Renault Duster strong hybrid E-Tech 160 — bookings open at ₹21,000, ahead of the 17 Oct debut; signals Renault’s first strong-hybrid push into the diesel-SUV segment. (14 outlets) (RetailIntel)

Toyota 2026 Fortuner Leader Edition — launched at Rs 36.51 lakh (4x2 manual, ex-showroom), bookings open 12 Oct; premium SUV dealers should brace for demand/stock allocation. (11 outlets) (RetailIntel)

Kia India buyback programme — now extended to ICE, hybrid and EV models with assured residual value of up to 75%, across 910 touchpoints; a retention/trade-in play that rivals may feel pressure to match. (7 outlets) (RetailIntel)
