Up to five SUVs are anticipated to debut in India next month to take advantage of the favourable holiday shopping atmosphere. Up to five SUVs are anticipated to debut in India in September 2023, and some of them have already been disclosed and their launch dates confirmed. Here, we provide all the pertinent information:
1. Tata Nexon Facelift:
The Curvv concept’s design will have a significant influence on the facelifted Tata Nexon, and the interior will also see significant changes. The current petrol engine will probably be replaced by a new 1.2L turbo DI petrol engine with 125 PS and either a manual or a DCT. A larger 10.25-inch touchscreen, a larger digital cluster, a 360-degree video system, six airbags, a revised steering wheel, touch-based HVAC controls, etc. are among the enhanced features.
2. Honda Elevate:
We’ve previously tested the midsize SUV, and next month in India the costs will be revealed. Click the link to read our initial thoughts and the results of the petrol CVT mileage test. The 1.5L NA VTEC petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox or CVT are shared by the five-seater and are based on the same basis as the fifth-generation City.
3. Citroen C3 Aircross:
Both a five- and a seven-seater version of the Citroen C3 Aircross will be offered in a fully loaded Max specification. The midsize SUV is available in ten different colour schemes and contains more than 90% local content, allowing for competitive pricing. It is supported by the same CMP chassis as the C3 and has a 110 PS 1.2L turbocharged petrol engine. It only works with MTs that have six speeds.
4. Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus:
The Mahindra Bolero Neo Plus, which sits underneath the Scorpio Classic, has been long overdue, and its costs will probably be revealed in September as well. It will be sold in a variety of seating arrangements and come with the dependable 2.2L diesel engine that generates 120 PS.
5. Toyota Compact SUV:
To profit on the holiday craze, a rebadged Maruti Suzuki Fronx is anticipated to join the market in September or October. It will differ slightly from its donor in terms of both the exterior and interior, and it will be powered by either a 1.2L K-series three-cylinder or a 1.0L three-pot turbo petrol engine. The Fronx-style equipment list will be practically exact.
