The new launches happening this year, of which we have all been aware for quite a while, are of the Punto based crossover, the Avventura and the Abarth 500 hot hatch. New launches aside, the Grande Punto will also receive a mid-life refresh.

Come 2015 thought, off-road enthusiasts in India will get the first taste of Jeep models, the Wrangler and the Grand Cherokee.

The much delayed launch of the Jeep brand will finally take place next year with the Grand Cherokee that will be locally assembled and the Wrangler, which will be imported.

Next year will also see Fiat bring the Punto Abarth performance model. The best part about the Abarth Punto will be that it will be locally assembled.

The third Jeep model will be a C-segment SUV that will globally replace the Patriot and Compass models.

This year will see the introduction of brand new Wrangler and Grand Cherokee models, but the Wrangler will continue to be imported. Also, the next-gen Punto will be launched this year as well.

A significant launch will also take place in 2017. That of the Grand Siena.

Lastly, the Abarth version of the 2017 Punto will be launched this year.

What India has missed out on is the new Renegade compact SUV, which is truly unfortunate. Also, while globally the Punto will be replaced by the 500X, it will continued to be offered here with facelifts and updates.
