Upcoming Cars For India In 2024: Everything You Might Get To See On The Roads Next Year

There are a lot of new cars waiting to be launched in 2024, with most of them being SUVs and a fair share of EVs as well

After an action-packed 2023 for the Indian auto industry, with launches like the facelifted Tata SUVs and the Honda Elevate, 2024 also promises to pack a lot of new launches and unveils. This includes a lot of internal combustion engine (ICE) models along with many electric vehicles (EVs) as well. Here’s a list of all the new cars expected/confirmed to go on sale in 2024 in India:

Maruti

New Maruti Swift

The Maruti Swift is set to get a generational upgrade next year, giving it fresh looks inside and out, along with a new 3-cylinder petrol engine. It will likely come with a bigger 9-inch touchscreen, up to six airbags and even blind spot detection, as seen in recent spy shots of the new Swift test mules.

Expected Price: Rs 6 lakh

Expected Launch: First half of 2024

New Maruti Dzire

Current-gen Dzire shown for representation purposes only

The Maruti Dzire is the sedan version of the Maruti Swift hatchback. With the latter now entering a new generation, the sedan is in for a similar update as well. Expect mechanical and feature revisions to be in line with those of the new Swift, with Dzire-specific design differences at the rear.

Expected Price: Rs 7 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

Maruti S-Presso Facelift

Current S-Presso shown for representation purposes only

With the Maruti S-Presso having been on sale for over four years now, we feel it could be time the carmaker gave it a major makeover next year. Although not much is known about the exact changes, we believe Maruti could give it a slightly redone fascia and some mild tweaks on the inside. The S-Presso facelift should retain the hatchback’s petrol and CNG powertrain options.

Expected Price: Rs 4.5 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

Maruti eVX

It looks like 2024 will also witness the arrival of the first-ever Maruti EV, the eVX. Although originally scheduled to arrive in 2025, the electric SUV’s test mules have already been spotted a few times, suggesting it could be ready for production soon. Maruti will likely offer it with a 60 kWh battery pack having a claimed range of 550 km.

Expected Price: Rs 22 lakh

Toyota

Toyota Taisor

Back in November 2023, we got an update on the Maruti Fronx-based Toyota’s sub-4m crossover SUV, which is likely to be called the Taisor. Like all shared products between the two brands, the Taisor will also get minor styling tweaks over the Fronx in addition to the change of badges all around. That said, there won’t be any alterations in its features and powertrain.

Expected Price: Rs 8 lakh

Expected Launch: March 2024

Hyundai

Hyundai Creta Facelift

Current Hyundai Creta's image used for representation purposes only

Probably the biggest launch for Hyundai next year will be the Creta facelift. The midlife refresh will give it a new look inside and out, while also giving it more features including a 360-degree camera and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The compact SUV will also get the new 160 PS 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine from the 2023 Kia Seltos.

Expected Price: Rs 10.50 lakh

Expected Launch: January 16

Hyundai Alcazar Facelift

The Hyundai Alcazar, often seen as a 3-row Creta, is also set to receive a facelift in 2024. Expect minor cosmetic enhancements inside and out, while carrying on with a similar features set possibly with the inclusion of ADAS. It will retain the existing model’s petrol and diesel powertrains.

Expected Price: Rs 17 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Confirmed

Hyundai Tucson Facelift

While the fourth-gen Hyundai Tucson was launched in India only in 2022, its global-spec version has already received an update in late 2023. The facelifted Tucson gets mild styling tweaks for the exterior and an updated interior (featuring a connected screens setup), while already being a feature-loaded package. When it comes to India, we expect the premium SUV to continue with the current model’s petrol and diesel engine options.

Expected Price: Rs 29.50 lakh

Expected Launch: Second half of 2024

New Hyundai Kona Electric

Back in the first quarter of 2023, the second-generation Hyundai Kona Electric was unveiled, which is significantly bigger (and better in many ways) than the current India-spec model. It sports Hyundai’s latest design philosophy and has a base-level 48.4 kWh battery pack good for a WLTP-rated range of 377 km.

Expected Price: Rs 25 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

New Hyundai Santa Fe

In 2023, Hyundai brought out a new generation of its flagship 3-row SUV, the Santa Fe. It features dual wireless phone charging pads, dual digital displays, and even ADAS. Internationally, it is a petrol-only offering including a 2.5-litre turbo unit and a hybrid powertrain as well. However, the chances of this behemoth coming to our shores is quite slim.

Expected Price: Rs 50 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

Hyundai Ioniq 5 N And/Or Hyundai Ioniq 6

The 2023 Auto Expo saw India get the Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric crossover as a locally assembled offering. But in the middle of the same year, the Korean marque revealed the performance-focussed N version of the Ioniq 5, which comes with an 84 kWh battery pack and a 600 PS electric powertrain.

While a hopped-up performance electric crossover SUV is an uncertain bet, there is also the potential of getting the Ioniq 6, a sedan alternative to the Kia EV6 and Ioniq 5 which was showcased at Auto Expo 2023. Expect it to get the same 72.6 kWh battery pack from the Ioniq 5 to drive the rear wheels, but maybe more claimed range thanks to the sleeker shape.

Expected Price: To Be Announced (Ioniq 5 N), Rs 65 lakh (Ioniq 6)

Expected Launch: To Be Announced (both)

Tata

Tata Punch EV

The plans for an electric Tata Punch have been in place since before the micro-SUV was launched. Now, there have been numerous spy shots of the Tata Punch EV circulating online for a big part of 2023. It will go on sale in 2024 having a new look with the same styling as the refreshed Nexon and also get some additional features. If Tata is to be believed, the Punch EV is said to offer a range of 500 km with two battery pack options.

Expected Price: Rs 12 lakh

Expected Launch: January 2024

Tata Punch Facelift

Current Tata Punch's image used for representation purposes only

Back in 2021, the Tata Punch was introduced as a micro SUV and it managed to carve out a new segment below the Tata Nexon. We believe 2024 could see Tata give the Punch a mild makeover inside and out, along with some feature enhancements including a bigger touchscreen. Mechanically, there shouldn’t be any changes for the micro SUV.

Expected Price: To Be Announced

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

Tata Curvv EV

The Tata Curvv EV is going to be the Indian carmaker’s all-new model line arriving in 2024. The electric compact SUV will be positioned between the Nexon EV and Harrier EV. It will get many of the similar features such as the large touchscreen infotainment unit, touch-based climate control, and ADAS. We expect the Curvv EV to get multiple battery pack options and more performance than the Nexon EV to offer a range of over 500 km.

Expected Price: Rs 20 lakh

Expected Launch: March 2024

Tata Curvv

The Tata Cuvv will be offered with combustion engines too, and will arrive AFTER the EV. It will mark Tata’s entry into the crowded compact SUV segment as an SUV-coupe offering, rivalling the likes of the Hyundai Creta and Maruti Grand Vitara. It should get a similar features set as the Curvv EV, including digital displays and ADAS.

Expected Price: Rs 10.50 lakh

Expected Launch: Mid 2024

Tata Nexon Dark

Tata Nexon's image used for representation purposes only

The Tata Nexon facelift is here but there was no Dark edition introduced at the time of its launch and it is due to come out in 2024. Like before, the Nexon Dark should have black alloy wheels, grille and ‘Dark’ badges while carrying on with similar features and powertrain sets as the variants it is based on.

Expected Price: Rs 11.30 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

Tata Altroz Racer

At the Auto Expo 2023, Tata showcased a spicier version of the Altroz called the Altroz Racer. It had cosmetic tweaks inside and out, while also being equipped with a few new features now offered on the facelifted Nexon. No major mechanical changes are expected over the standard Altroz, apart from the Nexon-sourced 120 PS turbo-petrol engine.

Expected Price: Rs 10 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Confirmed

Tata Harrier EV

The recently launched Tata Harrier facelift will soon have an all-electric version in the form of the Harrier EV. It will carry on with a similar design theme and features set but will have multiple electric powertrain choices, which should be good enough for over 500 km of range. Tata will also provide it with an all-wheel-drive (AWD) option.

Expected Price: Rs 30 lakh

Expected Launch: Late 2024

Mahindra

5-door Mahindra Thar

If there’s one SUV that’s got everyone waiting with the most interest, it’s the 5-door Mahindra Thar. It will have a bigger footprint than the 3-door model while also sporting additional features such as a larger infotainment unit and a sunroof. Expect it to get both petrol and diesel engines with both 4-wheel-drive (4WD) and real-wheel-drive (RWD) options.

Expected Price: Rs 15 lakh

Expected Launch: March 2024

Mahindra XUV300 Facelift

The Mahindra XUV300 is one of the oldest models in the carmaker’s lineup and is set for a big update next year. As part of the changes, the sub-4m SUV will sport new front and rear fascias while also having a new cabin design. Mahindra is expected to offer the new XUV300 with ADAS as well as both petrol and diesel choices.

Expected Price: Rs 9 lakh

Expected Launch: March 2024

Mahindra XUV.e8

Mahindra’s popular midsize SUV, the XUV700, is set to have an all-electric version called the XUV.e8 in 2024. It could get two battery pack options between 60 kWh and 80 kWh, with the choice of a dual-motor all-wheel drivetrain (AWD) as well. The XUV.e8 is expected to offer a range of around 450 km.

Expected Price: Rs 35 lakh

Expected Launch: End of 2024

Mahindra XUV400 Facelift

The facelifted Mahindra XUV400 has been spotted testing, hinting at a probable launch in 2024. It is expected to have the same design changes as on the facelifted XUV300 and a similar features list as well. We expect the XUV400 to offer a higher claimed range but with the same battery pack as the current model.

Expected Price: Rs 16 lakh

Expected Launch: Second half of 2024

Kia

Kia Sonet Facelift

Probably the first launch from Kia India in 2024 will be the Sonet facelift. The updated SUV has already been teased, showing the revised exterior and a couple of new features. It may also offer ADAS, as seen with the Hyundai Venue N Line. The 2024 Sonet will retain the existing Sonet’s powertrain options, with the 6-speed MT likely making a return with the diesel unit.

Expected Price: Rs 8 lakh

Expected Launch: January 2024

New Kia Carnival

The facelifted fourth-gen Kia Carnival has been revealed globally, which we believe could go on sale in 2024 in India.

Skoda

2024 Skoda Kushaq/Slavia

Current Skoda Kushaq and Slavia's images used for representation purposes only

With the Skoda Kushaq and Slavia making their market debuts back in 2021, both could receive a model year update beyond the current crop of special editions with new colours. While the duo could come with small cosmetic changes, no major feature revisions are expected, except probably from the inclusion of ADAS to keep up with their segment rivals. Skoda will make no changes under the hood of the SUV-sedan duo.

Expected Price: To Be Confirmed

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

Skoda Octavia RS iV

Skoda may not be planning to bring back the Octavia to India full-time, but it is open to bringing the sedan’s best version - the latest Octavia RS (based on the fourth-gen model). It will be the first plug-in hybrid Skoda car in India with a 1.4-litre turbo-petrol engine having an EV-only range of 60 km and a peak power rating of 245 PS.

Expected Price: Rs 40 lakh

Expected Launch: April 2024

Skoda Enyaq iV

The Skoda Enyaq iV, which is based on Volkswagen Group’s new MEB platform, could be the first all-electric vehicle from the carmaker in India. Internationally, it is available with a variety of battery packs and motor configurations, including a 77 kWh battery pack rated at 305 PS. The same battery pack will likely be available in India, although with a motor offering less performance in favour of an increased range of around 500 km.

Expected Price: Rs 60 lakh

Expected Launch: February 2024

Volkswagen

2024 Volkswagen Taigun/Virtus

Current VW Virtus and Taigun's image used for reference purporses only

Like their Skoda siblings, the Volkswagen Taigun and Virtus duo could get small model year updates for 2024 as well. The two compact offerings might get minor changes to the face along with some feature revisions, which could include ADAS. No mechanical changes are expected with the update.

Expected Price: To Be Confirmed

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

Volkswagen ID.4 GTX

The Volkswagen ID.4 GTX is mechanically related to the Skoda Enyaq iV. Hence, it also has the same electric powertrain options of which we believe the 77 kWh battery pack (with a claimed range of over 500 km) will be on offer here. However, the GTX is the sporty version of the ID.4 crossover EV and could be positioned as a rival to the Kia EV6.

Expected Price: Rs 50 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

Renault

New Renault Duster

The third-gen Renault Duster, revealed recently, is expectedly heading our way in 2024.The French marque skipped the second-gen model altogether. Now, the third-gen Duster will be the carmaker’s new flagship offering in India and will likely get the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol unit with both front-wheel-drive (FWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) options.

Expected Price: Rs 10 lakh

Expected Launch: Second half of 2024

Renault Triber Turbo

Ever since 2021, there have been reports of Renault introducing a peppier turbo-petrol engine option on the Triber MPV. We believe it could finally happen in 2024, giving the sub-4m crossover MPV the same 100 PS engine from the Kiger SUV with the choice of both MT and CVT. That said, no other changes are expected with the powertrain update.

Expected Price: Rs 9.50 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Confirmed

Nissan

New Nissan X-Trail

The facelifted version of the fourth-gen Nissan X-Trail was unveiled in 2023, and the latest version is expected to head our way in 2024. It will likely be brought via the completely built-up unit (CBU) route and hence will be the flagship Nissan product in India. The SUV has a choice of a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with or without a strong-hybrid powertrain, with both 2WD and AWD options on offer.

Expected Price: Rs 40 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Confirmed

Nissan Magnite Facelift

Current Nissan Magnite's image used for representation purposes only

Nissan’s sole offering in India currently, the Magnite, was launched back in December 2020. Since then, the sub-4m SUV has only received some minor updates but now seems ripe for a significant refresh, which could take place sometime next year. We are expecting the facelifted Magnite to have some tweaks made to its design along with a few extra features. That said, it is unlikely to get any changes in the engine and gearbox departments.

Expected Price: Rs 6.50 lakh

Expected Launch: To Be Announced

Citroen

Citroen C3X

Citroen eC4X's image used for reference purposes only

In 2023, we got to see some spy shots of a new Citroen car being readied for India which looks like a crossover sedan derived from the C3 hatchback. It will be positioned above the C3 Aircross as a premium and stylish model while carrying over with the same 1.2-litre turbo-petrol unit as the compact SUV. We believe it will get a choice of both manual and automatic options.

Expected Price: Rs 10 lakh

Expected Launch: March 2024

Citroen C3X EV

Citroen eC4X's image used for representation purposes only

The C3X crossover sedan will have an electric derivative as well with some design changes over the regular model. Not much is known about it for now but it will surely have a larger battery pack, more powerful electric motor, and a better claimed range figure than the eC3 electric hatchback. It could be positioned as a rival to the Tata Curvv EV.

Expected Price: To Be Announced

Expected Launch: September 2024
