In 2025, brands like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and Skoda are expected to introduce new sub-four-metre SUVs in India
The Indian automotive market is gearing up for a fierce battle in 2025, with Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and Skoda planning to introduce new compact SUVs. As the segment witnesses a surge in popularity, these automakers aim to strengthen their positions and attract diverse consumer preferences:
1. Skoda Kylaq:
While the base price of the Skoda Kylaq is already out, the entire price list will be revealed next month in India. The compact SUV will be built on the localised MQB A0 IN architecture shared with the Kushaq and Slavia. It derives power from the familiar 1.0L three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, paired with six-speed MT or automatic transmission options.
2. New Hyundai Venue:
By the middle of next year, Hyundai is set to launch the second generation Venue with production beginning at the recently acquired Talegaon facility, previously owned by GM. Referred to internally as the Q2Xi, the 2025 Hyundai Venue will likely feature significant design and feature updates, although no major mechanical changes are expected.

5. Maruti Suzuki Fronx Facelift:
The refreshed Maruti Suzuki Fronx is reportedly set to launch by mid-2025 and may introduce a much-awaited strong hybrid petrol engine. While Maruti Suzuki has acknowledged working on a hybridized engine, it has yet to confirm an official release timeline.
