All The Sub-Rs 20 Lakh SUVs Coming Your Way In 2024

The last few years have seen carmakers bring out a large number of SUVs in India and 2024 seems no different

Customers in India are increasingly preferring SUVs when it comes to buying a new car. With the rising SUV requirements and desires of consumers, automakers are coming out with new models in different SUV segments. Here’s a list of sub-Rs 20 lakh SUVs expected to be launched in 2024.

Toyota Taisor

Just last month, we reported that Toyota is  bringing the Taisor to India. The sub-4m SUV is based on the Maruti Suzuki Fronx crossover SUV. Like the other shared products, we can expect subtle design changes and Toyota badges. Toyota will not be introducing new features or updating the powertrain options over the donor vehicle.

Expected Price: Rs 8 lakh

Expected Launch: March 2024

Hyundai Creta Facelift 

The Hyundai Creta facelift will be one of the most important launches for the carmaker in 2024. Hyundai will likely equip it with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and a 360-degree camera, along with some styling updates inside and out. The SUV is set to get the 160 PS 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine from the Kia Seltos, while retaining the 1.5-litre N.A. petrol and diesel engines from the outgoing model.

Expected Price: Rs 10.50 lakh

Expected Launch: January 16

Hyundai Alcazar Facelift

 The Alcazar is a 3-row derivative of the Creta. Hence, the SUV will get similar feature updates like the new Creta facelift, including ADAS. There are no changes expected mechanically and it will retain the same set of powertrain options.

Expected Price: Rs 17 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Confirmed

Tata Punch Facelift / EV

The Tata Punch slots below the Nexon in the carmaker’s SUV lineup and has been on sale since 2021. Tata recently introduced the CNG variants of the micro SUV and is soon expected to launch the all-electric version as well. As such, 2024 could see the micro SUV get a slight makeover and some new features on the inside. That said, there will be no mechanical updates to the car. 

Expected Price: To Be Announced, Rs 12 lakh (Punch EV)

Expected Launch: To Be Announced, January 2024 (Punch EV)

Tata Curvv

Back when Tata showcased the Curvv Concept, it was said that it will also be available with an internal combustion engine (ICE). Now, Tata could launch the Curvv ICE soon after the debut of the EV version in early 2024. The Curvv will stand out in the segment thanks to its coupe-like styling. It will compete with the likes of the Hyundai Creta and Maruti Grand Vitara and its features set could include ADAS tech and digital displays on the inside. 

Expected Price: Rs 10.50 lakh

Expected Launch: Mid 2024

Tata Nexon Dark

When the Nexon got a comprehensive update in the second half of 2023, there was no word on the Dark Edition. That said, we do believe that Tata is planning to introduce the Nexon Dark in 2024. Like other Dark Editions, the Nexon too will get an all-black treatment including the alloys and grille, along with Dark badges all over. Engine options aren’t likely to be tinkered with.

Expected Price: Rs 11.30 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

Mahindra Thar 5-door 

The Mahindra Thar 5-door is perhaps one of the most anticipated SUVs of 2024. Like the 3-door model, we can expect the bigger Thar to get both petrol and diesel engine options with manual or automatic transmissions. Key new features will include a larger infotainment display and even a sunroof. Mahindra is expected to offer the SUV with both 4-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive options.

Expected Price: Rs 15 lakh

Expected Launch: March 2024

Mahindra XUV300 Facelift

The Mahindra XUV300 is due for a refresh. The sub-4m SUV has been on sale for a while now and is currently amongst the oldest models in the carmaker’s portfolio. Mahindra is expected to update both the front and rear looks, incorporate a new cabin design, and possibly introduce ADAS tech as well. No changes are expected under the hood, though.

Expected Price: Rs 9 lakh

Expected Launch: March 2024

Mahindra XUV400 Facelift

We have spotted the new Mahindra XUV400 on test multiple times now. This points towards an imminent launch sometime in 2024. Like the XUV300, the all-electric XUV400 too will get similar design changes and features. That said, the SUV will not get any major changes in its electric powertrain, thoughMahindra might offer it with more range while carrying on with the same battery pack.  

Expected Price: Rs 16 lakh

Expected Launch: Second half of 2024

Kia Sonet Facelift

Kia is expected to start the new year with the launch of the Sonet facelift. The Korean marque has already released a couple of teasers of the updated sub-4m SUV, which will get new exteriors and features including ADAS. For the 2024 Sonet, Kia will continue with the existing engine and transmission options, with one small revision. 

Expected Price: Rs 8 lakh

Expected Launch: January 2024

2024 Skoda Kushaq

Skoda launched the Kushaq back in 2021. Since then, the Czech carmaker has been quite regular in bringing in new variants and editions. However, with competitors upping their game, Skoda too might launch an updated version of the Kushaq which might give it some subtle styling changes and feature revisions (possibly ADAS). The SUV will continue with a choice of 1-litre or 1.5-litre TSI petrol engines. 

Expected Price: To Be Confirmed

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

2024 Volkswagen Taigun

Like its Skoda-badged sibling (the Kushaq), the Taigun, too, is due for an update in 2024. It has been 3 years since its launch, and competitors are now offering more features and tech. One possibility is the inclusion of ADAS features on the new version of the Taigun. Apart from this, there could be some exterior design updates while continuing with the same 1-litre and 1.5-litre turbo petrol powertrains.

Expected Price: To Be Confirmed

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

New Renault Duster

The Renault Duster carved out a new segment in India back when it was launched more than a decade ago. However, the French carmaker skipped launching the second-gen model in India. Now it is said that the third-gen Duster will be the carmaker’s new flagship offering for India once it goes on sale in 2024. It could come with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol motor with both front-wheel-drive (FWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) configurations.

Expected Price: Rs 10 lakh

Expected Launch: Second half of 2024

Nissan Magnite Facelift

The Magnite has been on sale in India since December 2020. Now, the subcompact SUV is due for a much-needed upgrade, which could come in the form of a midlife refresh. Expect new exterior design tweaks and new features on the inside. However, changes under the hood are not likely to be made.

Expected Price: Rs 6.50 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Announced
