Honda Elevate


The Elevate will go on sale in the country by next month, and it will be rivalling the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Volkswagen Taigun, Skoda Kushaq, MG Astor and more. The Honda Elevate will retail with a 1.5L NA petrol engine with two transmission choices - 6-speed MT and CVT.



Citroen C3 Aircross


If you are planning to buy a 7-seater SUV, the Citroen C3 Aircross could make sense to you. Based on a modified avatar of the C3’s platform, the C3 Aircross gets bold styling, increased space on the inside, and more importantly a rugged road presence. While it looks good on the outside, it certainly is practical on the inside. However, there will be just one engine choice - 1.2L turbo-petrol, which will be available with just a stick shift for now.



Toyota Rumion


Another 7-seater car on this list is the Toyota Rumion. Recently unveiled in India, the Maruti Suzuki Ertiga-based MPV will be launched in the country by next month. It sports certain changes on the visual front. The radiator grille is new with a revised bumper, and the alloy wheels also sport a fresh design. Things remain unchanged on the inside, except for the Toyota logo. Moreover, the Rumion will get connected car features like other Toyota offerings.

The Tata Punch EV will be powered by the Ziptron technology with an electric motor housed under the bonnet, while the battery pack will sit under the floor. The Punch EV will launch by the end of this year with an expected range of 350 kms.


Tata Nexon Facelift


The buzz around this product is very high. Recently snapped during the advertorial shoot, the Nexon facelift is ready to go on sale in the Indian market. While it was initially expected to hit the market by the end of this year, new pictures hint that the homegrown brand will launch it by the festive season itself.
