From Volkswagen and Nissan to Toyota, MG, and Mercedes-Benz, mass-market and luxury automakers line up five major car launches for April.
The first quarter of 2026 has been quite eventful for the Indian car market, with several highly anticipated models launched, including the all-new Renault Duster, the VW Tayron R Line, and the Maruti e Vitara. In April, too, there will be several key debuts and launches, from both mainstream and luxury brands.
1. New VW Taigun
On 9 April, Volkswagen will take the covers off the facelifted Taigun and possibly even conduct its launch. The new Taigun should feature a more aggressive and bolder design with sleek and connected headlamps, illuminated brand logos, and revised tail lamps. A more high-tech interior with a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster and a massage rear seat are also expected.
Volkswagen will also introduce an 8-speed automatic transmission option with the 1.0-litre TSI engine, which could increase the fuel economy by around 1 km/l and make the ride smoother.

2. MG Majestor
The MG Majestor, the facelifted version of the MG Gloster, will be launched as the brand’s new Toyota Fortuner rival next month. The new model brings a noticeably more rugged design, new features such as a front passenger massage seat, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a dual wireless smartphone charger, and more, and improved safety with Level 2 advanced driver assistance systems.
The Majestor will come with enhanced off-roading capability as well, with front and centre differential locks in addition to rear and a crawl function.
3. Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella
The Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella will be the brand’s first EV in India, derived from the Maruti e Vitara. The Urban Cruiser Ebella has a more upmarket look with swept-back headlamps and a cleaner front bumper, but is nearly identical to the Maruti e Vitara at other angles and on the inside.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) will launch the Urban Cruiser Ebella in two configurations, one with a range of 440 kilometres and one with 543 kilometres. The company will likely offer a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) programme as an option.

4. Nissan Tekton
The Nissan Tekton will be the brand’s new mid-size SUV, arriving as the successor to the Nissan Terrano. It will be closely related to the all-new Renault Duster, featuring the same platform, body structure, components, and features. A Nissan Patrol-inspired front-end with a sharper and more road-focused exterior will set it apart from the Renault model.
Nissan will likely launch the Tekton with 1.0- and 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engines sometime in May and introduce a hybrid system based on a 1.8-litre naturally aspirated direct-injection petrol engine early next year.
5. Mercedes CLA EV
The third-generation Mercedes CLA is coming to India in its pure electric variant next month. There will be two RWD configurations on offer: 200 and 250+, with the former delivering a range of 542 kilometres and the latter 792 kilometres.
Mercedes-Benz will offer the CLA with features such as a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 100-watt USB Type-C ports, and a one-piece fixed glass roof without a central brace. The company is expected to price the electric sedan in the Rs. 55-60 lakh (ex-showroom) range.
