In other cases, carmakers terminated those designs which were at the end of their lifecycle, as it did not make sense to invest in upgrading these models anymore.So, here we have a comprehensive rundown of all vehicles and SUVs that are no longer readily available to acquire from this April.Honda The carmaker that saw the most number of models vanish from its line-up due to the RDE norms is Honda. Used with a sole petrol engine, the KUV100 was Mahindras many economical design in India so far, and distinctively, came with a six-seater design with first-row bench seats in some variants. Late last year, the Alturas G4 was likewise discontinued for comparable reasons.Hyundai While Hyundai hasnt ceased any model entirely, it has actually made significant modifications to the powertrain line-up of several designs. Maruti has now consolidated the Alto line-up to simply the K10 design, rather than keeping a low-demand 800cc engine alive that isnt used by any of irs other models.Renault Its a similar story at Renault as well, as the French carmaker has terminated the 800cc gas engine from the Kwid line-up. Presently, Nissan has simply one design on sale in India– the Magnite compact SUV– till it brings some its global models as CBUs, as it announced earlier.Toyota Earlier in 2022, Toyota briefly terminated the Innova Crysta from our market, and while it has actually now made a comeback in diesel-only guise, the petrol variations of the popular MPV have actually been given a miss in its newest guise.

A couple of carmakers have their portfolios lowered to simply 2 or three designs. The Real Driving Emission standards or Phase II of the BS6 emission standards was brought into result for the Indian auto industry from April 1, 2023. This, as we have actually reported in the past, saw numerous carmakers cease some of their models altogether, or in many cases, particular variants of some models.For RDE compliance, all automobiles and SUVs are required to be tested for emissions in real-world conditions. Its mainly the small capacity diesel motor that need significant hardware updates to abide by the more stringent emission standards, which is expensive, and might not be always be financially viable. In other cases, carmakers discontinued those models which were at the end of their lifecycle, as it did not make sense to purchase upgrading these models anymore.So, here we have a detailed rundown of all cars and SUVs that are no longer available to purchase from this April.Honda The carmaker that saw the most number of designs vanish from its line-up due to the RDE norms is Honda. These standards have eliminated three Honda designs completely– allure, the WR-V and the fourth-generation Honda City. These, however, were slow selling designs and likewise at the end of their respective lifecycles. The RDE norms have actually likewise eliminated Honda diesel engines, which indicates the fifth-gen City and Amaze have lost the 1.5-litre diesel mills. Honda is presently made it through by just 2 designs in India– the fifth-gen City in petrol and hybrid guise, and the Amaze in petrol-only version.Skoda Skoda has actually had to cease the Octavia and Superb sedans in India due to these standards. Both designs were used with a 190hp, 2.0-litre petrol engine. Nevertheless, extremely poor sales– almost a 100 systems a month, each– and a decreasing sedan segment implies there was not much case for Skoda to upgrade these models. This likewise spells the complete end of the executive sedan segment in India– its rivals had actually been ceased long in the past. The 2.0-litre TSI engine will, however, continue to be used in the Kodiaq which has much lesser localisation. Apart from the Kodiaq, Skoda only has the Slavia and the Kushaq on sale in India.Mahindra Mahindra has actually needed to take the KUV100 NXT off the racks. Used with a sole petrol engine, the KUV100 was Mahindras most affordable design in India up until now, and distinctively, came with a six-seater design with first-row bench seats in some variants. Without any considerable upgrades over the years, it was quite long in the tooth, and hence, was sluggish selling too. Mahindras SUV variety now begins with the XUV300 and tops out with the XUV700. Late last year, the Alturas G4 was likewise stopped for similar reasons.Hyundai While Hyundai hasnt stopped any design entirely, it has actually made major modifications to the powertrain line-up of numerous designs. The i20 has lost its diesel engine and continues as a petrol-only hatchback. Likewise, the newly-launched Verna, too, is a petrol-only sedan, as the share of diesel in sedans and hatchbacks has actually significantly diminished in recent years. Going forward, Hyundai will use diesels just on its SUVs– Venue and upwards. In other places, the carmaker has actually switched the 159hp, 2.0-litre naturally aspirated fuel engine on the Alcazar with a new 160hp, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine. This engine will likewise quickly replace the 140hp, 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine on the Creta.Maruti Suzuki Maruti Suzuki has ended on the age-old Alto 800– the most cost effective design in the carmakers line-up. The outgoing generation of the Alto 800 was on sale in the market for over a years, and was also Marutis many dated item in its line-up. Furthermore, with the more recent and significantly much better Alto K10 coming in, there was a rate overlap between both models. Maruti has now combined the Alto line-up to simply the K10 design, instead of keeping a low-demand 800cc engine alive that isnt used by any of irs other models.Renault Its a comparable story at Renault as well, as the French carmaker has actually stopped the 800cc fuel engine from the Kwid line-up. This entry-level section is quite conscious changes in price, and with incremental increase in price with each emission and safety guideline, the price aspect goes down, which is why the 800cc variants of the Kwid were not particularly in great demand. The Kwid is, for that reason, now only available with the 1.0-litre gas engine. The Triber and the Kiger have also been made RDE-compliant. Nissan has actually finally ceased the Kicks midsize SUV in India. The company had already stopped production of the Kicks a while back, and dealers too had actually stopped accepting reservations. In its latter days, Nissan hardly sold any units of Kicks in the face of much newer and more skilled rivals. Currently, Nissan has just one design on sale in India– the Magnite compact SUV– till it brings some its worldwide models as CBUs, as it announced earlier.Toyota Earlier in 2022, Toyota momentarily ceased the Innova Crysta from our market, and while it has now rebounded in diesel-only guise, the fuel variations of the popular MPV have actually been given a miss out on in its latest guise. With the brand-new Innova Hycross targeted at personal buyers, the Innova Crsyta is mostly suggested for the fleet and taxi sectors. And while diesel naturally fits the targeted purchaser of the Crysta, petrol versions wouldnt have actually made much sense here. Diesel was constantly the more popular fuel choice among Innova purchasers, which is why Toyota choose not to update 2.7-litre petrol engine on the Crysta for RDE-compliance.
