The Tata Megapixel.

 Tata Motors is in the news once again,the makers of the Worlds Cheapest Car ,the Nano,has unveiled an all new four-seater range extended electric concept vehicle (REEV). 

Dubbed the Megapixel,it is essentially the evolution of the Pixel concept unveiled a while back and uses four in-wheel 10 kW motors and a 325 cc single cylinder petrol range-extending engine that generates 22 kW while charging the lithium ion phosphate battery. The result is a range of 900 km (559 miles) and an electric-only range of 87 km (54 miles).

The Megapixel has several other tricks up it sleeves too, including acutely turning wheels which give it a turning radius of just 2.8 meters (9.2 ft) and an inductive home charging system - park over the induction pad and it charges itself without needing to be plugged in. There's also those very useful automatic double doorsfor that added "COOL" factor.

New Santa Fe Coming.

Make way for the all new Santa Fe!The new car,codenamed DM internally,is said to be galaxies ahead of its predecessor in refinement, design and practicality.

The all-new Santa Fe,like the rest of the new range of Hyundais',is based on Hyundai’s Fluidic Sculpture design language. The Santa Fe evolves this with a new design concept called Storm Edge, which Hyundai says “which captures the strong and dynamic images created by nature during the formation of a storm”.

Hyundai’s SUV carries sharper lines in profile than previous models, and the front has a more aggressive look. The now-trademark hexagonal grille has been incorporated and the images appear to show lower bumper extensions for a more rugged appearance.
