Tata H7X

The seven-seater variant of the Harrier will be another big reveal from Tata at Geneva. The competitive pricing of the five-seater Harrier has given a lot of potential buyers expectations from the H7X. It is expected to go on sale in India by the end of 2019.

SsangYong Korando

Based on the SIV-2 concept, SsangYong will show the Korando in its production guise at Geneva. The Korean carmaker has already revealed images of the mid-size SUV. Why is it important to us? The Korando is expected to come to India badged as the second-generation Mahindra XUV500, possibly next year.

We know the future of Volvo is electric and Polestar is leading the charge, quite literally. It will be showcasing the Polestar 2, which is aimed squarely at the India-bound Tesla Model 3, at Geneva. Volvo themselves has claimed that they intend to take the flight to Tesla with the Polestar 2.

Jeep will be showcasing a new variant of the Compass at Geneva, dubbed Compass S. It sports a two-tone paint job, a pearl white body and black roof. Other changes include 19-inch low gloss granite crystal wheels. It will go on sale in Europe later in the year. However, there is no word if Jeep will bring it to India.
