From some mass-market ICE and EV products to a few premium models, the following year is set to be a busy one for the whole auto industry.
Many new models were introduced in 2024, making it a busy year for both automakers and buyers. We expect this trend will continue in 2025, with products from both mass-market and premium carmakers across a variety of niches. Without further ado, here are all of the vehicles slated to hit the market in 2025.
Maruti Suzuki e Vitara

Globally, the Suzuki e Vitara is available with two battery pack options: 49 kWh and 61 kWh, with the India-spec e Vitara projected to have a claimed range of roughly 550 km.
Maruti Baleno Facelift

Expected Price: Rs 6.80 lakh (ex-showroom)
We expect Maruti to refresh its top hatchback, the Baleno, in 2025.

It is also expected to get feature upgrades like a larger infotainment system, a sunroof, and wireless phone charging.

Expected Price: Rs 8.50 lakh (ex-showroom)
The second-generation Maruti Brezza, which hasn’t had a major update since its premiere in 2022, is set to get a facelift in 2025.

Hyundai Tucson Facelift
Expected Launch: August 2025
Expected Price: Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom)
The facelifted Tucson, which was revealed globally in November 2023, is slated to launch in India in 2025. Compared to the existing model, the new Tucson has interior and exterior cosmetic changes, and it will most likely be available with the same 2-litre petrol and 2-litre diesel engine options. Expect a minor price increase over the current-spec Tucson, which costs between Rs 29.02 lakh and 35.94 lakh (ex-showroom).

The XEV 7e will have an outward style and cabin layout identical to the recently disclosed XEV 9e and will be available with a variety of powertrain options. It will most likely feature a triple-screen configuration, multi-zone climate control, and ADAS.
