CARMAKERSATAUTOEXPO 2023: COMPLETEA-Z GUIDE

While not as large as previous editions, AutoExpo 2023 still had plenty in store - from new launches to global unveilings and future concepts. And even though mainstream carmakers like Mahindra, Honda, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar Land Rover and many more decided to skip this edition, the carmakers who were in attendance had a strong showing and made the best out of the event. Here's what each car manufacturer had on display at Auto Expo 2023.

BYD

Chinese EV maker Build Your Dreams' star attraction at AutoExpo 2023 was the Seal electric sedan, which is set to launch in India by the fourth quarter of 2023. The Seal gets single-motor and dual-motor powertrain options, and it comes with two battery packs - a 61.4kWh unit (550km claimed range) and an 82.5kWh unit (700km claimed range). Also, on display at the BYD stall was a new limited edition of the Atto 3 electric SUV. 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 Delhi).

HYUNDAI

Korean giant Hyundai launched its Ioniq 5 electric crossover at Auto Expo 2023. The EV is priced at Rs 44.95 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom) for the first 500 customers, which makes it Rs 16 lakh cheaper than the closely related Kia EV6. However, it's worth noting that while the Kia is a CBU, the Hyundai comes to India via the CKD route. Alongside, Hyundai also showcased the Ioniq 6 electric sedan, which stands out with its striking, aeroefficient design and the Nexo fuelcell electric vehicle.
