Hyundai takes Mahindra Renault to court over Sandero
Hyundai Motor India has filed a lawsuit against Mahindra Renault, over their upcoming compact car, Sandero.
Hyundai Motor India has accused Mahindra Renault of trying to cash in on the image of Hyundai Santro, by launching a car with similar sounding name. Speaking to the media, a senior HMIL official said, “They (Mahindra Renault) are planning to launch Sandero, which is very similar sounding to our Santro. Both are hatchbacks and Santro is an established trademark and they are trying to get mileage out of it.”
Hyundai has requested court to not allow Sandero to go on sale in India.
