Anticipating 4 Upcoming Premium 7-Seater SUVs – From Skoda to MG, Worth the Wait

 

1. MG Gloster Facelift:

   MG's Gloster, currently holding the mantle as the brand's flagship offering, is gearing up for a mid-life update, as suggested by recent spy images. This full-size SUV, locked in direct competition with the Toyota Fortuner, is poised for enhancements in both its visual aesthetics and interior features. Anticipated to roll out sometime this year, the facelift aims to further elevate the Gloster's standing in the market.

2. New Skoda Kodiaq:

   The eagerly awaited second-generation Skoda Kodiaq, globally unveiled in October 2023, is on the brink of entering the Indian market this year. Riding on the advanced MQB Evo platform, this iteration promises a substantial overhaul in design and features compared to its predecessor. With larger dimensions, the lineup introduces a PHEV variant for the first time. While the Indian version may retain the existing 2.0L turbo petrol engine, churning out 190 PS and 320 Nm, and mated to an automatic gearbox.

3. Toyota Fortuner Mild Hybrid:

   Toyota is gearing up to introduce a 2.8L mild hybrid diesel engine to the Fortuner, following its successful debut in the global stage with the Hilux. Expected to hit the Indian market later this year, this addition incorporates a mild hybrid system, aiming to enhance fuel efficiency, overall performance, and contribute to reduced emission levels. Apart from this notable engine upgrade, no major alterations are anticipated for the Fortuner.

4. Kia EV9:

   Kia is set to make waves in the coming months with the launch of the fourth generation of the Carnival in India. Looking ahead, the spotlight turns to the flagship EV9 electric SUV, scheduled to make its debut in late 2024 or early 2025. Boasting an impressive claimed range of 541 km in the WLTP cycle, the EV9 promises a sophisticated cabin with high-quality material finishes and an extensive equipment list. Keep an eye out for Kia's foray into the electric SUV segment.
