New car brands gear up for 2018 Auto Expo

The 2018 Expo 14th edition, will be at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, on Feb 9-14, 2018

The 2018 Auto Expo, the country's largest and biennial automobile show, will be different in more than one way from the earlier one, held in 2016.

There will be new names and brands, such as Kia, Peugeot and MG (from Chinese company SAIC), all planning to enter the growing Indian car market. Lexus, luxury car brand of Japan's Toyota, is also likely. Volkswagen and General Motors (GM), earlier regulars, will not be seen this year. Some are seeking larger space.

"We are expecting some super-car brands this time. You will see changes in the list of participants," said Sugato Sen, deputy director-general
