One of the major events in the automotive sector, the Auto Expo is awaited by the brands as a chance to unveil and show their latest vehicles. The 16th Auto Expo is now slated to take place in January 2023. Many automakers will take advantage of this chance to display their newest models and introduce new SUVs to the Indian market. In this post, we'll explore the upcoming SUVs that will premiere at the 2023 Auto Expo.
Hyundai Creta Facelift
The Hyundai Creta is one of the most popular mid-size SUVs on the Indian market, and an update has long been overdue. In the upcoming event, Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) might introduce the Creta facelift. A Tucson-inspired look and new features, including ADAS capabilities, may be included in the Creta facelift. Furthermore, given that the current engine options are well-knownknown in the market, Hyundai might not change the available engines.

2023 Tata Harrier
Tata Motors is on a spree of launching new products onto the market. The brand has been testing the Harrier facelift for a while, and Auto Expo 2023 may see its unveiling. Tata Harrier's facelift for 2023 has been spotted multiple times. This updated model is said to offer a fresh appearance and maybe ADAS support. The company might also unveil the new Harrier engine, which would probably be a petrol-powered unit. While the 2.0-liter FIAT-sourced engine for the diesel engine is anticipated to remain the same.
Maruti Suzuki Jimny 5-Door
The Jimny SUV is one of Maruti Suzuki's most anticipated products. The brand is testing the Jimny intensively because it will be a rival to the Thar. The Jimny is spotted being tested on high-altitude terrain in recent spy pictures. It is available from Suzuki with a 1.5-Lt K15C engine that has a 100 bhp peak power and 130 Nm peak torque. The Indian version is also anticipated to maintain the same worldwide motor. Additionally, it will have the same boxy style as its three-door sibling on the market in other countries.
Maruti Suzuki Baleno Cross
For the Indian market, Maruti Suzuki is also testing a new SUV. The S-Cross has just been discontinued by the automaker, and its replacement, the Baleno Cross (YTB), could make its premiere at the 2023 Auto Expo. The Baleno Cross is said to be based on the Heartect platform, according to numerous reports on the internet. The new Vitara Brezza and the actual Baleno both use the same platform. Additionally, it could use the same 1.5-Lt K15C engine with mild and full hybrid technology. But it will presumably also be made available with a new engine.

Mahindra Thar 5-Door
With the Thar, XUV700, and new Scorpio N SUVs, Mahindra has experienced tremendous growth in popularity. At the Auto Expo in 2023, the company may now introduce the Thar 5-door. The front profile of the impending 5-door Thar has now been spotted. The vehicle had already been spotted with its five doors open. The brand will be in a better position to entice more buyers toward this lifestyle UV with the introduction of the Mahindra Thar 5-door. As far as the engine is concerned, we may anticipate the same 2.0-liter gasoline and 2.2-liter diesel engines mated to 6-speed manual and automated transmissions.
Verdict: The introduction of the aforementioned upcoming SUVs at the Auto Expo 2023 has not been verified by any automaker. Therefore, at this time, these are simply speculation. Which will be released and which will only be exhibited is unclear.
