6 upcoming SUVs to launch in December: BMW XM to Toyota Hyryder CNG

SUV is currently the most popular body style in the world. Because of this, most manufacturers are focusing on introducing more SUVs in their line-up. The end of the year is almost here and there are still some new vehicles that will be launched in the Indian market. Not surprisingly most of them are SUVs. Here, are 6 SUVs that will be launching next month.

Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder CNG

The CNG powertrain of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder will be shared with the Grand Vitara CNG.

In November, Toyota announced that they will be selling Glanza and Urban Cruiser Hyryder's CNG version. They announced the prices of the Glanza CNG but they didn't reveal the pricing of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder CNG. It is expected that the CNG powertrain of Toyota Hyryder will launch next month. It will be powered by Maruti's 1.5-litre K-Series engine. It will come mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Toyota claims a fuel efficiency figure of 26.10 km/kg.

Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara CNG

Grand Vitara is the newest Maruti Suzuki model in the Indian car market.

With Toyota offering a CNG powertrain for Urban Cruiser Hyryder, it only makes sense that Maruti Suzuki will also offer a CNG powertrain for their Grand Vitara SUV, considering both are essentially the same vehicles. Maruti Suzuki is currently leading the CNG segment in India because they have the most CNG vehicles. It would also come with a 1.5-litre engine and a 5-speed gearbox. The fuel efficiency figure should be around the 26 km/kg mark.

BMW has heavily revised the front end of the X7 and the interior is also updated with a new instrument cluster and an infotainment system.
