December 2025 is packed with major car launches across multiple segments—EVs, petrol SUVs, facelifts, and even premium convertibles. For buyers planning a new purchase before the year ends, this month brings several high-impact releases from Maruti Suzuki, Kia, Tata Motors, and Mini. Here’s a detailed look at all the models launching in India this December.
Maruti Suzuki e Vitara – Launch on 2 December
Maruti Suzuki will begin the month with one of its most anticipated launches—the e Vitara, the brand’s first fully electric SUV in India. After multiple delays, Maruti is finally set to reveal prices on 2 December 2025.
The e Vitara is being manufactured at Maruti’s Gujarat EV facility, which has already exported 6,000 units to Europe and the UK. For India, it will be offered with 49kWh and 69kWh battery packs, each paired with a front-mounted single motor. Maruti claims a driving range of up to 500km, positioning it as one of the longest-range EVs in its class.
Variant details, features, and charging options for the India-spec model will be officially confirmed at the launch. With strong interest building around the brand’s first BEV, the e Vitara is expected to play a major role in Maruti’s upcoming electric portfolio.
Tata Harrier & Safari Petrol – Launch on 9 December
Tata Motors will follow soon after, introducing its all-new 1.5-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol engine on 9 December. This new engine will debut on the Harrier and Safari, expanding both SUVs beyond their diesel-only lineup.
Originally showcased at Auto Expo 2023, the petrol motor is expected to produce strong mid-range performance and could be paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic similar to the new Sierra. With this addition, Tata aims to offer a more affordable entry point for customers who prefer a smoother, quieter petrol driving experience.
Final power figures, variant distribution, and pricing will be announced on launch day.
New Kia Seltos – Launch on 10 December
The ever-popular Kia Seltos is getting a major update this month, with the facelift scheduled for 10 December. The refreshed model is expected to feature new exterior styling elements, redesigned front and rear bumpers, updated LED signatures, and fresh alloy wheels.
Interior changes may include a revamped dashboard layout, upgraded materials, and new tech additions. While the existing petrol and diesel engines are likely to continue, industry reports suggest a possible hybrid variant may be under consideration—though not confirmed.
With competition intensifying in the mid-size SUV segment, Kia aims to reassert the Seltos as one of the top picks for 2026.
Mini Cooper Convertible – Price Reveal in December
Mini India will wrap up the month with the launch of the new Mini Cooper Convertible, with prices set to be announced before the end of December. Bookings are already open.
A major highlight is its electrically operated fabric roof, which can open or close in 18 seconds at up to 30kmph. It uses the same 201bhp 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and 7-speed DCT gearbox found in the hard-top Cooper S. Expect the Convertible to cost ₹1–1.5 lakh more than the hatchback.
The model is expected to attract enthusiasts looking for a stylish, premium, open-top driving experience.
Conclusion
December 2025 brings a strong mix of EV innovation, petrol performance, and stylish lifestyle vehicles. Whether you’re in the market for a long-range electric SUV like the Maruti e Vitara, a refreshed mid-size SUV like the new Kia Seltos, or Tata’s powerful new petrol offerings, this month promises something for every buyer. As the year concludes, these launches are set to shape India’s automotive trends heading into 2026.
