While new vehicles from Tata to Hyundai are making a splash in the Indian automobile market, there are some brands which are not clear about their future. Usually we tell you about the vehicles you should buy, but today we will tell you about 3 such car brands which you can ignore in the near future. These brands have been included in this list because their sales, updates or future plans are uncertain. Let us know which brands you can stay away from.
1.Jeep
Jeep entered the Indian market in 2017 with its SUV Compass and sold well in the initial months. But over time, its sales have declined due to increasing competition. With only 276 units sold in July 2024, Jeep’s future in the Indian market is in doubt. The company’s expensive prices, fewer features and expensive after-sales service make it a difficult option to buy.
2.Citroen
Citroen entered the Indian market with its 4 models, but the company’s situation is not looking good with only 335 units sold in July 2024. The company has shut down its operations in Australia due to low sales, and the situation is not much better in India either. Although Citroen is increasing investment to improve its position in the Indian market, but considering the current situation, it can be avoided to buy it.
3. Volkswagen
Volkswagen had promised to bring new models to the Indian market in 2024, but so far only limited edition models have been seen. The company sold around 3,000 units in July 2024, but the company’s ambiguity regarding future models has disappointed its fans. However, with the upcoming launch, some new announcements are expected from VW, but for now, you can cross this off your list as well.
Overall, you can understand that the vehicles which are sold in large numbers are often easy to service and do other work on, whereas when a middle-class brand is trying to establish itself and its sales are low, then due to low margins, problems in service and other things are often visible.
Maruti and Tata cars are being sold in large numbers, due to which everyone says that you should buy these cars with your eyes closed because after buying these cars, there are no problems related to service etc. anywhere in the country.
