The festive season is here, and automakers are ready to make a splash with fresh SUVs launches to capture the enthusiasm of buyers. Leading brands like Hyundai, Mahindra, and Tata are rolling out revamped models packed with modern designs and cutting-edge features. Below, we dive into three popular SUVs that are getting significant makeovers, perfect for the festive spirit.
1. Next-Generation Hyundai Venue
Hyundai is gearing up to unveil the next-generation Venue, a compact SUV thatโs been spotted testing across India, signaling a launch around November. This model is set for a complete transformation, boasting sleek, bold exterior styling and a more luxurious interior. Expect a host of new features to elevate its appeal.
The revamped Venue is likely to offer a panoramic sunroof and advanced Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) for enhanced safety and convenience. Its design takes cues from Hyundaiโs larger SUVs, giving it a commanding road presence. Under the hood, the Venue will retain its reliable engine lineup: a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine.
2. Mahindra Thar 3-Door Refresh
Mahindra is preparing to launch an updated version of its iconic three-door Thar, with test models frequently seen under heavy camouflage. This facelift draws design inspiration from the recently introduced Thar Roxx, with subtle yet noticeable tweaks spotted in recent prototypes parked at dealer lots.
Inside, the refreshed Thar promises a modernized cabin with a larger touchscreen infotainment system featuring upgraded connectivity, repositioned air conditioning controls, a wireless phone charger, premium upholstery, and a rearview camera. The powertrain options will remain unchanged, sticking with the current petrol and diesel engines for proven performance.

3. Tata Punch Makeover
The Tata Punch, a micro SUV thatโs been a market favorite since its debut four years ago, is finally getting a much-awaited facelift. Unlike Tataโs other SUVs, which receive frequent updates, the Punch has remained largely untouched until now. The upcoming refresh borrows styling elements from the Punch EV, giving it a sharper, more contemporary look.
Inside, the cabin is expected to gain new tech and comfort features, aligning it with modern buyer expectations. From upgraded materials to enhanced infotainment, the Punch is set to offer a more refined experience while maintaining its rugged charm and compact versatility.
