In early 2024, India’s top car manufacturers, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata, and Mahindra, are set to launch several highly anticipated cars. Auto enthusiasts and buyers can look forward to exciting choices in various segments, from compact hatchbacks to SUVs and electric vehicles. Here’s a brief overview of these upcoming releases:
New-Gen Maruti Swift/Dzire
Maruti Suzuki is set to introduce the new-generation Swift and Dzire models. These cars will undergo significant updates in terms of design, features, and engine options. The most noteworthy change is the incorporation of a strong hybrid powertrain, which is expected to make them the most fuel-efficient cars in the country. Reports suggest that these hybrid variants will achieve a remarkable mileage of approximately 35kmpl to 40kmpl. The all-new Swift is scheduled to launch in February, followed by the arrival of the Dzire in April 2024. More details here…
