Hyundai Kona EV

. It will be launched sometime in 2019. Prices will be kept in check thanks to it being assembled from knocked-down kits, but don't expect it to compete against traditional 5-seat SUVs like the Jeep Compass or the upcoming Tata Harrier. It will be sold in limited numbers - with Hyundai stating that it would be available in select metros like Delhi and Mumbai where charging infrastructure should be easier to setup. A 39.2kWh battery pack should give the Kona a realistic range of around 250km on a single charge. What's more, it can be recharged to 80 per cent charge in 54 minutes if connected to a 100kW DC fast charger. It is not known if a fast charger will be offered to customers in India from the get-go.

Hyundai Carlino

While Hyundai's SUV onslaught will begin with the Kona EV in 2019, it also has two other SUVs in its pipeline. One of them is the much anticipated rival to the, which means it should get a 1.2-litre, naturally-aspirated motor and a 1.4-litre, 4-cylinder, turbo-diesel. However, this could change closer to the launch date, which is yet to be revealed.

Rolls-Royce Cullinan

The comes in. The Cullinan, apart from being the first-ever 4WD civilian vehicle by the British marque, is the first vehicle in its range to get all-digital instrumentation. Powered by a 6.75-litre V12, the Cullinan is no slouch. This mammoth belts out 571PS of maximum power and 850Nm of peak torque. But it is not designed to be a speed demon, the power reserve should make the Cullinan a gentle cruiser. And with an intelligent AWD system and trick air suspension, it should be able to do so over varied surfaces as well. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan should make its official debut in India in 2019.
