Tata Sierra EV, Skoda Kylaq Sportline and Nissan Tekton have already been confirmed to enter the domestic market soon in India
Three manufacturers are preparing important SUV introductions over the next few months and each one targets a completely different section of the market. Tata Motors is about to consolidate its electric portfolio while Nissan is finally ready to re-enter one of the country’s high volume segments and Skoda is preparing a sportier derivative of its affordable SUV.
The earliest arrival comes from Tata Motors. The Sierra EV is understood to be only weeks away from entering showrooms as it will officially debut on June 30. The electrified Sierra is expected to target customers looking for a larger family-based electric SUV. Underneath its retro-inspired exterior, the Sierra EV will utilise technology and other bits from Harrier EV.
Battery options in the region of 65 kWh and 75 kWh are likely while both rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive layouts could be sold. Meanwhile, Vehicle-to-Load and Vehicle-to-Vehicle functionality will be part of the package too. It will be slotted above the Curvv EV. Over to the other end, Nissan’s biggest priority remains rebuilding volumes in India and the upcoming Tekton is expected to play a central role in that plan.

Scheduled to make its global debut on July 9, the midsize SUV will place Nissan back into a segment currently dominated by some of the industry’s heavyweights. The Tekton will share its foundations with the latest Renault Duster but Nissan appears determined to create a distinct exterior taking inspiration from the global Patrol. Petrol engine options are expected to mirror the alliance’s latest turbocharged powertrains along with a strong hybrid unit while the positioning suggests direct competition for the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Toyota Hyryder, Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Honda Elevate.
Skoda, on the other hand, is looking to inject additional visual appeal into the Kylaq lineup. The compact SUV has already emerged as an important contributor to Skoda’s domestic volumes and the forthcoming Sportline variant is expected to further help its case. Confirmed to launch around the festive season, the Kylaq Sportline will get cosmetic enhancements inspired by larger Sportline models sold internationally and in India as well.

Darkened exterior elements, unique alloy wheels, sportier cabin detailing and exclusive trim treatments are expected to distinguish it from standard versions. Mechanical changes are unlikely as the familiar 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine should continue under the bonnet alongside manual and automatic gearbox choices.
