Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Nissan To Launch 4 New MPVs In India

GaadiWaadi -

Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Nissan plan to bring four new MPVs to Indian showrooms in the near-to mid-term future

SUVs may be dominating the Indian auto market, but MPVs continue holding significance among a sizeable chunk of family car buyers. In FY2025, MPVs enjoyed a 10% market share in India’s car market, and the demand is rising, as an increasing number of Indians hop on the trend of road trips and leisure travel.

Maruti Suzuki is already present in the MPV segment with the Ertiga and XL6, and in the next two years, it will expand to four models. The Indo-Japanese joint venture is working on an electric MPV codenamed ‘Maruti YMC,’ designed to be positioned against the Kia Carens Clavis EV. The company plans to launch it by September next year.

The Maruti YMC should come with 49 kWh and 61 kWh LFP battery packs, paired with 142 hp/192.5 Nm and 172 hp/192.5 Nm motors, respectively. It could deliver a range of up to around 475 km in the top variant. A Toyota-badged corporate cousin is also planned, and it should arrive a few months later.

Spacia for reference

Maruti Suzuki has been eyeing the sub-4 metre MPV space for years now and will finally foray into this segment in 2027. Internally called ‘Maruti YDB,’ the small MPV will be based on the Suzuki Solio, an A-segment Japanese MPV designed with proportions similar to kei cars but with a larger body and a bigger engine. Maruti Suzuki could offer this model with its new Z12E 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine as well as the upcoming series-hybrid system based on this engine.

Hyundai has been contemplating an India-focused MPV for well over a decade now. The company showcased the Hexa Space concept in 2012, previewing a potential Maruti Ertiga rival, and in 2015, it confirmed plans to launch such a model. The company shelved plans and shifted its focus to SUVs in light of changing consumer trends.

Last week, at its first investor day event in India, Hyundai announced again that it plans to launch an MPV. This model will be completely different from the previously planned MPV, in line with the latest industry standards for comfort, connectivity, and safety, and incorporating Hyundai’s latest design language.

Globally, Hyundai offers three MPVs, namely Stargazer, Custo/Custin, and Staria. The Stargazer, the smallest one of the trio, is the perfect fit for India. Hyundai developed it as an Ertiga rival primarily for Southeast Asian markets. That said, the model is already three years old and received its mid-life facelift recently. Hyundai may directly bring the next-gen model here sometime in 2027, based on the same platform as the next-gen Creta scheduled to arrive in February 2028.

Nissan couldn’t succeed with its first MPV in India, the Evalia, which was significantly larger and more spacious than the Maruti Ertiga. The company now plans to make another attempt at MPVs, but this time in a lower segment. It is working on a rebadged version of the Renault Triber and has commenced its road testing, having scheduled its launch in February 2026.

Top 25 selling cars of September 2025

September 2025 car sales witnessed drastic changes in top 25, Tata Nexon leads

September 2025 top 25 car sales list revealed, Tata Nexon tops the chart. There are 10 Maruti cars in this list, followed by 4 cars from Mahindra, 3 cars from Hyundai, Tata and Kia, 2 from Toyota.

Tata Motors achieved a historic milestone as the Tata Nexon became the country’s best-selling car, with over 22,500 units dispatched, the highest-ever monthly sales figure for a single Tata model. The company’s success continued with the Tata Punch also securing a position within the Top 5, marking a rare occasion where two Tata models featured among the top performers.

Interestingly, hatchbacks were absent from the Top 5 list. Despite benefiting from recent GST reductions, which particularly favoured smaller cars, consumer preference has continued shifting toward sub-4-metre SUVs. Industry observers note a growing inclination among buyers for EVs and CNG-powered vehicles, with Tata reporting nearly double the EV sales year-on-year, alongside record-breaking CNG vehicle numbers.

The recent GST rate revisions appear to have accelerated purchase decisions, with many automakers noting a sharp rise in bookings during the latter half of September. The full extent of this momentum is expected to reflect in October 2025 sales figures.

Among other strong performers, Hyundai Creta maintained its dominance in the mid-size SUV category and secured the third position overall, registering its best-ever monthly sales. Meanwhile, Maruti Wagon R continued as the country’s most popular hatchback, taking the seventh spot.

Out of 25 cars in the list, 10 cars have witnessed negative year-on-year growth. What are your thoughts on the top 25 selling cars of September 2025. Let us know in the comments section below.

Mahindra Vision S (Baby Scorpio) Caught Testing Again – Interior Sneak Peek

GaadiWaadi -

Mahindra Vision S based compact SUV is expected to go on sale in 2027, based on the new NU_IQ monocoque platform

During its Independence Day-themed Freedom NU event, Mahindra unveiled its Vision series of concept SUVs, providing a peek into the brand’s future lineup. The spotlight was on the Vision S, which shared the stage with the Vision X, Vision T and Vision SXT. These concepts hints at upcoming production models intended to occupy distinct segments across Mahindra’s SUV portfolio.

The Vision S concept is generating the most buzz from Mahindra’s range – built atop the new NU_IQ monocoque platform that will underpin multiple future SUVs. The “S” designation hints at a connection to the Scorpio lineage though it remains uncertain whether this signals a conventional petrol/diesel successor or a more compact version or even an electrified version under the familiar badge.

Regardless, the Vision S is being positioned as a link between concept and production within the Scorpio family. Mahindra could potentially bring in a slightly more compact version of the Scorpio N inspired by this concept as initial signs have been seen through spy images which was thought to be the next-gen Bolero before.

In the latest set of spy images, you could readily see that the prototype retains the signature short overhangs, complete with the spare tyre mounted on the rear door for a bit of an old school look. Inside, the cabin features grab handles for the second-row passengers, a semi-digital instrument cluster paired with a coloured MID and a panoramic sunroof.

The first NU_IQ based vehicle will arrive in 2027 and it could be the production version of the Vision S as the testing mule you are seeing here has been caught multiple times and is in its advanced development stages. The Vision S will be accompanied by the Vision X which could spawn crossover family and the Vision T which will give rise to the next iterations of the Thar including an electric version.

Tata Expects To Deliver Over 25,000 Vehicles This Dhanteras & Diwali

GaadiWaadi -

The impressive delivery run comes on the back of the stellar sales performance in September as well as Q2 FY26 in India

Tata Motors has embarked on its biggest ever festive season with the company expected to deliver more than 25,000 vehicles during the Dhanteras and Diwali period. This year’s Dhanteras spans across two days and Tata anticipates a 30 per cent growth compared to last year’s festive sales – ensuring a new milestone for its passenger vehicle business.

Speaking on the occasion, Amit Kamat, Chief Commercial Officer, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., said, “This year, Dhanteras and Diwali deliveries are spread across two to three days, aligning with the auspicious mahurats. Overall demand has been very strong, and the recent GST 2.0 reform has added further positive momentum to the market. We are expecting to deliver over 25,000 vehicles during this festive period.”

The company’s confidence stems from its recent stellar sales performance in September 2025 when it recorded a domestic tally of 59,667 units with a 45.3 per cent jump from 41,065 units in the same month last year. The surge, fuelled by strong SUV demand and an expanding EV portfolio, pushed Tata’s market share to 15.8 per cent – up by 4.3 points year-on-year – the highest gain among all automakers.

Meanwhile, Mahindra held firm in third with 56,233 units, up 10.1 per cent, while Hyundai and Toyota followed in fourth and fifth, respectively.

Tata’s performance was underpinned by the Nexon and Punch, which continue to dominate the charts. The Nexon alone registered over 22,500 units in September – becoming the highest-selling passenger vehicle in India for the month. The EV range, led by the Punch EV, Nexon EV, and Tiago EV, also contributed significantly, registering a record 96 per cent year-on-year surge.
