The EV market segment is heating up with tons of new launches slated for this year
In this post, we are discussing the top 45 cars that will mark their presence at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. This is a huge event and boost for the Indian automobile industry. Companies demonstrate their latest technology and cars along with future concepts which is great for the viewers to see what is going on behind the scenes. In addition to showcasing futuristic tech and vehicles, there are also car launches and price announcements. Keeping all that in mind, we are exploring the top 15 cars that we will experience at the upcoming Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 slated to be held in New Delhi from January 17 to January 22, 2025.
Maruti Suzuki Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Maruti Suzuki e Vitara
Let us commence with the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. It is the first EV from the Japanese auto giant. Maruti teased it a few days ago. Also, it has already been showcased in real life in some international markets. We know a few specifications already. The electric SUV will be based on the brand’s new HEARTECT-e platform with two battery pack options – a 49 kWh or a 61 kWh. The power and torque figures range between 142 hp / 189 Nm to 172 hp / 189 Nm and 181 hp / 300 Nm (AWD). In the all-wheel-drive configuration, the EV will utilize Suzuki’s trademark ALLGRIP-e technology by distributing torque where it is needed the most. Other bits include a 180 mm ground clearance and a weight between 1,702 kg and 1,899 kg. Note that there will also be a Toyota counterpart. Apart from that, it carries a modern design language with tons of rugged elements. Finally, the cabin will boast loads of new-age tech and convenience amenities to pamper the occupants.
| Maruti Suzuki e Vitara | Specs |
| Battery | 49 kWh and 61 kWh |
| Power | 142 hp – 181 hp |
| Torque | 189 Nm – 300 Nm |
| Drivetrain | 2WD and 4WD |
| Platform | HEARTECT-e |
| Ground Clearance | 180 mm |
| Weight | 1,702 kg and 1,899 kg |
| Expected Launch | H1 2025 |
| Expected Price | Rs 22 lakh to Rs 25 lakh |
Maruti Grand Vitara 7-seater
We will also most likely witness the 7-seater version of the Maruti Grand Vitara at the upcoming event. Note that Grand Vitara is among the most successful mid-size SUVs in the country. It challenges the leadership of Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. It is available with mild hybrid and strong hybrid tech to cater to all sorts of buyers. Also, the latest tech and convenience amenities are enough to draw new customers in. However, a more practical 7-seat iteration will ensure that it rivals the likes of the Kia Carens, MG Hector Plus, Tata Safari and Hyundai Alcazar. It will most likely share the powertrain and transmission options with the regular Grand Vitara. Note that there will also be a Toyota counterpart to the 7-seater Maruti Grand Vitara.
Maruti Swift Twin-Cylinder CNG
We have seen in recent times that carmakers have been introducing the twin-cylinder technology in their CNG cars. Until now, CNG cars used to have one large cylinder to store CNG which eats up a huge chunk of usable boot space. That diminishes the practicality and storage which is a huge compromise. However, in the last few years, carmakers have devised a setup where two smaller cylinders are used to store the gas. This leads to them being able to fit underneath the boot floor, leaving a large boot compartment free for the luggage of the occupants. Hyundai and Tata Motors already use this technology in their CNG cars. We reckon, Maruti Swift will also get that.
Maruti Concept Cars
Apart from the aforementioned products, we also know that Maruti Suzuki often comes up with special edition models of its existing cars. For instance, during the launch of the latest 4th-generation Dzire, it showcased two specific editions – Chromico and Copperico. Similarly, we can see such accessorized iterations of regular cars from Maruti Suzuki just to grab the attention of the potential customers.
Hyundai Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Hyundai Creta EV
Next up, we have the Hyundai Creta EV. It is the electric iteration of the ICE Creta. Since the competition in this segment is immensely fierce, Hyundai was missing a worthy rival. Hence, it decided to leverage the popularity associated with the Creta moniker. In fact, the electric SUV has already been spotted testing in India in the last few weeks. Unfortunately, the details pertaining to specifications are scarce. Still, we expect it to carry tons of tech functionalities including dual displays (one for the driver’s instrument cluster and one for infotainment), Level 2 ADAS, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera, and more. On the outside, it will borrow most elements from the Creta in terms of design but will also bear a few distinct components to set it apart from the ICE model.
| Hyundai Creta EV | Specs |
| Expected Launch | H1 2025 |
| Expected Price | Rs 17 lakh to Rs 24 lakh |
2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5
The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is a massively popular EV from the Korean auto giant not just in India, but across the world. In many markets, it has impressed the critics and customers alike. Remember, the 2025 version of the Ioniq 5 has already been launched in some international markets. It bears the new 4th-generation 84 kWh battery pack replacing the 77 kWh unit. Hence, there is an improvement in the range figures. This model also graces the performance-focused Ioniq 5 N. Apart from that, there will be the addition of some new features.
Hyundai Ioniq 9
The next vehicle on this list of new cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 is the Hyundai Ioniq 9. It is the flagship model from the Korean auto giant. In fact, Hyundai recently showcased it at the LA Auto Show late last year. It represents the best that Hyundai has to offer globally. The 3-row electric SUV comes with a 110.3 kWh battery pack which is good for a WLTP range of 620 km on a single charge. The power and torque figures range from 217 PS / 350 Nm to 435 PS / 700 Nm, respectively. With a 350 kW DC fast charger, the battery juices up in just 24 minutes from 10% to 80%. It supports vehicle-to-load (V2L) and 400-volt / 800-volt multi-charging capabilities. In the most aggressive settings, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h comes up in just 5.2 seconds.
Tata Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Tata Harrier EV and Safari EV
Then there are the Tata Harrier EV and Safari EV on this list as well. Harrier and Safari are the flagship models from the Indian automaker. Moreover, the electric iterations of these two have been spied testing on our roads for many months now. In essence, the Safari is the 7-seat iteration of the Harrier. In fact, at previous auto expo events, we even got a glimpse of the electric SUV. Still, Tata Motors has been tight-lipped about the exact specifications. Going by how premium the regular ICE model is, we can expect the utmost modern-day amenities to woo the customers. Talking about powertrain options, the battery size could be over 60 kWh of capacity with single-motor 2WD or dual-motor AWD configurations. It will rival the upcoming electric variant of the Mahindra XUV700 called the XEV 7e. We are expecting a price tag of around Rs 30 lakh.
| Specs | Tata Harrier EV |
| Battery | 60 kWh |
| Range | 500 km |
| Drivetrain | 2WD / AWD |
| Expected Price (starting) | Rs 30 lakh |
| Expected Launch | H2 2024 |
Tata Sierra EV
On this list of the top 20 cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, the Tata Sierra EV is the next product. Tata Motors aims to leverage the legendary status associated with the Sierra moniker in India since the 1990s. Essentially, it will be the new flagship electric SUV from the Indian auto giant. We have already got glimpses of the Tata Sierra EV at the Auto Expo last year. It bears an attractive exterior styling with a sleek front fascia with an LED light bar which runs the width of the SUV and culminates on either side in LED DRLs which double up as turn signals, while the main headlamp cluster is located down below. Moreover, the front section even contains a sporty bumper with a rugged skid plate. The side section carries elegant alloy wheels, flush-fitting door handles, side body cladding, pronounced wheel arches and a boxy silhouette. We are expecting a 60 kWh battery pack with a range of approximately 500 km on a single charge. Note that it will also come in petrol and diesel avatars.
| Tata Sierra EV | Specs (exp.) |
| Launch | May 2025 |
| Price | Rs 25 lakh – Rs 35 lakh |
| Specs | EV and ICE |
Tata Sumo
Interestingly, the Tata Sumo moniker has also been in the news online in the last few weeks. Some sources tell us that the Indian automobile giant might be thinking about introducing the Sumo in our market in some form. This could be a unique SUV in addition to the Harrier and Safari. Perhaps, the aims with the Sumo could be to offer something more rugged which is in line with its image. As a matter of fact, we also had some automobile artists come up with enticing virtual rendition of what the SUV could look like. Hence, I am specifically intrigued by the prospect of brining back the iconic moniker in a modern avatar. However, the details pertaining to this information are extremely scarce at the moment. Still, I will keep an eye out for a Tata Sumo at the auto expo.
Tata Altroz EV
We have been reporting about the arrival of the Tata Altroz EV for a long time now. Altroz is a popular premium hatchback which is available with powerful engines and the latest tech and convenience amenities. On the outside, it will share most elements with the regular ICE version. Also, since the Tata Punch EV is a closely related to the Altroz in terms of size and dimensions, it could share the powertrains, battery, etc. with the Punch EV. Also, we might see addition of many new features in accordance with the latest trends.
| Tata Altroz EV | Specs (exp.) |
| Expected Launch | H2 2025 |
| Expected Price | Rs 10 lakh – Rs 15 lakh |
| Specs | EV |
Kia Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Kia EV6
The Korean auto giant has been enjoying a lot of success with the EV6 across numerous international markets in recent times. Note that the EV6 facelift is currently on sale abroad. However, in India, we still have the pre-facelift model. Therefore, at the auto expo, we are expecting the facelift Kia EV6 to make appearance. It comes with a few exterior upgrades and added functionalities inside the cabin. Moreover, it will even get a bigger battery pack just like the new Ioniq 5. It will be an 84 kWh unit which will lead to a slight increase in the range.
| Specs | Kia EV6 |
| Platform | E-GMP |
| Battery | 77.4 kWh |
| Power | 229 PS – 325 PS |
| Torque | 350 Nm – 605 Nm |
| Range | 528 km (WLTP) |
| Acc. (0-100 km/h) | 5.2 seconds |
| Drivetrain | RWD / AWD |
Kia Syros
The recently launched Kia Syros will also be present at the auto expo in Delhi in the coming days. Syros is a premium compact SUV which borrows a lot of elements from the Seltos. Also, it is, in essence, the more premium alternative to the Sonet. The in-cabin amenities are better than any other compact SUV in the country. Also, the powertrain options include a peppy turbo petrol mill along with the familiar 1.5-litre diesel. It is among the handful of cars in this category with a diesel engine. The bookings are already underway. The price details of the entire range will surface at the event.
| Specs | Kia Syros |
| Engine | 1.0L Turbo Petrol / 1.5L Turbo Diesel |
| Power | 120 PS / 116 PS |
| Torque | 172 Nm / 250 Nm |
| Transmission | 6MT & 7DCT / 6MT & 6AT |
| Boot Space | 465L (w/ rear seat pushed forward) |
Kia EV9
The recently launched Kia EV9 will also be on display at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. Note that it is the flagship model from the Korean auto giant in the world. It offers the latest and the best that Kia has to offer. In fact, it boasts a colossal 99.8 kWh battery pack which results in 384 PS and 700 Nm of peak power and torque, propelling the large electric SUV from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 5.3 seconds. There are two electric motors for an all-wheel-drive configuration. The interior is full of ultra-tech amenities. In India, it comes in a single fully-loaded trim which will set you back by a whopping Rs 1.30 Crore.
| Specs | Kia EV9 |
| Platform | E-GMP |
| Battery | 99.8 kWh |
| Power | 384 PS |
| Torque | 700 Nm |
| Range | 561 km (ARAI MIDC) |
| Acc. (0-100 km/h) | 5.3 seconds |
| Drivetrain | AWD |
Kia Carens Facelift and EV
Another intriguing product from Kia will be the Carens facelift and electric version. Note that Carens has been immensely successful in India ever since its launch. However, it has been due for an update for a while now. On top of that, there were also some reports about an electric iteration of the Carens. We are certain that we will get some details with regard to both these at the event. I must admit Kia is going to be a huge visitor-magnate at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025.
Kia Carnival
Kia will also showcase its Carnival premium luxury MPV at the auto expo. It is one of the most luxurious vehicles in this price range. In fact, that is the reason why we see so many celebrities opt for it in India. The latest-generation Carnival was launched in our market a few months ago. In fact, Kia has already delivered an impressive 400 units of the Carnival Limousine within 2 months of starting the deliveries. That is quite a chunky number for a car which retails for over Rs 75 lakh in India. That is a testament to how compelling the proposition is.
| Specs | Kia Carnival |
| Engine | 2.2L Turbo Diesel |
| Power | 190 hp |
| Torque | 441 Nm |
| Transmission | 8AT |
Mahindra Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Mahindra BE 6e
We will also see the Mahindra BE 6e at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. It has already been showcased for our market but the price announcement is awaited. It uses Mahindra’s global modular and scalable EV platform called INGLO. There are two battery packs on offer – 59 kWh and 79 kWh with ARAI-claimed range figures of 535 km and 682 km (550 km on WLTP), respectively. The power and torque outputs range from 228 hp / 380 Nm for the smaller battery to 281 hp / 380 Nm for the larger one, respectively. This allows a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration of 6.7 seconds in the most sporty settings. The EV boasts a ground clearance of 207 mm and a boot capacity of 455 litres at the rear and 45 litres at the front (frunk). We only know that it will start at Rs 18.90 lakh, ex-showroom excluding the cost of the charger and its installation. However, the entire details of the price will emerge at the auto expo.
| Specs | Mahindra BE 6e |
| Battery | 59 kWh & 79 kWh |

Mahindra XEV 9e
Using the same platform as the BE 6e, we will also know the price range of the XEV 9e. It is, essentially, the electric coupe version of the XUV700. It is available with two batteries with BYD’s Blade Cell technology with LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) chemistry – 59 kWh and 79 kWh. The MID ranges are 542 km and 656 km, respectively. The power and torque figures are 286 hp and 380 Nm with the larger battery and 231 hp and 380 Nm with the smaller unit, respectively. Using a 175 kW DC fast charger, the bigger battery can be charged up from 20% to 80% in just 20 minutes. When harnessing the entire power, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h comes up in just 6.8 seconds. The starting price is Rs 21.90 lakh without charger and installation.
| Specs | Mahindra XEV 9e |
| Battery | 59 kWh & 79 kWh |
| Range | 542 km & 656 km |
| Power | 231 hp & 286 hp |
| Torque | 380 Nm |
| DC Fast Charging | 20 mins (20%-80% w/ 175 kW) |
| Acceleration (0-100 km/h) | 6.8 seconds |
| Ground Clearance | 207 mm |
Mahindra XEV 7e
We recently spotted the electric iteration of the Mahindra XUV700 testing on the Indian roads as well. Note that this differs from the XEV 9e in that it will carry almost the same non-coupe body shape as the regular XUV700. Hence, the exterior styling will be a lot similar to the XUV700. However, the interior cabin will incorporate a few changes that will alter the overall appearance of the vehicle. This includes things like a triple display – a digital instrument cluster, an infotainment display and a passenger display. It remains to be seen what kind of battery pack and specifications it will boast. Still, we can expect single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD configurations.
| Specs (exp.) | Mahindra XEV 7e |
| Expected Launch | H1 2025 |
| Expected Price | Rs 30 lakh |
Mahindra Thar.e
We might also get a glimpse of the Mahindra Thar.e at the upcoming event. Note that it is the electric iteration of the regular Thar. However, in the electric guise, Mahindra had showcased a completely different aesthetic configuration and even more impressive capabilities last year. The exterior look rugged and purposeful with a combination of old-school butch demeanour and new-age features. It will utilize a modified INGLO architecture known as P1, bidding farewell from the ladder-frame chassis as on the current SUV. It might get the option of 60 kWh or an 80 kWh battery pack. Needless to mention, it will draw power from two electric motors for a 4×4 drivetrain lending it immense off-roading capabilities. Let us see if we are able to sequester more details this time around.
| Expected Specs | Mahindra Thar Electric |
| Drivetrain | AWD |
| Battery | 60 kWh and 80 kWh |
| Expected Launch | 2026 |
| Expected Price | Rs 20 lakh |
MG Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
MG Cyberster
Shifting our focus to MG, the Chinese-owned British car marque will launch its Cyberster electric sportscar at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. Note that it has already been on offer in many international markets across the globe. Its main attraction is its exterior styling making it one of the best-looking EVs on the planet. Furthermore, we are also expecting a relatively modest price tag in comparison to other sports cars from the legacy luxury carmakers. On the inside, it offers modern amenities like 2 Infotainment Screens and 1 Driver’s Instrument Cluster, Super-sport Mode for Racing, Powered Seats with Memory Function, Alcantara Leather, Retractable Roof, Ambient Lighting, Frameless Windows, Premium Bose Audio System, etc. Furthermore, there is a 77 kWh battery pack which sends power to electric motors for an all-wheel-drive configuration with a total output of 536 hp and 726 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. However, the most striking aspect is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 3.2 seconds. We will most likely get to know the price at the auto expo.
| Specs | MG Cyberster |
| Battery | 77 kWh |
| Power | 536 hp |
| Torque | 726 Nm |
| Acc. (0-100 km/h) | 3.2 seconds |
| Expected Price | Rs 90 lakh |
| Expected Launch | January 2025 |
MG Gloster Facelift
Yet another MG car that will be showcased at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 is the Gloster facelift. Note that Gloster is the flagship offering from MG in India. It had been due for an upgrade for a long time now. The test mule has been spied testing on multiple occasions. We expect design alterations to attract more customers in addition to new amenities inside the cabin. However, what will remain the same is the powertrain. It will most likely continue with a 2.0-litre diesel engine in two configurations – single turbo and twin turbo. The power and torque output figures will remain at 163 PS / 375 Nm and 218 PS / 480 Nm, respectively. Performing the transmission duties is an 8-speed automatic transmission. While the lower versions will use a 2WD configuration, 4×4 capabilities will be on offer on the higher trims. The prices will start at around Rs 40 lakh, ex-showroom.
| Specs | MG Gloster |
| Engine | 2.0-litre Diesel (Single Turbo & Twin Turbo) |
| Power | 163 PS / 218 PS |
| Torque | 375 Nm / 480 Nm |
| Transmission | 8AT |
| Drivetrain | 4×2 & 4×4 |
MG Astor Facelift
Then we can also witness the MG Astor facelift at the auto expo. Note that Astor is a mid-size SUV which rivals the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Maruti Grand Vitara, and more in our market. It is loaded with the latest tech, safety, connectivity and convenience amenities. However, it has been due for a thorough facelift for a long time now. Hence, we might finally catch a glimpse of the facelifted Astor at the event in the coming days. In terms of specs, it will most likely carry the same engine-transmission combinations as the current model. Nevertheless, there might be addition of new features to offer an even more premium experience to the buyers.
| Expected Specs | MG Astor |
| Engine | 1.5L Petrol; 1.4L Turbo Petrol |
| Transmission | 6-speed manual; CVT / Automatic |
| Power | 110 PS / 140 PS |
| Torque | 144 Nm / 220 Nm |
| Expected Launch | H1 2025 |
MG Windsor EV
MG has already launched the Windsor EV in India. In fact, it became the highest-selling EV for the month in which it was first launched. That is a testament to its popularity. It was introduced with the industry-first Baas (Battery-as-a-Service) model which lets the buyers rent the battery and pay for it on a monthly basis depending on the usage. The amount is Rs 3.5 per km. This reduces the initial cost significantly. It comes with tons of new-age features. Also, it gets a 38 kWh battery pack which allows 136 PS and 200 Nm of maximum power and torque, respectively. MG claims a range of 332 km on a single charge. The prices range from Rs 9.99 lakh to Rs 11.99 lakh without battery and Rs 13.50 lakh to Rs 15.50 lakh, ex-showroom, with battery.
| Specs | MG Windsor EV |
| Battery | 38 kWh |
| Range | 331 km |
| Power / Torque | 136 PS / 200 Nm |
| 50 kW DC Fast Charging | 0-80% in 55 mins |
| Boot Capacity | 604-litre |
Skoda Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Skoda Kodiaq
In the last few months, we have been witnessing foreign media review the latest-generation Skoda Kodiaq. Since it has already been launched in Europe, India will also likely get it in the coming weeks. As a matter of fact, we might get the to set our eyes on it at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. It carries all sorts of modern-day premium amenities including things like a large free-standing touchscreen infotainment display, a virtual cockpit driver’s instrument cluster, a two-spoke steering wheel with multimedia controls, premium audio system, dual glovebox, dual wireless smartphone chargers, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rotary dials for HVAC, comfortable seats, gearbox shifter on the steering column, USB chargers, rear AC vents and USB ports, sliding and reclining rear seats, rear armrest with cup holders, large boot space, ambient lighting, and much more. The international model comes with multiple powertrain options. Hence, it will be interesting to see what our variant comes with.
| Expected Specs | Skoda Kodiaq |
| Expected Launch | H1 2025 |
| Expected Price | Rs 52 lakh |
Skoda Octavia RS
The next vehicle on this list is the Skoda Octavia RS. You must know that the RS is an iconic moniker in the legacy of the Czech carmaker. The RS iteration of the Octavia represents the zenith of what Skoda has to offer in terms of sheer performance. In the past, we have received two generations of this beast – Octavia RS 230 in 2017 and Octavia RS 245 in 2020. These were CBU units and were on sale in limited numbers. Still, these flew off the shelf quite rapidly. Aiming to replicate that success, we could even see the new 4th-generation Skoda Octavia RS on display at the auto expo. Going by the international model, it will carry a 2.0-litre TSI turbo petrol mill which will generate a whopping 265 hp and 370 Nm of peak power and torque. The automatic transmission will enable an exhilarating performance.
| Expected Specs | Skoda Octavia RS |
| Engine | 2.0L Turbo Petrol |
| Power | 265 hp |
| Torque | 370 Nm |
| Transmission | AT |
Skoda Superb
The Czech carmaker might also be planning to launch the next-generation Skoda Superb in our market. Again, it has also been launched in many international markets in the last few months. As a consequence, we could finally see it in the flesh at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 in its latest avatar. The aim will be to gauge the response of the public. Note that we already have the CBU Superb in our market which retails for over Rs 50 lakh. This puts it at par with the entry level German luxury cars. With new-age amenities and a new exterior styling, I am expecting an even higher price point. That will really make things interesting. The international model is available with multiple powertrain options but the Indian-spec trim might only carry the familiar 2.0-litre turbo petrol mill making 190 PS and 320 Nm of maximum power and torque, respectively. Also, the transmission duties will be carried out by a sole 7-speed DSG gearbox.
| Expected Specs | Skoda Superb |
| Engine | 2.0L Turbo Petrol |
| Power | 190 PS |
| Torque | 320 Nm |
| Transmission | 7-DSG |
Skoda Kylaq
Finally, Skoda recently launched its first-ever compact SUV, the Kylaq. We know that it has announced a starting price of Rs 7.89 lakh with the top variant costing Rs 14.40 lakh, ex-showroom. That is in line with most rivals in this crowded segment. Note that the vehicle will be on display at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 and the deliveries are slated to commence from February onwards. It shares powertrains with the Kushaq and Slavia. This means a peppy 1.0-litre 3-cylinder TSI turbo petrol mill which churns out a familiar 115 PS and 178 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. One can choose between either a 6-speed manual or a torque converter automatic transmission. Skoda claims a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration time of 10.5 seconds with a top speed of 188 km/h.
| Specs | Skoda Kylaq |
| Engine | 1.0L Turbo Petrol |
| Power | 115 PS |
| Torque | 178 Nm |
| Transmission | 6MT / AT |
| Boot Space | 446 L |
Skoda Enyaq
The other Skoda product we might finally get a look at is the Enyaq. It is an electric SUV which has been quite successful in some international markets. It is available with a 77 kWh battery pack with a dual-motor setup for an all-wheel-drive configuration. It results in a decent 265 hp of maximum power. This propels the EV from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.9 seconds. The WLTP range on a single charge is 513 km. Taking care of the charging abilities is a 125 kW DC fast charger. We have already seen the spy images of the EV in India on multiple occasions. Let us see what the India-bound model comes with.
Skoda Vision 7S
Skoda has also displayed its futuristic Vision 7S at the auto expo. It is a concept which showcases Skoda’s prowess in terms of design, features and tech. On the outside, the EV is rugged and modern with a sleek front section with a sporty bumper and skid plate. In fact, it gets distinct 7 vertical slats to boast a sturdy road presence. On the sides, there are 22-inch dual-tone aero alloy wheels and the tail end contains L-shaped LED taillamps with a solid bumper. It carries the largest touchscreen display on any Skoda car, 14.6 inches, along with an 8.8-inch Virtual Cockpit digital instrument cluster, rectangular steering wheel, Augmented Reality head-up display and more. The battery capacity is 89 kWh and the range is over 600 km as per WLTP. The charging options include 200 kW DC support.
Skoda Elroq EV
The Czech carmaker also showcased its mid-sized electric SUV, the Elroq, at the auto expo. This SUV, similar in size to the Hyundai Creta and already available in Europe, reflects Skoda’s latest design approach. It features a contemporary front end with sleek LED daytime running lights and a panel between them, while the main headlights are positioned at the edges of the bumper. The sides are marked by large alloy wheels and distinctive lines extending from front to rear.
Inside, the Elroq is packed with modern features, including a two-spoke steering wheel with controls, a freestanding touchscreen infotainment system, a textured dashboard, an electric parking brake, ambient lighting, a head-up display, a premium sound system, an electric driver’s seat with massage, wireless charging, smartphone connectivity, keyless entry, advanced driver assistance systems, a heated steering wheel and front seats, and much more. Two battery options are available – a 55 kWh and an 82 kWh, offering ranges of 373 km and 579 km, respectively, and power and torque outputs of 170 PS / 310 Nm and 286 PS / 545 Nm. In its most powerful configuration, it can accelerate from 0 to 97 km/h in just 6.4 seconds.
Toyota Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder 7-Seater
Then we have the Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder 7-seater on this list of cars that we might witness at the upcoming Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. Now, the rumours about the 7-seat iteration of the mid-size SUV have been going on for a while now. We know that this is one of the most segments in India. Hence, carmakers attempt just about anything to stand apart from the crowd. The 7-seat version will definitely be a more practical option for those with large families. However, I don’t expect any change to the powertrain options. Hence, it will keep the 1.5-litre mild hybrid and 1.5-litre strong hybrid mills along with manual and automatic transmissions. Needless to mention, there will be a minor premium in terms of the price over the standard Urban Cruiser Hyryder.
| Specs | Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder 7-seat |
| Engine | 1.5-litre mild hybrid / 1.5-litre strong hybrid |

Toyota Urban Cruiser EV
We also have the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV on this list. Note that it will bear similarities with the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara since both companies will sell it as per their joint venture. We know a lot of details about the e Vitara. Also, Toyota has showcased what the Urban Cruiser EV will look like. To set a clear distinction between the two, the Urban Cruiser EV will bears significant design alterations. This includes a prominent chrome slab between the LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs and a clean bumper. The side section contains rugged body claddings including on the wheel arches and side body skirtings on the door panels. There will be two battery pack options – 49 kWh and 61 kWh. The power and torque figures are 144 hp / 189 Nm and 181 hp / 300 Nm, respectively. One can expect a range of around 450 km on a single charge.

Toyota Fortuner MHEV
We have been awaiting the launch of the new-gen Toyota Fortuner for a long time now. In fact, there were many reports which mentioned that the new Fortuner will come with a hybrid diesel mill. Hence, we might finally see the famed 7-seat off-roading machine at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 in the coming days. It could carry a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel GD-series engine with a 48-volt mild hybrid system. This will offer improved fuel economy, reduced emissions and allow low-speed drivability. It remains to be seen what kind of premium it will command over the existing model.
Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
Continuing on with Toyota, we can also see the new Land Cruiser Prado at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. Note that the Prado sits below the flagship LC300. It is one of the most popular SUVs from the Japanese carmaker across dozens of international markets. The SUV is based on ladder-frame chassis for intense off-roading prowess. In the 2025 iteration, it will also use the 2.8-litre diesel engine with mild hybrid technology just like the new Fortuner. In some markets, it also comes with a 2.4-litre petrol mill with a hybrid configuration. We will get the CBU version of the Prado sometime after the unveiling at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025..
BYD Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
BYD Sealion 7
BYD is also planning to expand its portfolio in India with the new electric SUV called the Sealion 7. It will bears BYD’s Ocean design philosophy and high-tech features. This includes things like Intelligent Torque Active Control (iTAC), CTB (Cell To Body) architecture and the world’s first mass-produced 8-in-1 electric powertrain. This includes key components like VCU, BMS, MCU, PDU, DC-DC controller, onboard charger, drive motor and transmission in a single package. One can choose between two battery pack options – 82.5 kWh and 91.3 kWh. The range on the rear-wheel-drive version is 482 km and in the all-wheel-drive, it is 455 km as per WLTP. With the bigger battery, it could even be over 500 km. In the most aggressive settings, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h comes up in just 4.5 seconds. More details will stem at the auto expo.
BYD YANGWANG U9
We could even see the BYD YANGWANG U9 at the auto expo. YANGWANG is a sub-brand from BYD which makes electric supercars and hypercars. In the last few months, its U9 electric supercar has been going crazy online due to its unique and impressive stunts. It can achieve a top speed of a spine-chilling 309.19 km/h. Furthermore, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h comes up in just 2.36 seconds. You would be shocked to know that the maximum power and torque figures are 1,300 hp and 1,680 Nm, respectively. It is unclear if BYD brings it to our shores but it could definitely showcase it just to create buzz.
VW Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo
VW Tiguan
Just like the Skoda Kodiaq, we can also witness the new-generation VW Tiguan at the auto expo. Needless to say, it belongs to a niche market segment in India. However, VW loyalists could certainly opt for it over the rivals. The international markets have already received the new-gen model. The Indian market is still bereft of it due to low demand. In fact, in some markets abroad, the new Tiguan has been replaced by the Tayron. Therefore, it remains to be seen if we receive it too. It could carry on with the familiar 2.0-litre turbo petrol mill which is good for 190 hp and 320 Nm of peak power and torque. This mill will pair with a 7-speed DSG transmission.
VW Golf GTI
Golf is one of the most famous car monikers from VW across various international markets. However, it was, unfortunately, never launched in India. Since the Polo is also no longer available in our market, the German car marque might display the new Golf GTI at the auto expo to gauge the response of the visitors. It comes with a potent 2.0-litre mill which generates a whopping 241 hp and is mated to a 7-speed DSG transmission. The 0 to 96 km/h acceleration time is a cool 5.7 seconds. If it is there, we will feast our eyes on the hot hatch with interest.
Honda Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Honda Accord
The Honda’s section at the upcoming auto expo could feature an erstwhile famous model, Accord. It was a mighty popular vehicle in our market up until a few years ago. However, it has been discontinued for a while now. At the moment, if there could be any rival to the Toyota Camry, it could be the Honda Accord hybrid. It remains to be seen whether Honda decides to showcase it at the event. In the international markets, it has been one of the best-selling cars from the Japanese auto giant.
Honda Amaze
Next up, we have the Honda Amaze on this list. Amaze was recently launched in its 3rd-generation avatar in India. It bears the title of the most affordable vehicle with ADAS in the country. Since it is already on sale in the market, we might see some special edition or accessorized iterations of the compact sedan at the expo. That is one way of garnering attention of the potential customers and visitors. The regular iteration comes with a familiar E20-compatible 1.2-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol mill which produces a healthy 90 PS and 110 Nm of peak power and torque. There are options of choosing between a 5-speed manual or a CVT automatic gearbox. The prices range from Rs 8 lakh to Rs 10.90 lakh, ex-showroom.
Renault Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Renault Duster
The French carmaker will also most likely showcase its Duster mid-size SUV at the upcoming auto expo. Note that Duster is the reason which led to the creation of this segment in India. In its latest avatar, we have already seen it in many international markets. The India launch is on the cards but we might see it some time next year. It comes with a rugged exterior styling along with a modern interior. However, the biggest talking point, at least in the markets abroad, is the option of multiple powertrains. The Indian-spec model could offer 1.3-litre turbo petrol mill, a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine or an updated 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine from the Magnite. Still, we will have to wait to know what Renault decides.
Renault Triber
Renault Triber is among the most affordable 7-seat vehicles in the country. In fact, that is its biggest selling point which a lot of people are drawn to. It has been a long time since we have seen any sort of update of the Triber. Hence, there were rumours that we could get the next-gen Triber at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. It will come with new styling, availability of new-age features but the powertrain options will most likely be borrowed from the existing model.
Renault Kiger
The other Renault product on this list is the Kiger. It is a compact SUV which has done incredibly well for the French carmaker on the sales charts. In fact, Kiger and Triber have together contributed a whopping 80% of total sales for Renault in India. Hence, both these are mighty relevant vehicles for Renault. Kiger is for those who want the practicality and road presence of a compact SUV without shelling out a fortune. In fact, it gives an opportunity to those who might be looking for a hatchback to upgrade to the compact SUV because of the value-for-money proposition. Apart from the exterior and interior modifications, the powertrain and transmission alternatives will be the same as the current version.
Nissan Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
Nissan Magnite
Nissan will also be taking part in the mega event starting in a few days. Its biggest seller is the Magnite. Since we already talked about the new-gen Kiger, it also translates to a new Magnite. Note that both these are, essentially, the same cars with different badges. Therefore, we can witness new-age exterior design language and modern features in the new Magnite. Again, the powertrain configurations will most likely be retained from the existing Magnite.
VinFast Cars at Bharat Mobility Expo 2025
The Vietnamese car marque has been in news regarding India entry for a while now. However, the final decision is still under discussion. Amidst all this, VinFast has release an official trailer announcing its participation at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. It will demonstrate its future EVs for the Indian market. In fact, we spotted the VF7 undergoing road testing in India a few months ago. However, nothing concrete came out of it at the time. In this new year 2025, we might finally have VinFast cars on sale. The two EVs that will be showcased at the auto expo are VF7 and VF9.
Gensol Ezio EV
We will also witness the Gensol Ezio EV at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. Note that Gensol EV is a subsidiary of Gensol Engineering which creates tailored solutions to modern mobility problems. The Ezio EV has a two-door, two-seat, three-wheel configuration with a quirky design language. The list of amenities include reflector-type headlamps with LED DRLs, alloy wheels, a charging port on the front fender, a floating roof design, wrap-around taillamps, a sunroof, a large infotainment display, automatic climate control, a layered dashboard, gloss black plastics, a narrow centre console with shift lever and power window switches, in-cabin driver assistance technology, AI-driven cloud analytics and much more.
