2026 is set to bring significant changes to the Indian automotive industry, right from robust growth of BEVs (battery electric vehicles) and hybrids models to the integration of AI, sustainable manufacturing practices and flexibility in supply chains. SUVs will continue to dominant the market, supported by steady demand for three-row family vehicles. In fact, there are five new 7-seater SUVs and MPVs slated to launch in the first quarter of 2026.
Let’s take a look at each one of them.
