Car brands are quietly correcting course in the Indian market, teasing products and adjusting pricing.
MG Rakan revealed in Kuwait previews the Majestor's interior with big screens and visual drama.
MG's critical test remains software stability and long-term reliability, not just showroom appeal.
This week didn’t bring earth-shattering launches, but it did reveal how brands are quietly correcting course. Some are teasing future products, some are finally delivering, and one brand clearly realised it had pushed pricing a bit too far. If you’ve watched the Indian car market long enough, these small moves matter.
MG Rakan Revealed In Kuwait Majestor’s Interior Tells A Story
MG has revealed the MG Rakan in Kuwait, which previews what we’ll see inside the Majestor. The cabin is exactly what you’d expect from MG. Big screens, glossy surfaces, lots of visual drama.

It’ll look impressive in a showroom, no doubt. But MG’s real test has always been software stability over time. I still remember an early Hector drive where the infotainment needed a reboot mid-journey. Cool features are great. Reliability keeps owners happy.
Tata has commenced deliveries of the Punch Facelift, and that is a sensible circulate in preference to an interesting one.

The facelift sticks to that formula. No wild design changes, just incremental improvements. If Tata has improved build consistency this time, Punch will continue selling quietly and steadily.
Nissan Gravite Launch Date Confirmed, Expectations Are Cautious
Nissan Gravite launch date confirmed, which puts the spotlight back on Nissan India. The compact SUV segment is crowded, and features alone won’t be enough.

Nissan’s bigger challenge is ownership confidence. I’ve met owners who liked their cars but felt unsupported later. Gravite needs to fix that image, not just look competitive on paper.
Volkswagen Tayron R-Line Bookings Open, Clear Niche Play
Volkswagen has opened Tayron R-Line bookings, and this isn’t aimed at mass buyers. It’s about brand image and enthusiasts who care about driving feel more than discounts. Sales volumes may stay limited, but that’s probably part of the plan.

Hyundai i20 Now More Affordable A Quiet Correction
Hyundai i20 now more low priced, with the base version returning. This is Hyundai admitting, quietly, that the i20 had moved a piece too a long way up the charge ladder.

With corrected pricing, the i20 another time makes sense for shoppers who want consolation and refinement with out jumping to an SUV.
This week wasn’t about big launches. It was about course correction. Brands that understand Indian buyers will benefit. The rest will learn the hard way.
