This list includes some all-new models, updated versions of existing vehicles and 6 new electric vehicles.

This new compact crossover is codenamed Bc4i and is being built on the K2 platform of the Hyundai i20. This vehicle is being designed keeping in mind such customers who want something new and unique in view of the growing demand for the compact SUV segment. This model is expected to play an important role in Hyundai’s sales growth in India. This car will be positioned between Venue and Creta, which means its size will also be similar – neither too big nor too small.
This upcoming SUV from Hyundai will be equipped with premium features. It is expected to feature the same engine and transmission options that are already available in the Venue – a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine. Both manual and automatic options can be available for transmission.

Talking about Bayon, this car is already being sold in Europe, Asia and parts of Africa since 2021. It was also given a new facelift last year. In the international market, this car comes with 1.0L T-GDi, 1.2L MPi and 1.4L MPi Kappa II engine options. It has also received a 4-star safety rating by Euro NCAP.
One special thing about Bayon is its unique design. Its look is a bit quirky, that is, it looks quite different from other cars, and this is probably what makes it special. In a country like India, where the buyer’s first attention is on the look of the car, this style of Bayon can attract customers.
