India’s SUV market is gearing up for a thrilling lineup of new launches in the coming months. From futuristic electric SUVs to powerful petrol and diesel options, major carmakers like Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Hyundai, and Nissan are ready to make 2025 an exciting year for SUV lovers.
Here’s a look at the top 5 upcoming SUVs that are expected to dominate Indian roads soon—featuring EV innovation, bold design updates, and cutting-edge technology.
1. Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara—The Brand’s First All-Electric SUV
Maruti Suzuki is finally stepping into the electric vehicle market with its highly anticipated e-Vitara. First showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo, this EV has generated tremendous buzz as Maruti’s first all-electric SUV.
Built on a dedicated EV platform co-developed with Toyota, the e-Vitara is expected to offer an impressive driving range of up to 500 km on a single charge. It will come equipped with dual digital screens, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), and a premium interior layout that blends comfort with technology.
The e-Vitara is likely to be available in front-wheel and all-wheel-drive configurations, offering both efficiency and performance. Expected to launch in December 2025, pricing could range between ₹17 lakh and ₹22 lakh (ex-showroom).
2. Tata Sierra EV – The Icon Returns in Electric Form
One of India’s most nostalgic names is set to make a comeback — the Tata Sierra, now reborn as a stylish electric SUV. Based on Tata’s Gen 2 EV architecture, the Sierra EV promises over 500 km of driving range and fast-charging capability.
The design will stay true to the iconic Sierra’s original shape but with futuristic elements — including a panoramic glass roof, connected car technology, and minimalist interiors.
It will also feature ADAS, vehicle-to-load charging, and next-gen connectivity features. Launching in November–December 2025, the Sierra EV is expected to combine retro charm with modern innovation, making it one of the most anticipated cars of the year.
3. Tata Sierra (ICE Version) – Classic Power, Modern Performance
Alongside the electric version, Tata will also launch a petrol and diesel variant of the Sierra. The ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) model will share design similarities with the Sierra EV but will be powered by Tata’s new 1.5-liter turbo-petrol and 2.0-liter diesel engines.
Transmission options will include both manual and automatic gearboxes. It will feature a premium cabin, LED lighting, and Level 2 ADAS for safety and convenience.
Expected to launch in early 2026, the Sierra ICE could start from ₹10.5 lakh (ex-showroom), offering a more accessible alternative to the EV version while maintaining the same bold design DNA.
4. Hyundai Venue Facelift – Launching November 4
Hyundai is preparing a major refresh for one of its best-selling compact SUVs — the Venue. The 2025 Hyundai Venue Facelift will debut on November 4, 2025, bringing a bolder look and several feature upgrades.
The new design will take inspiration from Hyundai’s global SUV family, featuring a larger front grille, connected LED tail lamps, and new alloy wheels. Inside, expect a dual-screen setup, upgraded infotainment system, and enhanced connected car features.
On the safety front, the Venue facelift will include Level 2 ADAS, ventilated seats, and a panoramic sunroof. Engine options will remain the same—1.2-liter petrol, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, and 1.5-litre diesel — paired with both manual and automatic transmissions.
5. Nissan Tekton—A Bold New SUV from Nissan
Nissan is finally making a comeback in the mid-size SUV space with its all-new Tekton. Positioned above the Magnite, the Tekton will compete with the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and Maruti Grand Vitara.
Inspired by Nissan’s global design language, including cues from the Patrol SUV, the Tekton will feature muscular styling, premium interiors, and advanced technology. Expect a large touchscreen, ADAS, a panoramic sunroof, and connected car tech.
The Tekton will be locally produced in India, helping Nissan price it competitively between ₹12 lakh and ₹18 lakh. Launch is expected between January and March 2026.
The Road Ahead
From the Maruti e-Vitara’s electric innovation to the return of the Tata Sierra and the revamped Hyundai Venue, the Indian SUV market is about to see one of its most diverse lineups yet.
These upcoming SUVs promise a mix of power, technology, and design, catering to every type of buyer — from eco-conscious EV lovers to those who prefer petrol and diesel power.
With brands like Maruti, Tata, Hyundai, and Nissan all stepping up their game, 2025-26 is shaping up to be an exciting time for SUV buyers in India.
