***The 2021 Jeep Compass facelift was unveiled today and is very similar to the one at the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show. Look-wise, the updates are not very huge, the features, however, have received a significant update.***

![2021-jeep-compass.webp](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/small_2021_jeep_compass_b40d079540.webp?97100468.63500002)

The 2017 Jeep Compass is finally getting its first mid-life update. Compass is the brand's most affordable SUV in the market and Jeep India focuses on making frequent upgrades on the vehicle. The 2021 Jeep Compass facelift was unveiled today and is very similar to the one at the 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show. Look-wise, the updates are not very huge, the features, however, have received a significant update.

The external updates on the car are very few like a new body colour option along with a few cosmetic changes like the changed seven-slat grille, full-LED headlights, alloy wheels and LED taillights as well. The front, as well as the rear bumpers, have been tweaked and comes with a wider honeycomb mesh air dam up front. The internal updates are much more significant. Compass now gets a new dashboard that comes with a 10.1-inch touchscreen unit. The push start-stop and the switch knobs for the climate control have also been re-positioned. The interior also has soft-touch upholstery, a new steering wheel and an updated instrument panel. Jeep Compass now also has an increased storage space in the central console.

The new 10.1-inch touchscreen unit is so far the biggest update in the car and there is also a new 10-inch inch HD instrument cluster display. Based on FCA's new Uconnect 5 technology, it has an android based operating system. Now there is also voice command assist and over-the-air (OTA) updates along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The new Jeep Compass, just like the older version, will come with seven-airbags, antilock braking system (ABS), electronic brake-force distribution (EBD) and other features including brake assist (BA), hill assist (HA), electronic stability program (ESP), terrain modes, and hill descent control (HDC).

The 2021 Jeep Compass will be powered by the existing BS6 powertrains - Multi-jet diesel and the Multi-air petrol unit. The 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, Multi-Jet diesel engine comes paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT). 1.4-litre, four-cylinder, on the other hand, is a Multi-Air petrol engine that comes mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a nine-speed torque converter automatic unit. The new Jeep Compass continues to give competition to 2020 Tata Harrier, Volkswagen T-Roc, Skoda Karoq, and the MG Hector Facelift.

The 1.0-litre petrol engine will have 6-speed manual gearbox and a 1.5-litre petrol engine will have 7 speed DSG Transmission. The price segment will range for Rs.10-16 lakhs which will be the top contender for the mid-range SUV that is available in the Indian market.

***In the agreement between the EIB and Volkswagen AG made in December 2018, the latter had volunteered to spend a total sum of 10 million Euros on the environmental and sustainability projects as a part of its commitment to sustainability.***

![volkswagen-ag.jpg](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/small_volkswagen_ag_0b965dc24b.jpg?10657691.055000003)

Volkswagen AG is making a donation of 10 million Euros for the European sustainability projects. Volkswagen AG is making this donation under an agreement that it entered into with the European Investment Bank (EIB). The key factor behind this project is the future of sustainable mobility.

The donation is being made under an agreement between Volkswagen AG and the EIB as a result of the commitments made in connection with the diesel crisis. In 2009, the EIB had given the Volkswagen Group a loan that had been repaid in full amount in February 2014. Apart from other things, the loan also had the funds for the production of diesel engines. In the agreement between the EIB and Volkswagen AG made in December 2018, the latter had volunteered to spend a total sum of 10 million Euros on the environmental and sustainability projects as a part of its commitment to sustainability. The projects were given a green light after the consultation with the EIB.

Ralf Pfitzner, the Head of Sustainability at Volkswagen AG, commented on this by saying that the brand is specifically focusing on those projects that take care of the environmental stewardship and promotes a spirit of research and entrepreneurship for the protection of the climate. He further said that the company is aiming for practical results and wants to promote biodiversity, as well as, carbon sinks to protect the natural resources of the planet. He said that they want to make more space for ideas that comes with great potential for helping the industry to move forward towards a carbon-free economy.

***The hyped car back then in 1972 when it was first launched by Renault, the R-5 will make a comeback as “an electric car that everyone can afford,” says De Meo.***

![Renault-5-Prototype.jpeg](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/small_Renault_5_Prototype_d381008ed2.jpeg?10330156.675)

French Automobile company Renault is set to bring back its one of the most popular 1970’s hatchback car in a modernised electric version. The company is keen on moving towards a clean energy shift by drafting its new revival plan, that will be to uplift its market from past disorders. After the arrest of its Ex-Chief Carlos Ghosn, the old-timer Italian industrialist Luca De Meo has been appointed as the new CEO. The new chief has strategized the next five-year plan for the company by focusing more on the profitable segments and has also promised a smooth and well-organised operation.

The hyped car back then in 1972 when it was first launched by Renault, the R-5 will make a comeback as “an electric car that everyone can afford,” says De Meo. The initial R-5 was built as an everyday “supercar”, and is still in demand as the fans are always ready to spend for those vintage turbo versions. It shows its popularity and is still considered the best choice among the vintage car freaks. “It is instantly recognised by millions of drivers – it’s a free publicity,” says Flavien Neuvy of France’s Cetelem Auto Research Group.

Renault is reducing the number of its other prototypes while increasing its vehicle prices by thousands of euros. By 2023, it plans to lift its operating margins by 3 per cent and a further 5 per cent by 2025. As the sales had dropped in the first half of the last year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the company is set to make a major comeback from the loss of 7.3 billion euro. Renault has been producing electric vehicles in Europe from as long as 2010. Around 325,000 electric vehicles have been sold in Europe since 2010, claims the company. It had acquired the idea of electric vehicles very early by launching their small and subcompact cars Zoe and Twingo under former CEO Ghosn who was ruled out of the company in 2019 after his arrest in Tokyo on the financial misconduct charges. 

Moving forward, De Meo’s main focus is on the upcoming bigger cars, and out of the 24 new models planned to be launched in 2025, 10 will be either battery or hydrogen operated. Renault is planning on building ” the biggest electric car factory in Europe”, which would most probably be born in the Northern France region, while it is also partnering with Google on connected vehicles and incorporating artificial intelligence. Dacia and Lada, which are Renault’s successful low-cost brands will soon float their new models. SUV ‘Bigster’ for the former and a new variant of ‘Niva 4X4’ for the latter.

![renault.jpg](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/small_renault_b049199978.jpg?10374814.195)

De Meo is targeting sales of 3.1 million by 2025, very much unlike the former CEO who had planned the sales to be around 5 million across 100 countries. The main focus area of the new chief would be on the high potential countries such as India, Latin America and South Korea. The company is also preparing on its cost-cutting, pretty much focusing on saving 3 billion euros by the year 2025, without cutting down more jobs as around 15,000 employees lost their jobs at the company since last May. The new face of the previously popular model R-5 will also help in the repayment of the 5-billion-euro emergency loan that the company took last year from the French State, which also owns a 15% stake in the company. In sales, After Volkswagen and Toyota, Renault and its Japanese partner Nissan and Mitsubishi are currently the world’s third-largest automaker group. It sold around 10.2 million cars in 2019.

There has been a major shift to electric vehicles, as the authorities around the world are taking strict actions on limiting CO2 emission, thus requiring car companies to bulk up their investments to create more sustainable vehicles. Competition awaits as PSA Peugeot Citroen a homegrown competitor to Renault has already merged with Fiat Chrysler, moving the new group Stellantis to the fourth place.







Renault Focusing on EVs By Bringing Back R-5 Electric Version

***According to industry sources, this shortage of the semiconductor and its impact will hit the production of Ford vehicles for the domestic, as well as, the export market by 50 per cent.***

![ford-shut-down.jpg](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/small_ford_shut_down_9868968860.jpg?679673.5049999843)

[Ford](https://carbike360.com/news/ford-to-close-three-manufacturing-plants-in-brazil) was facing a difficult situation due to the shortened supply of a critical part. Due to this pause in the supply, Ford India’s Maraimalai Nagar factory near Chennai is going to be shut down for a week after Pongal. The plant was initially closed on January 14 for a three-day shutdown for Pongal festival. It has now extended the shutdown up to January 24.

Commenting on this, a Ford India spokesperson said that there was a plan to open the Chennai plant on January 18, Monday after the Pongal break, which now has been extended for a week. The shortage of the semiconductor (chip) has become a serious issue for the company and the team is trying to start the supply again. He further said that the semiconductor shortage will impact the company's operations in India. Due to this, the production will remain impacted across Chennai and Sanand plants through the entire quarter.

![ford.jpg](https://api.carbike360.com/uploads/ford_a7f83b4dd9.jpg?725804.2999999889)

According to industry sources, this shortage of the semiconductor and its impact will hit the production of Ford vehicles for the domestic, as well as, the export market by 50 per cent. The company produced somewhere around 7,000 vehicles in December. The total production of the company during April-December was just under 65,000 units.

Not just in this factory, there is a global shortage of semiconductor chips that has started disrupting automobile factories all around the globe. These chips are an essential part of infotainment systems, as well as, other electrical components in a vehicle. Because of this shortage, Ford has already shut down one of its US plants. Apart from this, Toyota’s Chinese plant, Honda’s UK plant, as well as, Audi and Volkswagen’s factories in Germany are all witnessing shutdowns in their production units due to this supply disruption.

ciaz.jpg

Maruti Suzuki Ciaz has been selling in the Indian market for a long time. The car comes with many good features. Starting with the cabin space, Ciaz is one of the most spacious sedans in its class. The Ciaz measures almost 4.5 metres in length. And it sits on a wheelbase that’s almost 2.7 metres long. With good legroom and a good shoulder room, the boot of the car is 510 litres, which is pretty big too. The Ciaz comes equipped with a decent set of features. These features include multifunctional steering, cruise control, a single zone climate control, auto headlamp, rear AC vents, cup and bottle holders, and a few more. The car also comes with a driver information system. It gives information on the amount of distance travelled, range, fuel efficiency and details about the engine output. Ciaz comes equipped with a touchscreen multimedia system, along with with AUX, USB, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple Carplay and Android Auto. But in terms of looks and appeal, it looks dated and isn’t visually very appealing either.
Ciaz is an easy car to drive. The clutch effort is light, gear shifts are easy and the steering is also light. Maruti Ciaz is powered by a 1.5-litre diesel engine. This engine doesn’t play dead under 1500rpm as the older 1.3-litre did. It is also a fuel-efficient car that returns almost 18.5kmpl in the city. The ride quality on the Ciaz is not that great. It is a little noisy for sure. It also lacks a little it of the comfort factor.
The reason that Ciaz gives a good competition to cars like Honda City and Hyundai Verna is because of its 1.5-litre diesel package. It is spacious and is equipped with decent features as well. The 1.5-litre diesel engine has increased Ciaz’s value in the market, due to the fact that it is significantly cheaper than both City and Verna.
