3 Upcoming 6 Seater SUVs in India! What to Expect

Talking of the 6-seater SUVs, we Indians have only a few options to buy. But as the year will commence, we will see new faces in the market in this segment. Here are 3 upcoming 6-seater SUVs that you need to check out in the upcoming months here in India.

1. Tata Gravitas

   Tata Gravitas is the first one on our list of the upcoming 6 seater SUVs in India. This one will be based on the already existing Tata Harrier. Tata showcased this SUV in the Auto Expo 2020 and it didn’t fail to attract the audience. As we all know, the Harrier has got the Land Rover DNA, we can expect the Gravitas to be like the sibling too. Tata is planning to launch this SUV in the second quarter of this year. This SUV will be put against the upcoming Mahindra XUV500 and the MG Hector Plus which was also showcased at the Expo by MG. Gravitas is 63mm longer and 80mm taller than its 5 seater counterpart- the Harrier. Though the wheelbase is still the same. Under the hood, this one has got a 2.0-litre Kryotec diesel engine producing 170bhp of power and 350Nm of torque. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed torque converter automatic.

2. Mahindra XUV500

   You would say this one already exists in the market. Here’s the good news! Mahindra is updating the XUV500 with an all-new version of the SUV which will arrive in India in the second half of this year. We can expect the XUV500 to be the most awaited among the upcoming 6-seater SUVs in India. This will be based on a monocoque platform as Mahindra has suggested until now. The model will receive major changes and upgrades on the inside as well. It will be offered with 2 new BSVI compliant engines – a 190bhp, 2.0-litre mStallion petrol and a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel. Both manual and automatic versions will be offered.

3. MG Hector Plus

   MG Hector has already gained huge success in India and therefore, the Hector plus is also among the most- awaited upcoming 6-seater SUVs in India. The Hector Plus will rival the new XUV500 and the Gravitas. A 1.5-litre petrol engine will power this SUV with 48V mild-hybrid setup, 1.5L turbo petrol and 2.0L diesel motor, carried over from the 5-seater Hector. The Hector plus looks almost same to the 5-seater Hector apart from the minor upgrades in terms of the tail lamps, headlamps and the new grille.
