In the realm of family-oriented vehicles, the 7-seater segment has perennially been favored for its blend of practicality, abundant space for both occupants and cargo, and versatile capabilities. The year 2024 promises the arrival of four noteworthy additions to this category. Let’s delve into the upcoming 7-seater family cars slated to grace the roads in 2024.
Upcoming 7-Seater Family Cars In 2024
Tata Safari Petrol
Following the recent launch of the updated Safari, Tata Motors is set to introduce a new variant in 2024, featuring a new 1.5L, 4-cylinder TGDi turbo petrol engine. Generating an impressive 170bhp and 280Nm, the SUV will offer both manual and automatic gearbox options. Boasting aluminum components, a variable oil pump, dual cam phasing, and an integrated exhaust manifold within the cylinder head, the new petrol engine enhances performance and fuel efficiency, further augmenting the Safari’s appeal.
Updated Hyundai Alcazar
The 2024 Hyundai Alcazar facelift draws design inspiration from the Exter micro SUV and the upcoming Creta facelift. Spy images reveal a refreshed aesthetic, characterized by a newly-designed grille, updated headlamps, tweaked front and rear bumpers, new alloys, and revised taillamps. Inside, the Alcazar is expected to showcase an upgraded upholstery, a redesigned steering wheel, and an enhanced touchscreen infotainment system. Under the hood, it will retain the existing 1.5L turbo petrol and 1.5L diesel engines, delivering 160bhp and 115bhp, respectively.
New-Gen Kia Carnival
Scheduled for a 2024 launch, the new-generation Kia Carnival promises significant cosmetic enhancements. A wide grille with chrome accents, L-shaped headlamps featuring different LEDs, and a more upright stance contribute to its refreshed exterior. Newly-designed alloy wheels complement its overall aesthetics, while the iconic L-shaped taillamps connected by an LED light bar and a matte black bumper with subtle chrome detailing remain unaltered, maintaining the Carnival’s distinctive charm.
New-Gen Toyota Fortuner
Toyota’s renowned premium 7-seater SUV, the Fortuner, is gearing up for its next-generation debut in 2024. It’s surely one of the much-awaited upcoming 7-seater family cars in India. Embracing comprehensive changes in design, features, and powertrains, the 2024 Fortuner transitions to the new TNGA-F architecture, bidding farewell to the IMV platform. Drawing inspiration from the new Tacoma pickup truck, the new Fortuner will boast a 2.8L turbo diesel engine coupled with a 48-volt mild hybrid tech, promising enhanced fuel efficiency compared to its predecessor.
