The auto industry’s focus on electric and hybrid vehicles is driving a flurry of new car launches. Several of these are anticipated in 2025, with some potentially arriving during the festive season.
**Kia Seltos Facelift:** Kia is gearing up to refresh its Seltos SUV after the recent release of the Clavis. The Seltos has been undergoing testing in India and Korea. The company’s push for more eco-friendly powertrains could lead to a hybrid version alongside the existing engines.
**Next-Gen Mahindra Bolero:** Mahindra is preparing several new models. The next-generation Bolero, a popular model in smaller cities and rural areas, has been spotted in development. This Bolero appears to be a completely new design, with some speculating that it takes inspiration from the G-Wagon and Land Rover Defender.
**Tata Sierra EV:** The all-electric Tata Sierra is nearing the end of its testing phase and is expected to launch soon after the Harrier EV. The ICE version has also been seen, suggesting that it will also be available soon. Tata plans to release the EV variant shortly after the conventional model.
**Kia Clavis EV:** After the ICE version of the Kia Clavis, an electric variant is also planned. This EV is expected to feature design changes like a closed-off grille and an electric powertrain, with an estimated range of 460 km.
**Hyundai Venue Facelift:** Hyundai is planning a facelift for the Venue with a new front design similar to the Alcazar. The updated Venue has been seen testing alongside the new Kia Seltos and could be launched before the festive season, with a price adjustment expected.
