Upcoming Cars, SUVs Launching In December 2024

2024 is almost over but the launches for the year aren’t. While December may not have a lot of new cars or facelifts being launched, it does have new nameplates coming to the market, as well as new generations of popular models.

Skoda Kylaq

Expected price: ₹7.89 - 14 lakh (ex-showroom, India)

Launch: December 2, 2024

Skoda India had already announced the starting price of its new subcompact SUV, the Kylaq, at its global debut. Prices for the Kylaq start at ₹7.89 lakh and it is expected to top out around ₹14 lakh. The Kylaq is available with a single 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine churning out 114 bhp and 178 Nm, mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox. It is expected to get four trims – Classic, Signature, Signature+ and Prestige. 

Honda Amaze

Expected price: ₹7.50 lakh - 10.50 lakh (ex-showroom, India)

Launch: December 4, 2024

The Amaze has been a popular car for Honda in India, followed by the City but recent sales numbers have been on a decline. To change that, Honda is launching the third generation of the Amaze, which will give a tough fight to the newly launched Maruti Suzuki Dzire. The new Amaze is likely to have the same 1.2-litre petrol engine as before and it is expected to come with ADAS, making it the first subcompact sedan in India to get this safety feature. 

Toyota Camry

Expected price: ₹50 lakh (ex-showroom, India)

Launch: December 11, 2024

The Camry is a beloved model in India and it has been available in our markets for a long time. The Camry, now in its 9th generation, is coming to India a year after its global debut. The Camry will be a competitor to the Skoda Superb in a dwindling luxury sedan market. Toyota’s new flagship sedan will get a 2.5-litre petrol-hybrid powertrain. Globally, the Camry gets front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive layout but it remains to be seen which version will come to India. 

Kia Syros

Expected price: ₹9 - 14 lakh (ex-showroom, India)

Unveil: December 19, 2024

Kia’s second subcompact SUV, the Syros, will make its global debut in India. While there is no confirmation about the price announcement, there is a high chance it could happen during the global unveiling or Kia will just divulge the starting price of the Syros. The Syros will slot between Sonet and Seltos in the brand’s lineup and will be a more premium offering compared to the Sonet. It is likely to come with the same powertrain options as the Sonet.
