Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric
The Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric has already launched in India on 4 November 2026, marking the brand's latest addition to its electric SUV portfolio. The locally assembled SUV is available in the GLC 400 4MATIC configuration and uses a 94kWh battery pack paired with dual electric motors.
The powertrain produces 482bhp and 800Nm of torque, with a claimed WLTP range of 711km on a single charge. It can accelerate from 0-100kmph in a claimed 4.3 seconds. The cabin's main highlight is the 39.1-inch MBUX Hyperscreen, accompanied by features such as Level 2 ADAS, a panoramic glass roof, powered front seats with massage functions and a Burmester sound system.
Denza Z9 GT
BYD's luxury brand Denza is set to make its Indian debut on 13 November 2026, with the Z9 GT expected to be one of its first offerings. The electric shooting brake has a distinctive low-slung profile and a sloping roofline, setting it apart from conventional luxury SUVs and sedans.
The Z9 GT uses a 122.5kWh battery pack paired with three electric motors, producing a combined 1,156hp and 1,210Nm. It gets an all-wheel-drive setup and can accelerate from 0-100kmph in a claimed 2.7 seconds. The electric model has a claimed WLTP range of 600km and a top speed of 270kmph. Other highlights include rear-wheel steering, electrically operated doors, camera-based outside rear-view mirrors, Level 2+ ADAS and a 20-speaker Devialet sound system.
Denza D9
The Denza D9 is another model expected to accompany the Z9 GT during the brand's Indian debut. Unlike the shooting brake, the D9 is a full-size luxury electric MPV designed to compete with offerings such as the MG M9 and Toyota Vellfire.
The India-bound electric version is expected to feature a 103kWh battery pack paired with a front-mounted electric motor producing 313hp and 360Nm of torque. It has a claimed WLTP range of 520km and supports DC fast charging at up to 200kW. The cabin is expected to feature a 2+2+3 seating arrangement, with second-row captain's chairs offering electric adjustment, ventilation, heating and massage functions. Other highlights include three-zone climate control, leather upholstery and ambient lighting.

Toyota Innova Hycross Facelift
Toyota is preparing to introduce an updated version of the Innova Hycross in India on 25 November 2026. This will be the MPV's first major update since its introduction in 2022, bringing revised exterior styling and additional cabin features.
The facelift is expected to receive a redesigned front grille, slimmer headlamps, updated alloy wheels and revised bumpers and tail lamps. Inside, the MPV could borrow several upgrades from its recently updated Indonesian counterpart, including a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a fully digital instrument cluster on hybrid variants.
The existing 2.0-litre petrol and strong-hybrid powertrains are expected to continue. However, the strong-hybrid version could also receive modifications to support higher ethanol blends, potentially making the updated Innova Hycross India's first flex-fuel strong-hybrid car.
MINI Cooper SE
MINI will bring the second-generation Cooper SE to India on 27 November 2026, marking the return of its electric hatchback to the Indian market. The new-generation model made its global debut in 2023 and receives updated exterior styling, including redesigned LED headlamps, an octagonal grille and revised tail lamps.
The electric hatchback uses a 54.2kWh battery pack paired with a front-mounted electric motor producing 218hp and 330Nm of torque. MINI claims a 0-100kmph acceleration time of 6.7 seconds and a WLTP range of 402km. The battery supports DC fast charging at up to 95kW, allowing a 10-80 per cent charge in approximately 30 minutes.

MINI Paul Smith Edition
Alongside the standard Cooper SE, MINI will also introduce the Paul Smith Edition in India on 27 November 2026. Developed in collaboration with British fashion designer Paul Smith, this special edition features exclusive cosmetic enhancements inspired by his distinctive design language.
The exterior gets exclusive paint options, Nottingham Green accents on the grille, ORVMs and wheel hub caps, along with specially designed alloy wheels. The cabin receives unique upholstery and detailing, including Paul Smith graphics and special infotainment backgrounds. Globally, the special edition is available across different Cooper body styles, although MINI has yet to confirm which version will be offered in India.
Other Expected Car Launches in India
The Mahindra Scorpio N Edition One is another model worth watching this month. An undisguised example of the special edition was spotted at a dealer yard in November, revealing a redesigned grille, Edition One badges and a dual-tone burgundy-and-black cabin. Mechanical changes are not expected, although Mahindra has yet to announce an official launch date.
BMW is also preparing to introduce its limited-run 100 Jahre Nürburgring editions in India. The collection includes special versions of the M2 Coupe, M3 Sedan, M4 Coupe, M5 Sedan and the M5 Touring. Pre-orders have already opened through authorised dealerships, although the company has not confirmed an exact launch or delivery timeline.
