Hyundai Creta facelift
Expected arrival: Mid 2023
Expected price: Rs 11 lakh-19 lakh
The Creta, Hyundai’s most popular SUV, will receive a mid-life update with a slew of new features and exterior design elements. It will get a parametric grille inspired by the Tucson, as well as sharper-looking lamps and LED Daytime Running Lamps that reach the car’s edges. There will be three engine options: a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, a 1.5-litre petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel.
Citroen C3 7-seater
Expected arrival: Late 2023
Expected price: Rs 10 lakh
A seven-seater Citroen C3 has been spotted testing with slightly higher ground clearance and rugged body cladding than the standard C3. This C3 7-seater, rumored to be called the C3 Aircross, C3 Sport Tourer, or C3 Sport Tourer, could compete with the Renault Triber and Kia Carens at this price. It will most likely be powered by the same 1.2-litre petrol engine that powers the standard C3. The eC3, an electric version of the C3, has also been spotted testing!
Force Motors Gurkha 5-door
Expected arrival: Early 2023
Expected price: Rs 15 lakh
The five-door Force Gurkha will be available with a variety of seating configurations, including a bench or captain’s chairs in the second row. Although most components will be shared with its three-door sibling, the five-door Gurkha will have a slightly longer (400mm) wheelbase. It has a Mercedes-sourced 2.6-litre diesel engine mated to a 5-speed gearbox and is expected to come in 4X4 and 4X2 configurations with locking differentials and a low-range gearbox.
Kia Seltos facelift
Expected arrival: Mid 2023
Expected price: Rs 12 lakh-20 lakh
Another best-selling SUV that competes with the Creta will get a facelift in 2023. The Kia Seltos facelift will include new alloy wheels, a redesigned bonnet, headlamps, a new tail-lamp design, and a refreshed bumper. In addition, the cabin receives new upholstery, a new infotainment system, and cosmetic updates. It will also receive ADAS, which will be customized for India. The current model’s engine options, which include a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, 1.5-litre petrol, and 1.5-litre diesel, will be retained.
MG Hector facelift
Expected arrival: Early 2023
Expected price: Rs 15 lakh-20 lakh
The MG Hector will get a cosmetic makeover, including a ‘Argyle-inspired’ diamond mesh grille with chrome surrounds and restyled bumpers. It will also have new headlights. The most noticeable difference will be in the cabin, where the SUV will receive a new 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system. To keep up with the competition, the dashboard will get new horizontal AC vents and a flowing design for the center console, as well as ADAS technology. The existing 1.5-litre petrol engine and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine will continue to power the vehicle.
