The king of hatchbacks is set to enter its fourth generation. The all-new Swift is arguably the most-awaited launch of the year, and Maruti Suzuki is timing its arrival perfectly for the Diwali rush.

Expected Price: ₹6.49 lakh – ₹9.60 lakh (ex-showroom)
Key Features: The new Swift features a sharper, more evolutionary design. The biggest change is under the hood: it will be powered by a brand-new 1.2-litre Z-Series 3-cylinder petrol engine. This new engine is designed to deliver even higher fuel efficiency, with a claimed mileage that could exceed 25 km/l. The interior is also completely redesigned, featuring a new dashboard with a free-standing 9-inch touchscreen, similar to the Baleno.

The undisputed king of the mid-size SUV segment, the Hyundai Creta, is getting its first major facelift. The updated model will feature a radical new design and a host of new features to fend off growing competition.

Expected Price: ₹11.25 lakh – ₹20.50 lakh (ex-showroom)
Key Features: The Creta facelift will adopt Hyundai’s new “Parametric” design language, featuring a completely redesigned front grille, vertically stacked LED headlamps, and connected LED tail lamps, similar to the new Verna and the global Palisade.
