Honda To Launch A New Sedan And Multiple New SUVs In India

GaadiWaadi -

Honda’s new models coming to Indian showrooms in the near- to mid-term future to include ICE, hybrid, and also pure electric cars

Honda’s new global strategy places a much stronger emphasis on India than ever before. The company is realigning its approach to our market and working on several new cars primarily designed for Indian customers. On 22 May, Honda will roll out a second facelift for the fifth-generation City, and contrary to earlier speculations, it will be more extensive than the first one. The entire front-end of the 2026 City, including the hood, will be new.

The headlamps will be much slimmer and sharper, and the radiator grille, bumper, and lower air intake grille will also have a completely different look. The Honda logo will be ahead of the leading edge of the hood instead of on the radiator grille like the current model.

On the sides, the 2026 Honda City will feature new 16-inch alloy wheels, including an option for a full-black finish. There could be design changes at the back and on the inside, too, as well as a host of new features, including ventilated seats. No mechanical changes are expected with this refresh.

Along with the 2026 City, Honda will launch the ZR-V in India on 22 May. The Honda ZR-V is a global C-SUV positioned below the CR-V, and it will be a niche model in our market, imported as a CBU from Japan. Honda manufactures it in petrol and petrol-electric hybrid variants, but it will likely offer only the latter in our market.

The hybrid variant combines a 2.0-litre petrol engine that develops 104 kW (139 hp) and 182 Nm of torque and an electric motor that generates 135 kW (181 hp) and 315 Nm of torque. According to Japan’s WLTC method, it delivers a fuel economy of up to 22.1 km/l.

Sometime in the third quarter, Honda is expected to roll out a facelift for the Elevate. The new Elevate will likely feature a refreshed exterior with redesigned bumpers, tweaked headlamps and tail lamps, and new 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there could be several new features in the facelifted Elevate, including a digital instrument cluster and ventilated front seats.

In early 2027, Honda will launch the production version of the α concept introduced at the 2025 Japan Mobility Show. This will be a fully electric mid-size SUV, challenging the likes of Hyundai Creta Electric, Maruti e Vitara, and Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella. It will be manufactured locally, but with cells imported from Indonesia, which could make it pricey.

In 2028, Honda will likely launch a new compact SUV designed to compete with the likes of Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Sonet. This sub-4 metre model will likely be followed by a new mid-size product. The company has only shared that it will launch new models in these segments starting in 2028, without sharing any specific details.

5 New Compact SUVs To Be Launched In India By Next Year – Maruti To Kia

GaadiWaadi -

From Mahindra to Maruti Suzuki, Kia, and Renault, Indian and international automakers to launch five new compact SUVs by 2027

Mid-size SUVs may have been stealing the headlines since the end of last year, but compact SUVs remain the most popular segment for the high-riding body style in India. In fact, over the course of the next 12-18 months, there will be at least five new compact SUVs coming to Indian showrooms.

1. New Maruti Vitara Brezza

The Maruti Vitara Brezza, the second generation of Maruti Suzuki’s Brezza series, is nearly four years old and due for a facelift. It will get a cosmetic refresh in the coming months to stay relevant in the highly competitive segment.

The facelifted Brezza is likely to feature restyled bumpers, tweaked headlamps and tail lamps, new front grilles, and new 16-inch alloy wheels. Maruti Suzuki may use this opportunity to introduce new features such as a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, ventilated front seats, auto-dimming IRVM, and a 360º camera system.

2. Mahindra Vision.S

The Mahindra Vision.S concept showcased last August is expected to reach showrooms in its production avatar in early 2027. Expected to be positioned above the Mahindra XUV 3XO, the new model will be aimed at customers seeking a more authentic SUV character and some extra ruggedness.

The production version of the Vision.S will have a squarish shape and a high ground clearance, and some of that true SUV character will be seen in the interior as well, particularly in an upright dashboard with vertical AC vents. Mahindra will likely equip this model with features such as a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats with power adjustment on the driver’s side, a digital instrument cluster, a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Level 2 ADAS. 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines are expected to be offered at launch.

3. Next-gen Kia Sonet

Sometime early next year, possibly in April, Kia will likely launch the fully redesigned, second-generation Sonet. Spy shots have revealed the next-gen Sonet will feature a sportier and more technical design. The interior, too, is expected to be completely new, featuring a more high-tech and contemporary design.

Kia will likely offer the all-new Sonet with features such as a 12.3-inch HD digital instrument cluster, a 5-inch climate touchscreen, a 12.3-inch HD touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, front seat ventilation, power driver’s seat adjustment, and Level 2 ADAS. The company will likely launch the next-gen Sonet with the same engines and transmissions as the current model.

4. New Maruti Fronx

Maruti Fronx Hybrid

The Maruti Fronx should get a facelift in early 2027, bringing a refreshed exterior with the usual revisions to bumpers, lights, grilles, and wheels. Interior upgrades may include a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, ventilated front seats, and a rear centre armrest. The most significant upgrade would be the introduction of a series-hybrid powertrain based on the Z12E 1.2-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder petrol engine, expected to deliver a fuel economy of around 35 km/l.

5. Renault Bridger

Renault will likely launch the Bridger, its direct competitor to the production version of the Mahindra Vision.S concept, sometime in the third quarter of 2027. The Renault Bridger would also have a squarish exterior, but one that looks more mature and has a stronger road presence. Inside, too, the French SUV should be a visibly more refined product, both aesthetically and functionally.

Renault is targeting 200 mm of ground clearance, a class-leading 200 mm of rear knee room, and 400 litres of boot space for the Bridger. 17-inch wheels, the largest in the segment, are also expected. The company will likely launch this model with a 1.2-litre petrol engine in naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions.

Toyota Model Wise April 2026 Sales- Hyryder, Innova, Glanza, Fortuner

GaadiWaadi -

Innova, along with low-cost models based on Maruti Suzuki platforms, drive growth at Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) in April 2026

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) sold 30,159 cars in April 2026, which, compared to the same month last year, marked a 21% growth (April 2025: 24,833 units). The significant increase in the company’s sales was mainly owing to strong demand for the Innova and the Urban Cruiser Hyryder.

The Innova was TKM’s best-selling model in India in April 2026, but the Urban Cruiser Hyryder was very close. The company sold 9,630 units of the Innova Crysta and Innova Hycross combined last month. Compared to April 2025, this marked a 25% growth. The Urban Cruiser Hyryder registered 9,115 units in sales last month, recording a 96% year-on-year growth, the highest across the Toyota line-up.

The rest of the models in the line-up were far behind the Innova and Urban Cruiser Hyryder’s near-10,000 figures. The Glanza was third on the sales chart, with 3,360 units sold. The Maruti Baleno’s rebadged version saw a 19% year-on-year sales decline last month (April 2025: 4,132 units). The Toyota Rumion, which is similarly related to the Maruti Ertiga, registered 2,585 units in sales, which represented a 5% year-on-year growth (April 2025: 2,462 units).

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 4×4 To Likely Arrive In 2028 – All Key Details

GaadiWaadi -

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ will likely be slotted below the Fortuner in the brand’s lineup, based on the IMV 0 architecture

The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ will be one of the most significant launches from Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) in years, adding a brand-new locally manufactured original Toyota product to the line-up. However, even though it will be made in India, it is likely to be an expensive product priced at a high premium.

Featuring a body-on-frame structure and measuring 4,610 mm in length, 1,855 mm in width, and 1,890 mm in height, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ could put in the same category as the Mahindra Scorpio-N. It’s a much more compact vehicle on the inside, though, with a short wheelbase spanning 2,580 mm.

Toyota Land Cruiser FJ is expected to cost around Rs. 30 lakh (ex-showroom) in the base trim. The top configuration could easily touch Rs. 40 lakh (ex-showroom), with reports stating TKM is planning not only an ICE variant but also full-hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants.

For now, Toyota has engineered the Land Cruiser FJ with only the 2TR-FE 2.7-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, tuned to produce 164 hp and 245 Nm of torque. A 6-speed automatic transmission and a part-time 4WD system send drive to the wheels. There are rumours that Toyota plans to introduce an upgraded version of the 1GD-FTV 2.8-litre turbodiesel engine sometime in 2029.

On the outside, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ features LED headlamps, LED front and rear fog lamps, 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 265/60 R18 tyres, part-LED tail lamps, and a side-hinged tailgate with a centre-mounted spare wheel. Toyota does not offer a sunroof in the Land Cruiser FJ, although hardcore off-road enthusiasts, the model’s core target audience, are unlikely to view that as a drawback.

A semi-digital instrument cluster with a 7-inch driver information display, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and a dual-zone automatic climate control system are some of the key interior features of the Land Cruiser FJ. Seven airbags, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, Pre-Collision System, and a 360º camera system are some of the main safety features.

Tata Motors To Launch Flex Fuel Car By Early 2027

GaadiWaadi -

Tata Motors’ first car with a flex-fuel engine could be an entry-level model aimed at spurring mass adoption of the new technology

Expanding the range of its clean-energy powertrain options beyond electric and CNG, Tata Motors is planning to introduce a flex-fuel option in India. The company will be ready with its first flex-fuel car within a year.

During Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles’ Q4 FY2026 earnings conference call on 14 May, MD and CEO Shailesh Chandra revealed that the company is in advanced stages of commercialising flex-fuel technology. “We are very comfortable in terms of technology readiness”, Chandra said.

Further into the call, Chandra said that Tata Motors should be ready with its first flex-fuel car also by the end of 2026 or early 2027. He did not reveal which model would be the first to get a flex-fuel engine, but according to an earlier developments point at the Punch, already available in petrol, petrol-CNG, and electric variants.

In January 2025, Mohan Savarkar, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles’ Chief Product Officer and Vice President, told Autocar India that the timeline for commercialising the first flex-fuel engine will depend on the government’s readiness for E85 fuel rollout, but when that happens, the Punch would be the first product to receive it. Savarkar was speaking on the sidelines of Auto Expo 2025, where Tata Motors introduced a prototype of the Punch with a flex-fuel engine.

The Tata Punch Flex Fuel showcased at Auto Expo 2025 featured a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine compliant with E20-E85 ethanol fuel blends. Tata Motors had modified the fuel-injection system and the ECU, added an exhaust after-treatment system, and applied a software-based ethanol percentage detection system to modify the Punch into this flex-fuel prototype.

On 27 April, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) issued a draft proposing amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, to cover E85 and E100 ethanol fuel blends. It is seeking opinions and suggestions from the public, but has yet to announce when it will decide on this move.

In addition to Tata Motors, Maruti Suzuki and Toyota Kirloskar Motor have shown interest in introducing flex-fuel cars. With the ongoing energy crisis and the falling rupee value, the commercialisation of higher-blend ethanol fuels could be fast-tracked, pushing these companies to launch their flex-fuel cars soon.

TVS Record Highest Ever Sales Of 59 Lakh Units In FY26

GaadiWaadi -

Sales of 3.71 lakh electric units last FY show a 33 per cent improvement over the 2.79 lakh units posted in FY25 for TVS

Last mile mobility was a definitive hero in TVS Motor Company’s FY2026 results. The three-wheeler business nearly doubled its pace clocking 63 per cent growth to finish the year at 2.19 lakh units – a number that would have seemed ambitious even two years ago. It sits within a much larger outlook of a company that has grown across every category it operates in.

The annual revenue crossed Rs 47,270 crore for the first time in TVS’s history – moving 30 per cent ahead of the Rs 36,251 crore posted in FY25 and nearly 59 lakh two and three-wheelers left TVS showrooms through the year – up from 47.44 lakh units in FY25 with the growth spread across motorcycles, scooters and electric vehicles.

The motorcycle sales accounted for 27.13 lakh of those units – 24 per cent more than the 21.95 lakh sold during the same period the previous fiscal while scooters moved even faster – growing 27 per cent to 24.13 lakh units from 19.04 lakh the year before. The Apache range has played a significant role in posting impressive numbers.

Meanwhile, offerings such as the Raider 125 and Radeon have been well received by customers. As for scooters, the Jupiter and Ntorq range have led the way. The EV business has been building steadily and FY2026 proved to be a game changer. Sales of 3.71 lakh electric units endure a 33 per cent improvement over the 2.79 lakh units posted in FY25.

The cumulative ownership base for the brand now stands at over 9 lakh customers courtesy of the iQube series – the best-selling electric vehicle in the country – and the Orbiter. Profitability held up well through this expansion as operating EBITDA margin for the year came in at 12.9 per cent, 60 basis points better than FY25 while operating PBT climbed 40 per cent to Rs 4,975 crore from Rs 3,563 crore previously.

The January to March 2026 quarterly revenue hit Rs 12,808 crore – a peak the company has never touched before. Operating EBITDA margin for the quarter was 13.1 per cent compared to a normalised 12.5 per cent in the same period of FY25. The volume performance was equally good – 15.60 lakh units across two and three-wheelers, 28 per cent ahead of the 12.16 lakh units in Q4 FY25.

Within this, motorcycles added 23 per cent to reach 6.93 lakh units, scooters grew 32 per cent to 6.60 lakh units and three-wheelers surged 65 per cent to 0.60 lakh units. In addition, EV sales in Q4 alone jumped 51 per cent to 1.15 lakh units. Buoyed by the reception, the Hosur-based manufacturer is planning to invest over Rs. 3,500 crore to ramp up its production this FY.
