Skoda’s upcoming performance SUV has been fully booked in India before its official launch.

The appointment comes at a time when the company is looking to expand operations and strengthen its presence in the growing electric mobility components market.

The improvement has been driven by a decline in crude prices alongside reductions in central excise duties.

While the entire Maruti lineup has become dearer, the e Vitara has witnessed the steepest price hike.

The agreement, scheduled to take effect on July 15, allows exports of electric, hybrid and hydrogen-powered passenger vehicles without import duty from the sixth year onwards.

Renault has officially started exporting the latest Duster from India, with an initial batch of 750 units shipped from Chennai to South Africa.

The annual assessment reviews 22 leading automotive manufacturers across 10 parameters.

Dynamic models, high-frequency torque distribution, and millisecond-level emergency braking capabilities honed on racetracks will be implemented in mass-produced vehicles.

The model also introduces Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) Plus, an adaptive suspension system not offered on the India-spec Octavia RS.

The Tata Tigor could get some substantial updates very soon.
