2015 Checklist: Most Anticipated Cars Launching In January

# Toyota Fortuner 2.5 D-4D And 3.0 4X4 AT

The mighty Toyota Fortuner enters 2015 with two new variants. The 7 seat luxury SUV includes a 2.5 liter D-4D turbo diesel engine model and a 3 liter D-4D model with a 5 speed automatic transmission. A 5 speed manual gearbox with a rear wheel drive will be used on the 2.5 D-4D diesel engine variant on the Fortuner.

As far as the power is concerned, the 2.5 liter diesel motor gives out 143 Bhp with 343 Nm of torque, while the 3 litre motor keeps its 171 Bhp and 343 Nm of torque output. The 2.5 litre diesel variant will be the least priced in the SUV line up with an anticipated price tag of 21 lakh. On the other hand, the 3.0 litre D-4D Fortuner will be the highest priced model, with a price tag of 25 lakh rupee.

# Datsun Go+ MPV

The Datsun Go+ will be the second release from the Nissan in the Indian market. It is the wagon version of the Go hatchback which is expected to be priced at 3.49 lakh. The price point will be important considering the fact that the station wagons have not enjoyed that much of success in India. Apparently, the Go+ will be available only with the petrol version, with the same 1.2 liter 3 cylinder engine from the Go. The Go+ will be targeted at car buyers looking for a vehicle that is spacious and accommodates 5 adults comfortably.
