5 Upcoming SUVs – JSW T2

This will be India’s first affordable plug-in hybrid SUV, which will be boxy and a game-changer. Based on the Jetour T2 – this will be JSW’s first vehicle for the Indian car market. The T2 will not just offer amazing road presence. It shall also offer best-in-class features and technology that most cars offer at double the price. JSW in the initial few years will be re-badging some of the Chinese cars; however, they are very clear about offering more and more Indian-made and locally built vehicles in the coming years. So, this SUV will get 1.5-litre plug-in-hybrid technology that will compete with a 2.5-litre engine and yet offer mileage of about 20-25km/l. We can do a separate story on this for you. This Diwali, the JSW T2 will be offered at a price tag of Rs 40-45 lakhs.

Toyota Fortuner

The new Toyota Fortuner will be unveiled in Thailand by mid-2026 and in India by late 2026 or early 2027. There will be a lot of new technology that will come with the Fortuner, which was missing. But to sum it up, it shall be closer to what the Hycross is offering today. So, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, a 360-degree camera, and a larger touchscreen will be optional.

In terms of engines, there won’t be a hybrid; it will be more of the regular 2.7-litre petrol and 2.8-litre diesel engine options on offer. The Fortuner won’t be much different in terms of engine options.
