2015 has been an action packed year for the Indian automotive industry. We have seen new innovations like AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) that has gathered positive response for Maruti Suzuki and Tata Motors. Manufacturers like Volkswagen and Skoda have adopted the new downsizing trend offering new 1.5-litre diesel and turbocharged 1.2-litre petrol engines. Also, the awareness of safety is materialising starting from the year 2014, as some manufacturers are working towards better safety while the country’s biggest carmaker is being criticised for offering substandard safety. 2014 has also witnessed the discontinuation of two legendary cars – Maruti 800 and Hindustan Ambassador.
