Hyundai Venue
The all-new Venue is a crucial launch for Hyundai as the carmaker has brought out an all-new model which brings in a different interior plus more technology. The new Venue crucially has a longer wheelbase for more space and has a more premium cabin design too. Engines have remained the same but the diesel gains an automatic gearbox option. There is also a sportier NLine version which has a different aggressive design plus gets a louder exhaust. The Venue is now more of a high-end sub4m SUV with features not seen on a class of this car.


Tata Sierra

The all-new Sierra comes late towards the end of the year but is one of the most eagerly awaited new cars around since it brings back a famous brand. The new Sierra is a five-door model unlike the 3-door which was the original 90s car. The new Sierra though maintains the classic butch stance with high ground clearance as well as a boxy look. The new car though is a compact SUV but the features inside are from a more premium car including not one but three screens. The new Sierra will also debut a new engine series as Tata pulls out all the stops for this new product.


Maruti Suzuki Victoris

The Victoris is the new SUV which again adds to the Maruti Suzuki stable with being a compact SUV offering. The new Victoris though brings in more features for a Maruti Suzuki with its new look dashboard plus the new digital cluster along with the addition of features like ADAS. Buyers can have the option of either AWD or a strong hybrid plus a CNG option. The Victoris is sold via the Arena dealerships and is a big change for the Maruti Suzuki brand particularly the new look along with the more premium interiors.


Mahindra XEV 9e and BE6

The born electric twins from Mahindra have set the stage on fire with their edgy design as well as the performance. The BE6 looks radical and looks like a concept car for the road with its aircraft style interior plus features seen on much more expensive cars. The larger XEV 9e is plusher and adds more space plus having an extra screen for the passenger seat to access various entertainment functions. Both are born electric cars which brings further benefits like a frunk storage space.


Vinfast VF6 and VF7

T
he all-new Vietnamese brand came to India this year and brought in its two cars for the Indian market which includes the VF6 and the VF7. Both are born electric SUVs but the differentiating factor is the design as well as the interior quality along with the space on offer. The pricing is also quite aggressive plus with various benefits thrown in which further makes them value for money cars with a lot of technology as well. Vinfast will only sell EVs in India as the carmaker does not make any combustion engine cars with its green vision with more new products in the pipeline.
