12th Auto Expo: launchers and newsmakers

Facelift of Superb and Yeti. 


Skoda is back at the expo with Yeti, which will be launched in the second half of 2014. The most notable changes to the front are the wider grille and the bi-xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights incorporated into them. The bonnet and the bumper are new as well. At the rear, the tail-lamps now get LEDs. The Indian Yeti is based on the Yeti Outdoor version and that means, like before, it will get black plastic cladding along the lower bits of the bumpers, side claddings and side moldings.
Skoda also showcased the facelifted Superb. The nip and tuck bring the Superb up to Skoda's new family look with the butterfly grille, reshaped headlamps and foglamps, re-profiled bumper and new bonnet. The bi-xenon headlamps come with integrated LEDs and the top Elegance trim features power washers. At the rear, the tail-lamps are part LEDs and the number plate has been moved to the boot-lid from the bumper.

Mahindra's Halo.

The Indian auto-major Mahindra & Mahindra unveiled its concept electric sports car 'Halo' which it expects to launch commercially in the next three years. The company said depending on the support from the Indian government for electric vehicle, Halo will be introduced in the country but it could very well hit overseas markets first. 

"This car has been fully designed and developed in India with all indigenous technology," Mahindra Reva Electric Vehicle CEO Chetan Maini said.

The company also introduced a quick recharge variant of its existing electric car e20, equipped with smart port technology.

The car can be fully recharged in one hour, while a recharge of 15 minutes will give a range of 25 km.
