New 2nd Generation Hyundai Venue Coming Soon

The Electric Kia Syros Is On Its Way
Kia is planning to launch an electric version of its popular Sonet SUV, likely to be called the Syros EV. It should arrive by March 2026. It will look very similar to the regular petrol Sonet but will be built on a special platform for electric cars.
It might use the same battery technology as the Hyundai Inster, offering a driving range of around 300 to 355 kilometers on a single charge. This will make it a great option for city driving and even some weekend trips. The expected price is between Rs. 14 to 20 lakh.
A New Small Hyundai Crossover Based on the Bayon
Hyundai will add another small SUV to its lineup around mid-2026. It will be based on a global model called the Bayon and will be sized between the tiny Exter and the slightly bigger Venue. It will be built on the same platform as the i20 hatchback.
This new crossover will likely come with advanced safety features (ADAS) and will use a 1.2-liter turbo petrol engine with mild hybrid technology for better fuel efficiency. This will be a great choice for those who want something bigger than an Exter but more affordable than a Venue.
The Hyundai Inster EV Enters the Market
By the end of 2026, Hyundai will launch its all-new electric SUV, the Inster. It will be made right here in India. This car is designed to be a stylish and practical electric vehicle for everyone.
Globally, it comes with two battery options, giving a range of about 300 km or 355 km. It will support fast charging, meaning you can charge the battery quickly at public stations. This will be a very important car for Hyundai’s electric future in India.

Mahindra’s New Vision S SUV
Mahindra has shown several exciting concept cars, and the Vision S is one of the first to be tested on roads. It is expected to launch in 2027 and will be less than 4 meters long. The design looks both retro and modern at the same time.
It will be built on Mahindra’s new INGLO platform. This new platform is very flexible, meaning the Vision S could be launched with petrol or diesel engines first, and later get hybrid and electric versions.
The Mahindra Vision X Joins the Lineup
Also coming in 2027 is the Mahindra Vision X. Like the Vision S, it will be a compact SUV under 4 meters but with a different body style. Many believe it will eventually replace the popular XUV 3XO.
It will share its platform with the Vision S. Mahindra has not yet shared details about the engines, but we can expect regular petrol/diesel, hybrid, and maybe even electric options to be available.
The Next-Generation Tata Nexon
The Tata Nexon will be ten years old in 2027, making it the perfect time for a completely new model. The next-generation Nexon, known by the codename ‘Garud’, is already in development.
It will get a major update in its looks, both outside and inside. However, the trusted petrol and CNG engines are likely to continue. With the growing interest in hybrid cars, Tata might also introduce a hybrid version to make the new Nexon even more fuel-efficient.

Most importantly, it will come with Level 2 ADAS, a suite of advanced safety features that can help the driver avoid accidents. Kia is also testing an all-electric version of the Sonet, which should launch around the same time, giving customers a zero-emission choice.
