These 4 SUVs Are Coming Our Way This Festive Season

SUVs in India are booming and new models keep coming every now and then, and this festive season is no exception. In September and October, four SUVs are slated to be launched in India, one of which is a new variant, one is a facelift, and two are completely new models making their debut in India. Let’s start with the most expensive, and head down to the most affordable.

Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV

The most expensive and luxurious SUV coming this festive season is the Mercedes-Maybach EQS 680 SUV. This will be the first all-electric Mayback from the German carmaker, and it will come with all the bells and whistles you expect from a Maybach. 

The design will be similar to the EQS SUV, but it will get the signature Maybach dual-tone finish, Maybach badging on all corners, and Maybach-styled alloy wheels. Inside, it will feature a luxurious cabin with features like a 56-inch MBUX hyperscreen, all four ventilated and heated seats with massage function, two sunroofs, and a 15-speaker Burmister sound system.

It will pack a 107.8 kWh battery pack with a dual-motor setup that churns out 658 PS and 950 Nm, and will offer a claimed range of over 600 km.

Kia EV9

The other brand new model will be the Kia EV9, which has been launched in the International markets, and will make its way to India in early October, most likely as a CBU (completely built-up unit) import. The full-size electric SUV gets a modern design with sleek lighting elements and flat profiles.

In the international market, it gets two battery pack options: 76.1 kWh and 99.8 kWh, and gets both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and all-wheel-drive (AWD) setups. The Kia EV9 has a WLTP-claimed range of up to 541 km, but it is still not sure which battery pack Kia will offer in India.

Hyundai Alcazar Facelift

The facelifted Hyundai Alcazar has been revealed by the Korean brand and it will be launched soon. Its exterior has borrowed styling elements from the new Creta, and the interior looks exactly the same as the smaller SUV, just in a different colour scheme.

It will come with the same engine options as before: a 1.5-litre litre turbo-petrol (160 PS and 253 Nm) and a 1.5-litre diesel (116 PS and 250 Nm), but it will get a whole lot of new features like dual-10.25-inch screens, ventilated 2nd row seats (6-seater variant), dual-zone climate control, and Level-2 ADAS.

Tata Nexon CNG

Lastly, Tata Nexon’s huge variant list is about to become even longer with the introduction of CNG variants. It will be the first car in the market to get a factory-fitted CNG kit with a turbo-petrol engine (1.2-litre unit), and is expected to get a choice of both manual and automatic transmissions.

Using Tata’s twin-cylinder technology, it will get a boot space of 230-litres, and will likely be based on the SUV’s mid-spec variants. The Nexon CNG is expected to carry a premium of around Rs 1 lakh over corresponding variants.
