As we approach the threshold of 2024, automotive enthusiasts in India are in for an exhilarating ride, with Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, the country’s top two car manufacturers, gearing up to unveil a range of exciting new models across various segments.
Upcoming Maruti Cars in 2024
Maruti Suzuki is set to usher in a new era for two of its immensely popular models, the Swift and Dzire, in the early months of 2024. The highlight of these updates lies in the introduction of a new hybrid powertrain, propelling them to the zenith of fuel efficiency in the Indian automotive landscape.
Under the hood, a fresh 1.2L, 3-cylinder Z12E petrol engine, seamlessly integrated with hybrid technology and mated to a CVT gearbox, promises a remarkable mileage of 24.50kmpl. This transformation is poised to reinforce Maruti Suzuki’s commitment to sustainable mobility. Additionally, the anticipation mounts for Maruti Suzuki’s inaugural electric SUV, slated to make its debut in October or November 2024. Based on the eVX concept, this SUV will go head-to-head against the upcoming Tata Curvv.ev and Hyundai Creta EV.
Upcoming Hyundai Cars in 2024
Hyundai Motor India, not to be outdone, has laid its cards on the table for 2024, with major updates to its Creta and Alcazar SUVs taking center stage. Both models are set to receive a technological facelift in the form of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), enhancing safety and driving experience. Under the hood, a 160bhp, 1.5L turbo petrol engine will power these SUVs.
In addition to the technological upgrades, subtle cosmetic tweaks will further elevate the aesthetic appeal of the Creta and Alcazar. Adding to Hyundai’s performance-oriented lineup, the Verna N Line is ready to hit the roads in 2024, boasting N Line-specific sporty elements both inside and out. The heart of this sporty sedan will beat with the 160bhp, 1.5L turbo petrol engine.
