Engine specifications of the all-new Suzuki SX4 S-Cross have been revealed ahead of the car’s late-2013 launch. Unveiled earlier this year at the Geneva motor show, the larger, second-generation Suzuki SX4 S-Cross will launch in Europe with the choice of two 1.6-litre four-cylinder engines. The entry-level naturally aspirated petrol motor produces 88kW of power at 6000rpm and 156Nm of torque at 4400rpm. The engine can be paired with a five-speed manual or an automatic continuously variable transmission (CVT), laid out in either front- or four-wheel-drive. Average CO2 emissions range from 125-136 grams per kilometre, translating to combined cycle fuel consumption of 5.3-5.7 litres per 100km. The turbocharged diesel engine produces an identical 88kW at 4000rpm to the petrol but more than twice as much torque, peaking at 320Nm from 1750rpm. A six-speed manual is the only transmission offered with the diesel. Front- and four-wheel-drive options are also available, with emissions averaging 110-115g/km and fuel consumption measuring 4.1-4.3L/100km. The petrol engine is confirmed for our market, and Suzuki Australia communications manager Andrew Ellis told CarAdvice that the diesel unit is also being considered but has not been locked in at this stage. Both front- and four-wheel-drive options will continue to be offered in Australia. While the outgoing first-generation Suzuki SX4 was a chunky, tallboy hatch, the second-generation SX4 S-Cross takes on more conventional compact crossover proportions. At 4300mm long, 1765mm wide and 1575mm tall, the new Suzuki SX4 S-Cross is 150mm longer, 10mm wider and 30mm lower than the original. Its wheelbase has grown 101mm to 2601mm, contributing to a more spacious interior and a larger boot, up from 253 litres to 430L. Ellis is hopeful the Hungarian-built Suzuki SX4 S-Cross will arrive in Australia around November/December, but said factors outside the local division’s control may see it pushed out to early 2014. Despite being six years old and within months of being superseded, SX4 sales have increased eight per cent so far this year with 900 units delivered across the country from January to May. The Suzuki SX4 S-Cross will join Australia’s burgeoning sub-compact SUV segment, taking on the incoming Holden Trax, Peugeot 2008, Ford EcoSport, Opel Mokka and Renault Captur, among others.

The updated Tata Nano has been unveiled in India, with the world’s cheapest car set to offer a new compressed natural gas engine. Unveiled at the Horizonext event in Pune, the lightly revised Tata Nano scores a new chrome strip detail at the front and back, wider air intakes and three new exterior colours. Along with the introduction of remote keyless entry, twin gloveboxes, and a four-speaker audio system with USB/AUX and Bluetooth connectivity, the now “even more exciting” Tata Nano is also available fitted with one of four “stylish” Nano Personalisation Kits – dubbed Jet, Alpha, Remix, and Peach – enabling owners to uniquely customise their Nano. Available in dealerships from next month, the updated rear-wheel-drive Nano keeps its 28kW/51Nm 624cc petrol engine, which will later be joined by a 24kW/45Nm 624cc compressed natural gas variant called the Nano eMax. At the same event, Tata also revealed a new Tata Indigo eCS, Tata Sumo Gold, Tata Indica and an Explorer Edition of the Tata Safari Storme SUV. Pricing for the new Tata Nano starts at Rs 1.50 lakh ($2721). Reports late last year suggested the Nano would make its way into the US market by 2015.

Thursday morning will see the Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 team principal Ross Brawn face a 12-man FIA tribunal amid a tire-testing controversy that the team and F1 tire supplier Pirelli got tangled in.There are some who speculate that the team could be thrown out of F1′s 2013 championship race, and that is really an unwelcome development as Mercedes has only started heating up and is currently making a push for the top.Most pundits see it as unlikely for the Mercedes F1 team to get banned from the championship altogether this year, as the repercussions to the sport itself could be more than just a team getting a stiff punishment.Mercedes has hinted at quitting F1 for good in case the penalty proves too harsh, and that doesn’t bode well for a sport struggling to keep its finances in check. If one of the major teams opts out, there won’t really be anyone to take its place.Of course, Mercedes is still going to supply other teams with engines regardless of the outcome. The company has recently entered into an agreement with Williams F1 for a long-term supply deal.In any case, most experts and observers expect only a lesser penalty. This could range from a fine, or a deduction of championship points, or even a one-race suspension.The post [F1] Mercedes, Pirelli Gear Up for FIA Tribunal appeared first on BenzInsider.com - A Mercedes-Benz Fan Blog.

The MT350 was manufactured by Harley-Davidson and was a development of its predecessor the Armstrong MT500 with a smaller capacity engine, electric start and disc brakes. Using a Rotax engine, these motorcycles were used by the armed forces and as such are heavy, sturdy well built machines. The MT350 offered for sale here was previously owned by the Ministry of Defence and is therefore subject to VAT. The purchaser will receive the military history, the necessary paperwork to get it registered and will be the first recorded keeper. Presented in excellent condition, this Harley Davidson has just been serviced and has had a new battery fitted, together with a cambelt and tensioner bearings and comes complete with a toolkit, panniers and weapons holder.

Jaguar's upcoming F-Type Coupe has been spied testing at the famed Nurburgring this week, confirming the authenticity of recent patent application images. As expected - and as with the current Roadster model - the Coupe will come to market with few styling changes, maintaining much of the original C-X16 concept's look. It is also likely that the Coupe will swap the concept's opening window hatch for a larger and more practical tailgate opening, with a retracta...
