The Indian auto industry is getting ready to launch a tonne of new models in 2024.
1. Nissan X-Trail:
It is quite probable that Nissan India will launch the X-Trail in August with a 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine rather than the ePower technology. The SUV received a major update globally in the middle of 2022, and local roads have seen it numerous times since. It will be sold in small quantities after being imported into the nation through the Completely Built-Up (CBU) approach.
2. New-Gen Kia Carnival:
The fourth-generation Carnival was recently sighted in the open, and it is scheduled to make its Indian premiere in the coming months. This new model, which is a major departure from the previous model, is probably going to come in seven- and nine-seater versions. Designed to compete with the highest-spec Innova Hycross models, it will have a feature-rich interior with contemporary comfort, safety, and convenience elements.
3. Mahindra Thar 5-Door:
Launched on August 15, 2024, the five-door Mahindra Thar will have bigger dimensions than the current three-door variant. It will be offered in numerous configurations and powered by a selection of engines, including a 2.0L gasoline engine, a 2.2L diesel engine, and a 1.5L diesel engine, with the option of an automatic or manual gearbox. The interior will get substantial changes, including a larger touchscreen display, a digital console, ADAS, a 360-degree camera, and other improvements, while the exterior will only see minor tweaks.
4. Mercedes-Benz EQA:
Arriving on July 8, the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQA will become the fourth model in the brand’s EQ family, joining the ranks of the EQE, EQS, and EQB. The EQA, which competes locally with cars like the BMW iX1 and Volvo XC40 Recharge, got a noteworthy modification early in the previous year for foreign markets.
With a 70.5 kWh battery pack, the electric crossover’s EQA 250+ trim level has a WLTP-rated range of 560 km. Variants such as the EQA 250, EQA 300 4Matic, and EQA 350 4Matic with a slightly smaller 66.5 kWh battery unit are available for international markets.
