The Indian four-wheeler market is one of the biggest and most competitive automotive markets in the world, and every automobile manufacturer wants to become the market leader by offering newer cars in the market.

The Citroen C3 is the upcoming compact SUV from the French car manufacturer, Citroen. The compact SUV will be priced anywhere between Rs 8-12-lakhs in India and will either be powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged flex-fuel engine or a 1.6-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine. We expect the upcoming Citroen C3 to lean towards comfort like its big brother, the Citroen C5 AirCross. We expect Citroen to launch the C3 SUV in January 2022.

Mahindra Scorpio

Mahindra has been on a roll ever since it launched the all-new Thar in India. The Indian automobile giant recently launched the new XUV700 and the brand is now gearing up for the launch of the new-gen Mahindra Scorpio. We expect Mahindra to launch the new Scorpio before the end of this financial year considering the fact that both the new XUV700 and the upcoming Scorpio were seen testing together many times before the launch of the former.

Jeep Meridian

Jeep Meridian is the 7-seater version of the Jeep Compass SUV. The Jeep ‘Meridian' was recently launched in South American markets as the Jeep ‘Commander' and the 7-seater SUV came with many premium features and substantial changes on the interior to justify the premium price tag over the 5-seater Jeep Compass. The Jeep Meridian may come with two engine options, a 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine or a 2.0-litre Multijet diesel unit, and gearbox options include a 6-speed manual or a 9-speed automatic transmission. We expect Jeep to launch this SUV during the second half of next year.

Kia Carens

Kia Carens is an upcoming seven-seater MPV that could go up against the likes of Maruti Suzuki XL6, Maruti Suzuki Ertiga and Mahindra Marazzo. The MPV could be priced anywhere between Rs 12-16 lakhs in India. If Kia could price the MPV aggressively, it could be another successful vehicle for Kia in India. We expect Kia to launch the Carens during the first half of 2022.

The Maruti Suzuki Jimny is one of the most awaited vehicles in India and unlike the international version, the Indian version of the Suzuki Jimny will come with two more doors for additional practicality.

We expect Maruti Suzuki to launch the Jimny during the second half of the next year.
