1. Tata Safari Petrol – Upcoming 7-Seater SUVs
That’s right! Since its launch, the Tata Safari has only been available with a diesel engine. However, for a while now, there have been rumours of a petrol version of the Safari in the works. Well, it looks like the Safari will be receiving a new 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine, which it will also share with the Harrier, Jeep Compass and Meridian. We can expect the petrol mill to make a similar power figure as the existing diesel engine, while the torque might be less than that of the diesel engine. It is safe to assume that Tata might launch the Safari petrol by the end of this year or early next year.

2. & 3. Mahindra XEV 7e and XUV700 Facelift
There have been a plethora of spy shots of the XUV700 facelift being tested. Although the launch details are still under wraps, it is possible that Mahindra may launch the car at the end of 2025 or early 2026. We say this because we have received a “save the date” from Mahindra. However, it is possible that Mahindra may launch the electric version of the XUV700, the XEV 7e. It is safe to say that XEV 7e can be launched in November, as the brand had launched both of its first-ever BEVs, the BE 6 and the XEV 9e, on November 26. The XEV 7e will likely get additional features and will be Mahindra’s first 7-seater electric SUV with AWD. On the other hand, the XUV700 facelift is likely to get a triple screen setup and a few cosmetic upgrades.

4. Volkswagen Tayron – Upcoming 7-Seater SUVs
Spotted multiple times in India, the Volkswagen Tayron is one of the awaited 7-seater SUVs. This upcoming VW SUV will be based on the Tiguan, which made a comeback in India, in its sporty avatar. The Tayron is likely to be a more practical alternative to the Tiguan R-line in India. Along with the platform, the Tayron will also be sharing features and the powertrain. Skoda Kodiaq’s sister car, the Tayron, will take on the likes of the Toyota Fortuner. We can expect the Tayron to enter India by the end of this year or early next year.

5. Kia Sorento-Based SUV
Kia has not had a 7-seater SUV in India, which could take on the likes of the Tata Safari and the Mahindra XUV700. Rumours suggest that Kia is working on a 7-seater SUV, codenamed MQ4i, which will be based on the Kia Sorento. It is possible that Kia may offer a strong hybrid powertrain with this 7-seater SUV, alongside other powertrain options. As the details are still under wraps, we expect the Sorento-based SUV to be brought into India by the end of 2026 or early 2027.
