10 Compact SUVs Set to Launch in India by 2028 The compact SUV segment in India is poised for a significant transformation over the next few years, with a wave of new models and updates expected to hit the market between 2026 and 2028. Automakers such as Honda, Hyundai, Tata, Kia, and Renault are planning to introduce electric, hybrid, petrol, and CNG-powered options, aiming to cater to diverse consumer preferences while addressing the growing demand for modern technology, space, and efficiency. This surge in activity highlights the segment’s competitiveness and its role as a key driver of the Indian automotive industry. The Honda Sub-4-Metre SUV is set to debut in early 2028, marking the Japanese automaker’s entry into the sub-4-metre SUV category. Based on the latest Amaze platform, this model is expected to feature a 1.2-litre petrol engine with potential hybrid technology, positioning it as a contender in a segment it has previously overlooked. Hyundai’s compact electric SUV is scheduled for a late 2026 or early 2027 launch. With a real-world range of approximately 400 km, the vehicle aims to provide an affordable and practical electric option for mainstream buyers. Tata’s next-generation Nexon is anticipated to arrive in late 2027. The updated version will include a longer wheelbase, a fully revised body design, and multiple powertrains such as turbo petrol, iCNG, and pure electric. This evolution is expected to maintain the Nexon’s position as India’s best-selling compact SUV. Kia’s new Sonet is also likely to launch by late 2027, featuring a move to a new platform with extended dimensions. The model will incorporate modern technology, a refreshed exterior, and enhanced interior features to align with contemporary design trends.#tata_nexon #honda_sub_4_metre_suv #hyundai_compact_electric_suv #kia_sonet #renault_bridger
