If you are planning to buy a new car,7 new cars are being launched in the first month of the new year 2021.
Putting aside the uneven economic downturn in the second and third quarters, 2020 has been a mild year for the Indian automotive industry for years. However, it is expected that 2021 will be a good year, at least in terms of new car launches.
That being said, a series of trains is set to launch in the country in the first month of the new year itself. Here is a list of 7 vehicles that will be available for sale in the Indian market in January 2021.
1. MG Hector Plus 7-seater
MG Motor recently announced that a seven-seater version of the Hector Plus will be launched in the Indian market next month. Hector was MG's first product in the Indian market and the SUV has gained popularity in the country with its hefty feature list. The MG company felt that the 7 seater version of the car could go a step further in success.
However, the new 7-seat version has a bench type in between. The car will be offered with the same 1.5 liter petrol, 1.5 liter petrol with lighter hybrid and 2.0 liter turbo diesel powertrain. In addition, the new 7 seats of the SUV will be kept in the same price band of 6 seats per hectare plus. Its current price ranges from Rs 13.73 lakh to Rs 18.68 lakh. The company is also planning to launch the Hector Plus 6-seater 4 × 4 variant and will also see a 7-seater version.
2. Tata Altroz Turbo
So far, the Tata UltraZ has been introduced with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine that generates 83Ps and 113Nm of torque, as well as a 1.5-liter cylinder diesel engine rated at 90Ps and 200Nm of torque. Both engines are presented with a standard manual transmission. However, Tata Motors has confirmed its plans to introduce a turbo petrol engine for the premium hatch as well as a dual clutch automatic transmission.
The new powertrain will be a 1.2 liter turbocharged petrol unit that will deliver a maximum power of 110Ps and a peak torque of 140Nm at 5500Rpm which will be available between 1500-5500Rpm. The Ultras Turbo will be available for sale next month and will range in price from Rs 7.99 lakh to Rs 8.75 lakh (ex-showroom).
3. Toyota Fortuner facelift
After introducing the Innova Christa Facelift in India, Toyota's focus is on Fortuner. While the SUV is only destined to receive a midlife makeover. Hopefully new visuals can also be updated with some new features.
It is expected to get a 2.7-liter petrol and 2.8-liter Deezer powertrain, but the engine may be better tuned than before. The diesel mill currently produces 177PS and 420Nm (450 Nm with 6-speed AT). However after the update it will be rated at 204PS / 500Nm. The petrol powertrain will be kept in the same tune mode i.e. 166PS / 245Nm.
