Major Missing: 5 Iconic Car Brands That Still Aren't Available In India

Introduced in the year 1953, Subaru happens to be the Japanese automaker that has been regarded for the 'Boxer' engine layout and the Symmetrical AWDs. The creator of some best-looking automobiles, Subaru, is the omnipresent name in the global automobile market. And it is not a surprise to say that Subaru Forester has been propelled in the Indian market by General Motors but only temporarily. However, within a short span, it just vanished from the country.
What's believed today is the fact that Subaru has been a recognizable name associated with the devoted fan base of those who desire and admire utility vehicles over anything else.That very promptly makes the brand a prospective company for one such marketplacelike India. Hopefully, Subaru will soon notice the potential of the Indian market and make its debut shortly.
Dodge
Being a proud manufacturer of Challenger, Doge happens to be the American automaker that manufacturers some best vehicles in the market of the United States. It's a recognized brand worldwide and prominent in Far East Asia, Western Europe, China, etc.

Dodge has been a popular brand testing automobile lovers ' patience for a brand that got introduced over ten decades ago (sometimes in the 1900s). But we don't know when this brand is going to debut in the Indian market; at least there's no information as of now. But as soon as it gets introduced in the Indian market, it is hopeful that avid enthusiasts will love the Dodge cars.
Peugeot
Ever since its inception in 1810, Peugeot has been great in serving people with its automobiles. It started as a family business, but today Peugeot is known for being the most amazing French automobile manufacturer in the global market. Ever since its advent, Peugeot has kept on ruling multiple hearts and even international awards for the vehicle inventory. As a matter of fact, Peugeot is a brand cherishing greener values & has been ranked in the list of top three brands with low carbon dioxide emissions in the European market.
Dubbed as the lion, the brand is a name regarded for producing tough, rough, and eco-friendly vehicles. Mahindra already acquired the two-wheeler arm to introduce it to India's market. But sadly, the plans really never crystalized. So, there's seldom any sign of the brand to make its entry in the Indian automobile market.
Lincoln Motors
This American automaker is regarded for manufacturing vehicles that define luxury! Lincoln Motors witnessed its introduction to the car market in the year 1907. And later on, this company got taken over by Henry & Edsel Ford, who revamped the whole image of this automotive brand.

Eventually, it turned into the most admired and luxurious marques of America. In recent times, it has been producing top-notch luxury sedans &SUVs like Navigator &Continental. The Lincoln professionals truly can turn the whole luxury segment in their favor if it enters the Indian market. However, we do not know whether it will enter the Indian market soon.
Mazda
An extremely popular automaker of Japan, Mazda probably has some alluring vehicles to offer. Regarded for producing highly capable cars, Mazda implements some elegant styling elements, making the vehicles unique.

Mazda 3 features diesel and petrol variants, which have the 2.5/2.0 liter petrol motor &the2.2-liter turboengine. From the specsmentioned above, it can be stated that if it enters the Indian market, it will be a superb offering for conditions. Let's wait for the time when the brand decided to enter the Indian automobile industry.
So, these are the car brands that avid automobile enthusiasts want to see in India.
