As the new financial year commences, several automakers have implemented price increases on their existing cars, citing rising input costs. For those considering the purchase of a new vehicle amid these price hikes, various car manufacturers plan to launch new models in India during April. Below is a list of anticipated car launches for that month.
Citroen Basalt Dark Edition
Citroen will introduce a Dark Edition of the Basalt next month. A recently released teaser video suggests a new black exterior shade will be available, joining the existing five color options. The model is expected to feature blacked-out front and rear skid plates, unique badging, and dark chrome alloy wheels. Similar blacked-out styling is anticipated for the cabin of the Basalt.
Volkswagen Tiguan R Line
Scheduled for launch on April 14, 2025, the Tiguan R Line will serve as Volkswagen’s most premium SUV offering in India. This new SUV is 30mm longer than the previous-generation Tiguan currently available. It will showcase updated styling, including redesigned headlights, sportier front and rear bumpers, 19-inch alloy wheels, R Line side panels, full-width LED light strips, and a rear spoiler.
Tata Curvv Dark Edition
The Tata Curvv will soon receive a Dark Edition, following the trend set by the Nexon, Harrier, and Safari models. Available exclusively in the top-spec Accomplished trim, the Curvv Dark Edition will feature an all-black color scheme for both interior and exterior elements.
MG Cyberster
MG will launch its first all-electric sports car, the Cyberster, in India in April, with sales limited to MG Select premium showrooms. The design of the Cyberster includes an upward-swooping fascia, a long bonnet, standard 20-inch wheels, arrow-shaped tail-lamps connected by an LED strip, and scissor doors.
Skoda Kodiaq
The new-generation Kodiaq will feature updated styling that aligns with Skoda’s global models. The front will include Kushaq-inspired headlights, a new grille, and a redesigned bumper. The side profile will present smoother lines compared to the outgoing model, with door-mounted wing mirrors and new alloy wheels. The rear end will feature connected tail-lamps and prominent cladding.
Kia Carens Facelift
The Kia Carens MPV is set to receive a facelift three years after its initial launch in India. Kia plans to market this updated model alongside the current version. The facelift will introduce a new name, and spy images have indicated a higher bonnet line for an SUV-like appearance, along with Syros-inspired headlamps, vertically-oriented tail-lamps with an LED light bar, and new 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels.
