Auto Expo 2023 may have been smaller than past editions, but it packed a punch with exciting new launches, global debuts, and bold future concepts. Even though major brands like Mahindra, Honda, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Jaguar Land Rover skipped this edition, the carmakers who attended put on a strong show. Here’s what each car manufacturer had to offer at Auto Expo 2023.
BYD Seal
Chinese EV maker Build Your Dreams showcased the Seal electric sedan as its star attraction at Auto Expo India 2023. The company plans to launch it in India by the fourth quarter of 2023. The Seal gets single-motor and dual-motor powertrain options.
It also comes with two battery packs – a 61.4kWh unit (550km claimed range) and an 82.5kWh unit (700km claimed range). BYD also showcased a new limited edition of the Atto 3 electric SUV at their stall. Finished in a Forest Green colour, only 1,200 units of the Atto 3 limited edition will be on offer at Rs 34.49 lakh (ex-showroom).
Hyundai ioniq 5
Hyundai, the Korean auto giant, drove excitement at Auto Expo 2023 by unveiling its Ioniq 5 electric crossover. Priced at ₹44.95 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom) for the first 500 buyers, it undercuts the closely related Kia EV6 by a whopping ₹16 lakh. The price difference makes sense though—while the Kia arrives in India as a CBU, Hyundai assembles the Ioniq 5 locally through the CKD route.
Maruti Suzuki
Maruti turned heads at Auto Expo 2023 with the debut of its eVX electric SUV concept. This bold showcase gives a sneak peek at the brand’s first born-electric SUV, set to hit the roads in 2025. Other big attractions, much-awaited Jimny 5-door and the Baleno-based Fronx compact SUV, both of which slated to launch this year. Maruti had more surprises in store with the upcoming Brezza CNG, a flex-fuel Wagon R, and stylish matte black editions of both the Brezza and Grand Vitara SUVs stealing the spotlight.
Exciting Two Wheeler
QJ Motor
This is from Chinese bikemaker QJ Motor, SCR 125, with 124cc single-cylinder bike. While the engine is a puny one, it gets properly chunky underpinnings, and the design is in line with American cruisers. The roomy floorboards, tank-mounted fuel gauge, and dual-end exhaust completes the cruiser look.
SRV 125
QJ Motor brought some muscle to the 125cc segment with this bold cruiser, clearly inspired by the Ducati Scrambler and its own SRV300. It runs on a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that churns out 14.7PS and 12.1Nm, paired with a six-speed gearbox. Not bad at all for an entry-level ride, right?
Alongside this newcomer, QJ Motor also showcased its current Indian lineup at Auto Expo 2023, including the SRK 400, SRV 300, SRC 500, and SRC 250.
