From Sierra to Seltos: Every Car Unveiled and Launched in December 2025 – ZigWheels.com
2025 has been a blockbuster year for the Indian car market. Throughout the year, we saw several new cars and facelifts create a wave of excitement among Indian consumers, but as we near the end of 2025, December was no exception. From several important unveilings to new car launches, to iconic monikers returning in a new avatar, the last month of the year did not disappoint.
Let’s take a quick look at all the cars unveiled/launched in December 2025.
Price: Rs 11.49 – Rs 21.29 lakh (ex-showroom)
Possibly the biggest launch of the year, the Tata Sierra made a roaring debut in November with the company announcing only the starting price of Rs 11.49 lakh (ex-showroom). However, the company revealed the full price list for the 2025 Sierra in December, ranging up to Rs 21.29 lakh (ex-showroom).
The retro-styled SUV ticks almost all the boxes, perfectly. It looks great, has a thoroughly modern cabin with a long list of features and even comes with a variety of powertrain options. Check out our short review to know our full impressions of the new Tata Sierra.
Price: Rs 58.50 lakh (ex-showroom)
MINI India relaunched the Cooper S Convertible, a hatchback where you can enjoy the wind-on-your hair feeling. While its design might be unmistakably Mini, there is no doubt that the convertible roof dials up the charm level a notch up. Even the interior design is thoroughly modern and minimalistic, courtesy of all the controls bunched in the 9.4-inch circular OLED touchscreen infotainment system.

Power comes from a 2-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine developing 204 PS and 300 Nm, paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. And considering that it is a Mini, there is no doubt that it’s great fun to drive!
2025 Hector Price: Rs 11.99- Rs 18.99 lakh (ex-showroom)
2025 Hector Plus Price: Rs 17.29- Rs 19.49 lakh (ex-showroom)
MG Motor India has given the Hector and Hector Plus yet another facelift, with subtle cosmetic updates and a few additions to the features list. The main update is at the front, where the Hector now gets a brand new grille for a fresher look. The carmaker has also given it a new alloy wheel design and 2 new colour options as well.
Inside, the dashboard layout and design remains identical, but there are new colour schemes on offer. The large 14-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen infotainment system has been given updates which include touch-based gesture control functions, upgraded RAM for a smoother experience and a new user interface as well.

For now, MG is offering the Hector and Hector Plus with only the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine under the hood, although the carmaker has confirmed that the diesel-powered versions of both cars, and the 6-seater version of the Hector Plus will be launched in early 2026.
Prices: To Be Announced On January 2
Kia also unveiled the second-generation Seltos with a massive design overhaul and feature updates earlier this month.
The interior is completely reworked, highlighted by the Trinity Panoramic Display that combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a small 5-inch climate control panel. Other highlights include 64-colour ambient lighting, ventilated front seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with memory, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, and a 447-litre boot.
Safety is taken care of with six airbags and a Level 2 ADAS suite offering up to 21 autonomous features, including forward-collision avoidance, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross-traffic alert, smart cruise control with stop-and-go, and a 360-degree camera with blind-spot view monitor.

The powertrain options, however, remain similar to the outgoing Seltos with a choice of 1.5-litre petrol, turbo-petrol and diesel engines. All three engines can be had with automatic transmission options, while the petrol and diesel also get a 6-speed manual gearbox. The turbo-petrol, on the other hand, offers a unique 6-speed iMT(clutchless manual) transmission as well.

After years of waiting, Tata has finally revealed the Harrier and Safari SUVs with a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine, which also powers the newly-launched Sierra. Both SUVs retain their bold design, spacious cabins, and premium interiors while also getting some new features like a larger 14.5-inch touchscreen, an updated 10-speaker JBL sound system and a digital inside rear-view mirror.

The new petrol variants are powered by a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 170 PS and 280 Nm. This engine is available with 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission options and is tuned to deliver smoother performance and lower NVH than the diesel.
The petrol models sit alongside the existing 2-litre diesel engine, which produces around 170 PS and 350 Nm.
December 2025 marked a shift toward the industry’s growing focus on SUVs, technology, and powertrain choice. The return of the Tata Sierra, the new Kia Seltos, feature-rich updates to the MG Hector twins, and the addition of petrol engines to the Harrier and Safari underline how OEMs are broadening appeal across buyer profiles. Add the MINI Cooper S Convertible to the mix, and the last month of the year delivered one of the most varied and important line-ups heading into 2026.
