It's raining cars this festive season: Tiago EV, Grand Vitara, EQS 580 and more

The festive season is usually the time when a majority of Indian car buyers opt to buy new vehicles. Automakers witness a sales surge during this time, considering the customers believe that it is an auspicious time to buy a new vehicle. The positive consumer sentiment during the festive season drives many automakers across different segments to bring their completely new models or updated versions of the existing automobiles.
