HorizonNext called for a change when it came to not only products by Tata Motors, but also a better sales and service network. Tata Zest was the company's first step in this direction. Tata Motors was the first company to come up with the idea of a sub-4 metre sedan with the Indigo CS.
A very spirited MD of Fiat India said at the 2014 Auto Expo, that the company will launch 4 new cars FY14-15. Out of these 4, 2 were going to be facelifts, that of the Linea and the Punto, the third was to be an out and out performance car while the final one would actually be an all-new car; well almost.
Hyundai was looking for an ideal successor for the Getz in all of its markets and wanted to become a significant player in the premium hatchback segment. The i20 fit the bill and when it was launched in 2008, was quite the car. Hyundai started exporting the car out of its Chennai plant and in 2012 it received the much deserved facelift.
Looking at the number of players in the 110cc scooter segment, this year TVS too jumped onto the bandwagon with a feature-packed one. The Zest is the top-of-the-range model of the Scooty which comes packed to the brim with features
Honda brought in the Activa 125 to cater to those who wanted more power than the one in the 110cc segment. The company with its 109cc Activa has already created waves in the automotive industry as the bike has already gone and become the largest selling scooter in India. There's already over 10,000,000 of them and counting.
The Discover name has three distinct models - the 100M, the 125 and then there is top dog; the 150. The 150F is the one with the half-fairing, analogue-digital meters and the LED tail lamp. The half-fairing adds a new dimension and this has been done to change people's lower perception in value about the bike.
