Kia India has launched the most-advanced Seltos with a special introductory price of INR 10,89,900 (ex-showroom) pan-India. Powered by a choice of two petrol engines and one diesel engine, the new SUV that is available in 18 trim levels with the top trim featuring ADAS technology, is priced at INR 2 million for the top of the line X-Line variant. 

If the top models look pricey, the vehicle comes with 32 safety features that include 15 robust safety features (standard across the range) and 17 ADAS Level 2 autonomous features. The new 160 PS 1.5-litre direct injection petrol engine is also found on the Carens and is more powerful than the earlier direct-injection petrol engine the Seltos came with. The new engine could be had with a 7-speed DCT transmission or a 6-speed iMT gearbox. 

Flaunting segment-leading features such as dual screen panoramic display with 26.04 cm fully digital cluster and a 26.03 cm HD touchscreen navigation, dual zone fully automatic air conditioner, 18-inch smart looking alloy wheels, electric parking brake and dual pane panoramic sunroof among other, the new SUV is also available with a 115 bhp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine that is coupled with either a CVT auto transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission. 

The 116 bhp, 1.5-litre direct injection diesel engine could be had with a 6-speed torque converter auto transmission or a 6-speed manual transmission. The three trim levels being Tech Line, GT Line and X-Line, the new Seltos gets exterior design changes that reflect Kia’s 'Opposites United' design philosophy. Exclusive to India is the Pewter Olive colour.  

Tae-Jin Park, Managing Director and CEO, Kia India, mentioned, “Our commitment to setting industry benchmarks with innovative offerings at competitive prices has fuelled the growth of segments in the past, and the new Seltos will undoubtedly continue this trend. With advanced ADAS level 2, top-notch safety features, and innovative technology, we have created an inspiring vehicle that resonates with today's discerning new-age customers. Coupled with a wide range of variant choices, aggressive pricing, and a seamless ownership experience, the new Seltos is not only the smartest driving experience but also the best buy in the market.”

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV) has launched the Nexon CAMO, a new special edition of its popular compact SUV, with prices beginning at INR 999,000 ex-showroom in Delhi. The introduction coincides with the brand’s celebration of a decade since the Nexon’s original debut and the trust of over 1.1 million customers, marking the model’s enduring success in the Indian automotive market.

The new CAMO variant distinguishes itself with two exclusive premium paint schemes, named Munnar Mist and Coorg Cloud. The former is a dynamic dark green that shifts to a sophisticated grey in shadows and reveals rich green and golden tones under sunlight. In contrast, the latter is a contemporary grey-silver finish with subtle metallic highlights, designed to offer an understated yet premium aesthetic that complements the SUV's rugged character.

TMPV has equipped the Nexon CAMO with a significant technology upgrade, headlined by an Ultra View Twin HD Digital Cockpit. This features a 31.24-cm infotainment system and a 26.03-cm digital instrument cluster, both from Harman, with the latter including embedded navigation. The technology package is further enhanced by an integrated dashcam recorder that is part of the 360-degree camera surround view system, which also includes a blind spot view monitor.

The special edition is not solely about aesthetics and screens, as it also incorporates a comprehensive suite of comfort and safety features. The cabin includes ventilated leatherette front seats, a voice-assisted panoramic sunroof, and an immersive nine-speaker JBL audio system with a subwoofer. Safety is addressed through seven Advanced Driver Assistance Systems functions calibrated for Indian roads, six airbags and electronic stability control, ensuring the CAMO is as secure as it is stylish.

Maintaining the Nexon’s hallmark versatility, the CAMO is offered across all three powertrain options: a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel and the segment-exclusive 1.2-litre turbocharged iCNG with twin-cylinder technology. With multiple transmission choices available, the automaker has positioned the Nexon CAMO as a distinctive and aspirational package for a wide range of SUV buyers, reinforcing the model's legacy of innovation as the festive season approaches.

Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said, "Since its launch a decade ago, the Nexon has provided comfortable, safe and enjoyable journeys for over 1.1 million families, becoming one of India's most iconic nameplates with an unmissable presence on the roads. This success has been built on constantly raising the bar in safety, technology and design while keeping these innovations accessible to a wider set of customers. The Nexon CAMO carries that spirit forward, with two striking new colours and an elevated technology package that makes it the most distinctive Nexon yet. Timed perfectly for the festive season, it gives customers an even stronger reason to make the Nexon their own."

Japanese automotive company Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has shared an update regarding its upcoming new Pajero SUV launch scheduled for premiere this autumn.

The automaker confirmed that the vehicle combines off-road driving capabilities across weather and road conditions with on-road ride refinement.

The SUV utilises a ladder frame chassis paired with a re-engineered suspension system designed to maintain road-holding performance over uneven surfaces, bumps and terrain impacts. The setup aims to reduce body movement and cabin vibration to support occupant comfort during long-distance driving.

Handling and drive distribution are managed by Mitsubishi Motors' Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) technology. The integrated vehicle dynamics control system manages power output and braking to optimise stability and traction across driving conditions.
