February is turning out to be a busy month for the Indian car market, with multiple launches and price announcements lined up across SUV, MPV and electric segments. From full-size diesel SUVs to premium performance models and new electric offerings, manufacturers are covering a wide range of buyer preferences.
MG Motor India will reveal prices for the Majestor on 12 February. The Majestor is basically a more premium, top-spec cousin of the Gloster (it’s based on the Maxus D90 platform), but with a distinct look, new front and rear bumpers, a different grille, vertically stacked headlamps with slim LED DRLs, new tail lamps, and fresh alloy wheels. It uses the same 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel architecture, paired with an eight-speed automatic and 4×4 hardware. The Majestor is being pitched to take on body-on-frame rivals such as the Toyota Fortuner Legender.

BMW India will unveil pricing for the range-topping X3 30 xDrive M Sport Pro on 16 February. This top trim uses a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol that makes 258 bhp and 400 Nm, and it pairs with an eight-speed automatic plus a 48V mild-hybrid system. Key visual and equipment highlights include an illuminated grille, 20-inch staggered wheels, new paint and smoked lamps, plus M-signature interior touches. Expect the X3 30 to be aimed squarely at buyers looking for a sporty, premium compact SUV.

Volkswagen has opened pre-bookings for the flagship Tayron R-Line in India with a token amount of ₹51,000. The Tayron is offered with a 2.0-litre TSI petrol producing about 201 bhp and 320 Nm, mated to a seven-speed DSG; VW has said official pricing will be announced in February. The Tayron will sit at the top of VW’s SUV ladder in India and is expected to be offered as a single, fully loaded variant.
Nissan Gravite
Nissan’s Gravite, a three-row MPV built on the Triber/CMF-B underpinnings, is set for a reveal on 17 February. It will be a sub-four-metre, seven-seat MPV with a distinct exterior from the Triber. Power is expected to come from the familiar 1.0-litre, three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol (roughly 71 bhp and 96 Nm), offered with 5-speed manual and AMT options. The Gravite aims at budget-minded family buyers who need flexible seating and low running costs.
Maruti’s first all-electric mainstream SUV, the e Vitara, will have its pricing finalised this month. The e Vitara will be offered in three variants and ten colours, with two battery options, 48.8 kWh and 61.1 kWh, and an ARAI-claimed range of up to about 543 km. Toyota will sell a sister model badged as the Urban Cruiser Ebella. The e Vitara is important because it represents Maruti’s push into high-volume EVs for India and will reset pricing/feature expectations in the electric SUV segment.
