The upcoming months will be busy for the midsize SUV market as new models are all set to enter the market. Also, there are two brand-new off-road lifestyle SUVs in the works. Here are future SUVs with prices in the Rs 10 to 15 lakh range for India.
Maruti Suzuki Jimny
The India-specific five-door Maruti Suzuki Jimny, which was unveiled at the 2023 Auto Expo in January, will go on sale in a few weeks. The Jimny is based on a ladder frame chassis and will be sold through NEXA premium dealerships. It has greater room than the international three-door variant and is powered by a 1.5L K15B four-cylinder petrol engine. A four-speed AT or a five-speed MT will be used to connect the powertrain, sending power to all four wheels as standard.
2024 Kia Seltos
By the middle of this year, the facelifted Seltos will reportedly be available in the midsize SUV market. It will get a tonne of interior and exterior improvements. The interior will receive new features and technologies. While the front fascia will receive a comprehensive revamp. To increase the range, a 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine with 160 Hp will be added to the selection.
2024 Tata Harrier and Safari
Around August 2023 is when the new Tata Nexon is anticipated to debut. And before the end of the year, the upgraded Harrier and Safari may follow. They have a good chance of making it to showrooms during the holiday season. A brand-new front fascia modelled after the Harrier EV concept unveiled in January will be added to both midsize SUVs.
For the domestic manufacturer, the Harrier and Safari have been respectable sellers. And the upcoming revisions are anticipated to strengthen the purchasing case. The SUVs’ MY2023 iterations added many new features, which will be retained. The brand-new 1.5L turbo-petrol engine may be one of the most significant upgrades.
New Mahindra Thar (5-Door)
Before coming on sale in early 2024, the five-door Mahindra Thar could make its world debut later this year. It will be larger than the current model and have 2.0L petrol and 2.2L diesel engines, while a 2WD option is also conceivable. It will face off against the Force Gurkha and the future five-door Maruti Suzuki Jimny.
