Upcoming SUV Launches in India : The Indian SUV market is booming at the moment, and arguably, the year with the most buzz as far as auto launches would have to be 2025. The first half of this year had some major launches, but the second half looks to be even more packed. A good number of carmakers are going to roar in with fresh models as well as long-awaited facelifts, for sure.
The manufacturers will come up with innovative SUVs, with advanced technology and enhanced safety features and design to cater to varying needs-from rugged off-roaders to urbanite-friendly compact SUVs. Let us find out the most awaited SUV launches expected in the second half of 2025, from newly arrivals to long-anticipated facelifts.
Mahindra Thar 5 Door
This is one of the major launches this year. The five-door variant will make the new car much larger and more user-friendly while still remaining true to its off-roading roots. Multiple engine options, petrol and diesel, automatic and manual transmissions, and superior creature comforts are expected. This Thar will attract both adventure seekers and the touring kind.
Tata Curvv an ICE and EV
Tata is readying this Curvv SUV in petrol and diesel as well as pure electric variants. With a futuristic design akin to a coupe and plush interiors, the Curvv wants to lure buyers in the mid-size SUV segment into its fold away from the swarm of SUVs. Expect to see goodies like a panoramic sunroof, digital displays, and even ADAS, offered in the higher variants.
Hyundai Alcazar Facelift
Alcazar will be getting a total facelift and updates on the exterior, features, and comfort. The new Alcazar will bring along ADAS, a larger touchscreen, and probably some respite for third-row passengers. It would further be pitted against likes of the Safari and XUV700.
Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor AWD
With the launch, an AWD option is expected to be on offer with the latest Urban Cruiser Taisor and/or maybe a performance variant to woo SUV enthusiasts searching for something more than mere looks. Other than the above, the SUV will most likely carry Maruti’s turbo petrol engine with some tweaks by Toyota to enhance driveability.
Citroen Basalt Coupe SUV
Citroen’s Basalt is really an extraordinary proposition, more like a coupe-SUV that is likely to be powered by a turbo petrol engine for that punchy feel. It will be angled at buyers who have a slant to style and who want something completely new in the segment. Expect Citroen-level comfort, quirky design, and competitive price.
