Dreaming of buying a trendy new car within ₹10 lakh? Indian consumers have great things to look forward to as leading auto manufacturers get ready to introduce new models with great features. Considering purchasing a new ride? Wait for it because these new cars may be worth the wait.

Upcoming Hyundai Venue

Hyundai plans to bring the next-gen Venue during this year’s festive period. While its small SUV design is bound to remain, there may be exterior design tweaks. The largest point of emphasis may be the introduction of Level 2 ADAS features, which will ensure safer and more confident driving for families. There is no anticipated shift in the engine department, retaining familiarity under the bonnet.

Tata Punch EV

Tata Motors will soon introduce the electric version of the Punch to Indian customers. As per reports, the size of this iconic SUV will not change, but the design and cabin will be upgraded to make it look newer. Tata may incorporate numerous features to enhance the user experience, making it desirable for those seeking a compact but reliable electric vehicle.

Mahindra XUV 3XO EV

Mahindra is poised to launch the electric variant of its XUV 3XO. The compact EV, which will come in under the XUV400 in Mahindra’s expanding electric line-up, is expected to boast a high range of 450 km on a single charge, propelling it among the top against competition from the likes of Tata Punch EV. The longer-range electric SUV buyer may just have to wait for this one.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid

Maruti Suzuki is also developing a hybrid model of its best-selling Fronx subcompact SUV. The vehicle is set to employ a 1.2-litre Z12E petrol engine with a smart hybrid system to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. On the other hand, in certain international markets, the Fronx hybrid might also provide ADAS features for increased safety, presenting a strong candidate in the budget-friendly hybrid SUV market.

Renault Kiger Facelift
