Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra, Toyota, Kia, Jeep, Ford, Skoda, and MG are among the manufacturers preparing to introduce new seven-seater cars in India by the end of the next year. These vehicles are designed to meet the increasing demand for roomy SUVs and MPVs that are ideal for families.

1. MG Gloster Facelift:

The MG Gloster facelift, which will be available in a few months, will improve the car’s premium appeal with a number of minor exterior and interior changes. Its current engine options are expected to stay the same, even if cosmetic improvements will update its appearance.

2. Jeep Meridian Facelift:

The redesigned Jeep Meridian, which will have a mid-cycle update with various exterior and interior improvements, is anticipated to make its debut in late 2024. Most notably, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) will now be installed, greatly increasing its tech appeal. There will be exterior modifications such as a revamped grille, new alloy wheels, and modified front and back bumpers.

3. New Ford Endeavour:

The fourth generation Ford Endeavour/Everest is already on sale in the international markets for quite a while now and it could be heading to India as well. Ford has confirmed recommencing production at its Tamil Nadu plant and if it decides to reenter the domestic market, the new Endeavour could be an apt choice.

4&5. 7-Seater Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara & Toyota Hyryder:

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder three-row models will be arriving in shops in H1 2025. With an extra row of chairs, they will appeal to more potential customers. There will be noticeable changes to the outside and inside as well as a more upscale equipment list.

6&7. Mahindra XUV.e8 & XUV.e9:

Next year, India will host the launch of the production-spec XUV.e series. The INGLO platform will serve as the foundation for both the XUV.e8 and XUV.e9, with the latter just being the coupe variant of the former. These zero-emission SUVs may be offered with two battery choices and have many similarities with the ICE XUV700.

8 & 9. Carens EV & Kia Carens Facelift:

Possibly based on the Carens, will launch its first mass-market EV in India the following year. With a 450–500 km driving range on a single charge, it will be positioned in the midsize market with the goal of luring family-oriented clients. Midway through 2025, an update for the IC-engineered Carens is also scheduled.

10. New Skoda Kodiaq:

Several times, the second-generation Skoda Kodiaq has been seen being tested on Indian land. In 2025, it will be unveiled with a plethora of internal and external changes, a more sophisticated feature set, and a broader platform as its foundation. No changes to the powertrain are anticipated, though.
