The i20 is set to get a comprehensive generational update with a design similar to its Euro-spec counterpart that follows Sensuous Sportiness design language, albeit with some tweaks.

Expected Price: Rs 16.50 lakh

Another special edition on the way is the Camo Edition. It will be offered in six variants: XT, XT+, XZ, XZA, XZ+ and XZA+. That's the same as the Harrier Dark Edition. It's likely to be priced at a similar premium of around Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 over to its standard counterparts. The other difference is that it will come in a green body shade with accents all over.

Expect the cabin upholstery to be similar to the Harrier Dark Edition but features are likely to remain unchanged. Under the hood, it will retain the 2.0-litre diesel engine that develops 170PS and 350Nm. Transmission duties are taken care off by either a 6-speed manual gearbox or 6-speed torque converter. The Harrier takes on the likes of the.

Highlights include a sharp single-frame grille with LED headlamps and DRLs, sporty bumpers, and Audi's updated MMi infotainment system which can only be controlled via touch inputs. Expect features such as a premium sound system, various drive modes, keyless entry with push button start/stop, ambient lighting, and the latest version of Audi's Virtual cockpit. Unfortunately, connected features like parking search, Google Maps updates, fuel and flight price information may not be available for the India-spec model.

Under the hood, expect a 3.0-litre petrol delivering 349PS and 500Nm with all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission. It currently doesn't have any rivals in India, but its pricing could be in the ballpark of the.

Mercedes-Benz A-Class Limousine

Expected Price: Rs 40 lakh

Next up is the at Auto Expo 2020. It will replace the CLA four-door coupe to become the carmaker's new entry-level model in the country. Bookings are also open for a token amount of Rs 2 lakh. It is a proper five-seater sedan with features such as LED headlamps with sharp DRLs, a strong silhouette, and a swanky tail light design. It's fairly loaded on the inside too with a twin-screen layout consisting of the digital driver's display and a touchscreen infotainment system. Highlights include electronically adjustable seats, Mercedes Me connected car tech, the latest MBUX software, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, a touchpad centre console, smartphone integration, voice commands and wireless charging. A reversing camera, lane keep assist and seven airbags are some of the safety features on offer.

It utilises a 2.0-litre twin-turbo petrol engine that delivers 306PS of grunt and 400Nm of twist. It is paired with a 7-speed DCT automatic gearbox with all-wheel-drive. Standard variants would be introduced at a later stage with 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines, although detailed specs are yet to be revealed. It is likely to be a locally assembled model, so we can expect an aggressive price tag. It will rival the recently launched.
