Kia Carnival

New gen Kia Carnival Spied Testing

Let us commence this list of these soon-to-launch 7-seat SUVs in India with the Kia Carnival. It is the premium luxury MPV which a lot of business owners or celebrities prefer. They often treat it as a people mover or mobile business conference room. It offers an immensely luxurious cabin with top-notch materials and the latest tech and convenience amenities. Interestingly, it was spotted without any camouflage in our market a few weeks ago. The new version of the Carnival bears modern functions including a bold front fascia with sleek LED DRLs, a modernized version of the Tiger Nose grille and a wide body with those familiar sliding doors. It will bear an imposing road presence.

Hyundai Alcazar

Hyundai Alcazar Facelift

Next up, we have the Hyundai Alcazar. It is the 7-seater iteration based on the Creta. We know that Creta recently received a thorough update. Hence, the updated Alcazar will launch on September 12. It will come with the design silhouette of the Creta along with the addition of a third row. The current Alcazar is quite popular. I expect the new model to follow in its footsteps with tons of modern amenities. To pamper the customers, the list of features will be longer. It will most likely carry the same powertrain as the existing model. This means that it will have the option of either a 1.5-litre turbo petrol or a 1.5-litre turbo diesel engine with manual and automatic gearbox alternatives.

MG Gloster

Mg Gloster Facelift Spied Testing

Next on our list of upcoming 7-seater SUVs in India is the facelift version of the MG Gloster. It has been spotted testing in India on multiple occasions. Gloster is the flagship SUV from the Chinese-owned MG Motor. It competes with the iconic Toyota Fortuner in our market. Recently, we saw MG launching Snowstorm and Desertstorm editions of the Gloster to create a buzz around the 7-seat SUV. However, the real update will come in the form of a facelift. The spy videos of the fully camouflaged Gloster have been circulating around on the internet for a long time now. It will likely get Level 2 ADAS along with aesthetic and features update. However, it will most likely carry the current powertrain.
