By CEO of Global Saminda , Shibuya Kuge : " Saminda have not build any engines for F1 yet , although we are one of the largest engine maker , building F1 engines are not easy, but we are interested in it and we might consider about it so meanwhile we can improve our technology , it's not easy for our R&D engineer and we need time.

CR3

YEAR 2012

Saminda CR3 EX FWD and AWD
Image

Saminda CR3 EX-L
Image
The CR3 is a Compact SUV sold under Saminda , If you're cross-shopping compact crossover vehicles for family use, you'll definitely want to put the 2012 Saminda CR3 on the list. The main reason because it has what we think is simply the best rear seat-folding arrangement of any vehicle in this class , and because its seating comfort in general is so impressive. Open one of the back doors, and with one arm and a simple pull of a strap, in a very fluid motion the lower cushion tumbles forward into the footwell, the headrest angles forward, and the rear seatback flips forward, all tucking nearly behind the front seat, to a completely flat position, Cargo capacity is impressive , with the rear seatbacks up, there's an impressive 37 cubic feet. A side cargo net is included, and the EX-L trim get a removable and retractable cargo cover. Fold the back seats down, and you get a continuous cargo floor that’s 61.1 inches long.

Saminda hasn't changed much about the powertrain, the 2.4-liter i-VIC four-cylinder remains one of the smoothest fours in this class, with nice, even power delivery all the way up to redline. The transmission has only five speeds , and gear ratios have been made taller this year for better fuel economy. EPA fuel economy ratings land at 22 mpg city, 30 highway with front-wheel drive, or 20/30 with all-wheel drive . Just as in some of Saminda's other models, there's a big blue 'eco' button on the dash, to engage more frugal parameters for the powertrain and A/C.

C2000R

YEAR 2012


Saminda C2000R
Image
The C2000R is manufactured by Saminda and is only for the Japanese domestic market and it's one of a few rear-wheel drive vehicle in Saminda lineup , It uses the FB22A engine which is a replacement for the FA20C, enthusiast said that the ''FA Series is the best BHP/Liter engine Saminda ever build , the newer FB series didn't do as well as the FA Series because it's cheaper to build'', the newer FB22A is a 2.2-liter and only pumps out 240hp while redline is at 8500rpm, the older FA20C is a 2.0-liter and pump out 245hp while redline is at 9200rpm , aside from the engine , the C2000R is still a great performance car , The R stands, literally, for racing , So proclaimed by Saminda,

Clearly a pretty special chassis was needed to accompany it, Saminda strengthened the C2000R bodyshell in various key structural areas with thicker-grade steel in readiness for the extra forces it would have to endure. it's equipped with double wishbone and multilink suspension for the front and rear, the rear anti-roll bar was swapped for a thicker item, aluminium strut braces were added at both ends of the car.

C4

YEAR 2012


Saminda C4 1.8 and 2.0
Image


Saminda C4 SPORT
Image
The C4 is a Compact car manufactured and marketed under Saminda a carmaker from Japan , it's exclusively only for European market, The Saminda C4 is good looking inside and out, offers good room for passengers and is packed full of kit. It also comes with some efficient petrol engines and is keenly priced. Step into the cabin and everywhere you look on there’s leather and soft-touch silvery-trimmed plastics, and everything is screwed together beautifully. The Ultratouch infotainment on the C4 is good, if not great.

The updated 1.8 and 2.0 liter engine is very smooth and powerful enough but if you want a more powerful version you can always opt the SPORT version which has an impressive 2.4 liter i-VIC making 215hp and mated with a 6 speed manual gearbox. The C4 has always been one of the better-handling Saminda, but Saminda’s UK suspension tuning team has gone to work nevertheless. It says it has shrunk the stabiliser bars to boost road feedback through the steering wheel.

Managing Director of Saminda UK , Philip Essiot , said that the C4 sales this year is the highest they ever archived.

Image
The Saminda CR4, is an MPV or multi-purpose vehicle (known as a minivan in North America) produced by Saminda. One of the major players in the people mover class, Saminda CR4 took a different styling path from its competitors by adopting a much lower, almost station wagon, appearance in contrast to its taller, boxier rivals . One feature which will increase CR4's appeal to many buyers is sliding rear doors. In combination with the car's low-slung floor these make for easy entry and exit with an opening of 1215mm in height and 740mm in width.

The engine is either a 2.7-liter four-cylinder petrol unit with 203BHP and 267Nm of torque, or a 3.5-liter V6 petrol unit with 251BHP and 320Nm of torque , doesn't matter if you choose the four cylinder or V6, both of the engine give you satisfaction performance.

CR2

YEAR 2012


Saminda CR2 1.8 and 2.0
Image
The Saminda CR2 is a compact MPV manufactured by the Japanese automaker Saminda and is based on the C3. Its exterior design is a mix of compact MPV and SUV; and its height (less than 1.6 m) makes it hard to classify it precisely. Handling characteristics are more like a smaller hatchback than any other comparable compact MPV. Although it was partially exported in LHD markets, especially in Europe, Saminda CR2 is more successful in Japan and Singapore. It was never available in North America.

In Singapore, the Saminda CR2 is very successful and is one of the best selling vehicle in it country. It was available in the standard 1.8-liter model and also the higher spec 2.0-liter.

ProAIR and CZ6

The ProAIR Turbo Technology is engineered by Saminda for their turbocharged engines and was unveiled for the first time in front of the world at the Tokyo Motor show in 2012 after revealed about turbo engines not long ago at Detroit Motor Show, it has been one of the buzz words among all the motor enthusiast over the world. The company, and president/CEO Shibuya Kuge, promised both to care for the environment and provide joy of driving.

This technology is the real blue-eyed boy from Saminda and with this, it aims to be better and eventually the best in the automobile engine technology of modern times which it hopes positively, that would replicate in terms of volume sales. With ProAIR Technology, Saminda is looking at being the fuel efficiency leader in every vehicle class within three years. Apart from the target of giving this world a more fuel efficient engine, Saminda also aims to do its bit for the environment, Saminda aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 30% for all products sold worldwide by 2020, relative to emission figures from year 2000.

Talking about the technology for which Saminda has been the talk of the town lately, the famous for, i-VIC. Saminda has enhanced its much vaunted variable valve timing and intake control for better thermal efficiency and reduced friction. This will benefit both far ends – fuel efficiency and higher power.

Saminda also explained the i-VIC ProAIR, the company’s next-generation powertrain technologies which aim to achieve both the fun of driving and excellent fuel economy at a high level.

With the application of variable valve motion technology such as Saminda's i-VIC along with ProAIR with highly-fluidized combustion and a thorough reduction in engine friction, Saminda said this engine achieves class-leading output and environmental performance, while downsizing engine displacement.

The three turbocharged engines come in 1.1 ,1.5 and 2.0-litre capacities and will be available in a wide range of Saminda vehicles in next year 2013

The turbocharged 1.1-litre four-cylinder engine was designed to have higher power, torque and efficiency capabilities than a non-turbo 1.8-litre engine.

Using a i-VIC variable valve train system with direct injection ProAIR turbocharged, the 1.1-litre engine pumps out a healthy maximum 125BHP and 200Nm of torque. The four-cylinder unit is likely to find applications across the Japanese car maker’s range of compact passenger cars, including the Saminda C1, C2 and C3.

The 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine will find its way under the bonnets of slightly larger Saminda vehicles, given it develops 200BHP of power and 260Nm of torque.

But the most interesting engine in is the 2.0 liter designed for the next-gen Type-R. Saminda claims that despite displacing just 2.0 liters, the motor will deliver in excess of 280 horsepower.

Saminda also revealed it had actually secretly developing the CZ6 which were discontinued since 2005, The original Saminda CZ6 was revealed at the Chicago Motor Show in 1987. ,the car enjoyed a 15-year-plus production run, but with the facelifted model discontinued in 2005, it’s been a while since Saminda had a machine to challenge the likes of Italian supercars. President/CEO of Saminda , Shibuya Kuge said that the new CZ6 would only be assemble in California and won't be in Japan. he also said the CZ6 would be sold in their Luxury division , Auxuras, however it will be sold as Saminda in Japan , the carmaker still did not reveal their powertrain but rumours were saying that the engine would be likely a 3.5litre V6 turbocharged and pumps out around 500BHP.

Seems like Saminda is coming back to the game and it wants to "Inject some joy" for year 2013.

CR45

YEAR 2012


Saminda CR45 2.7 FWD and AWD
Image


Saminda CR45 V6 AWD
Image
The Saminda CR45 is a mid-sized SUV designed by Saminda Motor Thailand. Originally assembled only in Thailand, but later also in Indonesia and other countries , the CR45 was introduced in Australia on 2012. It features three rows of seats and is available in front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The CR45 was sold with 2 different petrol engines mated with a 5-speed automatic transmission, both the engine is designed to have low end power , the 2.7-liter makes 158bhp at 5800rpm and 248nm of torque at 2600rpm , while the 4.0-liter makes 231bhp at 5700rpm and 353nm of torque at 2400rpm , This car was the best selling in its category in Thailand and it is not offered in Japan, Europe, North America or China.

The CR45 does a great job in more challenging terrain, in part due to the extensive testing and engineering development. A towering 279mm ground clearance helps it clear rocks, and if you're game you can wade through up to 700mm of water. The suspension, too, allows good articulation from left to right, helping plant wheels into holes or over crests. If a wheel hangs in the air the traction control system does a great job of figuring it out and maintaining progress. If you're chasing more traction – through mud, sand or snow, for example – the rear diff lock can be engaged. The CR45 is an impressive machine in the rough stuff. Plus it can tow up to 3000kg.

Re: Saminda Motor Co - CR45 ''Japan Pride , Thailand Spirit'

I am guessing that the CR45 would also be available for purchase in New Zealand, as it's being sold in Australia, or am I wrong?
