The first half of 2023 has been busy due to numerous significant releases. With many more upcoming cars to arrive this year, the remaining part of the year is now as significant and exciting. A new EV, a makeover, and five completely new models will all be introduced. In this article, we will tell you about the top 10 upcoming cars that will launch in the second half of 2023
1. Kia Seltos Facelift
After four years of launch, the Kia Seltos SUV will get its first substantial facelift. With various new feature enhancements, including twin 10.25-inch displays for the infotainment and instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, and radar-based ADAS technology, it will also receive an updated exterior and interior design. While the 1.5-liter petrol and diesel engines will remain the same, a new 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine with 160 PS will also be included.
Expected Starting Price – Rs 10 lakh
2. Upcoming cars – Maruti Invicto
The most expensive model in the Maruti India portfolio, the Maruti Invicto, will debut on July 6. As we know about the Toyota & Maruti partnership, the Toyota Innova Hycross is going to be rebadged as the Invicto MPV, although it will have a few small cosmetic changes to distinguish itself. It will be a high-end model equipped with an expansive sunroof, a 10-inch touchscreen, motorized second-row Ottoman seats, dual-zone air conditioning, and ADAS. A 2-liter petrol engine with powerful hybrid technology, rated at 23.24 kmpl on the Hycross, will also power the Invicto.
Expected Starting Price of this upcoming car – Rs 19 lakh
3. Hyundai Exter
A competitor to the Tata Punch, which will debut on July 10, the Hyundai Exter will be the automaker’s (Hyundai) entry-level SUV. With the option of manual or AMT transmissions, it will be a Micro SUV with a 1.2-liter gasoline engine. It will also be offered in CNG form like its competitor. Six airbags, an 8-inch touchscreen, an electric sunroof, and a rear parking camera are among some features that it will have.
Expected Starting Price – Rs 6 lakh
4. Honda Elevate
The Honda Elevate is Honda’s one of the upcoming cars to enter the compact SUV segment. It will only be available in petrol and use the City’s 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine, which has 121 PS. Strong hybrid engines won’t be available, but an all-electric model will be available by 2026. Electric sunroof, 10.25-inch touchscreen, 7-inch digital driver’s display, six airbags, and ADAS will all be some of the available features.
Expected Starting Price – Rs 12 lakh
5. Citroen C3 Aircross
The Citroen C3 Aircross will be a challenger to vehicles like the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Honda Elevate. The three-row C3 Aircross, which will focus on the Indian market, would be priced competitively with these compact SUVs. It will have a 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine with 110 PS, and we anticipate that an automatic transmission will also be available. A 10-inch touchscreen system, a digital driver’s display, twin airbags, hill hold assist, and TPMS are some of the features it will have.
Expected Starting Price – Rs 9 lakh
6. Hyundai i20 Facelift
Given that it has already been spotted in India undergoing testing, the premium hatchback, i20, will receive a makeover in the upcoming months. The Hyundai i20 will be revamped on the outside and receive some interior design changes as well. Except for the twin camera dash cam, it’s doubtful that the feature list will receive many upgrades. It will be offered with 1.2-liter petrol and 1-liter turbo-petrol engines, both will come with manual and automatic transmission options.
Expected Starting Price – Rs 7.60 lakhÂ
7. Force Gurkha 5-Door
In the upcoming months, the Force Gurkha’s five-door variant is quite likely to go on sale. It will have an identical appearance as the three-door model but a longer rear profile. We anticipate that it will be available with different seating arrangements. The same 90PS 2.6-litre diesel engine and 5-speed manual transmission will power the new Gurkha.
Expected Starting Price of this upcoming car- Rs 16 lakh
8. BYD Seal
The Seal, BYD’s third electric vehicle for India, might make its debut between September and October 2023. The massive 82.5kWh battery pack that will power the luxury vehicle is anticipated to have a range of up to 700 kilometers. A 15.6-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a panoramic sunroof, and radar-based ADAS (advanced driving assistance system) are among the features that are anticipated to be included in the features list of the vehicle.
Expected Starting Price – Rs 60 lakh
9. Tata Punch EV
In addition to a CNG variant, the Punch may also get an electric version this year. It could be available with numerous battery packs, with a stated range of up to 350 kilometers, just like the Tiago and Nexon EV. The Micro SUV’s electric variant has already been spotted testing a few times, indicating that the cosmetic alterations won’t be too drastic. The list of features will be the same as it was for the ICE version.
Expected Starting Price – Rs 12 lakh
 10. Upcoming Cars – Nissan X-Trail
Nissan is testing its new full-size SUV, X-Trail, right now, so we may witness the debut of the vehicle at the end of this year. It will compete with vehicles like the Toyota Fortuner and the MG Gloster. A 1.5-liter mild-hybrid turbo-petrol engine or a strong-hybrid drivetrain with the option of AWD might be used to power the X-Trail. It will be a high-end, feature-rich product that will be sold through imports.
Expected Starting Price – Rs 40 lakh
