The Indian automotive landscape is poised for an influx of new SUVs, with manufacturers preparing to unveil new models in the coming months. The Tata Punch is slated for a facelift, with exterior and interior updates, including a larger infotainment screen and a new steering wheel design. The Punch will likely retain its existing 1.2-liter petrol engine and CNG variant. The new Hyundai Venue is also on the horizon, incorporating design elements from the Alcazar and Creta. The Venue’s interior will be refreshed, and it will maintain its current engine and transmission options. Additionally, Tata Motors is gearing up to introduce petrol versions of the Harrier and Safari by the end of 2025, powered by a newly developed 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine. These petrol variants are expected to feature 6-speed torque converter automatic gearboxes.
