Maruti Suzuki is yet to announce the launch date of the new Dzire. However, this new subcompact sedan is expected to launch a few weeks or months after the launch of the new Swift. It will have a similar exterior to the new Swift and a host of new features.
It has been reported that Maruti Suzuki will offer this sedan with an electric sunroof. This makes it the first sedan in the subcompact sedan segment to have this function. It will also feature a new and higher quality interior. The powertrain remains the same as the Swift.
Tata Altroz Racer
To challenge the Hyundai i20 N-Line, Tata Motors is gearing up to launch the all-new Altroz Racer hatchback. This new, sportier variant of the predecessor Altroz was launched at the Bharat Mobility Global Auto Expo. The new Altroz Racer is powered by a 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine.
It is the same engine as the Altroz iTurbo but has been tuned more to produce a maximum of 120 PS and 170 Nm of torque. That’s 10 hp and 30 Nm more than the iTurbo. Its main competitor, the Hyundai i20 N Line, offers 120 hp and 172 Nm of torque. No launch dates have been announced yet.
Tata Curvv EV
Although Tata Motors has officially revealed the Curvv ICE first in the country, the company has confirmed that it will launch the Curvv EV first. According to the reports, it will be launched around July this year.
It is speculated that the Curvv EV will be offered with two battery pack options like the Nexon EV facelift – the medium-range model and the long-range model. Currently, the Nexon EV MR uses a 30kWh battery while the LR variant comes with a larger 40.5kWh battery.
The outgoing Nexon EV facelift offers a range of around 325 km and 465 km in its MR and LR variants respectively. However, it has been reported that the Curvv EV will offer a range of around 500 km on a single full charge.
Tata Curvv
Soon after the official launch of the new Tata Curvv EV, Tata Motors will launch the Curvv diesel in India around August this year. In terms of design and features, it will be exactly the same as the Curvv EV.
However, it will have a diesel engine. This SUV will adopt the proven 1.5-liter 4-cylinder diesel engine from the Nexon diesel. This engine delivers a maximum power of 115 HP and 260 Nm of torque. This engine is expected to be paired with a manual transmission.

French automaker Citroen is gearing up to launch the new Basalt coupe SUV in the country. This new model is also based on the platform of the Citroen C3 hatchback. The company is expected to launch it around August this year.
The price could range between 15 and 20 lakh rupees. In terms of competition, it will compete with the Tata Curvv coupe SUV in India. It is powered by the same 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine.
This is the same engine that powers the Citroen C3 Aircross. It is expected to produce a maximum power of 110 HP and a maximum torque of 205 Nm. It is offered with both a manual and torque converter automatic transmission.
