This month will see a lot of action in the form of new arrivals. We’ll be treated to a bunch of new model launches and reveals, as well as facelifts and updates to existing models.

Likely Launches/Unveils

2021 Kia Seltos

Kia has stated its intentions to announce something ‘big’ on April 27. We believe that it refers to updates to the Seltos. Kia’s debut car in India has completed a year and a half and could be up for some updates. These include the debut of Kia’s new logo in India, a new variant, or feature additions like a panoramic sunroof.

Maruti Suzuki will probably unveil the second-gen Celerio this month. This will mark the biggest change the affordable hatchback has seen since its launch in 2014. Spy shots reveal that the next-gen model will be bigger and based on a new platform. In addition to its 1.0-litre petrol engine, it could also get the option of the WagonR’s 1.2-litre petrol engine.

Facelifted VW Tiguan

Out of the two new SUVs VW has planned to bring to India in 2021, the facelifted Tiguan will be the first to arrive, probably by the end of this month. It will get cosmetic upgrades, new features, and a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with an AWD drivetrain.

Force Gurkha

The wait has been long with this one. First showcased at the Auto Expo 2020, the BS6 Force Gurkha could very well arrive this month. In addition to its exterior update, the Gurkha gets a complete makeover inside. It will be offered with a 90PS 2.6-litre diesel engine but could get a 2.2-litre diesel engine later on as well.

Off the market since the transition to BS6 norms, the TUV300 could make a comeback along with some changes by the end of this month. The biggest change however is likely to be to the name itself. Mahindra could rename the car "Bolero Neo".

Isuzu D-Max V-Cross

The BS6 D-Max V-Cross has already started reaching dealerships, hinting at an imminent launch in April. It is likely to remain unchanged, save for the engine option. Earlier offered with 2.5-litre and 1.9-litre diesel engines, the D-Max V-Cross could now be offered with just the smaller option yet more powerful engine.
