From most expected models like the Mahindra Thar Roxx to 1 of 500 limited editions like the BMW XM Label Red, the month of September has given us with several new launches. Even though October might not be as hectic, automakers from a variety of markets have planned new releases to take advantage of the holiday season. This is a list of every vehicle that will go on sale in India in October 2024.
2024 Kia Carnival
On October 3, 2024, Kia plans to introduce two models in India, the first of which will be the 2024 Carnival. The luxury MPV has already been unveiled by the automaker, and reservations are being accepted. The price is anticipated to start at Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom). Here’s a quick rundown of it.
There will be two versions of the 2024 Carnival—Limousine and Limousine Plus—each with a single seven-seat configuration. The car’s key features include a 12-speaker Bose sound system, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, an automated temperature control system, powered and ventilated front seats, and linked car technology. A 2.2-liter diesel engine producing 193 PS and 441 Nm will power the Carnival, and it will be mated to an 8-speed automated transmission. It will function as a high-end substitute for the Toyota Innova Hycross and Maruti Invicto.
Kia EV9
In addition, Kia will introduce the EV9, its priciest all-electric vehicle in India, concurrently with Carnival. It would retail for approximately Rs 80 lakh (ex-showroom) and be offered as a completely imported model. The SUV is reportedly available for booking at a few shops for Rs 10 lakh.
The EV9 from Kia is expected to have a stated range of 561 kilometers when equipped with a 99.8 kWh battery pack and a dual-motor system that generates 384 PS and 700 Nm. It will have amenities including ambient lighting, power-adjustable seats for every row, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, and a 12.3-inch infotainment system. When it debuts, it will compete with high-end SUVs such as the Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV, BMW iX, and Audi Q8 e-tron.
Nissan Magnite Facelift
The October 4 debut of the 2024 Magnite facelift has been hinted to by Nissan. It is anticipated to have new features and a redesigned cabin with a larger infotainment system in addition to stylistic changes.
Regarding the drivetrain, we anticipate Nissan will provide the 2024 Magnite with two engine options: a 1-liter naturally aspirated petrol unit with 72 PS and a 1-liter turbo-petrol unit with 100 PS. There will be manual and automatic transmission choices for both engine variants. In terms of cost, the revised Magnite is anticipated to fetch a marginally higher price than the current model, which is priced at Rs 5.99 lakh (ex-showroom).
BYD eMAX 7
On October 8, 2024, the facelifted BYD e6, also known as the eMAX 7, is scheduled to debut in India. Additionally, BYD has revealed exclusive offers for the first 1,000 reservations made for the electric MPV. It is anticipated to be equipped with features including ventilated front seats, a wireless phone charger, a panoramic glass top, and a 12.8-inch spinning touchscreen infotainment system.
Six airbags, a 360-degree camera system, Level-2 ADAS, and all-wheel disc brakes are probably on the list of safety features. It has two powertrain options accessible globally, with a stated range of up to 530 km; however, the specifics of the India-spec powertrain are still pending.
2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class LWB
October 9 is when Mercedes-Benz will introduce the 2024 E-Class, which was first unveiled earlier this month. The design of the new E-Class has been updated to give it a more streamlined and refined appearance. A 14.4-inch infotainment system, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, and a separate 12.3-inch display for the front passenger make up the triple screen arrangement inside. A panoramic sunroof, a 17-speaker Burmester 4D sound system, motorized front seats, and a four-zone temperature control system are among the additional goodies.
Two engine options are available for the 2024 E-Class: a 2-liter turbo-petrol and a 2-liter diesel engine, both of which are paired with a mild hybrid system. Pricing is anticipated to start at Rs 80 lakh (ex-showroom).
