Honda Brio is powered by the same engine that is used in Jazz yes the 1.2 litre i-VTEC petrol engine is the driving motor. The power rating is slightly lower placed at lower rpm. The brio engine gives maximum power of 87 BHP @ 6000 RPM and maximum torque of 109Nm @ 4,600 RPM. The only difference between the engine components is the change in the ECU mapping. Gear ratios have been changed for the improvised low end power transmission. The engine has the similar variable valve timing. The Brio placed at low RPM is easy to do with within the city and smaller size makes it easier to cruise in the city. The Brio easily revs up and accelerates to a 100 Kmph easily. The Brio’s performance is mind-blowing swift and sound. The ECO mode indicates the efficient performance of the car when the driving conditions are apt. The Brio provides lower fuel consumption and a smooth ride on the roads.
Maruti Zen Estilo is powered by a K10B 1.0 ltr engine which gives a maximum power of 68PS @ 6200 RPM and a maximum torque of 90 Nm @ 3500 RPM. The K10B is a 3 cylinder petrol engine that gives quite a good performance compared to the Indica ev2. It has the perfect blend of the efficiency and the smoothness that is imparted to the ride. The Maruti has revolutionized the engine era by shifting to the K series. The series comes with an advanced technology of using lot many plastic parts and the efficient material, that impart lower emissions rate and a smooth running of the engine. This also reduces the engine noise and increases the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. The gear shifting and the clutching mechanism are smooth and easy to operate and are not strenuous. The company has made it a mark by using the same technology in here in the form of the K10B engine. Though no advanced system comes with it still it gives the performance that is well expected from the products of the MSIL.
TATA Indica eV2 is powered by a 1.2 ltr Petrol MPFI engine that provides a maximum power of 65.3 PS @ 5000 RPM and a maximum torque of 99.8 PS @ 2700 RPM. The power produced by the Indica is quite similar to other hatchbacks in the market, but still it is not evident during the drive. The engine is quite noisy and the performance of the engine seems to be strained. The engine is a BS4 and results in low emissions and gives a pollutant free exhaust. The response of the Indica Ev2 at the low RPM’s is dull and stressful at the traffic start stop conditions. Also it has additional features like the Auto Drive Assist and Clutch to start. Overall performance of the Indica ev2 engine is deviating from the actual one.
