Rs 10 lakh cars coming in January 2023!
Another year is soon to pass and manufacturers are gearing up to launch some exciting products next year. There are many cars that would be uncovered in 2023 but today let’s focus on the price bracket of 10 lakh. So, let’s take a look at Rs 10 lakh upcoming cars in January 2023!
Upcoming cars 2023 -Citroen C3 EV
Citroen’s entry-level hatchback, the C3 is soon to receive electrification with the C3 EV. We have spotted the C3 EV in its testing phase which gets the charging port on its right front fender. To come based on the eCMP architecture, this EV could get a 30kWh battery pack delivering a real-world range of around 200kms. Pricing is expected to start around Rs 10-11lakh (ex-showroom) competing against the Tata Tiago EV. Would you consider this over the Tata? Let us know in the comments!
Maruti Swift
Maruti had a wonderful time in 2022 launching some of its immaculate products. It is likely to maintain its pace by revamping its Swift. This car is one of the highest-selling Maruti models known for its driving dynamics. With the new generation update, the new model is expected to bring more features keeping its easy drivability DNA the same. It is likely to unveil initially in Europe, and only then we can expect a proper launch in the next year. Keeping in mind the added equipment, it will be priced higher than the current 3rd gen car.
Upcoming cars 2023 -Maruti Baleno Cross
India’s largest carmaker is about to bring a crossover version of its premium hatch -Baleno. Focusing more towards SUV characteristics like high ground clearance, body cladding, etc, it will also boast design elements like spilt headlamp setup, coupe-like tapering roofline, integrated spoiler and more. Under the hood, it is likely to retain the 1.0-litre turbo petrol (100bhp and 150Nm of torque) engine paired to a 5-speed manual gearbox. This powertrain setup was earlier seen in the Baleno RS. Pricing of the Baleno Cross could start slightly premium above the Baleno hatch at Rs 8lakh (ex-showroom).
MG Air EV
MG’s first EV in India could be a ‘Kei’ car. A ‘Kei’ car refers to a wee dimension car largely used for city driving conditions. This new Air EV would be extensively based on the Wuling Air EV already sold in Indonesia. However, the design and technical specifications would be tweaked to suit the environmental conditions of India. To be launched as an entry-level model for MG, it is also expected to be the smallest car in India. The pricing of this EV is likely to be in the range of Rs10 lakh as it would possess localised battery components from Tata AutoComp.
Upcoming cars 2023 -Honda WR-V
The Japanese automaker recently pulled off covers from their WR-V. This new generation model is on sale in the Asian markets whereas the Indian launch date is not yet defined. But, if we see at the SUV-centric market, Honda has to bring this compact SUV to gain numbers on the chart. If launched in India, it could go against the likes of Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and other sub-compact SUVs in India. In the South Asian market, the WR-V is available with a 1.5-litre petrol engine making 119bhp and 145Nm of torque. However, it’s only available with a CVT auto gearbox. The Indian spec model is expected to get both manual and auto gearbox options and the pricing could start around Rs 9 lakh (on-road price).
