On a side note, since the Skoda press conference was scheduled for late on Jan 17, most of the media people were quite tired from all the walking and working. Most of us hadn’t had a chance to eat anything and the Skoda people were nice enough to empathise with us as they served some refreshments to the arriving media representatives. Even more refreshing than the satisfying bite-sized snacks was the speech from the Skoda spokesperson, who never once looked like he was reading off his cue cards; because he wasn’t. It never once felt like sitting in on a product presentation from a top executive and it was more like listening to another car lover share his passion for cars with us. The Skoda press conference was a nice change of pace for us on Day 1 of Mobility Expo after having been through a bunch of presentations from most major car brands in India.

Thank you Skoda for that experience! And for the snacks too! Now, let me do my part and talk about cars with you.

Rank 1: 2025 Kylaq

• This is the first time Skoda the Kylaq sub-4m SUV was on public display
• Even the dealers were going to receive the display car only closer to the start of delivery (Jan 27, 2025)
• The Kylaq is an exciting product from Skoda as it starts at just Rs. 7.89; for that price, it’s like buying the Kushaq but for some Rs. 3.0 lakh less
• Even as the cars sales are slowing, the Kylaq commands a 4-month waiting period
• It’s one of only a few turbo petrol cars available at a price of under Rs. 8.0 lakh
• No wonder it takes the top spot for on this list

Rank 2: 2025 Elroq

• The Elroq is the only electric car at Skoda’s pavilion in production-ready form
• What makes this car exciting is that the Skoda spokesperson confirmed that they are bringing at least one EV to India this year
• Since the Elroq was the one they chose to display at the Mobility Expo 2025, we are pretty confident that this is the car that will make it to their Indian showrooms later this year
• The Elroq will mark Skoda’s entry into the electric SUV space and you can read more about it at the link below 

Mobility Expo 2025: Skoda Elroq Revealed; To Launch 1-3 New EVs In 2025

Rank 3: Vision 7S

• Next spot goes to the futuristic Vision 7S electric SUV concept
• While we don’t expect the production version to be as exotic as the concept on display, in its early-stage concept form, it certainly looked like a showstopper and one that would make your walk to the Skoda’s pavilion worth the effort
• The Vision 7S is still at least a couple of years away from entering mass production but it does give us a peak into their future EV designs

Mobility Expo 2025: Skoda Vision 7S Concept Showcased

Rank 4: 2025 Octavia RS (VRS)

• The poppy neon-green Octavia VRS (or RS if you prefer the Skoda India’s nomenclature) was another eye candy at the Mobility Expo 2025
• The great thing about this car was not just its colour or the performance, but the fact that Skoda confirmed to us that the Octavia RS will go on sale in India in 2025
• Considering the limited demand for such high performance sedans, we should assume that it’d come as a direct import and command steep asking price considering because of the heavy import duties

Mobility Expo 2025: Skoda Octavia RS Revealed Ahead Of India Launch

Rank 5: 2025 Superb 4WD

• The Superb on display at the Skoda India’s Expo pavilion was a funny car since it’s a sedan and the car had 4WD
• We generally associate 4WD with SUVs or crossovers but seeing a sedan with 4-wheel drivetrain makes it quite unique
• It’s worth noting that being a Czech carmaker, they have to have traction in all four wheels as it snows heavily in their country; so it’s actually quite common to see all kinds of cars with 4WD in their country
• Another thing that makes it quite interesting is that the new Superb showcased at the Expo would go on sale in India sometime in 2025
• Finally, they also said that they are open to bringing back the diesel engines if there’s enough demand
• Since BS6, most carmakers have been shying away from hyping up, or even talking about diesel engines
• The European carmakers actually do have some fantastic diesel engines in their portfolio

Mobility Expo 2025: Skoda Reveal New Superb

Rank 6: 2025 Kodiaq

• Skoda didn't stop at Superb; they not only showcased the new Kodiaq but also confirmed that they would put it up on sale in India sometime in 2025
• This fact makes it the fifth car lined up for the Indian market and showcased by Skoda at the Mobility Expo 2025
• This time around, Skoda representative also confirmed that they are considering bringing the 5-seat version of the Kodiaq to widen the appeal of their SUV

Auto Expo 2025: New Skoda Kodiaq Production To Begin By End Of February

Rank 7: Kushaq Black

• Finally, we had the Kushaq Monte Carlo in stealthy black paint
• The display car not only had black paint job but also black interiors, upholstery and black exterior badging
• Other than that, there's nothing all that special about the car and that’s why we placed it quite low on this list

What Is The Lexus ROV 2 Concept?

The Lexus ROV 2 concept isn’t your typical off-roader. It’s a hydrogen-powered, open-top, luxury recreational off-highway vehicle (ROV) designed to offer a unique blend of exhilarating performance and environmental consciousness.

Its aggressive styling and robust build suggest a vehicle ready to conquer challenging terrains while still providing the refined experience synonymous with the Lexus brand.

Lexus ROV 2 Gets Distinctive Design And Features

The ROV 2 concept sports a futuristic and rugged aesthetic. Key design highlights include:

• Unique Cockpit: Emphasising the connection with nature, the ROV 2 gets an open cockpit protected by a roll cage and a removable roof panel to offer an immersive off-road experience.
• Striking Front Fascia: The front grille and headlamp design are bold and distinctive, giving the ROV 2 a strong road presence. Other standout features include a light bar on the roof and an aluminium skid plate.
• Air-Less Tyres: That’s right, the ROV 2 concept runs on air-less tyres that are immune to punctures or blowouts. This is especially useful while off-roading.   
• Exposed Suspension: The exposed suspension system not only adds to the rugged look but also showcases the vehicle’s engineering prowess.
• Luxury Touches: Despite its rugged nature, the ROV 2 doesn't skimp on luxury. The interior features premium materials and thoughtful design elements, creating a comfortable and refined environment for off-road adventures. Highlights include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, leather-wrapped assist grip for the passenger, machined aluminium shift knob, suspension seats and 4-point seatbelts. 

Check out the dimensions of the Lexus ROV 2 concept in the table below:

Lexus ROV 2 Powertrain Specs

The Lexus ROV 2 concept off-road vehicle gets a hydrogen fuel cell powertrain that highlights Lexus’ commitment to sustainable mobility. Powered by a 1L, 3-cylinder engine that runs on gaseous hydrogen, Lexus claim the ROV 2 generates zero tailpipe emissions. However, the carmaker are yet to reveal the power and torque figures of this unique engine. Power is sent to the wheels via a sequential gearbox with paddle shifters and the ROV 2 concept even boasts 2WD and 4WD with differential lock.

Will The Lexus ROV 2 Launch In India? 

The Lexus ROV 2 concept is not necessarily a preview of a production model. Instead, it serves as an exploration of future possibilities in the off-road luxury segment. It showcases Lexus’s vision for sustainable and exhilarating driving experiences, pushing the boundaries of design and technology. The ROV 2 demonstrates that off-roading can be both thrilling and environmentally conscious.

Rank 1: Urban Cruiser EV (eVitara-based Electric SUV)

• The Urban Cruiser EV, which Toyota are calling the Urban BEV Concept, was also present at the 2025 Expo
• This car takes the top spot because:
  • It’s the most exciting car expected to come from Toyota either by late 2025 or early in 2026
  • Unlike most cars on display at the expo, which are either already on sale or won’t ever hit the Indian showrooms, this one will go on sale in India
  • Moreover, this car will probably be well within the means of a large number of car buyers
  • Finally, it’s based on the Maruti e-Vitara, which created quite a lot of buzz during the unveiling of a production-ready version of the car; so some of the hype is bound to carry over to the Urban BEV as well
• Just like the eVitara, we can expect the Urban Cruiser EV to offer a little over 500km of range from the larger 61kWh battery variant
• The range with the smaller 49kWh variant is likely to be a little over 400km
• The power and torque specs are likely to be also identical to those of the e-Vitara with 144PS/174PS of power output depending on the battery pack and 192.5Nm of torque

Mobility Expo 2025: Production-Ready Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Revealed

Rank 2: X-Van (Gear Edition Only)

• The X-Van Gear concept at the Auto Expo 2025 was another interesting thing to watch
• Among the 3 X-Van versions, the one showcased at the Mobility Expo 2025 was the Gear concept
• The Core version is more family-friendly while the Tool is suitable for an active outdoorsy lifestyle
• The Gear strikes the balance of outdoor excursions and the vibe of togetherness in one
• It’s unclear if or when the X-Van will go into production
• In fact, Toyota haven’t even revealed what kind of powertrain options it will offer or even what fuel it will run on
• So, it could become an electric van, or a hybrid van or a fuel-cell version or it could offer more than one of these options
• The X-Van is likely to replace the Hi-Ace van
• To do that, it will need a liquid fuel option but if the HiAce remains on sale even after the launch of X-Van, then it could experiment with a new-generation fuel option like hydrogen fuel cell or electric

Auto Expo 2025: Toyota X-Van Gear Concept Showcased

Rank 3: Prius Flex Fuel Plug-In Hybrid

• There are 2 stand out features of the Prius Flex Fuel Plug-In Hybrid showcased at the Auto Expo 2025:

1. It can run on up to 85% ethanol mixed in petrol
2. It doesn’t need to do that as it can also charge its 13.6kWh battery from a power outlet and go up to 87km on a single charge

• This is one of the vehicles from Toyota at the Expo to convince the govt. officials that Toyota are willing to assist them in moving people away from fuel options that maximise the government’s ability to collect the highest possible tax from the car buyers and owners and stay on their good side (Also Read: Auto Expo 2025: Tata Punch Flex Fuel E100 Ethanol Showcased)

Mobility Expo 2025: Toyota Prius Flex-Fuel PHEV Showcased

Rank 4: Hilux Fuel Cell Vehicle

• The Hilux fuel cell was also present at the Expo 2025
• This is to demonstrate Toyota’s expertise and foresight into hydrogen as a future fuel for transportation
• The Hilux FCV present at the expo had a 1.2kWh battery pack and the capacity to hold up to 7.8kg of hydrogen in its 3 cylinders at a pressure of more than 10,000psi
• With a full tank, the Hilux FCV can go up to 600km
• The Hilux Fuel Cell has a max power output of 182PS and a peak torque of 300Nm; so, plenty to move a hulking pickup

Auto Expo 2025: Toyota Hilux FCEV Showcased

Rank 5: New Camry 2025

• The new Camry was also present at the Auto Expo 2025
• It has an ARAI mileage 25.49kmpl, which is right up there with an entry-level hatchback like the Swift AMT (25.75kmpl) and better than the Swift manual (24.80kmpl)
• The new Camry is a lot more sporty to help attract buyers who also prefer to drive themselves occasionally; after all, that’s where the biggest gains are: people who want a chauffeur-driven car that they can also drive themselves without looking like a chauffeur and have fun while they're driving it
• In terms of safety features, the Camry is impeccably loaded with driver knee airbag and rear side thorax airbags in addition to the usual 6 airbags we see in many mass-market cars
• The feature set also includes ADAS suite including adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go traffic assist

Rank 6: BZ4X Electric Crossover

• The BZ4X takes a lower spot than the Camry since this is not likely to go on sale in India anytime soon
• The BZ4X is an electric car from Toyota — as in, one with Toyota’s R&D
• The BZ in the name is short for Beyond Zero — as in, beyond zero emissions
• The 4 in BZ4X indicates the 4WD ability of the car and X means it’s a crossover
• This is what happens when a carmaker not interested in making EVs is forced to make an EV; even the names come out half-baked

Mobility Expo 2025: Toyota BZ4X Electric Crossover Showcased

Rank 7: Others

• In the others group, we had a bunch of cars from Toyota’s current portfolio on sale in India such as the Glanza, Crysta, Hycross, Hyryder, Rumion and Fortuner

Rank 1: Sierra (w/ 1.5L turbo petrol engine)

• The 2025 Sierra with a poppy yellow paint looked amazing at the Mobility Expo 2025
• This is the first time Tata have a Sierra at the Expo without tailpipe emissions
• The Sierra 2025 will go on sale sometime around mid-late 2025 but definitely before the festive season; even if that means bringing it out only a few days before the Diwali
• The new Sierra will get the all-new 1.5L turbo petrol engine with direct injection
• The Sierra’s turbo petrol will also end up in the Harrier and Safari
• An interesting thing to note is that the Sierra will finally get 6 parking sensors in the front and 6 around the back. That is an achievement for Tata Motors, as they currently sell a car as wide as the Safari for close to Rs. 30.0 lakh on-road with only 2 front and 2 rear parking sensors. Sometimes, trolling helps and you’re welcome: Jun 2024: Tata Sierra To Get This Feature Not Available In Any Tata Car

Auto Expo 2025: Tata Showcase Sierra ICE In Near-Production-Ready Form

Rank 2: Harrier EV (w/ 2-motor 4WD)

• The Harrier EV, which uses the 2nd-gen EV platform from Tata was also on display
• The 2025 Harrier EV will also get 2 motor option to drive all 4 wheels.
• Finally, Tata, who claim to have an enormous market share in the Indian “SUV” market, will have a 4WD to justify calling themselves an SUV maker
• Like we just said, sometimes trolling helps. Feels nice to know that we had a role in deciding the direction of a major auto manufacturer in India: Feb 2024: Tata Motors — The Only Mainstream SUV Maker With No 4WD In Portfolio — Opinion

Auto Expo 2025: Tata Showcase Harrier EV In Production-Ready Form

Rank 3: Avinya X

• What looks like an MPV is taking shape of an SUV as we get closer to the design evolution of the Avinya
• At the 2025 Mobility Expo, Tata displayed an updated version of the Avinya Concept called the Avinya X
• The X is probably supposed to signify that this is an SUV or something and the side profile did look like a curvy luxury crossover
• This is the 3rd time we’re seeing the Avinya at the Auto Expo (1st in 2020, 2nd time in 2023)
• The Avinya X will sit on a 3rd gen EV platform from Tata. You can learn more about them at the following links:

• Tata Gen 1 EV Platform Explained With Examples
• Tata Gen 2 EV Platform Explained With Examples
• Tata Gen 3 EV Platform Explained With Examples

Auto Expo 2025: Tata Avinya X Concept Showcased With Updated Design

Rank 4: Punch Flex Fuel

• The Punch Flex Fuel was there to satisfy the ‘mantriji’ and their entourage visiting the Mobility Expo
• The government wants to switch to ethanol and the Punch Flex Fuel is like Tata Motors giving their word that they will support the government with this initiative and do some of the brainwashing on their behalf as long as there’s something in it for them too. Oops! That last part was supposed to be whispered and I said it out loud.
• The special thing about the Punch Flex Fuel is that it’s, according to Tata Motors, capable of running on 100% ethanol
• And, its front-to-back dual-tone exterior with a green shade — for those unaware of the fact, painting a car green helps cut down the emissions and fuel consumption by about 8% and the Punch Flex Fuel is getting there with half green exterior. Hence the high demand of the Nexon in green colour. ;-)

Rank 5: Old Sierra

• Tata also brought the old Sierra diesel 4WD deep inside Delhi — on a flat bed, of course
• It’s interesting to see that they aren’t shying away from leaning into their history and heritage while reaping all the benefits of removing older cars from the roads
• Speaking of heritage, the new Sierra is a fantastic car but calling it a Sierra and saying that it has those genes is a lie. Seeing them side-by-side strongly reaffirmed this point. (Here’s a trolling attempt, which will probably fail: Dec 2023: It’s Not A Sierra: Leaked 2025 Tata Sierra EV Design Patent Confirms Our Fears — Opinion)
• The OG Sierra had the following features, none of which are available in the new Sierra:
  • No side-swinging boot door but a hatchback
  • No spare wheel mounted around the back
  • 4-doors instead of 2-doors, as the original Sierra
  • No 4WD option
  • A monocoque platform instead of a rugged body-on-frame
  • A 1.5L turbo petrol engine (the display car had a petrol engine)
  • No curved rear window glass

Auto Expo 2025: OG Tata Sierra Diesel Showcased

Rank 6: Tiago 2025

• Tata also showcased the updated 2025 Tiago
• It gets new colour options and it’s probably the only massmarket car to get 3 shades of a single colour; in this case, blue.
• The Tiago 2025 gets features like new flat-bottom, dual-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel with a backlit Tata logo; the one we see in the Punch EV
• It also borrows the larger 10-inch touchscreen from the Punch EV and now has wireless Android Auto and Apple Carplay
• It now gets parking sensors even in the higher variants; earlier, the Tiago’s higher variants with a rear camera missed out on parking sensors

2025 Tata Tiago Launched – New Features & Variant-Wise Prices

January 2025: Tata Tiago Petrol Variant-Wise Features

Rank 7: Tiago EV 2025

• Tata also showcased the updated 2025 Tiago EV
• The Tiago EV was another car at Tata’s Expo pavilion with a poppy yellow shade
• It too gets similar feature updates as the Tiago petrol/CNG

Rank 8: Harrier Bandipur Edition

• As usual, Tata had a bunch of “Special” editions at the auto expo
• The Bandipur edition had an exterior paint similar to that of the Kazianga edition
• Instead of a rhino mascot, these had an elephant badging on the fenders

Auto Expo 2025: Tata Nexon EV, Harrier And Safari Bandipur Editions Showcased

Rank 9: Safari Bandipur Edition

• Same changes as the Harrier Bandipur

Rank 10: Nexon EV Bandipur Edition

• Same changes as the Harrier and Safari Bandipur

Rank 11: Safari Stealth

• In terms of most dangerous cars at the Auto Expo, the Safari Stealth takes the top honours
• In addition to wearing a black exterior colour, this one also has a non-reflective matte finish, which will make it extremely difficult to see in the dark, especially with its lights turned off
• Let’s hope this one never goes on sale. But if:

1. It does go on sale
2. And, you end up buying this
3. And, you have to park it on a not-so-well-lit street
4. And, somebody rams into it or ends up scratching it with their vehicle:
   1. Please don’t ask them: “Dikhta nahi kya?” It’s called “Stealth Edition” for a reason.
   2. Instead, apologise for having damaged the other person’s car with your nearly-invisible car.
   3. And, don’t hope to achieve perfect finish while removing minor scratches. You can’t just buff out scratches on a matte finish.

Rank 12: Harrier EV Stealth

• Same changes as the Safari Stealth with matte black exterior colour and dark interiors

Rank 13: Punch EV

• After Tiago EV and Sierra, Punch EV was the 3rd Tata car at the Auto Expo with a different, but equally poppy shade of yellow
• Other than that, there’s nothing special about this car
• On the one hand, Tata are working with such high-viz exterior colours that enhance road safety and on the other, there is black (called Dark Edition) and matte black (called Stealth Edition)

Rank 14: Nexon CNG Red Dark

• Speaking of invisible and unsafe editions, the Nexon CNG Red Dark was also on display
• The Nexon CNG currently doesn’t get Red Dark edition

Rank 15: Curvv ICE

• Nothing special about this car. This was just to display Tata’s recent additions to their portfolio

Rank 16: Curvv EV

• Same with the Curvv EV. Nothing new. Just a portfolio demonstration.

Rank 17: Punch CNG

• Same with Punch CNG. Portfolio display.

Rank 18: Nexon EV Red Dark

• And same with Nexon EV Red Dark.

Rank 1: Creta Electric

• Hyundai used the Auto Expo 2025 as a platform to launch the 2025 Creta Electric.
• The Creta Electric gets 2 battery pack options – 42kWh and 51.4kWh.
• The base Creta Electric with 42kWh battery pack is priced at Rs. 18 lakh (ex-showroom).

Auto Expo 2025: Hyundai Creta Electric Launched At Rs. 18 Lakh

Rank 2: Creta Flex Fuel

• Considering the government’s interest in creating a market for the bio-ethanol, there’s pressure and/or an urge to impress govt. officials.
• So, some carmakers are showcasing ethanol-based cars at the expo.
• The Creta Flex Fuel is something like that and it can run on up to 100% concentration of ethanol in petrol. The current petrol sold in the country contains 20% ethanol.
• The Creta Flex Fuel is powered by Hyundai’s 1.0L turbo petrol engine found in the Venue and i20.
• If the government mandates manufacturers to offer flex fuel vehicles, we could expect flex fuel variants of not just the Creta but also the Venue and i20 as well.
• The launch timeline for this car doesn’t exist right now. And if the total cost of ownership for ethanol doesn’t come significantly down, then the launch timeline will probably remain sometime in the future for the foreseeable future.

Auto Expo 2025: Hyundai Creta Flex Fuel w/ 1.0L Turbo Petrol Showcased

Rank 3: Staria

• Hyundai revealed the Staria MPV, a premium people-mover, at the Auto Expo 2025..
• Similar in size to the 2025 Kia Carnival, the Staria highlights Hyundai’s focus on spaciousness and versatility.
• Large glass areas and sliding rear doors enhance practicality and visibility.
• The interior of the 2025 Staria features a minimalist dashboard design and can accommodate up to 11 passengers in a 4-row configuration. 
• Hyundai also offer 7- and 9-seater versions globally. 
• The 7-seater configuration includes “Relaxation” seats in the second row, offering electronic reclining and sliding function for increased cargo space. 
• The 9-seater version features swivel functionality for the second-row seats.
• Key features of the 2025 Staria MPV from Hyundai include
  • Up to 7 airbags
  • 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system
  • Digital driver’s display
  • 64-colour ambient lighting
  • Optional Bose sound system
  • Rear parking camera
  • ADAS
• The Hyundai Staria is powered by a choice of 2.2L diesel engine, a 3.5L V6 normal petrol and a 1.6L petrol hybrid engine.
• Hyundai have not confirmed an India launch for the Staria yet.
• If launched, it will compete with the Kia Carnival and the upcoming MG M9 MPVs.

Rank 4: Ioniq 9

• Hyundai also showcased their flagship electric SUV, the Ioniq 9, at Auto Expo 2025.
• The 3-row electric SUV offers a claimed range of 620km.
• The Ioniq 9 is offered with a large 110.3kWh battery pack.
• Hyundai offer 2 variants – Performance and Long Range.
• The Ioniq 9 Long Range gets AWD and RWD drivetrain options while the Performance is only available with AWD.
• An official India launch is yet to be confirmed.

Auto Expo 2025: Hyundai Ioniq 9 Electric SUV Revealed

Rank 5 and 6: E3W and E4W Concepts

• Hyundai and TVS Motor Company are exploring a collaboration to develop electric 3-wheelers and micro 4-wheelers for the Indian market.
• The 2 brands revealed the E3W and E4W concept vehicles at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025.
• The E3W concept reimagines the traditional auto-rickshaw for various applications, including passenger transport, logistics, and emergency response. 
• The E3W’s design prioritises safety and practicality with enhanced collision protection, a flat floor design, and a long wheelbase. 
• Hyundai is considering features like heat-resistant gloss black roof paint to reduce interior temperatures and water-resistant cabin materials to withstand India's diverse climate.
• The E4W micro-4-wheeler concept resembles an electric rickshaw but features 4 wheels and a wider windshield. 
• It is designed for urban environments and focuses on manoeuvrability and functionality. Notably, both concepts offer wheelchair accessibility.
• The potential partnership between Hyundai and TVS aims to address last-mile connectivity challenges in India with innovative and sustainable solutions.

Hyundai, TVS Explore Partnership For Electric Micro-Mobility Solutions

Rank 7: Nexo Fuel Cell

• The Nexo is another car with a futuristic powertrain technology
• It runs on Hydrogen and uses fuel cell to convert it into electricity while spewing water into the atmosphere
• It first went on sale in 2018 and the car is yet to get any notable improvements as the technology didn’t take off
• These points make it far less exciting than some of the other cars at Hyundai’s Mobility Expo pavillion as they have a higher probability of making it to Indian Hyundai showroom
• As usual, Hyundai took this opportunity to showcase their diversified powertrain options and their expertise in fuel-cell technology

Auto Expo 2025: Hyundai Showcase Nexo Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Vehicle

Rank 8: Ioniq 5

• Just like the Nexo, the Ioniq 5 was another one of the less interesting cars at the Hyundai pavilion
• If the Ioniq 5 at the Mobility Expo had a dual-motor setup, that would have been something exciting, at least from the powertrain side but the one on display was the same as the one on sale in India for about 2 years
• Hence, the Ioniq 5 takes the last spot on this list

Rank 1: e Vitara

• Maruti Suzuki focused all of their energy in promoting their upcoming e Vitara electric SUV.
• They revealed the production version of the e-Vitara at the Auto Expo.
• The car gets up to 61kWh battery pack option with more than 500km of range.
• Unlike the Creta Electric and ZS EV, eVitara gets an EV-specific platform.
• Among notable features of the eVitara are:
  • 7 airbags as standard (including driver knee airbag)
  • 40-20-40 split rear seat back with slide and recline function
  • Full ADAS suite of features including adaptive cruise control
• Maruti Suzuki intend to have 1500+ service centres in 1000+ cities ready to support their eVitara customers with DC fast chargers and maintenance/breakdown-related services.
• More than the car itself, it’s this commitment to supporting their EV customers that makes their cars more attractive than others on the market.
• Bookings and launch timeline is currently unclear but we expect them to price it around Rs. 18.0 lakh to Rs. 23.0 lakh (ex-showroom).
• The price announcement should come sometime in the summers.

Rank 2: WagonR Flex Fuel

• Considering the government’s interest in creating a market for the bio-ethanol, there’s pressure and/or an urge to impress govt. officials.
• So, some carmakers are showcasing ethanol-based cars at the expo.

• The WagonR Flex Fuel is something like that and it can run on up to 85% concentration of ethanol in petrol. The current petrol contains 20% ethanol.
• Other than that, there’s nothing new in this car and it’s not worth checking out. Besides, with nearly a dozen e-Vitaras on the Maruti expo booth. So, you probably won’t even notice the WagonR flex fuel.
• The launch timeline for this car doesn’t exist right now. And if the total cost of ownership for ethanol doesn’t come significantly down, then the launch timeline will probably remain sometime in the future for the foreseeable future.

Rank 3: Dzire Urban Luxe Edition

• Maruti Suzuki showcased an accessorised version of the Dzire called the Urban Luxe Edition. 
• The Dzire Urban Luxe Edition stands apart from the regular variants thanks to the addition of chrome trim accessories on the outside. 
• It even featured quilted leatherette upholstery on the inside. 
• We expect Maruti Suzuki to launch the Dzire Urban Luxe Edition in limited quantities in the near future. Meanwhile, you can check out the Chromico and Copperico accessory package for the 2025 Dzire by clicking the link below.

Rank 4: Invicto Executive Concept

• Unlike the standard Invicto MPV from Maruti Nexa, the Invicto Executive Concept features a beige cabin theme, giving it a more upmarket feel inside the cabin.

• Like the Dzire Urban Luxe Edition, Maruti Suzuki could launch the Invico Executive Edition in limited numbers.
