Upcoming car launches in India in April 2026

The month of March 2026 saw a lot of exciting launches, including popular mid-size SUVs such as the Skoda Kushaq facelift and Renault Duster. The Hyundai Exter and Verna received their facelifts, while variants of the Kia Sonet and Tata Harrier EV were rejigged. Lexus launches its first EV, the ES 500e, in India. This string of exciting launches is expected to continue in April 2026 as well, with the MG Majestor and Volkswagen Taigun facelift going on sale. While Mercedes-Benz has confirmed an entry-level luxury EV launching in the month, Toyota is expected to reveal the prices of its first all-electric offering. 

Volkswagen Taigun facelift

Debut date: April 9, 2026

Pre-facelift Volkswagen Taigun used for representation purposes only. 

The Volkswagen Taigun has been on sale in India since 2021. Confirmed to debut in India on April 9, the Taigun facelift will follow the mid-cycle update of the Skoda Kushaq, also built on the same MQB-A0-IN platform. Like the Skoda sibling, the updated Taigun will be offered with a new 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox with the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol, with the other powertrain options remaining the same.

A left-hand-drive test mule of the updated SUV was recently spotted, hinting at a Tiguan-like connected LED headlight design, illuminated VW logos and sleeker LED taillights. The interior, yet to be spotted, is expected to be updated with a bigger 10.25-inch driver’s display, and a panoramic sunroof will also make its way. It will be interesting to see whether the Kushaq’s segment-only rear massaging seats are passed on to the Taigun or not.

MG Majestor

Debut date: Not revealed

The MG Majestor SUV, a rival to the Toyota Fortuner and an alternative to the Skoda Kodiaq and Tayron, will go on sale in April. While the manufacturer is yet to reveal the exact launch date of the Majestor, it is known that it will replace the Gloster as MG’s flagship ICE-powered offering. The 3-row will be offered in two trims: Sharp and Savvy, with a choice between 6 and 7 seats reserved for the fully-loaded trim. It will sport a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine that produces 215hp and 478Nm. MG will offer it with both rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD) setups.

It features 19-inch dual-tone alloy rims and flared wheel arches with black cladding in its profile. At the rear, it gets connected LED taillights and twin exhaust outlets for a sporty look. Inside, it gets a lot of soft-touch materials on the dashboard, dual 12.3-inch displays, a panoramic sunroof, a 360-degree camera and an ADAS suite.

Mercedes-Benz CLA EV

The CLA nameplate, slated to go on sale in an all-electric avatar in April, is one of the most-awaited Mercedes-Benz launches in India. It is the first model to be built on the manufacturer’s MMA platform and serves as a replacement to the A-Class sedan, as well as EQA and EQB eSUVs in India. It will be available in a single 250+ trim, and will be offered with an 85.5kWh battery pack with a WLTP-claimed range of 792km. It comes with a rear-axle-mounted electric motor that produces 272hp and 335Nm.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella

Debut expected in April

Toyota’s sibling to the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara, the Urban Cruiser Ebella, is also expected to be launched in April 2026. The eSUV debuted in January 2026 and is Toyota’s first all-electric offering in India. The Japanese manufacturer has revealed that the Ebella EV will be offered in three trims: E1, E2, and E3, with choices between a 49kWh and a 61kWh battery pack with a claimed range of up to 543km.

Compared to the e Vitara, the Urban Cruiser Ebella features a different fascia with sleeker headlights and a revised bumper, but a similar side profile and rear design. The interior is identical with amenities like dual-digital displays, a fixed single-pane glass roof, a 360-degree camera, Level-2 ADAS, a powered driver’s seat and ventilated front seats.
