Honda Siel Cars India – HSCI, the completely owned unit of Japanese manufacturer Honda Motors in India, will be soon launching their mid-sized car for India. The big news is that this car will be powered by a diesel engine!
Honda has specially manufactured a new diesel engine, probably a 1.5L which will be installed in the mid-sized car in question here. Honda might add the same engine to one of their currently available cars, as diesel powered cars is the need of the hour.
Mr Inaba, HSCI, said “Introduction of diesel model is not the only option to grow in India. We are planning to expand our network into smaller cities as well.” As we know that the increase of petrol price has affected Indians badly.
