New emission norms not only mean cleaner air but also more efficient engines and in some cases more powerful too like in case of the recently launched Fiat Grande Punto 1.2 BS IV variants which is more fuel efficient with ARAI certified figure of 15.2 kmpl.
There are some all new launches too to coincide with the BS IV emission norms like the all new WagonR which will be out by April 15 and new variants of the Santro and i20. Toyota will soon launch the BS IV version of its best selling MUV Innova which will be slightly more powerful than the current variant. Although the engine remains mostly the same, the new emission norm means the addition of an intercooler to the already turbocharged common rail 2.5 litre engine helping it deliver slightly more power and better fuel efficiency. The addition of intercooler also means better performance when the ambient air is hotter, like in the afternoons in summers.
The new Innova BS IV is expected to cost the same as the current car but you never know. Stay tuned for all the updates!
