Mechanically, it will continue with the existing engine options. These include a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 115 hp and 178 Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox.

Mercedes-Benz has already showcased the all-electric CLA in India, and its official price announcement is anticipated in April. The model marks the return of the CLA badge in a new electric avatar.

Globally, the CLA EV is offered in two variants: CLA 250+ and CLA 350, both equipped with an 85 kWh battery pack. The CLA 250+ uses a rear-mounted motor generating 268 hp and 335 Nm, and claims a WLTP range of up to 792 km. The CLA 350, on the other hand, features a dual-motor setup producing 349 hp and 515 Nm, offering higher performance.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella

First unveiled earlier this year, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella is essentially a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara and is expected to go on sale in April 2026.

The electric SUV comes with two battery options: 49 kWh and 61 kWh. The larger battery variant is paired with a 171.6 hp motor delivering 189 Nm of torque, while the smaller pack produces 106 hp.

Nissan Tekton

Nissan is preparing to introduce the Tekton as its new mid-size SUV, effectively replacing the Terrano. The model will share its underpinnings with the latest Renault Duster, including platform, components, and features.

Design-wise, the Tekton will distinguish itself with a front-end inspired by the Nissan Patrol, giving it a sharper and more road-focused appearance. It is expected to launch with 1.0-litre and 1.3-litre turbo-petrol engines initially, with a hybrid version based on a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated direct-injection petrol engine likely to follow in early 2027.
