New Delhi: General Motors on Wednesday launched the Bharat Stage IV emission norms compliant variant of its multi utility vehicle (MUV) Tavera, priced between Rs 7.51 lakh and Rs 10.34 lakh (ex showroom Delhi).

"With the help of this new Tavera we'll be able to now sell the vehicle in 13 cities where BS-IV norms are applicable. We hope that this vehicle will be leader in its segment," GM India President and Managing Director Lowell Paddock told reporters here.
