BYD will debut its Denza luxury brand in India on 13th November 2026, the first in a run of car launches expected through early 2027. The Chinese maker will open with the D9 luxury MPV and the Z9 GT, a high-performance shooting brake.
Prices for both are due on launch day. BYD is described as the world's largest maker of new-energy vehicles. The two Denza models are expected to shake up the market and challenge rivals.
November launches
Toyota is set to launch a facelifted Innova Hycross on the 25th of November. A facelift is a mid-life styling update. The car is expected to get a new front end inspired by the latest Hilux pickup truck.
Inside, updates are expected to include dual 12.3-inch screens for infotainment and instruments, plus new upholstery.
Mini brings the Cooper EV to India on 27th November. It pairs a 218 bhp, 330 Nm electric motor with a 54.2 kWh battery pack. The claimed range is around 400 km.
December: electric and hybrid bets
Honda launches the Alpha on 2nd December. It will be the company's first electric car for India, and it is also meant for export. The battery pack could range from 65 kWh to 75 kWh, driving the front wheels through a single motor.
On 4th December, JSW Group launches JSW Combat, the first product from its new standalone brand, JSW Motors. It is based on the Chery Jetour T2 SUV. India is said to get the plug-in hybrid version, with a 1.5-liter petrol engine and an 18.4 kWh battery. Total combined range is put at up to 1,100 km.
Mahindra is set to launch a new Electric Origin SUV, or a new version of a current one, on 8th December. The launch is not confirmed. The most probable vehicle is the BE 6 Rall-E, which is still on test. Other possibilities include new versions of the XEV 9e or XEV 9S, or the production BE 7.
Volkswagen's Virtus facelift launches on 11th December. The company has already revealed it in pictures. The update is not comprehensive and the car looks much the same. That could suit a model that is currently the best-seller in its segment.
January 2027 and beyond
Mahindra could launch the production version of its Vision S concept on 11th or 12th January. It is speculated to be called Scorpio Sport. It would bring the Scorpio nameplate into the high-volume sub-4m segment.
Tata Motors is expected to launch the Safari EV in January 2027, on 13th or 14th January. It is likely to share the powertrain and dual-motor configurations of the Harrier EV. It should also get the triple-screen layout from the Sierra EV and flexible third-row seating.
Early 2027 is also expected to bring more launches and unveilings, especially at the 2027 Bharat Mobility Expo.
