Throughout 2023, the automotive industry has seen a flurry of exciting new car launches, from facelifts to entirely new models. As the year draws to a close, the pace of new releases is slowing down, but there are still some highly anticipated cars set to debut, both on the local and global stage. In this article, we’ll delve into five such vehicles expected to be launched or unveiled in November.
1. Mercedes-Benz GLE Facelift
The facelifted Mercedes-Benz GLE, which made its global debut earlier this year, is set to launch in India on November 2. This updated SUV features subtle cosmetic enhancements, improved features, and cleaner powertrain options. The India-spec model is likely to continue offering the 3-liter diesel engine while possibly introducing a petrol option. Anticipated pricing for this model starts at approximately Rs 93 lakh (ex-showroom).
2. Mercedes-AMG C43
In addition to the revamped GLE, Mercedes will also introduce the latest C43 AMG. This sporty performance sedan boasts a potent 2-liter turbo-petrol engine, surpassing the power output of its previous-generation 3-liter six-cylinder unit. The Mercedes C43 AMG is expected to be competitively priced just under the Rs 1 crore mark (ex-showroom).
3. Tata Punch EV
Tata has been busy launching a range of cars, including petrol, diesel, and electric models in recent months, such as the Nexon facelift, Harrier facelift, and Safari facelift. The Tata Punch EV is the latest addition to their electric vehicle lineup. This compact EV, featuring design elements reminiscent of the new Tata Nexon EV, is anticipated to offer a claimed range of over 500 km. The electric version of the Punch is expected to start at Rs 12 lakh (ex-showroom).
4. New-gen Renault Duster
Renault is gearing up for the global unveiling of the third-generation Duster on November 29. The new Duster will have its first public appearance in Portugal under the Dacia brand, which is Renault’s budget-oriented subsidiary. It will showcase the carmaker’s fresh design language and will come with multiple petrol powertrain options. While it’s unlikely to hit the Indian market until 2025, the new Duster is expected to be competitively priced, starting at around Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom).
5. Fourth-gen Skoda Superb
The Skoda Superb disappeared from the Indian market some time ago, leaving enthusiasts eagerly awaiting its return. Recently, Skoda unveiled exterior design sketches of the 2024 Superb, which is set for a global reveal on November 2. The new Superb adopts Skoda’s contemporary Modern Solid design language and will offer petrol, diesel, and hybrid engine options. Although not slated for a launch this year, we anticipate it will grace Indian shores in the coming year. The India-spec Skoda Superb is expected to be priced starting at Rs 40 lakh (ex-showroom).
As November unfolds, car enthusiasts have much to look forward to with these anticipated launches and unveilings. Whether you’re a fan of luxury SUVs, performance sedans, electric vehicles, or elegant design, the automotive world has something in store for you this month.
