Upcoming Cars in India in April 2025 – Maruti e Vitara to Skoda Kodiaq

The Indian automobile market is growing consistently, as we keep experiencing new products at frequent intervals

In this post, we take a look at the specifics of the upcoming cars in India in April 2025. The Indian automobile market is the third largest in the world. In the last few years, the demand for personal mobility has been rising quite aggressively. As a consequence, carmakers are introducing new models or updating the existing ones to keep their portfolios fresh. Also, many new carmakers have emerged to grab a bite of the huge pie. For now, let us see which vehicles to look out for this month.

Upcoming Cars in India in April 2025

Maruti e Vitara

Let us commence this post with the Maruti e Vitara. It has been in the news for a few months now after being on display at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 in New Delhi in January. It is the first electric car from the largest car marque in the country. There will even be a Toyota counterpart to the e Vitara. On the outside, it bears a rugged and muscular appearance, while the cabin contains the latest tech and connectivity amenities. It is aimed at attracting new-age car buyers.

In terms of powertrains, there will be two battery packs on offer – 49 kWh or 61 kWh. Based on the new HEARTECT-e platform, the electric SUV will bear an eAxle (3-in-1 unit including inverter, motor and transmission). In ideal settings, one can expect a driving range of around 500 km on a single charge. In addition to that, the power and torque figures range from 142 hp / 189 Nm to 172 hp / 189 Nm and 181 hp / 300 Nm (AWD), respectively. The higher trims will even get the ALLGRIP-e technology for an all-wheel-drive configuration to distribute torque as per the requirement. It has a ground clearance of 180 mm and weighs between 1,702 kg and 1,899 kg. We might finally see the launch towards the end of this month.

2025 Skoda Kodiaq

Moving towards the luxury end of the market, we will even see the launch of the new 2025 Skoda Kodiaq this month. Kodiaq is the flagship Czech vehicle in India. It has been quite popular in recent times. However, a new-generation model has already been on sale in many international markets in the last few months. Now, even India will get this as a full import, which means an astronomical price tag. We saw it at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025. There are some modern elements on the outside to distinguish it from the previous model.

However, the list of features inside the cabin is rather lengthy. The top highlights include a Large Free-standing Touchscreen Infotainment Display, Two-spoke Steering Wheel with Multimedia Controls, Virtual Cockpit Driver’s Instrument Cluster, Soft-touch Materials, Premium Audio System, Dual Wireless Smartphone Charger, Sliding and Reclining Rear Seats, Ambient Lighting and much more. Under its hood, you will find a familiar 2.0-litre turbo petrol mill which churns out a decent 190 hp and 320 Nm of maximum power and torque, respectively. There will be a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission on offer, and the prices could be well above Rs 50 lakh.

2025 Kia Carens

Then we have the 2025 Kia Carens on this list of the upcoming cars in India in April 2025. Carens has been quite successful for the Korean auto giant in the last couple of years. The test mules of the 2025 model have been doing the rounds on the internet. We can expect visual changes to the exterior along with a few new features on the inside. What will most likely remain unchanged are the specifications. It will most likely continue to carry a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine which generates a familiar 115 PS and 144 Nm, a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol mill which churns out an impressive 160 PS and 253 Nm or a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel engine which produces a healthy 116 PS and 250 Nm of peak power and torque, respectively. The transmission options will be aplenty, including a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed iMT, a 6-speed automatic transmission or a 7-speed DCT automatic. Exact details will emerge at the launch later this month.

VW Tiguan R-Line

Next up, we have the VW Tiguan R-Line on this list as well. It is the most expensive Volkswagen car in the country, even in its regular avatar. The German car marque has announced that it will launch the R-Line iteration of the Tiguan on April 14, 2025. Again, it will be a CBU unit, which indicates a price tag in excess of Rs 50 lakh. Being a special edition model, there will be plenty of R badges on the body along with a sporty all-black interior theme with red inserts. It will draw power from a 2.0-litre turbo petrol mill, generating 190 PS and 320 Nm of maximum power and torque, respectively. This engine will pair with a 7-speed DSG transmission.

2025 BMW 2 Series

The final product on this list of the upcoming cars in India in April 2025 is the 2025 BMW 2 Series. It is the entry-level sedan from the German luxury auto giant. The new-gen 2 Series made its global debut in October 2024. This time around, the sedan is 20 mm longer and 25 mm higher than the last-gen model. While there are many powertrain options for the international model, the Indian-spec trim will most likely carry the 2.0-litre turbo petrol and 2.0-litre turbo diesel options with automatic transmissions. The expected price tag is around Rs 46 lakh, ex-showroom.
