Tech-laden cars and SUVs will dominate the launches in 2019
If the policymakers are to be believed, India will soon leapfrog to electric vehicles (EVs). That, however, has not stopped carmakers from introducing some fantastic vehicles in 2019, leaving buyers spoilt for choice in almost every segment. “The internal combustion engine will continue to stay, though diesel may not for long. Many people, especially those opting for diesel cars as commuter cars, will leave diesel rapidly after 2020,” said Gaurav Vangaal, senior analyst at IHS Markit Automotive.
India’s favourite carmaker, Maruti, will bring out a brand-new Wagon-R and a micro SUV, which it showcased at the Auto Expo. While the Wagon-R is expected in early 2019, the micro SUV may arrive only by Diwali. Big on space, the new Wagon-R is expected to have a 5-speed manual gearbox and an AMT option. An EV version is also on the cards.
The unnamed micro SUV will sit below the Vitara Brezza and will be strapped with a 1.2-litre engine. It will compete in the hatchback space, with the likes of Renault Kwid and Tata Tiago.
