Premier 118NE

Premier 118NE was supposed to be a game-changer when it was announced in the Indian market. Hopes were high, but many people now believe that the car never lived up to its name. The car had its share of problems, which led to low sales.

Hyundai Terracan

The car was majorly designed, keeping the off-road experience in mind. However, that turned out to be detrimental for the company. On-road, the steering felt stuck, and the car didn't feel smooth while bending. In addition, the weird shape of the car ended up making not of wind noises while traveling at high speeds.

Premier RIO

The subcompact SUV could've been a hit if the timing wasn't off for its release. This, coupled with problems like the build quality and after-sales services, did the car no favors. It got discontinued in 2018 after six years of production.

Daewoo Nexia

The aim was to attract the sedan lovers that flooded the market. However, the car failed to make any connection with the diverse crowd. The company went under massive debt, after which it had to be sold.
