New SUV Launch in India 2023

Without a doubt, the most well-liked form factor is the SUV, not only in India but also internationally. The fact that SUVs are popular in India is due to their excellent driving positions and usefulness. They are an excellent option for city and long-distance use because of their ground clearance, which is useful given the imperfect roads we have.

BMW X1

The new X1 features thin headlights with L-shaped LED Daytime Running Lamps surrounded by massive, chrome-heavy kidney grilles. It has flush door handles and larger wheel arches in the profile.

The X1’s interior is equipped with a 10.7-inch touchscreen entertainment system that utilises BMW’s brand-new iDrive 8 operating system, and the driver receives a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster. The X1 has a somewhat larger cabin than its predecessor thanks to a wheelbase that is 22 millimetres longer and a track that is 31 millimetres wider. According to claims, the new seats provide improved long-distance comfort. Expected to be launched in early 2023.

Hond ZRV Midsize SUV

Honda is getting into the SUV business and is getting ready to introduce a mid-sized SUV to compete with the Hyundai Creta. According to rumours, Honda’s upcoming SUV will have a huge trunk and measure 4.2 metres long. The new SUV will be without a diesel engine but is anticipated to come with a 1.5-litre NA petrol and a 1.5-litre hybrid. It will be fascinating to see what Honda brings to the table, even though other aspects are yet unknown. The SUV is predicted to cost between 16 and 18 lakhs and can be delivered by the middle of 2023.

Hyundai Creta Facelift

Speaking of SUVs, the Hyundai Creta is also getting a mid-life facelift that will add new features to the cabin and make significant exterior visual modifications. Hyundai’s new parametric grille and new edge-to-edge LED DRLs are anticipated for the SUV. The installation of ADAS features and a new digital cluster are two examples of interior improvements. It’s anticipated that the powertrain won’t change. The updated Creta could go on sale in mid-2023 and have a price range of 11 to 19 lakh.

Kia Seltos Facelift

Maruti Suzuki YTB

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno Cross SUV coupe, codenamed YTB, might be the next big thing. The Baleno Cross, which is scheduled to debut at the Auto Expo 2023, might go on sale as early as the first quarter of 2023. The HEARTECT platform, which supports the conventional Baleno, will serve as the basis for the new cross. The SUV-Coupe may also feature the 1.2 litre/1.5-litre Dual Jet engine with Mild Hybrid technology in addition to the 1.0-litre Booster Jet petrol engine, which is likely to be paired with either a CVT automatic or manual transmission.

Tata Safari

The Safari will apparently receive a mid-life update as well, which will reportedly include updated interiors and exteriors as well as a number of high-end features that are currently lacking. The Safari will also come standard with ADAS capabilities like lane keep assist, automated emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, etc., similar to the Harrier. A new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine is also anticipated for the Safari, with both manual and automatic transmission options.

MG Hector Facelift

The MG Hector facelift, which is scheduled to go on sale in early 2023, will also include new headlamps, a bumper, alloy wheels, and a diamond-mesh grill that takes its design cues from the Argyle. The new 14-inch touch infotainment system will be the largest addition to the Hector Facelift, along with other features like horizontal AC vents and a revamped centre console. ADAS is also anticipated to be available. However, there won’t be any mechanical changes, and the SUV will still be available with two 1.5-litre petrol engines, one of which is somewhat hybrid, and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine.

Maruti Suzuki Jimny

The 5-door Maruti Jimny has been making the rounds in the news for a while now. While testing of the international model has already begun in Europe, the Indian-specific model may debut at the Auto Expo in 2023 and be introduced in August of that same year. The 2023 Maruti Jimny will be longer and ride on a wheelbase that is 300mm longer than the current generation. The SUV’s 1.5-litre K15 C Dual Jet Petrol engine produces 103 horsepower and 137 pound-feet of torque. It is coupled to either a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission or a traditional 5-speed manual transmission.
