The Indian automotive market is experiencing an upward trend, prompting several manufacturers to launch new vehicles. Tata and Hyundai are at the forefront, with the Tata Punch receiving a mid-life facelift and the next-generation Hyundai Venue preparing for launch. The Tata Punch facelift will feature updated bumpers and interior features. The interior is expected to include a larger infotainment screen and a new steering wheel. The engine options, including the 1.2-liter petrol and CNG variants, are anticipated to remain unchanged. The new Hyundai Venue will draw design inspiration from the Hyundai Alcazar and Creta models, featuring interior upgrades. Buyers will have the choice of 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol, 1.0L turbocharged petrol, and 1.5L diesel engines, with both manual and automatic transmission options available. Furthermore, Tata Motors is planning to launch petrol variants of the Harrier and Safari by the end of 2025, powered by a 1.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine.
