1. Maruti Suzuki’s Swift Upgrade:

In the early months of 2024, Maruti Suzuki is all set to unveil the fourth generation of its popular Swift. Despite the declining trend in hatchback sales, the new model promises to revolutionize with the introduction of the ‘Z’ series engine, ensuring enhanced fuel economy.

2. Mahindra’s Exciting Lineup:

Following a successful 2023, Mahindra is ready to introduce the much-anticipated five-door variant of the Thar in 2024. Car enthusiasts can also anticipate the arrival of the new-generation Scorpio Pik Up and a facelift for the crowd-favorite XUV300.

3. Tata Motors’ Curvv Unleashed:

In 2023, Tata Motors solidified its position as India’s third-largest carmaker. Now, in 2024, Tata is all set to launch the Curvv, a sportier SUV positioned between the Nexon and Harrier. Boasting the latest technology, the Curvv will be available in both internal combustion and electric versions, with the electric Punch and Harrier expected in the first half of the year.

4. Hyundai and Kia’s Dynamic Moves:

Kia plans to kick off changes in 2024 with a mid-lifecycle refresh for the Sonet, followed by the second generation of the Carnival and the introduction of the EV9, an electric van. Hyundai, on the other hand, will begin the year with a model change for the bestseller, Creta. While other makeovers are on the horizon, production constraints may limit major new product launches.

5. Skoda and Volkswagen Embrace Electric Transition:

2024 is the year for Skoda and Volkswagen to make their mark in the sub-4 meter SUV segment and debut their first electric vehicles in India. Keep an eye out for the Skoda Enyaq and Volkswagen ID.4, expected to hit Indian shores. Assembly decisions hinge on government incentives for electric vehicle manufacturers.

6. Tesla’s Potential Indian Debut:

Could 2024 be the year when Tesla finally drives into the Indian market? Government enthusiasm to welcome Elon Musk’s company suggests that limited imports, possibly starting with the Model Y, could mark Tesla’s entry into the country.

7. Premium Sedans Redefine Luxury:

The premium sedan segment, including Audi A6, BMW 5 series, and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, is gearing up for a generational shift in 2024. BMW plans to introduce the electric i5 alongside a long-wheelbase edition. Mercedes-Benz continues the trend with a long-wheelbase variant, and Audi may follow suit. Anticipate a shift in prices for these upgraded models.

8. From China to India:

Following the approval of investments from JSW Group into MG Motors India, more MG-branded cars, including the eHS, might make their way to the Indian market. Additionally, discussions about investments in Ford’s dormant Chennai plant are underway, signaling potential expansion.

9. Electrified Offerings:

Nissan India has expressed its intent to launch new imported cars, such as the next-generation X-Trail, in 2024. Simultaneously, Citroen India plans to introduce the third vehicle of its C-Cubed platform and an electric version of the C3 Aircross, further embracing electrification.
