3) BMW i4
BMW unveiled the new BMW i4 just recently on 28th April. It is based on the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, which is why it looks very similar to it. It is also based on a specially designed derivative of the 3 Series CLAR architecture. BMW other than this electric car, also launched its iX and its flagship sedan – i7. Being the flagship sedan, it is definitely a typical BMW or ‘Break My Wallet’ affair to buy one. It starts at $120,000 in the USA, and we expect this price to skyrocket as it enters to India through CBU, thanks to high taxes.

Its design has taken a lot inspiration from the S-Class, both in interior and exterior. 10th of May is the launch date for the same. Prices are likely to start around 50 lakhs. Bookings are already started, and one can issue a booking for 50,000 INR.
It will compete against two its biggest rival – the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. Other rivals include Volvo S60, and Jaguar XE.
5) Kia EV 6
The Kia EV6 will be the flagship car for the southkorean automaker in India. It will takeover Carnival’s current badge. It is likely to cost around 60 lakhs INR (due to CBU) and will have all the bells and whistles. We expect Kia to unveil it in May, following the launch and price reveal in August. Only 100 units of this car will be made.
6) Jeep Meridian – Bookings From May
