Upcoming December 2025 SUV – India is preparing to receive two completely new SUVs in December 2025 – the second-generation Kia Seltos and the eagerly awaited Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. While the latter has informed about the e-Vitara pricing that will be disclosed on December 2, 2025, the new-gen Seltos will have its global launch in India and South Korea on December 10, 2025. It is expected that the new Seltos will be available for sale in January 2026.
Maruti Suzuki e Vitara
The Maruti Suzuki e Vitara is the first global electric SUV of Suzuki and it is based on the new e HEARTECT platform. The assembly of the e Vitara at the Gujarat factory of Suzuki in India is already underway. For Indian customers, the two battery options of 48.9kWh and 61.1kWh will be available, both of which will come with a front-axle electric motor. The higher-end version is likely to have a certified driving range of up to 500 kilometers on one charge. It also has the fast-charging feature; thus, the 61.1kWh battery can be recharged from 0 to 80 percent in just 50 minutes. The e-Vitara will be having a host of features including a 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, digital instrument panel, fixed glass roof, ventilated front seats, and 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat. Moreover, the SUV will come with seven airbags, a 360-degree camera for surround view, an electronic parking brake with auto hold, a tire pressure monitoring system, blind spot monitoring, all-wheel brakes, and Level 2 ADAS as safety features. The e-Vitara is expected to be priced around ₹18 lakh to ₹25 lakh which will make it a strong rival to the Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6, and the upcoming Tata Sierra EV.
New-Gen Kia Seltos
The second-generation Kia Seltos was caught for testing on Indian roads several times, and a design influenced by the larger Kia Telluride was uncovered. The new Seltos has an angular design, which adds to its already luxurious and dominating appearance. The cabin is likely to be even more comfortable and better equipped, to say nothing of its design taking cues from Kia’s larger offerings like Carnival and EV9. The new Seltos will have a connected screen setup in the Syros style with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a five-inch climate control screen, and a 12.3-inch infotainment unit. The new Kia Seltos will start with both petrol and diesel engine options still having the existing 1.5-liter naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5-liter turbo petrol, and 1.5-liter turbo diesel engines. The hybrid version of the Seltos is likely to be on the market in 2027.
