Some newly-launched cars in India are enjoying strong demand, but due to production limitations, the waiting period for them has escalated

To beat the current market slowdown and attract new buyers, many carmakers introduced new cars in India recently. Some of these new vehicles have managed to garner a lot of attention from buyers, some more than others. As such, the waiting period for a few of these newly-launched cars is quite high, while the same for a few others isn’t as long.

Here, we have detailed the waiting periods for five cars that were recently launched in the Indian market.

Mahindra XUV700 – up to a year

Mahindra XUV700 went on sale in India in October 2021, and the SUV has garnered a massive number of bookings (over 75,000). Due to the massive demand for it, there is a huge backlog of orders right now! New buyers would have to wait up to a year to take delivery of an XUV700, which is way higher than all other vehicles on sale in India.

Volkswagen Taigun – around 2 months

Volkswagen launched a new midsize SUV in India, named Taigun, in September this year. This is the second vehicle to be underpinned by the ‘MQB A0 IN’ platform, after Skoda Kushaq.
