Upcoming Pickup Trucks Launching in India Soon : The trucks today have evolved from just mere haulers to second options after a few business, adventurous, or lifestyle types of buyers in India. In the Indian automotive scene, it is all set to welcome some tough and trendy new pickups in 2025. The forthcoming truck models are all about contemporary looks, powerful engines, technology galore, and avenues for hybridity and electrification! So, if you are planning to acquire a pickup truck any time soon, here are some of the coolest vehicles being brought in for India.
Mahindra Global Pik Up
Mahindra Global Pik Up is expected to have a limited launch in early 2026 from the company’s home turf. The truck is very much based on a new platform and would most probably come in single and double cab options. A 2.5-litre diesel engine might possibly power the vehicle, with tremendous safety and connectivity features. Mahindra is aiming for a global-level pickup for India to compete with international brands.
Kia Tasman
Kia Tasman stands on the verge of stepping into the pickup scene for the midsize segment, expected to be offered in petrol and diesel versions starting around mid-2026. The Tasman will have manual and automatic transmission options with rear or four-wheel drive variants. Smart styling with a modern interior is sure to woo potential owners for commercial or personal needs.
Toyota Hilux Mild-Hybrid
Toyota is working on a mild-hybrid version of the great Hilux pickup for India. This new version is likely to resort to hybrid technology to better fuel efficiency and achieve emission norms on the current 2.8-litre diesel engine. With an introduction from late 2025 to early 2026, the hybrid Hilux is probably going to hold its brand honor as a strong off-roader.
Isuzu D-Max EV
Isuzu is designing the electric version of its D-Max pickup. This electric vehicle is expected to carry a four-wheel drive system with a range of 250-260km on full charge. It will also suit both business and eco-friendly users with 1-ton payload capacity upwards. The D-Max EV is expected to land on Indian roads after EV enablement increase.
BYD Shark (Range-Extender Hybrid)
The Shark is the plug-in hybrid pickup truck from BYD that uses a petrol engine with two electrical motors in tandem. It can, with this power to back and extended range, easily work both long distances and hard labor. While not confirmed for India yet, if an increase in demand for this kind of hybrid pickup is seen, BYD might well enter the Shark into competition.
