The Indian auto market will see a variety of vehicle introductions in April 2023, from inexpensive EVs to opulent SUVs. The Comet EV from MG Motors, the Fronx from Maruti Suzuki, and the RX from Lexus will all be unveiled to compete with the Mercedes GLE and BMW X5. For automotive fans, each offering promises something special and intriguing.
Maruti Suzuki Fronx
The forthcoming Fronx from Maruti Suzuki is a subcompact SUV that will go up against the Nissan Magnite and the Renault Kiger. It will have a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine and a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder normally aspirated petrol engine that is both derived from the Baleno platform. A 9-inch SmartPlay Pro+ infotainment system, wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless phone charging, HUD, connected car technology, and cruise control are just a few of the interior amenities that the Fronx and Baleno will have in common. The Fronx is anticipated to cost between 7 lakh and 11 lakh.
MG Comet
The Comet EV, a 2-door compact EV from MG Motors, will be the smallest vehicle in their inventory and one of the most affordable EVs available, with a starting price of about 10 lakhs. While in a different market sector from the Tata Tiago EV and Citroen eC3, the Comet EV will compete with them. The Air EV from Wuling, already popular in areas like Indonesia, will serve as its foundation. The vehicle is anticipated to seat four passengers, have a battery pack capacity of 20 to 25 kWh, and have 68 PS of power. The interior highlights are two 10.25-inch screens, dual-tone interiors, connected car technology, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a sunroof.
Lexus RX
Two models of Lexus' luxury crossover SUV, the RX350h and RX500h, are slated to go on sale in April 2023. The former will have a 2.5-litre petrol turbocharged engine that is available and makes 247 HP. It will go from 0 to 100 km/h in around 8 seconds and have an AWD option. The latter will have a stronger hybrid 2.4-litre turbo-petrol engine with standard all-wheel drive, producing 366 PS and 460 Nm of torque. The interiors should be elegant and furnished with the most modern conveniences and tools. With a price that is anticipated to be over 1.1 crore Rupees, it will compete with high-end SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz GLE, Audi Q7, BMW X5, and Land Rover Discovery Sport.
