NEW Chevrolet Tavera Elite
Price Rs 7.15 lakh
On Sale Now

FACING COMPETITION from the more modern Innova, GM has launched a new Tavera variant called the Elite, a suffix used earlier on the Corsa. It features seats and carpeting in beige but the seats are still in fabric, even in the top-end SS version. Features such as keyless entry, car alarm and a new Alpine MP3, CD-player have now been added to the top-end SS variant along with a new colour ‘rainforest’.
The Tavera Elite will continue to be offered with the same 2.5-litre direct injection turbo-diesel that generates 80bhp and 19kgm. The ex-showroom prices range from Rs 7.15 lakh for the LS BS II variant to Rs 10.05 lakh for the SS BS III variant.

New Octavia Combi
Price Rs 13.85-14.45 lakh
On Sale Now

SKODA HAS LAUNCHED the estate version of its Octavia called the Combi, opening up a new premium estate segment.
The Combi retains the familiar front end of the Octavia, with the real difference starting from the C-pillar onward. The squared roofline, thick D-pillars and minimal tail-lamps give it an elegant charm. Inside the rear loading area is wide and flat, with boot space not much different from the Octavia. However folding the rear seats allows an impressive 1512 litres of space — enough for two adults to sleep in and 200 litres more than the Octavia.
The car comes in two versions, the L&K with a 1.9-litre diesel unit, which develops 90bhp and the 150bhp turbo-petrol RS. Skoda has not launched the Combi in the cheaper Rider version yet, but may do so if it sees demand for the same.
The Combi will be available at a price of Rs 13,85,340 (RS Combi) and Rs 14,45,886 (L&K Combi) both prices being ex-showroom New Delhi, roughly Rs 40,000 more than the notchback version.
