Upcoming Hybrid Cars in India: The Indian car market is set to witness the launch of more Hybrid vehicles in the coming months. The major reason for the rise in the demand for hybrid vehicles is the continuously rising cost of fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel. A large number of people are also opting for EVs over ICE vehicles. However, the Indian EV market is still in a nascent stage, but it is growing at an unprecedented pace, so we can expect it to go mainstream by the next decade. People also like hybrid vehicles over all-electric ones because they provide much better performance, power, and fuel efficiency.
In the past few years, it has been observed that manufacturers have become increasingly aware of the increasing demand for hybrid vehicles instead of all-electric vehicles. We have hybrid vehicles in India, including the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara hybrid, Toyota Innova Hycross and Honda City eHEV. Check out upcoming hybrid powertrain vehicles in India below.
Toyota Fortuner Hybrid
The Japanese Automaker first introduced the hybrid version of the Toyota Fortuner at the 2023 Indonesia International Auto Show. The upcoming Toyota Fortuner will be different from other Hybrid vehicles as it will be capable of running on bioethanol. It will be powered by the same 2.7 litre 4 cylinder petrol engine which also comes in the standard model. The upcoming hybrid SUV will run on 100 per cent Bioethanol which is a much harsher fuel when compared to petrol.
Nissan X-Trail
Earlier in 2022, Nissan introduced the X-Trail as the upcoming product in the Indian market. Although the company has delayed the production of the Nissan X-Trail Hybrid. The Hybrid sub-compact SUV gets a three-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor that produces a maximum power output of 210 bhp and a peak torque of 525 Nm. The Nissan X-Trail will differ from other hybrid vehicles as it will get an e-power system that uses the battery’s output to run the vehicle, whereas, the ICE motor will be used to charge the battery.
2024 Renault Duster
Renault is also set to launch the 2024 Renault Duster in India soon. After the launch, the Duster SUV will lead the automaker’s premium SUV portfolio. The 2024 Duster is expected to be launched in 3 powertrain options including a hybrid technology powertrain. The upcoming vehicle will get a 1.6-litre petrol version featuring an automatic gearbox along with dual electric motors. The SUV will feature a full hybrid powertrain such as Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Honda City eHEV.
