The Hyundai Elantra was one of India's very few D1 segment cars. However, the South Korean brand decided to discontinue the car in March 2022
Datsun has had a tough year in India. The company ended up discontinuing the Datsun Go, Datsun Go+ and Datsun RediGO. The three entry-level cars are no longer being produced for the Indian market
Hyundai decided to discontinue the Nios and Aura diesel variants in India. The decreased demand for diesel powertrains in the small-car segment could be the likely reason why Hyundai axed both cars with a diesel powertrain
