India’s top four car manufacturers — Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata, and Mahindra — are expected to launch new compact cars in the country in the near future.
Get ready, India! This year, we are getting three new compact SUVs and a hatchback. The SUV gang will include the next-generation Hyundai Venue, the electric Mahindra XUV 3XO and a smart hybrid version of the Toyota Prius. It’s like a mini car party – eco-friendly and ready to go!
Tata Facelifted Altroz
Tata Motors has officially revealed the facelifted Altroz in India, showcasing an updated design ahead of its official market launch. The refreshed model features a redesigned front fascia, including a new grille and sleek flush-type door handles.

Additionally, a modern LED lighting setup has been introduced at the front, while the rear now incorporates a connected LED tail lamp strip for a more contemporary appearance. Just like the updated exterior, the inside of the facelifted Altroz also gets some major upgrades.
The main highlight is the new dashboard layout, which now comes with two 26.03 cm HD screens. Tata has also added cool features like ambient lighting, fresh seat covers, and even an air purifier to make the cabin feel more premium.
Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid
Maruti Suzuki might soon launch a hybrid version of the Fronx, as a test model was recently seen. The design on the outside is likely to stay the same, but the main change will be in the engine. It may get the 1.2-litre petrol engine with a mild-hybrid system, like the one used in the hybrid Dzire sold in other countries. This could improve its fuel efficiency a bit.

While official specifications have yet to be disclosed, early reports indicate a projected driving range of approximately 400 to 450 kilometres on a single charge. Although it will share several components with the XUV400, the electric XUV 3XO is likely to feature distinct design elements, setting it apart from both its internal combustion engine counterpart and other models in the segment.
New Hyundai Venue
Hyundai is likely to unveil the next-generation Venue before the end of the year. The compact SUV is set to receive a comprehensive update, featuring a redesigned exterior and a significantly overhauled interior.
