Top 5 cars coming to India in 2024 Mahindra XUV 3X0 to Hyundai Alcazar: If you’re in the market for a new vehicle and aren’t in a rush, it might be wise to wait for the upcoming models below. The top five cars, ranging from hatchbacks to SUVs, promise to be worth the wait.
1- Force Gurkha
The no-nonsense force Gurkha is also popularly called the desi G-Wagon. No doubt, the Gurkha is happiest when driven in the most challenging terrains like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, but there is more to it than meets the eye. The 4×4 vehicle will continue to be powered by a 2.6-litre diesel engine from Mercedes-Benz. It continues to be mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, with no information on an automatic option.
According to reports, engine start-stop feature can be given in 2025 Gurkha. The Gurkha will be available in two versions – 3-door and now for the first time, 5-door. Based on the teaser released by the company, the Gurkha features an all-new larger touch screen and an all-digital instrument cluster. The 5-door Gurkha will have three-row seating. Force has updated the Gurkha with a shift-on-fly 4WD system.
2- Mahindra XUV 3X0
Mahindra is finally going to introduce the next-generation Mahindra XUV 3X0, which has now been rebranded as the 3X0. Why the change in name? No one is sure about it except the intelligent people at Mahindra. Based on the social media post shared by the automobile manufacturer, the Mahindra XUV 3X0 claims to have the first dual-pane panoramic sunroof in its segment. In terms of safety, the new Mahindra SUV is expected to be equipped with ADAS suite.
There will be further changes to the interior and many parts will be taken from the recently updated XUV400, like twin 10.25-inch panels for the infotainment system and front ventilated seats with digital driver console and 360-degree camera. The exterior has been completely redesigned and based on the teaser, it looks space age with a new front fascia and a connected LED tail lamp. The SUV will retain three engine options – 1.2-litre petrol naturally aspirated, 1.2-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel.
3- Maruti Suzuki Swift
A lot has been written about the new generation Maruti Suzuki Swift. The popular hatchback made its international debut at the Tokyo Mobility Show last year. The design language of the Swift remains the same, but it now gets a larger and aggressive front grille with new headlamps and revised front and rear bumpers. In the interior, many features like new 9 inch touch screen, cabin design and steering wheel will be taken from the front.
The new Swift will get a completely new engine under the hood. The Z Series 1.2-litre 3-cylinder engine will replace the tried-and-true 1.2-litre 4-cylinder engine. The new powertrain is expected to be available with a 5-speed manual transmission and AMT.
4- Tata Altroz Racer
Even since Tata showcased the Altroz Racer at the 2023 Auto Expo and most recently at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in January this year, the hatch has attracted a lot of attention. Tata Motors is going to launch this sporty hatchback soon. It will be available in dual-tone paint scheme and will have racing stripes on the bonnet.
It is expected to come with features like 16-inch alloy wheels, front ventilated seats with heating features, 360-degree camera, voice-operated sunroof and a 10.25-inch infotainment system. To make things more interesting, the race will be powered by a 1.2-litre turbo petrol with an output of 118bhp and 170 Nm of torque. At present, Tata Motors has revealed that it will be offered only with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
5- Hyundai Alcazar
The 2024 Alcazar has been largely under the radar, but it will be receiving some very significant updates. The design updates will be in line with the 2024 Creta and the same is expected for the cabin. It will have panoramic sunroof, front ventilated seats, twin 10.25-inch screen and the most important feature is ADAS technology.
The SUV will retain the 1.5-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel powertrains. The first produces 158bhp while the second produces 114bhp. Both are available with 6-speed manuals and automatics, the Turbo version gets a 7-speed dual-clutch while the diesel is equipped with a 6-speed torque converter.
