India is one of the largest car markets in the world. We witness a lot of new car launches in the country every month. However, the festive season has just got over and now the last month of the year December has started. The festive season is the best time of the year to make new purchases in India and so the carmakers usually launch their hot new products during that period only. Now, it's December and this means there won't be too many launches in India this month. However, there are some cars which might get launched soon. So, here we have listed for you the Top 10 Upcoming BS6 Cars in India in December 2020.
Top 10 Upcoming BS6 Cars in India in December 2020.
Hyundai i20 Era
Expected Starting Price: Rs. 5.99 lakhs
