So, if you are one of those people who are waiting to get a brand-new vehicle in the coming months, then this list is for you. Here is the list of all the cars that are coming in the next few months.
Maruti Suzuki Dzire
First off, India will be witnessing the launch of the newest generation of the popular sub-compact sedan from Maruti Suzuki — Dzire. The new Dzire will launch on November 4. This time around, the company has completely changed the appearance of the Dzire, and it now does not look like the current generation Swift with an added boot in the rear.
It will be getting a completely new exterior, interior, and a new engine. The new Dzire will also be getting the segment’s first single-pane electric sunroof as well. As for the pricing, it will be commanding a premium over the current generation model, which starts at Rs 6.57 lakh and goes up to Rs 9.34 lakh.
Skoda Kylaq
Next up in the launch lineup is the Skoda Kylaq. The newest sub-compact SUV to enter the market will boast similar styling to the Elroq EV and the current Kushaq. This new model will be the fifth to be based on the MQB A0 IN platform. It will measure under 4 meters in length.
The new Skoda Kylaq will be making its official debut on November 6. As per reports, it will be manufactured in Volkswagen’s Chakan Plant in Pune, Maharashtra. Deliveries of the Skoda Kylaq will commence in 2025. It will come powered by a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine making 118 bhp and 178 Nm of torque.
Honda Amaze
The Japanese automotive giant Honda is also working on the development of the new generation of the Amaze sub-compact sedan. This new model is being prepared to compete with the upcoming Maruti Suzuki Dzire. Most likely, it will also be getting a ton of changes on the outside as well as the inside.
Many reports have claimed that it could also get an electric sunroof to entice buyers. It could also get a 360-degree camera, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, and a premium interior. The powertrain option of the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol will remain the same. As for the launch date, it could be around the same time as the new Dzire.
Mahindra XUV 3XO EV
The country’s largest SUV maker, Mahindra, is also working on the development of the new XUV 3XO EV. Recently, a few spy shots of this electric SUV being tested on public roads were shared online. Like the XUV 3XO, the EV version will feature the same new LED projector headlights and new taillights.
However, there will be several EV-specific design cues, with the most important one being a closed-off grille. As per reports, it could get a 35 kWh battery pack. It will be placed under the Mahindra XUV400 and priced around Rs 2 lakh lower than the current EV SUV from the brand.
Maruti Suzuki eVX
Another electric SUV that will make its official debut in India is the Maruti Suzuki eVX. This particular SUV will be the brand’s first electric SUV in India. This new model is slated to be launched in January next year at the Bharat Mobility Auto Expo.
As per reports, the company will be offering two battery pack options: 48 kWh and 60 kWh. The bigger battery pack will offer a range of around 550 km on a single full charge. It will be manufactured at Maruti Suzuki’s plant in Gujarat.
Hyundai Creta EV
Competing directly with the Maruti Suzuki eVX will be the Hyundai Creta EV. The electric version of the Creta will be based on an electrified version of the modified K2 platform. Reportedly, it will likely get an LG-sourced 45 kWh battery pack, while the electric motors will come from the second-generation Kona EV sold overseas.
The setup could produce 140 PS and 255 Nm. It has been stated that the Creta EV could offer a range of around 250 to 350 km on a single full charge. In terms of pricing, it could be in the range of Rs 20-25 lakh. It could also make its debut in January next year.
Tata Harrier EV
Last but not least, the highly anticipated Tata Harrier EV will be another electric SUV that will be launched in India. The Harrier EV will look exactly like the current generation Harrier; however, there will be visible differences, such as a closed-off grille at the front.
Powertrain-wise, it is expected to come with a dual motor setup that will offer AWD capabilities. The exact battery pack options have not been revealed, but reports claim it could offer a driving range of over 500 km on a single charge. The launch of this SUV is expected to take place around March next year.
