The second model to be launched next month by Kia is their all-electric family SUV, the Kia EV9. Expected to be priced northwards of a crore rupees, the EV9 features a quirky design language and loads of tech features. It will come to India via the CBU route and is underpinned by the Hyundai-Kia E-GMP platform. 

Nissan Magnite Facelift

Launch date: October 4, 2024

Expected starting price: Rs 6 lakh (ex-showroom)

Nissan’s only mass market car in India, the Nissan Magnite, is undergoing a facelift after four years of its launch in India. The Magnite is the sole support for Nissan to continue its operations in India and the X-Trail is more of a placeholder to maintain an aspirational value for the brand. Anyway, here’s what we expect from the upcoming Nissan Magnite Facelift.

BYD eMax 7

Launch date: October 8, 2024

Expected starting price: Rs 30 lakh (ex-showroom)

BYD is all-set to launch the BYD eMax 7, which is essentially a facelifted e6. The MPV will cater to both the commercial and passenger vehicle market and is expected to get a host of visual enhancements and feature additions. BYD has already started accepting bookings for the eMax 7 and has announced special benefits of up to Rs 51,000 for the first 1,000 customers.
