Besides the launch of the Gran Turismo model in India the company has also revealed its plans of bringing BMW X1 model in India. According to the company it will bring BMW X1 in India by the end of this year as a Completely Knocked-down Unit (CKD) so that it can assemble it in India and make it available at much lesser price as import of a CBU (Completely Built Unit) in India which attracts a 100% import duty.

Cars to look forward to this quarter are Ford Figo and Tata Aria that will be launched in the month of Feb and March respectively
