Summer speed: Upcoming car and bike launches in July's first half
Delhi : In the first half of July 2023, a total of 2 brand-new, thrilling utility vehicles and 2 brand-new motorbikes are planned for release. The new Kia Seltos will be unveiled on July 4 while Maruti Suzuki will debut the Invicto MPV on July 5. In addition, on July 10, Hyundai will launch the Exter, a small SUV, in the nation. The new motorcycles will also be introduced by Harley and Triumph on July 3 and July 5, respectively.
NEW KIA SELTOS - JULY 4 LAUNCH
Changes to the design of the new Seltos will come from the worldwide Seltos. It will have an updated LED DRL front grille, LED fog lamps, new bumpers, new alloy wheels, an LED bar linking the taillights, and a faux skid plate on the rear bumper. The 2018 Kia Seltos' interior will have a fully digital instrument panel, an upgraded infotainment system, a panoramic sunroof that is pre-installed, an electronic parking brake, and other features. An ADAS suite will also be included to the SUV. The current 115 horsepower, 1.5 L NA petrol and 115 bhp, 1.5 L turbo diesel engines will still be used. Additionally, a 1.5L turbocharged petrol engine with 160PS and 253Nm of torque will be installed in the SUV.
MARUTI INVICTO - COMING ON JULY 5TH
On July 5, 2023, Maruti Suzuki will introduce the three-row luxury MPV. By placing a deposit of Rs 25,000, interested purchasers may reserve the new MPV online or at an authorised dealership. It is simply a Toyota Innova Hycross rebadged, albeit the Invicto will have design updates to match the Grand Vitara. The interior's colour palette and seat fabric are probably to be updated. This Maruti Suzuki product will be the first to have ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) technology. It will be offered with Toyota's 2.0L powerful hybrid powertrain, which produces 184 horsepower in total. The 2.0L NA petrol engine, which generates 172 bhp & 205 Nm of torque, will also be installed in the MPV.
Online or at a certified Hyundai dealership, the new Exter mini SUV may be reserved for Rs 11,000 as a deposit. The new Hyundai Exter, which is built on Hyundai's K1 platform, will directly compete with the Tata Punch and Citroen C3. There will be 15 variations available, divided among 5 trims: EX, S, SX, SX(O), and SX(O) Connect. A 1.2L petrol engine, good for 83 horsepower and 113.8 nm of torque, would power the little SUV. The CNG variant has a torque output of 95.2Nm and 69bhp. Both an AMT and a 5-speed manual gearbox are available.
HERO-HARLEY X440 - JULY 3 Launch
In the first week of July, our market will begin selling the Harley Davidon X440, the first motorbike produced in conjunction with Harley & Hero. It will be a single-cylinder motorbike with a classic design that will compete with Royal Enfield models. A 440cc single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine powers it. Although the engine's official power and torque numbers have not yet been released, we anticipate it to generate close to 30 horsepower and 40 Nm of torque. The motorbike will include twin-shock rear suspension and a USD front fork. Dual-channel ABS and disc brakes will come standard on the motorcycle.
LAUNCH OF BAJAJ-TRIUMPH BIKE ON JULY 5
Triumph will make its foray into the very competitive entry-level mid-capacity market, which is now controlled by Royal Enfield. Two new motorcycles are most likely to be displayed by the business. RE is most likely to release a new Scrambler that will resemble the larger Triumph Bonneville series of bikes in terms of appearance. The second machine may be the neo-retro street bike, which is probably going to borrow some design elements from Triumph's street series. The bike will have alloy wheels, a rear mono shock, discx brakes, and round headlights. The liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 400cc or 373cc KTM engine, with power in the range of 35–40 horsepower and more than 40Nm of torque, is expected to power the new motorcycles.
