6 Upcoming Cars Launching In March 2022

March 2022, another month passed, and yet we are here again with another set of new launches. We get excited as much as you are with new car launches. That said, let’s take a look at the cars that will be launching this month. This time around, we expected the Indian automotive market to get a new SUV, electric car, a hatchback, a pickup truck, an MPV, a sedan and a hatchback. Et. Voila. We have pretty much every segment covered. So before further ado, here are 6 new vehicles we anticipate for March.

1. Skoda Slavia 1.5-litre
   

   

   This week, the Czech auto giant Skoda recently launched their new Sedan, the Slavia. But the car launched is offered with a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine. But Skoda is expected to launch the Slavia with a bigger 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine.

   This sedan with a bigger motor generated 150ps of max power and 250Nm of peak torque. Like the 1.0-litre variant, the 1.5-litre will also get an option of a 6-speed manual and an automatic. But unlike the former, 1.5-litre will get a 7-speed DSG box.

2. Volkswagen Virtus
   

   

   Moving on, just like the Slavia next sedan to launch in March is also based on the MQB AO IN platform, the Volkswagen Virtus. Apparently, the Vento successor will also share the same set of engines as the Skoda. Virtus will be coming with two turbo petrol engines, a 1.0-litre and a bigger 1.5-litre. The 1.0-litre mill generates 115ps of max power and 175Nm of peak torque.

3. Toyota Hilux
   

   

   One of the most anticipated vehicles is expected to launch in March 2022, Toyota Hilux. The second entry into India’s pickup truck segment, Hilux competes against the only competitor, Izuzu D-MAX V-Cross. That said, Toyota unveiled the Hilux on 20th January 2022.

4. MG ZS EV Facelift
   

   

   The following vehicle on the list is an electric vehicle from the house of MG. Like the Astor which is a petrol power ZS, will get similar updates on the new ZS EV facelift. The company is readying up to launch the vehicle on 7th March 2022.

6. Toyota Glanza
