All-New Tata Safari (2025)

Potentially, some new safety upgrades would include ADAS, along with better interiors. In India, this would be the first Fortuner with hybrid tech, likely to be launched in late 2025. It is truly attractive for those people who want power and space in the full-size SUV with efficiency.
Mahindra XUV.e9 (Electric 7-Seater)

It is expected to sport a handsome-looking coupe-like design, a 3-row seating arrangement, a long-range battery (over 450 km), and technology-laden features. This will give families seeking a large modern vehicle a zero-emission alternative. Launch is expected towards late 2025.
Hyundai Alcazar Facelift
