Auto India 2025: A Year of Exciting Launches
Get ready for a thrilling year in the Indian automotive market! 2025 promises a wave of new releases, from stylish motorcycles to game-changing electric SUVs. This article dives into some of the most anticipated vehicles hitting Indian roads.
Honda's India Strategy Shift
While the leaked images of the 2025 Honda Fit (Jazz) facelift showcase a sharper design and a 1.5L petrol engine, Honda India has confirmed it won't be relaunching the hatchback. Instead, the focus is squarely on SUVs and electric vehicles (EVs), including an Elevate-based EV and a 7-seater model based on the PF2 platform, expected by FY2026-27. This strategic shift reflects the growing demand for SUVs and the increasing importance of EVs in the Indian market.
Two-Wheeled Thrills: Ducati and Kawasaki
Motorcycle enthusiasts are in for a treat! Ducati's Scrambler Full Throttle brings its iconic flat-track style to India, boasting an 803cc engine and a striking black and gold design. Meanwhile, Kawasaki's updated Ninja 650, priced at ₹7.27 lakh (ex-showroom), receives a fresh Lime Green KRT Edition paint job and OBD2B-compliant engine, offering a compelling option at a lower price point than the Triumph Daytona 660.
The EV Revolution: Mahindra XEV 7e
Mahindra is leading the charge in the Indian EV market with the anticipated XEV 7e, a spacious seven-seater SUV. Expected later in 2025, this INGLO-platform vehicle promises a range of around 500km on a single charge and a price tag between ₹20 lakh and ₹26 lakh, making it a potential game-changer.
More to Come
Other notable launches include Maruti Suzuki's E-Vitara electric SUV, Tata Motors' highly anticipated Sierra, and a new-generation Hyundai Venue. 2025 is shaping up to be a year of significant growth and innovation in the Indian automotive sector.
