December 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most action-packed months for new car launches in India, with major unveilings across electric, petrol, and premium lifestyle segments. Buyers planning a year-end upgrade will have multiple high-impact options from Maruti Suzuki, Kia, Tata Motors, and Mini. Here’s a complete breakdown of all the cars launching in India this December.
Maruti Suzuki e Vitara – Launch on 2 December
Kicking off the month is one of Maruti Suzuki’s biggest launches ever—the e Vitara, the brand’s first fully electric SUV for the Indian market. After several delays, the EV will finally be priced on 2 December 2025.
Manufactured at Maruti’s dedicated Gujarat EV facility, the e Vitara has already seen strong demand overseas, with 6,000+ units exported to Europe and the UK. For India, it will be offered with two battery options:
- 49kWh battery pack
- 69kWh battery pack
Both variants use a front-mounted single motor, and Maruti is claiming a range of up to 500 km, placing the e Vitara among the longest-range EVs in its segment.
Full variant details, features, battery capabilities, and charging options will be revealed at launch. The e Vitara is expected to become a cornerstone model in Maruti’s expanding BEV portfolio.
Tata Harrier & Safari Petrol – Launch on 9 December
Next up is Tata Motors, which will introduce its highly anticipated 1.5-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol engine on 9 December. This engine will debut on the Harrier and Safari, adding a petrol option to two of Tata’s most popular SUVs, which have historically been diesel-only models.
First showcased at Auto Expo 2023, the engine is expected to deliver strong mid-range performance and will likely be paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic, similar to the one used in the new Sierra.
With this new powertrain, Tata aims to offer a smoother, quieter petrol option and a more affordable entry point into the Harrier and Safari lineup. Final power figures, variant distribution, and pricing will be confirmed at launch.
New Kia Seltos – Launch on 10 December
The Kia Seltos—one of India’s most successful mid-size SUVs—is set for a major update, with the facelift scheduled for 10 December. The upgraded Seltos will bring fresh styling and updated features to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving segment.
Expected exterior changes include:
- Redesigned front and rear bumpers
- New LED lighting signatures
- Updated grille
- New alloy wheels
Inside, buyers can expect improved materials, a more modern dashboard layout, and possible tech upgrades. While existing petrol and diesel engines are likely to continue, industry rumours suggest Kia may be evaluating a hybrid variant—but there is no official confirmation yet.
With strong rivals like the Creta, Grand Vitara, and Elevate, Kia is aiming to reassert the Seltos as a segment benchmark heading into 2026.
Mini Cooper Convertible – Price Reveal in December
Mini India will close the month with the launch of the new Mini Cooper Convertible, with prices set to be announced before the end of December. Bookings for the model are already open through official channels.
A key highlight is its electrically-operated fabric roof, which can fully open or close in 18 seconds at speeds of up to 30 kmph. Under the hood, the Convertible uses the same 201bhp, 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and 7-speed DCT gearbox found in the hardtop Cooper S.
Expect the Convertible to be priced around ₹1–1.5 lakh more than the hatchback, targeting buyers seeking a distinctive, premium, open-top driving experience.
Conclusion
December 2025 brings a compelling mix of electric innovation, new petrol powertrain options, and stylish lifestyle models. Whether you’re eyeing a long-range EV like the Maruti e Vitara, a refreshed mid-size SUV like the new Kia Seltos, or Tata’s upcoming petrol-powered Harrier and Safari, the month offers something for every type of buyer.
With multiple high-profile launches packed into a single month, December 2025 is poised to shape India’s automotive landscape as we move into 2026.
