Hatchbacks
The only all-new hatchback set to launch next year is the next-gen Maruti Suzuki Swift. This new Swift will feature a longer nose, a clamshell bonnet, and freshly designed LED headlamps. The rear door handle has also been moved to a conventional position. Inside, the design will be familiar, with a dash similar to the Franx and several shared features with other Maruti models. The new Swift will debut with a new 1.2L 3-cylinder engine, offering improved torque and reduced emissions. The car will be built on Suzuki’s hardtech platform and is expected to go on sale in early 2024.
Sedans
The Tata Altroz is due for an update, with the new model featuring a 10.25-inch touchscreen, digital tiles, a sunroof, ventilated front seats, and a wireless phone charger. Safety features will also be enhanced, with six airbags included. The engine options will include a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.5L diesel engine, and a 1.2L turbo petrol engine with increased power. The new model will also feature a six-speed manual gearbox. The eighth-generation BMW 5 Series will also be coming to India in long wheelbase form, offering more space in the back seats. The range will include 2L petrol and diesel engines with mild hybrid technology, and 3L petrol and diesel engines may also be offered. The electric sibling of the 5 Series, the i5, will also be available in India.
Citron Sedan
Citron is preparing to launch its first sedan in India, the C3X. This unique sedan will have the ground clearance of an SUV and will stand out among its rivals. The interior will share many features with the C3 Aircross SUV and will be based on Citron’s common modular platform. The car will be powered by a 110 horsepower 1.2L 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine and will offer both manual and automatic transmissions. An electric version is also expected to launch in 2025.
Maruti Swift Dzire
The next-gen Maruti Swift Dzire will launch in 2024 and will be the sedan iteration of the Swift hatchback. It will feature similar styling to the hatchback, with added chrome and different wheels to give it a unique identity. The interior will have lighter colors to differentiate it from the hatchback. The new Dzire will be spacious and will be powered by Suzuki’s new 1.2L petrol engine, available with a 5-speed manual and AMT gearbox.
Mercedes E-Class
The next-gen Mercedes E-Class will be available in long wheelbase form in India. The car will have a stately air and will offer even more space than its predecessor. The range will include 4-cylinder 2L petrol and diesel engines with mild hybrid tech, as well as a 6-cylinder diesel engine. All versions will come with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Porsche Panamera
The third-generation Porsche Panamera will be available for order in India in early 2024. It will feature a sleeker look, a screen-rich dash layout, and more features. The car will be available with V6 and V8 engines, with the range-topping model offering over 650 horsepower and a 0 to 100 kph time of just 3 seconds.
Skoda Superb
The Skoda Superb will make a comeback in fully imported limited run form. It will feature an updated 190 horsepower 2L TSI turbo petrol engine with a 7-speed DSG gearbox. The car will come with advanced driver assistance systems, a 360-degree camera, and adaptive chassis control tech. However, the import route means a significant increase in prices.
Kia Carnival
The new Kia Carnival will be launched in India, offering a unique take on the MPV segment. It will feature a high-riding and rugged design, similar to an SUV. The interior will share many features with the C3 Aircross SUV, and the car will be powered by a 110 horsepower 1.2L 3-cylinder turbo petrol engine. An electric version is also expected to launch in 2024.
We hope you enjoyed this overview of the upcoming hatchbacks, sed
Will make amends by bringing in the very latest version of its big MPV. The updated fourth-gen Carnival has just made its official debut with new L-shaped headlamps and tail lamps that are in line with Kia’s latest styling sheet. Compared to the model that has been on sale in India, the new Carnival is even larger and wider, and the upright look is more SUV-like.
We’ll get the Carnival in multiple seating configurations, with the middle row being the focus on top-spec versions. The range-topping Carnival will get extendable middle-row seats and an entertainment package. Twin sunroofs, digital dials, a large touchscreen, and a full suite of ADAS features are also expected on the India-spec model. Part-trim options will likely be limited to the current 200-horsepower 2.2L diesel engine with an automatic transmission. Expect prices for the fully loaded Carnival to be upwards of ₹40 lakh.
If it’s a luxury MPV you’re looking for, Lexus will have quite the model for you. Call it the LM or Luxury Mover; it’s Lexus’s version of the already well-appointed Toyota Vellfire. It’s a large MPV that’s also big on show value, courtesy of Lexus’s oversized spindle grille. The front section of the cabin is soothing, but it’s the rear section that the LM is all about.
A three-row, 7-seat configuration will be standard, but for the full effect, you need to opt for the four-seat option. The rear seats are no less than lounge chairs and get all manners of comfort features, including ventilation, heating, and massage. And you get the big-screen experience with a 48-inch display above, which sits a dim partition to the driver’s area. Also packaged in at the back is a fridge.
India will get the MPV with a 250-horsepower 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol-electric hybrid powertrain. Expect the LM to go on sale in India by the end of 2023, with prices upwards of ₹1.6 crore.
