From new-generation versions of popular SUVs to long-awaited electric models, the upcoming lineup offers a mix of design updates, feature enhancements, and powertrain improvements.
Upcoming SUVs in India With Confirmed Dates
Multiple launches are officially scheduled across the end of 2025 and early 2026. These models include new generations, facelifts, and EV introductions, giving buyers plenty of options to look forward to. Kia, Mahindra, Renault, Skoda, VinFast, and Tata all have major products lined up for release.
New-Gen Kia Seltos – 10th December 2025
Kia is preparing to roll out the next-generation Seltos, and the update is more extensive than a basic cosmetic refresh.

Mahindra XUV 7XO – 5th January 2026
Mahindra is ready with the facelifted version of the XUV700, which will now carry the name XUV 7XO. The design inspiration comes from the brand’s XEV 9e electric SUV, so buyers can expect a sharper-looking exterior and upgraded features. The familiar 2.0-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engines will remain unchanged, ensuring the model retains its strong performance characteristics.
New Renault Duster – 26th January 2026
The Renault Duster is making its big comeback in an all-new avatar. The third-generation model will be completely different from the outgoing version, offering a more premium interior and improved efficiency. While Renault hasn’t revealed full specifications yet, the India lineup is expected to include the 1.0-litre turbo petrol and the 1.3-litre turbo petrol engines. The new model aims to revive the strong fanbase the original Duster once enjoyed.
Skoda Kushaq Facelift – January 2026
Skoda is set to introduce the Kushaq facelift in the early weeks of January 2026. The changes are likely to be subtle on the outside, but the feature list will be expanded to add more value. The updated Kushaq will continue using its TSI turbo-petrol engines, which are already well-known for their punchy performance and refinement.
VinFast Limo Green – February 2026
VinFast will bring its Limo Green electric MPV to India in February 2026. Internationally, the model comes with a 60.13kWh battery pack paired with an electric motor that produces 204bhp and 280Nm. The brand claims a driving range of 450km (NEDC), making it suitable for daily use as well as intercity travel. The MPV-style design also positions it as a practical choice for families and fleet buyers.
Tata Sierra EV – January 2026
Tata’s highly anticipated Sierra EV will finally debut in January 2026. It shares much of its exterior design with the ICE-powered Sierra already on sale, but the electric version will introduce EV-specific touches. The battery options are expected to include 65kWh and 75kWh units, both of which are also planned for the Harrier EV. With its familiar boxy silhouette and fresh electric identity, the Sierra EV aims to expand Tata’s growing EV portfolio.
Final Thoughts
India’s SUV segment is heading into a busy period, with confirmed launches spread across late 2025 and early 2026. From new-generation upgrades like the Kia Seltos and Renault Duster to electric offerings such as the VinFast Limo Green and Tata Sierra EV, buyers will have plenty of choices across different budgets and segments. As brands bring more features, better performance, and modern designs, these upcoming SUVs are set to make the market even more competitive.
