Most Iconic and superhit BS4 engine cars in India: From Toyota Innova Crysta to Maruti Brezza

Back in 2020, Supreme Court declared no sale or registration of BS 4 vehicles from March 31st 2020 and BS6 emissions standards kicked in from 1 April 2020. Due to these norms, certain models like Baleno RS with a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine and engines like 1.3-litre multijet from Fiat had to be discontinued.
Many automotive manufacturers have been forced to either port older engines into BS6 or make new engines to comply with the norms. This resulted in the retirement of the most iconic and superhit engine cars.
In this article, let’s take a look at BS4 engine cars that were discontinued.
