These 3 Cars Are Set To Go On Sale In January 2024

There are just three models on this list, all facelifted SUVs but belonging to different segments

Even though 2023 was a hectic year full of new cars entering the market, the auto industry is not looking to slow down in 2024, right from January itself. The first month of 2024 is set to bring as many as three new launches (all facelifted SUVs) and will probably also see the unveiling of an electric micro SUV. Here are all the details:

Mercedes-Benz GLS Facelift

Launch On: January 8

Expected Price: Rs 1.35 crore

Back in early 2023, the refreshed Mercedes-Benz GLS was revealed alongside the updated Maybach GLS 600. With the update, the GLS got a more sober design on the outside while the cabin is mostly unchanged, with the exception of a few new features such as an air purifier and the rear entertainment screens. In terms of powertrain choices, the GLS facelift will offer increased performance, from the existing set of petrol and diesel engines.

Hyundai Creta Facelift

Launch On: January 16

Expected Price: Rs 11 lakh

In 2024, Hyundai will begin its 2024 onslaught with the facelifted Creta, giving the current-generation its first midlife update. Expect to see an updated exterior and interior design alongside new features, including a 360-degree camera, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Hyundai will also be adding the new 160 PS 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, same as the Hyundai Verna's, to the Creta's powertrain mix.

The refreshed Kia Sonet subcompact SUV has already been unveiled in December 2023 revealing all details besides the price. The facelifted Sonet comes with bolder styling, subtle cabin updates, and a host of new features, including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), thereby improving its overall package.
