It will also receive a completely overhauled design, new features and a self-charging strong hybrid powertrain.
3. MG Hector Facelift

Hyundai’s highly anticipated IONIQ 5 electric SUV will likely make its India debut next month, with deliveries expected to commence in early 2023. Measuring 4,635mm long, the IONIQ 5 will be based on the Hyundai Group’s Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) and will emphasise the brand’s ‘Parametric Dynamics’ and luxurious ‘Living Space’ theme. Expect it to come in with two battery packs: 58kWh and 72.6kWh, with ranges of 384km and 481km, respectively.
5. Pravaig SUV
The Bengaluru-based start-up company, Pravaig, has already announced to reveal an electric SUV on November 25 that will have a range above 500km and a top speed of over 200kmph.
6. Force Gurkha 5-door
Revealed by recent spy images, the 5-door iteration of the Force Gurkha has started reaching dealerships, suggesting its launch is just around the corner. Compared to the ongoing model, the 5-door Gurkha will possess a longer wheelbase and three rows of seating with multiple layouts. However, no changes are expected underneath the bonnet.
7. Maruti Alto K10 CNG
CNG variants of the Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 are scheduled to go on sale soon, probably in November or December 2022. Similar to the recently updated S-Presso CNG, the Alto K10 will get the same 56.69PS/82.1Nm 1.0-litre DualJet petrol engine, paired with a factory-fitted CNG kit that claims a fuel efficiency of 32.73km/kg. Expect Alto K10 CNG variants to command a premium of around Rs 95,000 over their corresponding petrol-only trims.
8. Maruti Brezza CNG
Currently, the sub-4-meter SUV segment doesn’t have any CNG offerings in the Indian market. However, Maruti Suzuki is working on a CNG counterpart of the Brezza, and it could hit the markets in the coming weeks.
