The mid-size SUV from the German manufacturer has been a miss rather than a hit in our SUV market. Porsche is expected to bring the new generation of this SUV by March of this year. No diesel power plants are expected this time around but Porsche will offer it with a rather small (at least by Porsche’s standards) 2-litre power plant which will keep the fuel costs low.

The A-class sedan seems to have been made with the Indian market in mind. However, it is yet to go on sale in our country. The A-Class sedan will slot right between the C-Class and CLA-Class sedans when it launches. It is interesting to note that the sedan is being sold in an LWB avatar for the Chinese market, just as it is for the E-Class sedan. Considering the popularity of LWB models in our country, it is very likely that Mercedes may offer it to us as well. Expected price of this car is around the INR 35 Lakh mark.

28. Kia SP Concept Production Variant

The first offering of the Korean manufacturer in our market will be a production SUV based on the Kia SP Concept car we saw at the Auto Expo last year.
