Read on to know more:
1. Hyundai Alcazar Facelift: The facelifted Hyundai Alcazar will arrive in the second quarter of this FY and it will be heavily inspired by the recently launched new Creta with big revisions inside and out. It will gain features such as Level 2 ADAS and the equipment list will be further enhanced.
2. Kia EV9: The flagship seven-seater electric SUV from Kia has garnered significant praise in global markets, boasting a claimed driving range of 541 km in the WLTP cycle. Its anticipated launch in India is slated for around this festive season or in the final quarter of this fiscal year. Positioned above the EV6, it aims to make a strong impression in the Indian market in the premium space.
3. Toyota Fortuner Mild Hybrid: The Toyota Fortuner MHEV is expected to arrive in India before the end of this FY and it has been on sale in markets like South Africa for a few months now. It will use the same 48V mild hybrid technology found in the Hilux MHEV, as the system will enable improved fuel efficiency, lower emission and boost acceleration.
4. New-Gen Kia Carnival: The fourth generation Carnival will launch in India in the coming months. It received a facelift globally a few weeks ago and the India-spec premium MPV will get similar changes inside and out but compared to the old model on sale, it is a radical departure inside and out as this is the first time an all-new generation is making its way to Indian shores. The 2.2L diesel engine will continue, linked with an eight-speed torque converter auto.
5. Mahindra XUV.e8: Mahindra XUV.e8 Concept In the fourth quarter of this fiscal year, Mahindra is set to launch the XUV.e8, based on the XUV700, in India.

6. 5-Door Force Gurkha: The five-door Force Gurkha has already been teased in India and it will go on sale in the coming weeks. It will be available in multiple seating configurations including a seven-seater arrangement and the interior will get a larger touchscreen, shift-on-fly knob and a new digital cluster. The 2.6L Mercedes-Benz sourced diesel mill will stay put, paired with a five-speed MT.
7&8. 7-Seater Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara & Toyota Hyryder: The three-row versions of the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder are expected to launch before the end of this FY in India.
