11 upcoming cars in India

Deciding whether to buy now or hold on? Here is what we are expecting in India between October 2026 and June 2027.

3 of the 11 have been confirmed by their own maker; the other 8 are the trade's expectation.

4 of them are tied to a car you can buy today, and their cards link straight to it. That is the comparison worth making before you decide to wait.

On the horizon

Worth waiting for?

Unless a card says the maker has confirmed it, treat the date and the price as what the industry expects rather than a promise.
