Electric Wave

The electric push is getting harder to miss, with Volvo's EX90 and Tata's Safari EV among the models expected before Diwali. While the EX90 sits in the premium electric SUV space, the Safari EV could bring a familiar seven-seat SUV name into Tata's expanding EV line-up. (AI Generated Images)

Hybrid Twist

JSW's upcoming Combat could add another technology option to the festive-season launch list. The SUV is expected to use PHEV technology, combining an internal-combustion engine with a battery-powered system, potentially giving buyers an alternative to conventional petrol and diesel SUVs.

Fresh Faces

The launch list is not limited to entirely new models. Honda and Toyota are preparing updates for the Elevate and Glanza, while Audi is bringing the next-generation Q3. Hyundai's Bayon and Tata's Safari EV could add further variety to the choices arriving before Diwali. (AI Generated Images)
