The e-Vitara will initially be offered with a front-wheel-drive setup using a 174 hp motor paired with a 61 kWh battery. The company claims this version will deliver more than 500 km of range as per ARAI estimates. A dual-motor all-wheel-drive version is expected to arrive later. Maruti may also offer a smaller 144 hp motor with a 49 kWh battery for the lower variants.
Tata Harrier, Safari Turbo
Tata Motors is preparing to introduce new turbo-petrol versions of the Harrier and Safari on December 9. Currently, both SUVs are powered by a Fiat-sourced 2-litre diesel engine. The new engine is expected to be a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol unit producing 160 hp and 255 Nm of torque.
This powertrain made its debut in the 2025 Tata Sierra and is paired with a six-speed automatic gearbox. The higher 170 hp and 280 Nm figures showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo may or may not be offered in the final versions.
MG Hector Facelift
A new facelifted MG Hector may also arrive around mid-December. The update is likely to include minor exterior changes and feature upgrades. The current 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 2-litre diesel engines are expected to be retained.
