Indian Car Brands Fading? Why Buyers Fear Honda, Nissan & Renault in 2025 | PODCAST- EPISODE 7

Are India’s favorite car brands really on the way out? After Ford, Chevrolet, and Fiat exited,
car buyers in India have developed what we call exit trauma. Every time a brand misses an
ad campaign or isn’t in the top 5, people worry: Are they next?

In this episode of Which Car Should I Buy, Siddharth Vinayak Patankar breaks it all down:
● Why cars like the Honda Jazz, Renault Duster, Jeep Compass, and Nissan Micra
struggled despite being capable.
● Whether today’s models like the Nissan Magnite, Honda Amaze, and Renault
Kiger are actually solid buys.
● How service networks, resale concerns, and lack of future launches affect your
buying decision in 2025.

If you’re considering a new car in India and worried about brand exits, this video will help you
separate fact from fear.
