These launches are in tune with their strategy of '15 in 15' India market growth plan, which will see the luxury car manufacturer launch 15 models and open 15 new outlets during 2015.
The cars will be brought to India as Completely Built Units, which explains the steep pricing.

The gear box helps increase mileage and has both an 'Economy' and a 'Sport' mode. The car comes with paddle shifts, which may be used when in sports mode.
On the exterior, the car sports a redesigned bumper, radiator grille and headlamps. While on the inside, this car has a clear, functional design with only high end materials used. The front seats are equipped with electric adjustment for height and backrest angle. The rear passengers get electric head restraints, which also act as a roll-over protection system.
