Tata, Renault & Nissan to Launch New Midsize SUVs in 2026

Maruti Suzuki’s SUV Masterplan: Two New Premium Models are Coming

Maruti Suzuki is seriously stepping up its game in the SUV market. After adding popular models like the Grand Vitara and Fronx, the company is now getting ready to launch two new premium SUVs in India. This is a bold move to grab a larger piece of the growing and highly profitable midsize SUV segment. Both models are expected to hit the market early next year.

Introducing the All-New Tata Sierra

After years of waiting, the Tata Sierra is finally coming back. This new model will be based on an advanced platform that can handle both ICE (petrol/diesel) and electric powertrains. The Sierra is expected to be one of Tata’s most advanced cars, with a triple dashboard display, a luxury four-seat lounge option, and even AWD capability on the electric version. It’s designed to be a true market disruptor.
