Upcoming SUVs in 2020/21 in India with Price and Launch Date

India-Bound Hot New SUVs Coming Soon: 2020 - 2021

A few years back, the scenario of SUVs in India was restricted to the pricey, body on frame, full-sized cars. Fast forward to 2020, we are dealing with Micro SUVs and Compact SUVs that are affordable and easy to maintain besides Mid-Size and Full-Size 6+ Seater SUVs 

India has developed a lot of affection for the SUV segment with consumers opting for SUVs as compared to premium hatchback and sedan for the perks of having high ground clearance for bad roads,spacious interior, larger boot space for luggage, commanding seating position & good visibility.

As a result, all the manufacturers are competing to launch the latest and best SUVs across all SUV segments in India by having their own unique and segment-first features.

Today, we talk about the 13 new upcoming SUVs - Micro-SUVs to 8 Seater Full-Size SUVs from Rs 5 lakhs to Rs 40 lakhs that are bound to arrive in our country by next year with their expected launch dates, vehicle details and pricing.

The blend of modern interiors and rigid body, it provides a considerable option. With Maruti Suzuki’s widely spread service network, the Jimny would attract a lot of audiences which were only restricted to Mahindras (Mahindra Thar and Mahindra Scorpio)
