India's Car Market In 2022
The car market in India saw a lot of new models and impressive, record-breaking numbers for many manufacturers. However, some popular models also witnessed their end in 2022. Check the models we'll not be seeing much of on Indian roads
Hyundai Santro
One of the most iconic car brands in the country, Santro saw the end of its long life in 2022. The company decided to discontinue the vehicle in May 2022
Another iconic brand name that was discontinued was the Polo hatchback. The car's production was stopped in April 2022 after a 12-year run in the Indian market
Renault Duster made an impressive start in the Indian market but it was discontinued in February 2022. Renault was expected to launch the latest Dacia Duster version in India but so far, the company hasn't made anything official
The Hyundai Elantra was one of India's very few D1 segment cars. However, the South Korean brand decided to discontinue the car in March 2022
Datsun line-up

Hyundai Nios Diesel
and Aura Diesel
Hyundai decided to discontinue the Nios and Aura diesel variants in India. The decreased demand for diesel powertrains in the small-car segment could be the likely reason why Hyundai axed both cars with a diesel powertrain
Maruti Suzuki S-Cross
The Maruti Suzuki S-Cross was discontinued in October 2022. The car failed to make a mark in the Indian market due to options like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos
Mahindra Alturas G4
