1. New Hyundai Venue
Hyundai’s popular compact SUV is ready for a complete overhaul. The new‑generation Hyundai Venue, which has been spotted on test runs, will bring a fresh design heavily influenced by the latest Creta and Alcazar. The cabin will see a big upgrade, with highlights such as a panoramic sunroof and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS Level 2). Hyundai is expected to retain its reliable petrol and diesel engine lineup while possibly improving mileage figures to make the Venue more efficient and value‑friendly in its segment.
2. Maruti Suzuki Escudo
Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to launch the Escudo, a new midsize SUV that will sit just below the Grand Vitara. While the brand’s first EV, the e‑Vitara, has been slightly delayed due to supply issues, the Escudo will arrive earlier to keep customers engaged. Its design will draw inspiration from both the e‑Vitara and Grand Vitara, offering a modern yet practical appeal. Under the hood, buyers can expect the proven 1.5‑litre petrol engine with both mild‑hybrid and strong‑hybrid options, ensuring good fuel efficiency along with smooth performance. Inside, the Escudo is likely to be feature‑packed, catering to family buyers looking for a balance of comfort and technology.

3. New‑Gen Mahindra Bolero
The Bolero has long been a trusted name in Indian households, and Mahindra is preparing to take it a step forward. The new‑generation Bolero will adopt an evolutionary design language while riding on a brand‑new ladder‑frame platform. This change promises better strength and durability, with the SUV expected to include premium features that could place it closer to midsize rivals. While the new Bolero will appeal to urban buyers, Mahindra will continue offering the current Bolero MUV to retain its rural customer base.
4. Tata Punch Facelift
Since its launch in 2021, the Tata Punch has been a consistent performer in the micro‑SUV space. This festive season, it’s set to receive a facelift. Inspired by its electric counterpart, the Punch EV, the ICE version will gain updated exterior styling and refreshed interiors. The 1.2‑litre naturally aspirated petrol engine is expected to continue, offering reliable performance and decent mileage, while the feature list will likely expand to keep it competitive in a crowded segment.
