On the hunt for a new hatchback within a ₹10 Lakh budget? While an immediate need warrants an immediate purchase, those with some time might want to consider the upcoming models. Several new hatchbacks and facelifts are slated for launch soon. Maruti Suzuki is working on a hybrid version of the Fronx, potentially enticing buyers considering the CNG variants of the Baleno, Fronx, or Swift. Hyundai is gearing up to release the Bayon, a compact crossover hybrid, featuring a new 1.2-litre Kappa engine. Furthermore, Maruti Suzuki is planning the Escudo, a 5-seater SUV that aims to slot between the Vitara Brezza and Grand Vitara, competing with vehicles like the Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta. Renault is also planning to refresh its portfolio with a new Duster and the Kwid EV, which shares similarities with the Dacia Spring EV.
