Top Car News Of The Week: Here Are The Highlights From The Indian Car Market From Last Week
The Indian car market has been slowly gaining momentum, post the lockdown which had shutdown all operations for the past two months. Demand for vehicles is slowly reaching pre-COVID trends, while vehicle manufacturers have started introducing new products in the Indian market as well.
Here are the top highlights of the Indian car industry from the week that's gone by:
New Honda City Details Revealed
Honda Cars India has revealed all the details of its fifth-generation City sedan for the Indian market. Ahead of its launch scheduled in July, Honda has revealed all the details of the upcoming sedan. This includes the long list of features, design changes, colour options and even the BS6 powertrain.
The new Honda City will be powered by BS6-compliant petrol and diesel engine options. This includes a 1.5-litre petrol engine producing 120bhp and a 1.5-litre diesel unit churning out 100bhp. Both engines will come mated to a six-speed manual, with the petrol receiving the optional CVT automatic as well — here are more details.
Hyundai Creta Bookings Milestone
The all-new Hyundai Creta was launched in March 2020, with sales picking up only post the lockdown in the country. The Creta post lockdown has received an overwhelming response, even becoming the best-selling car in the country during the month of May 2020.
Recently, Hyundai reported that post lockdown the Creta has received over 30,000 bookings in the Indian market. Out of these, 55 per cent of them are towards the diesel variant as well. This is a new milestone for the brand — here are more details.
Tata Tiago JTP & Tigor JTP Discontinued
Tata Motors has discontinued the JTP versions of the Tiago and Tigor offerings in the Indian market. Both models faced low sales and demand, which was severely affected by the lockdown, resulting in the company discontinuing both models permanently.
The Tiago JTP and Tigor JTP were part of JT Special Vehicles Pvt Ltd., a 50:50 partnership between Tata Motors and Jayem Automotives. Tata Motors also announced that they bought over the 50% shares of JTSV from Jayem Automotive, making JTSV a fully-owned subsidiary of the OEM — here are more details.

MG Motors India announced the start of production of their upcoming Hector Plus SUV in the Indian market. The new MG Hector Plus is essentially a seven-seater version of the Hector SUV already available in the country.
Production of the Hector Plus began recently at the brand's Halol plant in Gujarat. The MG Hector Plus is expected to go on sale in the coming month and will rival the likes of the Toyota Innova Crysta — here are more details.
