1 & 2. 7-Seater Maruti Grand Vitara & Toyota Hyryder:

In H1, 2025, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder three-row models are anticipated to go on sale in India. Like their five-seater brothers, these vehicles are anticipated to include 1.5L mild-hybrid and strong-hybrid gasoline engine options. Due to their wide variety of availability, transmission options will probably include both manual and automatic systems.

Significant changes will be made to the exterior design to set the three-row models apart from their five-seater siblings. It’s unclear if the wheelbase will be increased, but the overall length is anticipated to grow to make room for third-row seats. Level 2 ADAS is one of the new features and technologies that these SUVs are probably going to get.

3. and 4. Seven-seater Nissan and Renault SUVs:

The Bigster, which was just introduced to international markets, may serve as the model for these future SUVs. The Indian variants of the Bigster might continue to use the engines that will power the upcoming Duster, even though it provides a variety of powertrain options, including hybrids.

Renault and Nissan intend to make a big comeback by reentering the midsize internal combustion engine (ICE) sector with new models in 2025, as several automakers shift their focus to midsize electric SUVs. It is anticipated that the upcoming Renault Duster and its Nissan equivalent would have compact turbocharged engines and be built on the highly customized CMF-B chassis specifically for the Indian market.
