Here we have explained about the six upcoming MPVs that are expected to launch within the next two to three years in India
The compact, midsize and premium MPV segments are all pumped to witness plenty of new arrivals in the coming years. Automakers like Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan and Citroen are expected to bring in new three-row offerings and here we have listed the possible upcoming models.
1. Nissan Compact MPV:
The upcoming Nissan MPV, underpinned by the Renault Kiger’s CMF-A+ platform, is set to be positioned aggressively in terms of pricing thanks to its high degree of localisation. Scheduled to roll out from the facility in Tamil Nadu, the MPV will use the familiar 1.0-litre naturally aspirated and turbocharged petrol engines. It may also debut Nissan’s latest design language and is expected to arrive before Nissan’s new five-seater C-segment SUV.
2&3. Maruti Suzuki YMC & Toyota Derivative:
Maruti Suzuki is all prepared to introduce the e Vitara, its first all-electric EV, next month in India and in the future, it will give rise to a three-row sibling in the form of YMC. The midsize MPV will have similarities with the e Vitara including the batteries and electric motors and it will be exported from Gujarat factory to several international markets as well. It will give rise to a Toyota sibling – likely sharing a lot with the upcoming Urban Cruiser BEV.
4. Maruti Suzuki Compact MPV:
Maruti Suzuki is reportedly working on a sub-four-metre MPV which could sit below the Ertiga. Expected to arrive in 2027 or 2028, it will draw heavy influence from the Spacia sold in Japan and it could be powered by an in-house developed strong hybrid petrol engine enabling a fuel efficiency of over 30 kmpl. It will emphasise practicality and frugality.
5. Hyundai MPV:
During its recent investors day presentation, Hyundai revealed plans to introduce seven brand new nameplates as part of a product strategy to launch 26 models for the Indian market by 2030. Among the upcoming launches, the company drew special attention to two vehicles – a new MPV and an SUV engineered with off-road capability. The MPV is expected to be positioned as a premium people mover – likely inspired by the Hyundai Stargazer currently sold in Indonesia.
6. Citroen e Spacetourer:
To likely be positioned to rival the likes of the MG M9 and BYD eMax 7, Citroën’s e-Spacetourer is said to be evaluated for India. Globally, the model is sold in two trim levels and offers both standard and extended wheelbase configurations. Powering the e-Spacetourer is a 75 kWh battery pack that delivers a claimed driving range of up to 348 km on a single charge.
