The Tata Gravitas will be basically a 7-seat Tata Harrier.

The Tata Buzzard is coming to the domestic market as the Tata Gravitas. It will be nearly identical to the Tata Harrier at the front. At the rear, it will feature different tail lamps and bumper. Under the hood, there'll be a 170 PS version of the 2.0-litre Kryotec turbodiesel engine, which will be linked to a 6-speed MT or a 6-speed AT.

3. Tata Blackbird concept (Tata H4)

4. New Tata Nexon (facelift)

Lambretta will not participate in Auto Expo 2020

The 2020 Auto Expo was already looking dull for two-wheeler enthusiasts and now we’ve got information that Italian scooter major Lambretta will not participate in the biennial event. This is surprising, considering the company was supposed to display its range at Auto Expo 2020, as we’d reported earlier.

Maruti Suzuki to have 17-car display at Auto Expo 2020

?n=http%3a%2f%2fcdni.autocarindia.com%2fExtraImages%2f20200129123612_Maruti-Auto-Expo-2020-colla.jpg


With exactly a week left before Auto Expo 2020 kicks off, Maruti Suzuki has confirmed it will showcase a total of 17 cars at its pavilion.

Along with the Maruti Futuro-e SUV-coupé concept, what will also be showcased will be the Maruti Vitara Brezza facelift, as well as the Maruti Ignis facelift. Another model that will make its debut will be the Maruti S-Cross petrol, which will be on display alongside the rest of Maruti’s all-petrol line-up, including the Japan-spec Swift Hybrid, Celerio, S-Presso, Wagon R, Swift, Dzire, Baleno, Ertiga, Ciaz S and XL6.

The keen-eyed amongst you will have noted that’s only 14 cars, and while Maruti hasn’t mentioned it in its statement, we can confirm the fourth-gen Jimny will also be part of Maruti’s Auto Expo 2020 17-strong line-up. And while there is no word on whether Maruti will put the plucky off-roader on sale in India, enthusiasts will certainly be looking forward to seeing it in the flesh for the first time.

Coronavirus threat a concern for Auto Expo 2020

Having made its way past an unprecedented industry slowdown and having avoided being delayed by an entire year, Auto Expo 2020 is almost upon us. But with less than a week to go for the first day of the show, a new (and quite serious) challenge has emerged in the form of concerns over the deadly Coronavirus that originated in China, which has already claimed over 130 lives.

This year’s Expo is set to feature at least three prominent names from China – Great Wall Motors (GWM), Chinese state-owned First Automobile Works’ Haima Automobile, and commercial vehicle manufacturer Build Your Dreams (BYD). Senior executives from all companies are expected to fly in for the biennial motor show, but with the number of people diagnosed with the Novel Coronavirus (nCoV) in China increasing every day, the threat has raised concerns as the motor show is set to feature heavy Chinese presence.

There will also be several Chinese participants at the Components Expo, which will be held at Pragati Maidan from February 6-9. Addressing similar concerns for the Components Expo, Vinnie Mehta, director general, Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA), said, “As of now, everything is going as is but as an added precaution, we’re going to have added medical facilities at Pragati Maidan.

the Future-E Concept appears to me to be having similar dimension as that of Swift, if looked from above and will mostly resemble modified swift or Baleno. This is what I think. but would want to see if Suzuki is able to wow me at least this time. I am being wowed by them every single month on their sales chart but not a car from Suzuki stable has been able to wow me.

MG Motor India Teases 7-Seater Hector



MG Motor India has been testing the seven-seater version of the Hector in India and we have told you all about it. The company has now for the first time teased the car and yes, it will be showcased at the Auto Expo 2020. From the teaser image we can see that the car sports elements similar to the seven-seater Wuling Almaz, Hector's sister unit sold in Indonesia. We were the first ones to tell you that MG Motor was gearing up to launch the seven-seater Hector in January 2020. Now the Hector seven-seater isn't very different from the five-seater model, save for small bits like triangle sliver inserts in the headlamp housing, new pattern for the DRLs mounted up top and revised tail lamps.

Skoda Octavia RS 245 Launch Details Out

The Skoda Octavia RS 245 will be launched at the Auto Expo on February 5, 2020, with production limited to just 200 units for India.



The Skoda Octavia RS 245 is the new hot offering from the Czech automaker and we now have more details on the launch of the highly anticipated model. The performance-spec version of the Octavia will be launched at the 2020 Auto Expo on February 5. Zac Hollis, Director of Sales and Marketing, Skoda Auto India, confirmed the development in a video on his social media. The Skoda Octavia RS 245 will come to India as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) with the model limited to just 200 units for the market. The Octavia RS 245 is based on the current generation version sold in India, and the new generation Octavia is slated for launch in India in the second half of the year.

With production numbers being limited, expect the new Skoda Octavia RS 245 to not get a very affordable price tag. The previous Octavia RS was priced at ₹ 25.12 lakh, and the new version is expected to be priced between ₹ 30-35 lakh (ex-showroom). With the Auto Expo barely just days away, the Octavia RS will command our attention, in addition to a host of new launches planned from the brand.

The French carmaker will have a display of 12 cars and 2 engines which will obviously include all newly launched models like the Renault Triber, Kwid Facelift and Duster Facelift among others. That said, what we are most excited about are all the new products and concepts those will make their way to Renault's pavilion. And not only the cars, but also Renault's 1.0-litre motor and 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine that are expected to make their India debut at the Auto Expo.

Great Wall Motor Vision 2025 Concept To Make India Debut



It's the Vision 2025 concept which will make its public appearance at the 2020 Auto Expo and it wears the same Haval badge along with having an identical silhouette. The teaser images yet give only few details about the model, but going by the images, we can safely say that even the electric version will retain the similar butch design. Other known facts are that the SUV will get wraparound LED headlamps and tail lamps and a flush grille.



The carmaker has also said that it will come up with a wide range of SUVs at the biennial Auto Show and we expect models like the Haval H6, H9 and Ore R1 to be at display as well. The Chinese automaker is planning to invest about ₹ 7000 crore in India. Moreover, it is also looking at land options across the country for its manufacturing facility in states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu.

The Renault Triber AMT will be a part of Renault's 12 car line-up at the 2020 Auto Expo.



The Renault Triber AMT was spotted testing in India just last month and we were guessing that it will make its way to the 2020 Auto Expo. Well! carandbike can now confirm that the Triber AMT will be a part of Renault's 12 model line-up at the biennial motor show. The Renault Triber has proved to be a strong performer for the French carmaker in India. With 5631 units sold in December 2019, almost half of Renault's sales are attributed to the Triber and the AMT variant is a welcome addition.

Good move by Renault, just hope the AMT shifter is not the rotary contraption from Kwid, instead they should borrow the shifter from Datsun Redi-Go.
By the way, Triber looks great on the road.
