Miss The Design Of Old School Rally? This Kit Car Might Be Perfect For You

If you’re a fan of the classic rally cars from the past, then you’ll love this kit car. It allows customers to customize the interior to their liking. For example, in a recently sold version, the seats and dashboard were upholstered in gray leather with matching Alcantara. The seat backs even had a Stratos logo embroidered on them. The car was also equipped with blue, FIA-compliant four-point Sabelt harnesses. The dashboard, instrument binnacle, and transmission tunnel featured gray leather, while the dashboard facia had a black powder-coated finish.

Although it resembles a rally car from the 1970s, the STR can be fitted with a few modern conveniences. These include a heated windshield, a three-speed de-mister and fan, air conditioning, and even a reversing camera. The camera is especially useful because the black slatted louvers on the car almost completely block the rear screen.

LB Specialist Cars describes their car as follows: “Our mission is to produce the STR in such a way that it pays homage to the original Lancia and therefore maintains all of the visual presence and character of the genuine Stratos but is engineered and advanced in a way better suited to this millennium.”

The Display Setting That Will Improve Your Laptop’s Battery Life

If you own a MacBook, there is a display setting that can help improve your laptop’s battery life. This setting allows you to control when the display automatically turns off when running on the battery and when connected to a power source. By adjusting this setting, you can ensure that the display turns off after a specified duration of inactivity, effectively conserving battery power. However, please note that the display will not turn off when you are watching videos, such as streaming on Netflix or YouTube.

To change the screen timeout settings on your MacBook, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Apple menu.
  2. Select System Settings.
  3. Click on Lock Screen in the sidebar.
  4. Choose the dropdown menu next to “Turn display off on battery when inactive”.
  5. Select your preferred duration, such as one minute or two minutes.

Additionally, you can also adjust the screen timeout duration when the display is connected to a power source. Another display setting that can help extend your MacBook’s battery life is the screen saver. Screen savers, despite being visually appealing, consume battery power as they keep the display running when you are inactive. To change this setting, follow the same steps mentioned above and navigate to “Start Screen Saver when inactive”. From there, select “Never” in the dropdown menu.

Tata Altroz Vs Maruti Baleno Vs Toyota Glanza – CNG Mileage Comparison

# Tata Altroz Vs Maruti Baleno Vs Toyota Glanza – CNG Mileage Comparison

## While the Maruti Baleno and Toyota Glanza just get two CNG variants to choose from, the Tata Altroz can be opted in six

![Tata Altroz CNG Vs Maruti Baleno CNG](https://stimg.cardekho.com/images/cms/carnewsimages/editorimages/64d6196e82cea.jpg)

If you’re looking for a CNG option in the premium hatchback space, your choices are the [Tata Altroz](https://www.cardekho.com/tata/altroz), [Maruti Baleno](https://www.cardekho.com/carmodels/Maruti/Maruti_Baleno), and [Toyota Glanza](https://www.cardekho.com/toyota/glanza). All of them are priced similarly and get a similar list of features too. The sportier Hyundai i20 is not available in this space.

While the Altroz CNG made its market debut in May 2023, Tata only recently revealed its claimed fuel economy figures. Let’s see how it compares to the segment leader and its twin.

## Mileage Comparison

![Tata Altroz CNG](https://stimg.cardekho.com/pwa/img/spacer3x2.png)

Specs | Altroz | Baleno/Glanza
— | — | —
Engine | 1.2-litre petrol-CNG | 1.2-litre petrol-CNG
Power | 73.5PS | 77.5PS
Torque | 103Nm | 98.5Nm
Transmission | 5-speed MT | 5-speed MT
Fuel economy | 26.2km/kg | 30.61 km/kg

The claimed efficiency of both the Baleno and Glanza CNG is higher than that of the Altroz by over 4km/kg. While the Altroz delivers more torque on paper, the Baleno is slightly more powerful. All three cars are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.

Adding to the value of the Altroz CNG is the dual-cylinder setup, which liberates generous boot space, of up to 210 litres.

## Feature-packed CNG options

All three of these CNG-powered premium hatchbacks share commonalities such as automatic AC, cruise control, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a rear parking camera. The Baleno/Glanza duo offer the advantage of features such as six airbags, and ESP with hill hold assist. In case of the Altroz, it additionally gets an electric sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, ambient lighting, a digitised instrument cluster and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

## Price Check

![toyota glanza vs hyundai i20 n line vs tata altroz](https://stimg.cardekho.com/pwa/img/spacer3x2.png)

| Price Range | Rs 7.55 lakh to Rs 10.55 lakh | Rs 8.35 lakh to Rs 9.28 lakh | Rs 8.60 lakh to Rs 9.63 lakh |

The Tata Altroz CNG is available in six variants, allowing for a wider choice for different budgets. The CNG option for the Maruti Baleno and Toyota Glanza is only offered in two variants each.

OPERATION #CAMOCATCH FOR THE NEW 3008 HAS CLOSED AND THE RESULTS ARE IN

PEUGEOT gave its followers the opportunity to choose the design of the camouflage that will be used by the new PEUGEOT 3008 during its development tests on the roads of Europe.

 

During May, ten innovative and striking camouflage designs from PEUGEOT were submitted to a public vote on the brand’s social media pages. These designs disguise the shape and body lines of the new PEUGEOT 3008 while building excitement online for the upcoming reveal.

 

There were thousands of contributions from the public on the brand’s social media pages: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.

 

Of the ten options from the PEUGEOT designers, the six that received the most votes were the following:

 

•           Paint from the “Street Art” theme.

•           Menthol from the “Optic Art” theme.

•           Jazzy from the ‘Proto’type’ theme.

•           Neon from the “Street Art” theme.

•           Marrakech for the “Optic Art” theme.

•           Tokyo for the “Proto’type” theme.

 

The six camouflages selected by the public will be produced in June and will be used to cover the new PEUGEOT 3008 which will be tested on European roads between 15th July and 15th August.

 

During this time, we invite all those lucky enough to see one of these camouflaged PEUGEOT 3008s to take a photo of it (in compliance with road safety regulations) and post the image to one of the brand’s social media pages with the words #CamoCatch and @Peugeot.

 

All the entries (one entry per person) that have been submitted on social media will be collated by the brand to determine six winners, who will be invited to be among the first to experience the new PEUGEOT 3008 in 2024.

 

Peugeot has been implementing a strategy of collaborations and partnerships with young designers since the beginning of 2023. This time, the brand has broadened the collaboration to a wider, international audience via social media.
