Hyundai Creta EV, new-gen Duster, Kia Syros and Maruti e Vitara are some of the most anticipated cars scheduled for a launch next year
The automotive market in India is expanding at a rapid rate and in line with this, car manufacturers are actively working to introduce new cars. Multiple new models are lined up for a launch next year. In this article, we will look at the top 5 brand new cars coming next year.
1. Hyundai Creta EV
Hyundai is all set to launch the Creta EV in the Indian market early next year, most likely at the 2025 Auto Expo. Spied testing multiple times on Indian roads, the electric Creta will share the design with the latest facelift model, albeit with EV-specific touches like a blanked-off front grille, EV badging inside out and aero-efficient alloy wheels.
The powertrain will use a 45 kWh battery pack with a power output rated at 138 bhp and 255 Nm peak torque. This setup is a straight life-off from the base-spec version of the latest generation Kona EV sold in the international markets.

The upcoming Kia Syros will get both ICE and electric powertrains, paired to a front-wheel-drive setup.
