Top 4 Upcoming Compact SUVs in India : The compact SUV as a body type has become the prime choice of car buyers in India. It combines style, space, ground clearance, and comfort while remaining comparatively smaller in size with lower prices. With tons of new launches lined up for 2025, the compact SUV segment gets even more interesting. Thus, if you are looking to upgrade from an old hatchback or you’re simply searching for your very first SUV, the models listed below are worth the wait.
So, here is a list of the top 4 compact SUVs expected to ignite the Indian market in 2025.
Tata Curvv
After having shown the electric variant, Tata is now geared to launch the Curvv in petrol and diesel guise. With low coupe styling, upmarket interiors, and contemporary gadgetry, the car will surely be in a class of its own. It will sit above the Nexon and should have engine options of 1.2L turbo petrol and 1.5L diesel. The Curvv ICE should find its way into showrooms sometime around late 2025, flaunting bold styling good enough to leave one’s jaw to the floor and a cabin drenched with technology.
Hyundai Venue Facelift
Hyundai Venue is one of the top-selling compact SUVs, with a facelift expected in 2025. The facelift will likely include upgraded exteriors, refreshed interiors, and of course, some ADAS features on offer in the top variants. Engine specifications remain unchanged: 1.2L petrol, 1.0L turbo petrol, and 1.5L diesel. Hyundai might go on to bring some enhancements to the ride and infotainment experience along with this update, making it a better urban SUV.
Mahindra XUV300 Facelift (XUV 3XO)
XUV 3XO did make its headlines, but Mahindra could see some another variant or uplift in late 2025 specially pertaining to the entry and mid variants. With a class-leading engine performance, a giant touchscreen, and a panoramic sunroof, it stands one of the best feature-loaded compact SUVs on offer. Performance buyers would indeed be watching out for XUV 3XO for some real values.
Toyota Taisor
The Toyota Taisor has quite recently debuted as a rebadged Fronx from classic Maruti. However, even more potent turbo and CNG variants are all set to be launched in late 2025. This SUV could attract city users as well as the value-for-money buyers combining the Toyota badge with Maruti’s reliability.
