The Indian auto industry is getting ready to launch a tonne of new models in 2024. Here, they go into more detail about four upcoming releases from well-known companies including Mahindra, Kia, Nissan, and Mercedes-Benz:
- Nissan X-Trail:
It is quite probable that Nissan India will launch the X-Trail in August with a 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine rather than the ePower technology. The SUV received a major update globally in the middle of 2022, and local roads have seen it numerous times since. It will be sold in small quantities after being imported into the nation through the Completely Built-Up (CBU) approach.
- New-Gen Kia Carnival:
Unveiled for the first time, the fourth-generation Carnival is scheduled to make its Indian debut in the coming months. This new vehicle will probably come in seven- and nine-seater variants, marking a substantial divergence from its predecessor. With a tech-rich cabin and contemporary comfort, safety, and convenience features, it is positioned to compete with the Innova Hycross’s highest-spec models.
- Mahindra 5-Door Model:
August 15, 2024, will see the release of the five-door Mahindra Thar, which will have larger dimensions than the current three-door variant. It will be offered in a variety of configurations and powered by three different engines: a 2.0L gasoline engine, a 2.2L diesel engine, and a 1.5L diesel engine. Manual and automatic transmission choices are available. Minor changes will be made to the appearance, but the interior will see major improvements, such as a larger touchscreen display, a digital console, ADAS, a 360-degree camera, and other features.
- Mercedes-Benz EQA:
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQA will go on sale on July 8 and become the fourth model in the brand’s EQ family, joining the EQE, EQS, and EQB. Early last year, the EQA, which faces competition from cars like as the BMW iX1 and Volvo XC40 Recharge domestically, got a noteworthy update for global markets.
When using a 70.5 kWh battery pack, the electric crossover’s EQA 250+ trim level has a WLTP-rated range of 560 km. Variants with a marginally smaller 66.5 kWh battery unit are available for international markets, such as the EQA 250, EQA 300 4Matic, and EQA 350 4Matic.
