The carandbike Show | New Car Unveils & Launches | Ashish Gupta VW Interview
It has been a really busy week, since we have had multiple new launches and global debuts. So, what better than to give you a quick lowdown on the Citroen C3, the second model from Citroen for the Indian market, the tech-laden MG Astor, which will be launched in India soon and the first look of the Audi’s latest salvo in the premium electric vehicle space, the e-Tron GT and the RS e-Tron GT, which were launched in India. In the second segment, on the day of the launch of Volkswagen's Taigun Compact SUV, Siddharth Vinayak Patankar, editor-in-chief, carandbike, sits down with Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars India, to understand what makes it the most competitive offering in the segment. We also get answers to questions about the pre-bookings it has received and also what the company plans to do to keep up with the demand of the new Taigun Compact SUV in the market.
Some notable highlights for us are that the Hyundai Venue will now also feature traction control modes, and a diesel automatic option will also be available.
In Lexus' eyes, sedans are fighting a 'losing battle with SUVs', which is why the LS name has been granted to one of the most shocking new concepts -- a six-wheeled van -- on display at this year's Japan Mobility Show.
Toyota says that the new Corolla Concept is based around its philosophy of ‘Mobility For All’ and features a marked design departure from its predecessors.
Showcased in prototype form, the 0 α previews the smallest and most accessible model in the Honda 0 Series EV family yet; expected to be closer in size to BYD's Atto 3.
