Kia Sonet:
Kia has already created ripples in the Indian SUV market with the Seltos which was launched in August 2019. Afterwards, the company launched the Carnival premium MPV which again proved to be a segment disputer.
Now the South Korean automaker is eyeing the compact SUV segment with the Sonet. The same was even revealed at the Auto Expo 2020 as near-production concept. The Sonet will basically be a rival to the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Hyundai Venue. Expect it to be priced in the range of ₹7 lakh to ₹9.5 lakh (ex-showroom). It will roll-out some time around August this year.
Tata Gravitas:
Tata Gravitas is one of the most major launches which will take place in 2020 from the house of Tata Motors. It is the 7-seat version of the Tata Harrier and the resemblance of both the SUVs in terms of exterior design is uncanny. The Gravitas will be targeted at a sightly different set of customers who need a little extra from the Harrier's package but doesn't want to go with any other body style. The Tata Gravitas launch date is expected around mid-2020. It's pricing will be slight higher than the Harrier.
