Upcoming Car Launches & Unveils (April 2026)

April 2026 is set to be an active month for the Indian automotive industry, with multiple carmakers lining up new launches and unveilings across segments. April's launches and reveals include a few all-new models, a much-awaited facelift, and additions to both the mass-market and premium segments of the Indian car market. Three of the five cars and SUVs (Toyota Ebella, MG Majestor, and Mercedes-Benz CLA), set to launch next month, have already been revealed to the public, and April will see their manufacturers finally release prices for the trio. The other two SUVs set to arrive in April 2026 include an all-new Nissan SUV (more on that later) and a mid-life facelift for the Volkswagen Taigun compact SUV. So let's take a look at the new cars and SUVs set to be launched or revealed next month...

Volkswagen Taigun Facelift

Volkswagen will launch the facelifted Taigun SUV on April 9. This will be the first major update for the compact SUV since its launch in India.in 2021. The Volkswagen Taigun facelift is expected to see changes similar to what its VW Group sibling, the Skoda Kushaq, recently got with its own mid-life facelift. The Volkswagen Taigun facelift is expected to bring slight revisions to the exterior design and an updated feature list, which could include massaging rear seats. While the Taigun facelift will continue with the existing 1.0-litre and 1.5-litre TSI petrol engine options, the former is expected to be offered with the new 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox that debuted on the Kushaq facelift.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella

Japanese carmaker Toyota will announce prices for the Urban Cruiser Ebella during the month of April. The Toyota Ebella was revealed to the public a few weeks back, and we've already had the chance to get behind its wheel and take it for a first drive. This Urban Cruiser Ebella will mark Toyota's entry into the mass-market electric SUV space in India. The Ebella is, in essence, a badge-swapped version of the Maruti Suzuki eVitara and shares most of its design, along with its feature list and electric powertrain options. The Ebella offers a range of 543km on a single charge from its larger 61kWh battery pack (a smaller 49kWh unit is also offered). Like the eVitara, Toyota is expected to offer the Ebella with Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) along with the "regular" full ownership model. Expect prices for the Ebella to be at a slight premium to the eVitara from Maruti Suzuki.

 MG Majestor

JSW MG Motor India is expected to finally reveal the prices of the Majestor SUV in April 2026, ahead of the start of deliveries in May. The new MG Majestor is positioned as the firm's flagship D-Segment SUV (not including the MG Select offerings) and will sit above the Gloster in its Indian lineup. Pre-bookings for the massive MG Gloster, which we had a chance to take a proper first look at recently, are already underway. The MG Majestor is powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.0-litre diesel engine that pushes out 213bhp and 478Nm of peak torque. The Majestor is offered in both 2WD and 4WD options, with the latter offering multiple terrain modes and triple locking differentials.

Mercedes-Benz CLA

German luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz will launch the new-generation CLA in India during the month of April 2026. The new CLA has ditched its ICE roots for an all-electric powertrain with a claimed WLTP range of 792km on a single charge for the top-spec CLA 250+Long Range variant. The Mercedes-Benz CLA electric sedan is also offered with a smaller battery pack in the CLA 200 variant, with both versions boasting an 800V EV architecture. This allows for charging speeds of up to 240kW when connected to a compatible DC fast charger, which Mercedes claims allows the CLA to reclaim 400km of range with just a 20-minute stint at the charger. Prices for the Mercedes-Benz CLA are expected to range between ₹55 lakh and ₹59 lakh (ex-showroom).

 Nissan Tekton

Nissan is expected to unveil its brand new C-SUV, the Tekton, for the Indian market next month. The upcoming Nissan Tekton will be based on the new-generation Renault Duster and will share its platform and powertrain options with the recently launched French SUV. While it will share its platform and mechanicals with the Duster, the Nissan Tekton is expected to differentiate itself from its French sibling with a rather distinct design and a more premium interior. Prices for the Nissan Tekton are expected to be revealed in the second half of 2026.
