SUVs are currently the talk of the town, and automakers are using this popularity to launch new models around the world, not just in India. One of the reasons the sub Rs. 15 lakh group is one of the highest selling is that, in the Indian context, pricing is a major factor in new automobile purchases.
Thus, this post is essential reading for anyone in the similar financial situation who intends to purchase an SUV in the upcoming year. Let’s examine the popular SUVs that will be released in 2019 and cost less than Rs. 15 lakh.
5-Door Mahindra Thar:
The Thar, undoubtedly the most well-liked SUV name in the nation, will receive a 5-door version in 2024. The Thar 5-Door, which is anticipated to have a starting price well around Rs. 15 lakh, will use the Scorpio N’s platform and feature some updated design elements over the existing model. The SUV will also have a ton of new features, including an electric sunroof, LED headlamps, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, and more, according to the leaked spy photos. The Thar 3-door’s powertrain will be retained, presumably in a more advanced configuration.
Facelift for the Hyundai Creta:
The Creta Facelift, one of the most anticipated models in the Indian market, is set to debut in early 2024. A much-needed mid-life update is now required for the 2020 premiere of the second generation model, which has begun to age. Anticipated to have a revised look, the centerpiece will be the upgraded feature package, including 360-degree parking camera and ADAS, that will raise the mid-size SUV to the level of its competitors. The pricing will increase somewhat over the existing model, but the chassis and powertrain will remain unchanged.
Tata Curvv:
Next year will see the introduction of the Tata Curvv, an SUV that will initially be offered with an electric powertrain before receiving an ICE version. Displayed at the 2023 Auto Expo in its almost-production form, the Curvv will adhere to the brand’s most recent design thinking, which we have previously observed in the redesigned Nexon.
The package will include a new 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine that is presently under development, capable of producing 170 horsepower and 280 Nm of peak torque, as well as an electric drivetrain with a stated range of about 400 kilometers. During launch, the 1.5-liter turbo diesel variant might also be available.
