Looking For A Diesel SUV? – 4 New Models Coming Soon

In the past decade, diesel-powered cars have witnessed a decline in sales due to governmental restrictions and shifting consumer preferences towards alternative powertrains like hybrid, CNG, petrol, and more recently, EVs. Despite these trends, diesel cars maintain popularity across various segments, owing to their fuel efficiency, robust power delivery, and competitive pricing. While brands like Maruti Suzuki and Honda have phased out diesel vehicles entirely, others such as Hyundai, Mahindra, Tata, and Toyota remain committed to diesel-powered offerings. For those seeking diesel SUVs, four new models are set to debut this year, each bringing unique features to the table. Let’s explore the key details of these upcoming diesel SUVs.

Mahindra XUV300 Facelift

New Mahindra XUV300

The updated Mahindra XUV300 is set to go on sale in the upcoming weeks. Expected to retain its existing 1.5L diesel engine alongside turbo petrol variants, reports suggest the introduction of a more potent 131bhp, 1.2L turbo petrol engine paired with a new 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox sourced from Aisin. Cosmetic updates and feature enhancements inspired by the new Mahindra XUV400 EV include a redesigned dashboard with integrated dual 10.25-inch screens, panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, 360-degree camera, and rear AC vents.

Hyundai Alcazar Facelift

New Alcazar

Anticipated to hit the roads by mid-2024, the 2024 Hyundai Alcazar facelift is likely to adopt design cues from the new Creta. Expect updates such as a redesigned front grille, tweaked bumpers, revamped headlamp assembly and DRLs, new alloy wheels, and revised taillights. Interior upgrades may include a new dashboard akin to the Creta, along with the addition of features like a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, ventilated seats, dual 10.25-inch screens, and potentially ADAS tech. Powertrain options are expected to remain unchanged, with the 1.5L turbo diesel and 2.0L petrol engines retaining their specifications.

Tata Curvv

Tata Curvv Diesel

Touted as a flagship launch from Tata Motors, the Curvv is confirmed to debut initially with an electric powertrain, followed by an ICE-powered version later. The diesel variant is expected to share its engine with the Nexon, offering 115bhp and 260Nm of torque, while the petrol variant will introduce Tata’s new 1.2L engine producing 125bhp and 225Nm of torque. Transmission options will include a 6-speed manual, 6-speed AMT, and 7-speed DCT automatic. Positioned against rivals like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos, the Curvv showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo promises to be a compelling contender in its segment.

Mahindra Thar 5-Door

5-door Mahindra Thar Launch Date

Scheduled for debut on August 15, 2024, the Mahindra Thar 5-Door, possibly named ‘Mahindra Thar Armada,’ promises enhanced spaciousness compared to its 3-door counterpart. Offering a plethora of features including a larger touchscreen infotainment system, dual-tone interior theme, single-pane sunroof, hill descent control, rear AC vents, digital instrument console, and more, the Thar 5-Door aims to elevate the driving experience. Powering options include the Scorpio N’s 2.0L turbo petrol and 2.2L turbo diesel engines, available with both 4X2 and 4X4 drivetrain layouts, bolstered by Scorpio N’s penta-link suspension for superior stability and performance.
