December 2025 is shaping up to be a busy month for SUV lovers in India. With new electric models, petrol variants of favorites, and a fresh makeover for a popular nameplate, there’s something for almost everyone. If you’ve been thinking of upgrading your ride — good time to sit up and take note. Here's a friendly lowdown of the four major SUVs about to arrive — what’s new, what to expect, and whether they’ll fit your vibe.

Maruti Suzuki eVitara – First Electric SUV from Maruti

The big one kicking off the month is the eVitara — the first fully electric SUV from Maruti Suzuki. After months of speculation, the electric SUV is set to go official early December 2025 in India. The eVitara aims to bring a modern EV experience to mainstream buyers, with a design and feature set built for Indian roads and tastes. Interiors are expected to be tech-heavy and comfortable, bridging the gap between aspirational EVs and everyday practicality.

Expect it to arrive with features typically promised from contemporary EVs — a digital cabin, modern infotainment, and safety provisions to match India’s rising expectations. This makes eVitara a serious candidate for buyers wanting to go electric without burning a hole in the pocket.

Tata Harrier & Tata Safari – Petrol Powertrain for Popular SUVs

If you like the rugged character of Tata SUVs but want petrol over diesel, this is promising — both Harrier and Safari are getting a new 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine (previously they mostly ran on diesel). This update broadens their appeal to buyers who prefer petrol for smoother daily driving, lower maintenance and better city-fuel efficiency.

Tata seems to be banking on this switch to bring more customers into the fold — especially those who want SUV-style robustness but value petrol’s ease. With this move, both SUVs may become more accessible to a larger audience, possibly leading to better resale and broader adoption.

Kia Seltos (Next‑Gen) – Major Remake of a Favorite

Probably the most eagerly awaited — the next-gen version of the popular Seltos is nearly here. The facelifted Seltos, expected to launch on 10 December 2025, brings in major visual and interior upgrades. Think sharper, more aggressive styling, new grille and headlamp elements, fresh alloy-wheel designs — the whole exterior vibe feels more premium and up-to-date. 

Inside, rumours suggest a much more modern cabin — possibly with a triple-screen layout (digital instrument cluster + big infotainment + separate climate control screen), better ergonomics and improved comfort features. This makes the Seltos far more competitive in shifting expectations among Indian SUV buyers — especially for those who want style + practicality.

Final Thoughts

With these launches, Indian SUV buyers get a wide spread: from affordable electric (eVitara), to petrol versions of rugged SUVs (Harrier, Safari), to a refreshed mid-size SUV (Seltos) with modern touches. December 2025 could well be one of the busiest months for SUV fans — especially for those who were waiting for either greener options or updated features before upgrading.

FAQ

The new-gen Seltos brings a sharper, more premium exterior design, updated alloy-wheels, and a modern cabin — including a possible triple-screen layout for cluster, infotainment and climate controls. It may also offer a self-charging hybrid version, giving buyers more flexibility.

The eVitara is positioned as a relatively affordable electric SUV from Maruti Suzuki, aiming to target mainstream buyers. As it's the company’s first EV in India, it aims to balance comfort, features and value — making EV ownership more accessible.

It offers an alternative to diesel: smoother runs, easier maintenance, and better suitability for city driving. Petrol variants may also cost less to maintain, making SUV-ownership more practical for everyday users.

While the core engine lineup is expected to remain, there's talk of introducing a self-charging hybrid option — which could add a fuel-efficient, modern option to the Seltos family.

Yes — for India, eVitara is likely to get a well-equipped cabin: touchscreen infotainment, digital instrument cluster, and other contemporary comforts and safety features.

If you value updated styling, better tech or want to try EV/petrol SUV, it's worth waiting. The coming weeks will offer freshly launched models and possibly better choices within your budget range.

For city driving, eVitara (EV) and petrol versions of Harrier/Safari may offer ease of use and low maintenance. For long distances or highway trips, Seltos or full-size Tata SUVs retain practicality, especially if you value space and comfort.

Likely yes — as updated models come in, demand for slightly older versions may rise (especially diesel-SUVs being replaced or updated). But real impact depends on fuel prices, running cost and resale demand.
