My View
To cater to the growing needs of modern-day car buyers, it becomes essential to keep up with the latest trends. We have seen such dark edition models from Mahindra, Tata and Hyundai in the last couple of years. Some consumers prefer the all-black treatment on the outside and inside. That is a great way to set a vehicle different from its stock avatar without having to incorporate too many customizations. Let us see how well the customers embrace this special edition of the coupe SUV.
