Okay, let’s be real—if you’re anything like me, you probably spend way too much time browsing car news, ogling spy shots, and drooling over teaser trailers. And why not? The Indian auto scene is buzzing right now, with some seriously mouth-watering cars just around the corner.
So if your current ride is starting to feel a little too “meh,” or if you’re just curious (read: obsessively stalking updates), here’s a list of upcoming cars in India that’ll make you wanna start saving or maybe just sell a kidney. (Kidding. Mostly.)
Let’s jump right into the most exciting cars hitting Indian roads soon—I promise, this isn’t your boring old car roundup.
Tata Curvv – The Coupe SUV We Didn’t Know We Needed
You know how people used to say Tata only made “safe but boring” cars? Well, Curvv is here to shut everyone up.
Why it’s cool:
- Futuristic Coupe-SUV styling (finally, a Tata that looks ready for a sci-fi movie)
- Will come in both EV and ICE variants (Electric and petrol/diesel, FYI)
- Expected range of over 500 km for the EV version—hell yes!
- Loaded with features like a massive touchscreen, sunroof, and probably Tata’s usual obsession with safety
Personal take: I saw this concept at Auto Expo, and yeah, it made me whisper a soft “damn” under my breath. It’s sleek, sporty, and finally brings some flair to Tata’s lineup.
Expected Launch: Mid-2025
Price: ₹11–20 lakh (approx)
Maruti Suzuki eVX – The Electric Wagon That Means Business
Maruti’s hopping on the EV bandwagon, and let’s be honest—it’s about time.
What’s the hype about?
- Built from the ground up as an EV-first platform (not a petrol car with batteries stuffed in)
- Will probably have 400–500 km range on a single charge
- Sleek, SUV-inspired design that’s way more modern than, well, 80% of their current line-up
IMO, if Maruti nails the pricing (they usually do), this could be the EV for the masses.
Expected Launch: Late 2025
Price: ₹20–25 lakh
Hyundai Creta EV – Because Why Should Petrol Have All the Fun?
Hyundai knows how to build cars people love. Period. So turning their best-selling Creta into an electric vehicle? That’s just a flex.
What to expect:
- Same bold styling as the new-gen Creta (yes, it looks like a baby Tucson)
- Expected to borrow tech from the Kona EV or the Ioniq 5, but more budget-friendly
- Hyundai’s usual mix of smart features, top-notch interiors, and buttery-smooth drive
Expected Launch: Early 2025
Price: ₹20–23 lakh
Rhetorical question time: Who wouldn’t want a Creta that never visits a petrol pump again?
Mahindra BE.05 – The Future Is Beautiful
Mahindra’s diving headfirst into the EV scene with its Born Electric (BE) series, and BE.05 is the showstopper.
Hot stuff alert:
- Sharp, angular design that gives major concept-car vibes
- Might get Level 2 ADAS, multiple screens, and even AR-based HUD
- Built on Mahindra’s new INGLO platform (aka: super modern, super modular)
My take? If it looks anything like the prototype, we’re talking sci-fi car meets muscle SUV. Plus, Mahindra’s really improved in terms of interior quality—no more hard plastics from the ’90s.
Expected Launch: Late 2025
Price: ₹22–28 lakh
Honda Elevate Hybrid – Better Late Than Never?
Honda, the silent giant, finally seems ready to plug into the hybrid hype. Enter: Elevate Hybrid—the version of their compact SUV that we actually wanted from day one.
What makes it worth watching:
- Shares tech with the City Hybrid (which is surprisingly good, BTW)
- Smooth as butter driving experience and crazy fuel efficiency (upwards of 25 km/l)
- Honda reliability + hybrid tech = peace of mind (and fewer visits to the fuel station)
Expected Launch: Early 2025
Price: ₹17–20 lakh
Quick thought: Wouldn’t it be fun if Honda suddenly started throwing out EVs like candy? But hey, baby steps.
Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor CNG – Because Why Not Save Some Cash?
Okay, hear me out. Not every car has to be all-electric and futuristic. Some of us just want low running costs and decent style. Toyota gets that.
Why this makes the list:
- Based on the Fronx but with Toyota’s twist (read: more reliable service network)
- Factory-fitted CNG option = clean fuel, fewer emissions, and huge savings
- Expected to come with both 1.2L petrol and CNG combo
Perfect for: City commuters who don’t care about drag races but do care about saving on fuel bills.
Expected Launch: Late 2024
Price: ₹8–10 lakh
Real talk: Not every ride needs to break necks. Sometimes, it just needs to be smart.
Kia Sonet Facelift Diesel-Auto Combo – The Combo We Begged For
Everyone and their neighbor loves the Sonet. And now, Kia is finally bringing back the Diesel + Auto combo that vanished quicker than my paycheck after payday.
Why you should care:
- 1.5L diesel + 6-speed torque converter = smooth, torquey, and so fun to drive
- Updated design with more bling, better tech, and snazzier interiors
- Still compact enough for the city, but premium enough to feel rich
Expected Launch: Coming any day now
Price: ₹12–14 lakh
And yeah, this combo is a dream for folks who hate traffic but love long drives. Just don’t blame me if you take the long route home every day.

Personally, I’ve got my eye on the Tata Curvv (because that design 😍) and the Kia Sonet Diesel-Auto (because practicality still matters… sometimes). But hey, what’s your pick?
Still confused? Just remember: buy what suits your vibe, not just the hype.
