2. Citroen eC3 The Citroen eC3 is an all-electric version of the C3 which is already on sale. For the most part, the eC3 EV looks similar to its ICE counterpart, save for the charging port located on the front fender. The interiors get a revised centre console with a new drive controller which replaces the traditional gear lever. The Citroen eC3 gets a 29.2kWh battery pack which sends power to a front-axle mounted electric motor that makes 57hp and 143Nm, and it has an ARAI-certified range of 320km. The Citroen eC3 is expected to cost Rs 10-12 lakh, ex showroom, and is squarely aimed at the Tata Tiago EV which is currently the most affordable EV you can buy in India. ₹ 10.00 - 12.00lakh Expected Launch: February 2023 source:https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/citroen/ec3

3. Nissan X-Trail The Nissan X-Trail is a premium executive SUV and is available globally in 5-seat or 7-seat guises. It is available with a number of petrol or petrol hybrid powertrains, the most interesting and unique of which is Nissan’s e-Power range extender hybrid system. This mates a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine to an electric motor, but the car runs only on electric power, with the engine acting only as a generator. It will be the only strong hybrid in its segment which includes the Citroen C5 Aircross, Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tiguan. ₹ 40.00 - 45.00lakh Expected Launch: February2023 source:https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/nissan/x-trail

The Fronx is a low-slung crossover alternative to the Maruti Suzuki Brezza which will be sold from Maruti’s premium Nexa outlets. ₹ 8.00 – 11.00 lakh Expected Launch:April 2023 source:https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/maruti-suzuki/fronx

8. Maruti Suzuki Jimny The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is a simple, affordable, no-nonsense off-roader with a ladder frame chassis and low-range 4x4. In a way it is a spiritual successor to the Maruti Gypsy, but this one will have more creature comforts. For India, Maruti has developed a special five-door version that is larger than the three-door model currently sold abroad. It will use the 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, and is expected to launch in May 2023 ₹ 10.00 – 12.00 lakh Expected Launch:May 2023 source:https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/maruti-suzuki/jimny

9. Maserati MC20 The MC20 spearheads Maserati’s revival plan that includes a return to its supercar and racing roots. The MC20 gets an all-new, in-house-developed twin-turbo V6, named Nettuno or ‘Neptune’, that propels the two-door, two-seat supercar from 0-100 in just 2.9 seconds. It makes extensive use of carbon-fibre and other lightweight materials, resulting in a claimed kerb weight of under 1,500kg, giving it a power-to-weight ratio of 420hp per tonne. Maserati is expected to bring the MC20 to India by the second quarter of 2023. When it comes, it will take on the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo S and GT3, Lamborghini Huracan and Aston Martin V8 Vantage. ₹ 3.50 crore Expected Launch:Mid 2023 source:https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/maserati/mc20

10. Ferrari Purosangue The Ferrari Purosangue is technically the brand’s first SUV, but it’s not marketed that way. Instead, it is described as the first four-door Ferrari sportscar. No turbos or downsizing here. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.5-litre V12 producing 725hp and 716Nm of torque. It gets an 8-speed transaxle dual-clutch auto gearbox that drives the rear wheels and an additional 2-speed gearbox driving the front wheels, giving the Ferrari Purosangue all-wheel drive. The Purosangue sprints from 0-100kph in a claimed 3.3 seconds and can achieve a claimed top speed of 310kph. ₹ 6.00 crore Expected Launch:Mid 2023 source:https://www.autocarindia.com/cars/ferrari/purosangue
