Over the next two years, a number of new models will enter the 7-seater SUV and MPV markets. Below, we’ve discussed the cars that are anticipated to debut in India in the latter part of 2024:
New-Gen Skoda Kodiaq
Later this year, the second-generation Skoda Kodiaq is expected to make its market debut in India. This all-new model, which is based on the MQB Evo platform, is more sophisticated than its predecessor and has significant design and feature upgrades. It’s possible that the current 2.0L turbocharged petrol engine, which generates 190 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque, will remain available in the Indian market.
Toyota Fortuner Mild Hybrid
The GD series engine will cooperate with a 48-volt mild hybrid system in the upcoming mild-hybrid Fortuner. The dual goals of this integration are emission reduction and improved fuel efficiency and performance. Later this year, it is anticipated to launch on the Indian market. The mild-hybrid Hilux, which is now available in Europe, is expected to enter new countries, though it is yet unclear if India will be part of the launch schedule.
Hyundai Alcazar facelift
Hyundai‘s work on the Creta facelift comes as no surprise, so how can the Alcazar stay behind? The Alcazar facelift test mule was recently observed conducting tests. With a new grille and DRL design, we can anticipate certain design changes. Its new appearance might give it a frightening front. A new floating infotainment system, heads-up display, memory function for the driver’s seat, and other features were visible inside. ADAS was also seen in the Alcazar makeover.
Nissan X-Trail
In 2024, Nissan will finally release the X-Trail following a protracted delay. Although X-Trail’s launch has been greatly postponed, India may finally see it in 2024. Nissan will introduce the 7-seater model to India; the 5-seater variant was the one on display in India. It has a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, driving modes, ADAS, a panoramic sunroof, and other features. Three distinct hybrid configurations are available for the single 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine under the hood.
MG Gloster Facelift
MG Motor is set to introduce the redesigned Gloster, which has been observed undergoing testing several times, in India by the end of this year. The appearance of the revamped model will include new bumpers, a redesigned grille portion, updated headlamps, and fog lamps, among other changes. Not only that, but the full-size SUV will have new alloy wheels and revised tail lamps. It is anticipated that the 2.0L turbodiesel engine and eight-speed automated transmission would stay the same.
