Maruti has unveiled a limited edition of the Maruti S-Cross crossover.
Maruti has chosen to call the S-Cross as a premium crossover, which is evident once you look at the hatchback-like profile of the vehicle.
It's a mix of a large hatchback and a compact SUV
Lack of a petrol engine and an automatic variant for the current diesel motor might upset some of the buyers.
S-Cross has seen a 22 per cent drop in dispatches in September.
Hyundai Creta has emerged as one of the best looking four wheelers and certainly the best looking compact SUV in 2015 and that has worked remarkably in their favour as far as sales is concerned.
MSI in January increased prices by up to Rs 31,600.
It is likely to be launched around Diwali
Right now, the 'Lower D' or LD segment -- which the industry defines as a sedan that costs between Rs 1.5 million and Rs 2 million, is longer than 4.5 metres, and powered by an engine of 1.8 litre or larger -- has barely three cars, all of which have been around for over a decade in India. Nevertheless, at least one foreign auto player is looking to bet big on the segment.
Two of these launches are from the country's largest passenger carmaker, Maruti
With fast changing mentality of the crowd here, the automakers are creating their own categories to attract more and more buyers.
The year 2015 was quite eventful with plenty of automakers making news with either new models or facelifts of their existing models.
Renault Kwid is also the longest of the lot and at 3680mm length, the vehicle may turn out to be the most spacious in its segment.
Seven auto companies lost share in the current year because of different reasons.
Auto loan costs remain stubbornly high.
Maruti is trying to move up the segment by focusing on premium cars, SUVs and even trucks.
2015 will witness exciting new car launches that will prompt you to buy at one of them.
