2023 Maruti Suzuki Swift
The renders of the fourth-generation Maruti Suzuki Swift were recently leaked online which confirmed and smashed a few speculations that have been making rounds for quite some time now.
The new Swift, as per the renders, will have a hunkered-down stance to give it a more sporty look. The 2023 version of Swift is likely to stick with the current 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated 90 PS petrol engine along with both 5-speed manual and AMT gearbox options.
Date of Launch – March 2023 tentatively
Expected starting price – Rs 6 lakh approximately

Honda Sub-4M SUV
There has been an undeniable preference shift in the Indian car market from hatchbacks and sedans to SUVs. Most car manufacturers have unevenly benefitted from this quite evident shift in demand, except Honda as the brand still hasn’t managed to leap towards SUVs successfully.
Honda, however, is looking forward to 2023 to change this. The Honda Sub-4M SUV is going to be a sub-compact SUV specially designed for the Indian car market. Every other detail about the car is still under wraps even though car enthusiasts are busy with speculations. The brand, on the other hand, might reveal a glimpse in the upcoming Auto Expo 2023.

Hyundai Verna is going to be a very big deal aside from being a feature-loaded car as it always has been, this time around Hyundai is looking to make the sedan a lot larger in size and deliver a more big size car experience.
What Hyundai is looking forward to do with this upcoming version of Verna is to move it up a segment, a little closer to Rs 18 lakh – 19 lakh at a showroom. Essentially, it appears the brand is preparing to eliminate the need for a Hyundai Elantra-like sedan from the market.
