Nissan Motor India has confirmed that the Nissan Gravite will make its India debut on 17 February 2026. The MPV was earlier expected to break cover in January, but the plan has shifted slightly. This reveal is important for Nissan as it adds a new model to its India line-up, which currently includes only the Magnite, while also giving buyers one more option to consider. With demand steady for compact seven-seat vehicles, the Gravite enters a space where buyers want room for a larger family without pushing up their budget. For anyone watching Nissan closely, this MPV sets the tone for what the company wants to do next in the market.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/industry-news/china-bans-flush-door-handles-over-safety-risks-will-india-follow-122835/">China Bans Flush Door Handles Over Safety Risks: Will India Follow?</a>In terms of design, the <a href="Nissan Gravite">Nissan Gravite </a>is based on the CMF-A+ platform, the same base used by the Renault Triber. The proportions and stance will look familiar, but Nissan has given the MPV its own face. Teasers show a grille layout and lighting pattern that follow Nissan’s current design language. Changes to the bumpers and trim should help separate it from its platform sibling on the road.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/Nissan-Gravite-MPV-1766130229235.webp" alt="Nissan Gravite MPV.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">The interior is expected to focus on space and flexibility. A three-row, seven-seat layout is likely, with foldable seats to switch between passengers and luggage when needed. The cabin layout should stay straightforward, aimed at daily use. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/nissan/">Nissan</a> may add its own touches to the dashboard and infotainment layout, while keeping the overall setup easy to live with.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/Nissan-Gravite-Rear-Teaser-1766043111359.webp" alt="Nissan Gravite Rear Teaser.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">Under the bonnet, the Gravite is expected to use a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. Buyers should get a choice between a five-speed manual gearbox and an automated manual transmission. This engine and gearbox combination is already familiar in the segment, with the focus expected to be on smooth city driving and steady highway runs.When it arrives in showrooms, the Nissan Gravite is expected to sit in the Rs 6 lakh to Rs 9 lakh range. That places it among entry-level seven-seat MPVs in India. The launch also opens the door for more Nissan models, with SUVs planned as part of the brand’s India roadmap leading up to 2027.

Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to roll out a much-anticipated refresh for one of its best-selling models in India,&nbsp;the Baleno hatchback, according to industry sources. The updated<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/baleno/"> Baleno</a> is set to hit showrooms around April–May 2026, with the exact launch date expected to be announced closer to the launch timeline. First launched in 2015, the Baleno hatchback received its first facelift in 2019, followed by a second-generation model in 2022. Last year, Maruti Suzuki enhanced its safety&nbsp;with six airbags across all variants. Now, another significant update is on the horizon for the Baleno in India, and we’ve detailed some of the key changes to expect in the new version. <h2>Maruti Suzuki Baleno: What to Expect?</h2>The changes are most likely to be purely cosmetic and feature-focused. On the appearance, the Baleno could see the most updates at its front-end, with a revised grille, a new bumper, and refreshed headlamps with updated DRLs.&nbsp;While the core design is expected to remain unchanged, Maruti Suzuki may introduce subtle tweaks to align the hatchback&nbsp;more closely with its current design language. The side profile could get newly designed wheels, and the rear may receive a revamped lighting setup.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/maruti-suzuki-e-vitara-to-launch-in-india-in-february-122829/">Maruti Suzuki e Vitara to Launch in India in February</a>Inside, the dashboard is expected to take cues from <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki’s</a> new models. It will be complemented by new upholstery options. Another major addition could be a larger free-standing SmartPlay&nbsp;Pro+ touchscreen infotainment system, supporting wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and potentially Alexa. Maruti Suzuki may also equip the hatchback with amenities such as a fully digital driver’s display, an electric sunroof, a 360-degree camera, ventilated front seats, and wireless phone charging.Given this will be a mid-cycle refresh rather than a completely new generation model, Maruti Suzuki is expected to retain the existing powertrain. The Baleno will continue with the 1.2-litre&nbsp;DualJet petrol engine, producing 89 bhp and 113 Nm of torque, offered with both a five-speed manual and an automatic&nbsp;transmission. The CNG variant, on the other hand, delivers 76.4 bhp and 98.5 Nm of torque, paired exclusively with the manual gearbox.

Maruti Suzuki Baleno Facelift to Launch in April-May 2026 – What to Expect?

Maruti Suzuki will soon update its best-selling hatchback in India, the Baleno, for 2026. While retaining the same engine setup, the updated Baleno may get subtle cosmetic tweaks and notable feature upgrades. 

Fuel prices just refuse to calm down, and that alone is changing how people look at their next car. Hybrid options are no longer niche, and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> knows it. After rolling out strong hybrids in models like the Grand Vitara, Victoris and Invicto, the brand is now lining up the Fronx Strong Hybrid for buyers who want the same mileage advantage in a smaller, city-friendly sub-compact SUV. This one is clearly aimed at everyday use. Better efficiency, easier running costs, and a familiar footprint are the priorities here, without pushing buyers into a bigger or more expensive segment.Also Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/maruti-suzuki-fronx-hybrid-spotted-testing-with-adas-in-india-to-launch-in-2026-121772/">Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid Spotted Testing with ADAS In India; To Launch in 2026?</a>Maruti Suzuki is expected to use its 1.2-litre Z12E three-cylinder petrol engine in the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/fronx/">Fronx</a> Strong Hybrid. The battery pack is likely to be positioned under the front passenger seat, similar to the layout seen on the fourth-generation Swift in global markets, helping maintain a familiar cabin ergonomics.In India, this Z-series engine already powers the new Swift and Dzire without any hybrid support, where it produces around 80bhp and 111.7Nm. In the Fronx Hybrid, the focus is clearly on keeping things smooth and efficient rather than chasing performance figures, especially for daily city driving.<img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2024/05/2024-Maruti-Suzuki-Swift-Engine.jpg" alt="2024 Maruti Suzuki Swift Engine" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">Mileage is where the Fronx Strong Hybrid is expected to stand out. Early estimates point to figures of between 30 and 37kmpl, which is a big deal for a compact<a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/"> SUV</a>. For people who deal with traffic every day, that kind of efficiency can mean fewer fuel stops and lower running costs over time.
 
 <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2023/08/Fronx-Interior.jpg" alt="Fronx Interior" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">Inside, the Fronx cabin is expected to remain familiar, with a few changes to suit the hybrid setup. Expect hybrid power flow displays, a refreshed touchscreen system, and drive modes like EV-only, eco, and sport. On the outside, changes are likely to be kept simple. Hybrid badging and small design updates, such as new accents or colour options, are expected to set it apart from the regular Fronx. Expected to arrive before May, the Fronx Strong Hybrid will go up against the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/venue/">Hyundai Venue,</a><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/sonet/"> Kia Sonet</a>,<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/tata/nexon/"> Tata Nexon</a> and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/mahindra/xuv-3xo/">Mahindra XUV 3XO</a>, finally giving buyers a proper hybrid option in the compact SUV segment.

Here’s everything you need to know about the revised flagship sedan.<h2>Mercedes-Benz S-Class Facelift: Design</h2><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/01/2026-Mercedes-Benz-S-Class-Rear-1769751558908.webp" alt="2026 Mercedes-Benz S Class Rear.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
