Thinking Of Buying A New Car? These 4 Upcoming Launches Might Be Worth The Wait – ZigWheels.com

November 23, 2025 admin

The car market in India is fast-moving, and in case you’re looking to purchase a new car, it may be well worth the wait for a few key upcoming models. From the return of Tata Sierra to Mahindra’s new electric SUV and the next-generation Kia Seltos, these forthcoming launches promise huge upgrades in design, technology, and powertrain options. Here’s a look at the cars that can bring in better value if you can wait a little longer.
Launch Date: November 25
Expected Price: Rs 15- Rs 25 lakh
The Tata Sierra comes back with a huge stride in design and technology. While prices are to be announced on November 25, 2025, the new Sierra will fight in the highly competitive compact SUV segment, looking at a retail price between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 25 lakh ex-showroom. It will be positioned as a premium alternative to the already existing Tata Curvv, which also finds itself in this segment with an ICE and EV version. Here are the expected powertrain specifications of the new Sierra:
Engine
1.5-litre turbo-petrol
1.5-litre diesel
Transmission
6-speed Manual/7-speed dual-clutch automatic
6-speed Manual/7-speed dual-clutch automatic
Power (PS)
170 PS
118 PS
Torque (Nm)
280 Nm
260 Nm
*Expected figures

It combines retro cues from the original Sierra with a modern appearance, featuring a full-width LED light bar, prominent badging, a textured grille, and bold body panels. On the feature front, Tata is equipping Sierra with high-end features like the triple-screen layout and a 12-speaker JBL Black audio system with soundbar.
Launch Date: November 27
Expected Price: Rs 21 lakh and Rs 30 lakh
The Mahindra XEV 9S stands in a league of its own for buyers who look further ahead into the future of mobility. The all-electric, three-row SUV will hit the Indian shores on November 27, 2025. Underpinned by the INGLO platform, the XEV 9S promises space, electric power, and practicality together in a segment still very much in its infancy in India. Here are the specifications of the XEV 9e, which the XEV 9S is likely to share the powertrain with:
Battery Size
59 kWh
79 kWh
Claimed Range (MIDC Part 1+Part 2)
542 km
656 km
Power (PS)
231 PS
286 PS
Torque (Nm)
380 Nm
380 Nm

With full specifications still not in the public domain, the positioning of the model indicates that Mahindra aims at the premium EV family space, possibly changing the perception of electric mobility beyond city compacts.
Launch Date: December 2
Expected Price: Rs 17 lakh- Rs 22.50 lakh
The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara will be the entry of the brand in the electric SUV segment in India. It’s slated to launch on December 2, 2025, and will come with a fully-electric powertrain. Two battery pack options are also rumoured: 49 kWh and 61 kWh, with claimed ranges of over 400 km for the 61kWh battery pack.

Power (PS)
144 PS

Inside, the e Vitara is likely to boast Level-2 ADAS, twin digital displays, a modern dashboard and premium packaging in line with Maruti’s NEXA channel. For buyers prepared to move into electric early, the e Vitara offers a credible mix of brand trust and future-proofing.
India Debut: December 10
Expected Price: Rs 11.30 – 22 lakh
Although the next-gen Kia Seltos has not been launched in India yet, the SUV continues to be one of the most-awaited models for early 2026. Kia has announced that the global debut will happen on December 10, 2025, with prices expected in the first half of 2026.
Engine
1.5-litre NA Petrol
1.5-litre Turbo Petrol
1.5-litre Diesel
Transmission
6-speed manual/ CVT automatic
6-speed iMT/ 7-speed dual-clutch automatic
6-speed manual/ 6-speed torque converter automatic

Peak Torque (Nm)

But Kia is not tinkering with an already successful formula. The new-gen Seltos will retain a tried-and-tested engine lineup comprising a 1.5-litre NA petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel, paired with a mix of manual, CVT, torque-converter and DCT gearboxes. Much more promising, though, is Kia’s new strong-hybrid system. It pairs a 1.6-litre petrol with an electric motor, though its India launch is still not confirmed.
If you are in the market for a new SUV and time is on your side, each of these models offers a compelling reason to wait. The Tata Sierra brings legacy with a modern twist, the Mahindra XEV 9S signals the next wave of electric SUVs, the Maruti e Vitara brings a trusted brand’s first big EV move, and the next-gen Kia Seltos promises a leap forward in the popular compact SUV category.
