring heavy losses cause of this.

Engine  Now, the Hyundai i20 has a lot of features, talking about the technical part of the car it gets 1.2 -liter kappa petrol and the 1.0ltr turbo petrol engine , if I get a choice to pick one, I would pick the 1.0 ltr petrol. The turbo engine produces 120 ps of power and 170nm of torque. If you want a car mainly for the cities and occasional holiday trips the 1.2 makes more sense than the turbo petrol. Reasons to avoid 1.0ltr turbo petrol Engine 1...

Maruti Suzuki Ertiga - Technology meets style When we talk about a family car, we are always in the search of a 7 or maybe an eight-seater but, what about the budget, mileage, service, and safety. Now to answer all these questions asked by me, I think Maruti has already launched a car, way back in 2012. It's the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga, sold as XL6 by Nexa and they are planning to launch XL7 as well. I think Ertiga is one of the best family seven-seater available in the market. So let's have a look at some of the technical specifications and features of the car. There is only one engine on offer, the 1462cc petrol engine, with two fuel options, petrol, and CNG. However, CNG is only available in the LXI and VXI, manual. Mileage of the car is more than expected by a seven-seater, 17.90kmpl for the petrol and 26.08 km/kg for the CNG variant. 1. Engine and transmission  (ZXI Plus Petrol) Engine type                  - K15 hybrid Displacement...
