The Festive season is almost here! September-November is the most happening month in India. People all over the country come out and celebrate a variety of festivals together. The festive season also witnesses a host of car launches and sales. Take a look at this list of 5 upcoming cars launching this festive season in India!

1. 2021 Honda Amaze Facelift
   

   Estimated Launch: 18th August 2021
   Honda is also gearing up for the upcoming festive season with its tried and test Amaze in a facelifted avatar. The updates include new projector headlamps, a new grille, redesigned front and rear bumper as well as LED taillights.

   The powertrain and transmission options remain the same; a 1.2-litre i-VTEC petrol engine paired to a five-speed manual transmission, produces 89bhp and 110Nm of torque and a 1.5-litre i-DTEC diesel engine which produces 99bhp and 200Nm of torque paired to the five-speed manual transmission. The petrol variant also gets the CVT variants which makes 79bhp and 160Nm of torque. Both the engines now comply with BS6 emission norms.

   

2. Volkswagen Taigun

   

   Estimated Launch (Tentative): August 2021
   Volkswagen is making an entry in the sub-compact SUV market with the Taigun. It will be competing with others cars in the segment like the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV 300 and the Ford EcoSport. It will come with a 1.0L and a 1.5L petrol engine. The 1.5L will most likely also be available with a DSG gearbox. Ventilated leather seats and a digital cockpit are a few expected features of the Taigun. The estimated price stands in the range of Rs.10-15 Lakhs.

3. Mahindra XUV700

   

   Estimated Launch (Tentative): August 2021
   Probably the most awaited car in the lot, the Mahindra XUV 700 is also expected this year. Mahindra has gone above and beyond to make the XUV 700 stand out in the market. Regular teasers and promotions show that the XUV 700 will have some of the most advanced safety and driving assistance features. Apart from this, it will also get a massive panoramic sunroof and retractable door handles. Prices are expected to stand between Rs.20-25 Lakhs.

4. MG Astor

   

   Estimated Launch (Tentative): September/October 2021
   MG will be launching the ZS-EV in a petrol avatar this year, and it’s going to be called the MG Astor. While we loved the design and features of the ZS, it didn’t sell as much because Indian buyers are still in two minds on the whole EV scenario. With the petrol version lined up, MG aspires to sell it in the bracket of Rs.10-15 Lakhs and compete with the Hyundai Creta and the Kia Seltos.

5. Tata HBX

   

   Estimated Launch (Tentative): September/October 2021
   The HBX has been in the works for quite some time now and it is expected later this year. Tata will be giving the HBX a true SUV form factor in a micro SUV size, making it stand apart from the competition. Speaking of competition, there isn’t much. The micro SUV segment priced between Rs-6-8 Lakhs already doesn’t have too many entries and this will surely help Tata’s case.

So, which upcoming car are you the most excited for? The Mahindra XUV700, Volkswagen Taigun or the Tata HBX. Let us know in the comments section below!
