The popular SUV will borrow the design elements from the Thar Roxx, including the grille, bumpers, headlights and tail lamps. Inside the cabin, the spy shots highlight familiarity with the Roxx, like the steering wheels, infotainment system and more.

2. Mahindra XEV 7e

Mahindra XEV 7e has been in the development phase for a long time, and it is expected to launch by the end of 2025. The 7-seater electric SUV will be based on the INGLO skateboard platform shared with the XEV 9e and BE 6. It is basically the electrified version of the XUV700 and will be the first mass-market 7-seater electric SUV in the country. The XEV 7e will likely be offered in two battery pack options, i.e. 59 kWh and 79 kWh, with rear wheel drive as standard.

3. New-Gen Mahindra Bolero

The next-gen Bolero has already been spotted testing in India. Scheduled for a launch next year, i.e. 2026, the SUV will be based on the New Flexible Architecture (NFA) platform, which is expected to be officially unveiled on August 15. Mahindra will retain the boxy design elements, albeit in a much more modern avatar with round headlights, rugged bumpers, tailgate-mounted spare wheel and updated rear profile. Under the hood, the Bolero could get an updated powertrain, however, nothing can be confirmed as of now.

Mahindra will likely debut the XUV3XO in the Indian market in the coming months. Rivalling the likes of Tata Nexon EV and the upcoming Kia Syros EV, it is expected to sport a familiar design to the conventionally-powered XUV3XO. Internally codenamed S240, we expect the battery packs to be borrowed from the XUV400 EV, i.e. 34.5 kWh and 39.4 kWh units. The XUV3XO EV will be quite feature-loaded with equipment like ADAS, panoramic sunroof, 360-degree parking camera, dual-zone climate control and more.

5. Mahindra XUV700 Facelift

Scheduled for a launch next year in the Indian market, the facelifted XUV700 could be named the XUV7XO. The test mule of the updated SUV has already been spotted multiple times, partially revealing the new exterior design and triple-screen setup inside the cabin. Under the hood, the familiar 2.2-litre mHawk diesel and 2.0-litre mStallion petrol engines will continue to power the XUV700 facelift, mated to the option of a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox.

3 Upcoming Fortuner Rivals SUVs You Should Know About

GaadiWaadi -

Toyota Fortuner will face stiff competition in the 7-seater SUV segment with the arrival of three new models in the coming months

Toyota Fortuner has been the undisputed leader in the full-fledged seven-seater premium SUV segment for the last decade in the Indian market. Having said that, it had formidable rivals in the past in the form of Ford Endeavour, Mitsubishi Pajero and Jeep Meridian among others. However, it still emerged as the best-selling model despite the strong challenge from the other SUVs. Now, in the coming days, we will see at least three more new 7-seater SUVs launching in India to rival the Toyota Fortuner, which we will talk about in this piece.

1. MG Majestor

MG Motor India will soon launch a new flagship SUV in the form of the Majestor to rival the Toyota Fortuner in India. Being showcased at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo, it is expected to be sold via the MG Select premium dealerships. Some media reports suggest that the Majestor is the facelifted version of the Gloster. However, it is clear that even after the launch of MG Majestor, the Gloster will not be discontinued.

Upcoming Majestor

Based on the China-spec Maxus D90, it will feature dual 12.3-inch screens for the central infotainment system and digital instrument cluster. The SUV will also come with Level 2 ADAS suite with a host of advanced safety features. At the heart, MG Majestor will have a 2.0L 4-cylinder twin-turbocharged diesel engine which develops top power of 216 bhp and peak torque of 479 Nm. The engine is paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission along with a 4WD system.

2. Volkswagen Tayron

Volkswagen India is all set to expand its product portfolio with the launch of the Tayron SUV in India. Essentially the three-row version of the Tiguan it has been sighted multiple times on the Indian roads during its test runs. VW Tayron could be launched by Oct 2025 in the domestic market as presently the German brand doesn’t have presence in the 7-seater SUV segment.

The Tayron will share most of the styling elements and comfort creatures with the Tiguan. Under the hood, it will boast of a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine which we have already seen with the Skoda Kodiaq. This engine is capable of churning out top power of 201 bhp and peak torque of 320 Nm while linked to a 7-speed DCT automatic unit. VW could locally assemble the Tayron at its production facility in Aurangabad to keep the pricing aggressive.

3. Ford Endeavour

Ford India is likely to make a comeback in the Indian market in 2026 after a gap of nearly five years. The brand stated that it will use the Chennai facility initially for global exports. However, it will also sell a couple of models in the Indian market and the Endeavour could be one of them. For the unversed, Ford Endeavour is widely regarded as one of the most capable and refined 7-seater SUVs in India and we could finally see the SUV back on our roads soon.

Jaguar Land Rover Recalls Over 1,21,500 Vehicles for Suspension Knuckle Defect

JLR to recall 1,21,500 vehicles over suspension knuckle defect amid falling profits

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will recall more than 1,21,500 vehicles in the United States due to a potential defect in the aluminium front suspension knuckles, according to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The issue affects Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models and could increase the risk of a crash if the component cracks.

The suspension knuckles link the front wheels to parts such as the brake assembly. In June, the NHTSA launched a preliminary investigation into 91,856 JLR vehicles, focusing on 2014–2017 Range Rover Sport models, to determine the scope and cause of the defect. The recall expands beyond that initial probe.

Business Impact Amid Tariffs and Weak Demand

JLR, a UK-based subsidiary of Tata Motors, has been facing pressure from softer demand and the impact of US tariffs. Tata Motors recently reported a consolidated net profit of Rs. 4003 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 — a 62.2% drop compared to the same period last year and 53.2% lower than the previous quarter.

The company attributed the decline to reduced volumes across segments, lower JLR profitability, and the planned phase-out of older Jaguar models. JLR’s quarterly revenue fell 9.2% year-on-year to £6.6 billion (approximately Rs. 67,320 crore), reflecting lower wholesale volumes.

The recall underscores ongoing challenges for JLR in the US market as it manages product transitions and navigates trade-related pressures.

Mahindra BE6 Batman Edition Launched In India At Rs. 27.79 Lakh

GaadiWaadi -

Mahindra BE6 Batman Edition gets Batman-inspired design enhancements inside and out and is limited to just 300 units

Mahindra & Mahindra has collaborated with Warner Bros Discovery Global Consumer Products to introduce the BE 6 Batman Edition, a rare, limited production run EV. Drawing inspiration from Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy from Warner Bros. Pictures, it is a combination of cinematic heritage and modern design carrying a dark theme and is based on the top-end Pack Three variant equipped with a 79 kWh battery pack.

The legacy of Batman spans generations – evolving from comic books to animated series and blockbuster movies. He has become a symbol of intelligence, skill and technological mastery admired by audiences young and old. The BE 6 Batman Edition is said to capture this timeless appeal – giving enthusiasts a physical connection to one of the most recognised and respected icons in popular culture.

The exterior is finished in a custom satin black colour. Adding contrast are Alchemy Gold-painted suspension and brake callipers while 20-inch alloy wheels bring up an aggressive stance. Custom Batman decals on the front doors, a ‘Batman Edition’ signature sticker on the rear door cladding and limited-edition BE 6 × The Dark Knight badging at the rear enhance its exclusivity.

The Bat emblem from The Dark Knight Trilogy features prominently on the hub caps, front quarter panels, rear bumper, windows and even the roof. The Night Trail carpet lamps with Bat emblem projection complete the rather dramatic exterior. Stepping inside, a Brushed Alchemy Gold Batman Edition plaque with numbering sits on the dashboard.

The charcoal leather instrument panel includes a brushed gold halo surrounding the driver cockpit. The upholstery combines suede and leather with gold sepia stitching and integrated Bat emblems while gold detailing appears on the steering wheel, in-touch controller, Electronic Parking Brake and custom key fob.

The Bat emblem is also embossed on the Boost button, seats and interior labels while the passenger dashboard carries a pinstripe graphic with the emblem. Performance-inspired details include race car style open straps with Batman Edition branding and a unique welcome animation on the infotainment display. Exterior engine sounds are customised with a Batman-inspired theme too. Releasing on International Batman Day, the BE 6 Batman Edition is as much a collector’s piece as it is a vehicle. Bookings begin on August 23 with customer deliveries all set to start on September 20.

BMW Reportedly Developing Rugged Flagship SUV To Challenge Mercedes G-Class

BMW is developing a rugged flagship SUV to rival the Mercedes G-Class

BMW is said to be working on a new top-tier SUV aimed at competing directly with established luxury off-roaders like the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Lexus LX and Range Rover. The model, internally referred to as the G74, is expected to debut in the second half of 2029 and could replace the XM as BMW’s flagship offering.

Positioned for Off-Road Capability

The G74 will reportedly be built on the next-generation X5’s unibody platform rather than the X7’s, a move that may enhance its agility and performance on challenging terrain. Industry speculation suggests that the SUV will retain internal combustion power, aligning with market trends that have seen limited demand for electric luxury off-roaders in this segment.

BMW’s recent moves, such as introducing the X5 Silver Anniversary Edition with enhanced off-road capabilities, indicate growing interest in vehicles designed for adventure. The G74 is expected to feature rugged styling, upgraded suspension systems and advanced off-road software to boost its capability in demanding environments.

Potential Successor to the XM

The arrival of the G74 may signal the end of the XM, BMW’s high-performance SUV launched as the first standalone M model since the M1 sports car. Forecasts suggest XM production could wrap up in late 2028, just ahead of the G74’s planned introduction. Unlike the road-focused XM, the G74 would be geared toward rugged utility, appealing to buyers who prioritise capability as well as luxury.

An M-badged variant of the G74 is also possible, offering performance levels to rival the Mercedes-AMG G63 while maintaining its off-road credentials. However, competing for G-Class buyers will be a challenge, as the model enjoys strong brand loyalty in key markets like the US.

If realised, the G74 could mark a significant shift in BMW’s SUV strategy, filling a long-standing gap in its portfolio and broadening its appeal in the high-end luxury SUV segment.
