Sakal Pune Auto Expo April 2017
Advancements in the fields of manufacturing take place every now and then, hence each vehicle which is presented by the company comes with some or the other improvements in its previous models and hence always you have something new in the market. Similarly, after a period of time, vehicles which have proved their metal in the market and which are still being appreciated by the market receive a facelift. A facelift is nothing but just the rendering done on the vehicle. As people are really bonded with some vehicles brand or its name, the company comes up with a newer version of the vehicle with all the upgrades suited and they tag it with the same previous name. This helps the brand grow and also ensures a specific number of sales as there is some or the other emotional attachment which is associated with the vehicles name.
Some vehicles get a facelift which includes the change in various design aspects. Also, there are vehicles which get some minimalistic cosmetic as well as technical or safety upgrades. For these vehicles, such a platform of a local Auto Expo seems to be great! People can get to watch a variety of vehicles from a variety of brands and can easily compare every aspect under one roof.

Apart from the Ignis, the test drive vehicles included the Renault Kwid, Toyota Innova Crysta and the Hyundai i-20 Elite as well.
Pre-Owned Cars
Apart from the showcasing of Brand new cars, the expo also consisted a huge amount of pre-owned cars. As India experiences development in every field, we can see its huge impact on the second-hand vehicle industry as well. The old vehicles which were showcased for sale consisted of cars from the year 2010 to the year 2016. There were literally vehicles which were used for about 10 months and were sold off. Looking at such examples, we can now understand how the country is developing. How the disposable money in people’s hand is increasing day by day.
There were days when people used to take years to repay car loans and when finally the car was theirs, it would be time to update it and hence sell it off. Nowadays it is no big deal to buy a car and sell it as soon as you have lost interest in it, or whatsoever the reason may be!
Apart from that, one thing I observed was that the pre-owned cars segment was 90% filled with Maruti Suzuki Cars! Like literally it felt like we are at a showroom of Preowned Maruti Suzuki Cars. We all know that the car maker single-handedly happens to deliver to more than 50% of the Indian Car Market. Due to that, the Pre-owned car segment being filled with Maruti Suzuki cars wasn’t a big deal!
