Team OD Updated: November 30, 2016, 03:48 PM IST

There is an array of SUVs and crossovers that will be arriving and launched in India in 2017. This includes new-generation models and facelifts. Nissan will relaunch the X-Trail SUV but with a hybrid powertrain, whereas manufacturers like Skoda and Maserati will debut in the premium SUV segment with the Kodiaq and Levante. We have got a detailed list of SUVs that are expected to hit Indian showrooms next year.

2017 Nissan X-Trail hybrid

Estimated price: Rs 35-37 lakh

X-Trail-Hybrid-1.jpg.ximg.l_full_m.smart

The Nissan X-Trail features modern styling influenced by Nissan's new design language and looks very different compared to its predecessors. The SUV was the first Nissan to use the modular CMF platform and is claimed to be lighter despite being larger compared to the earlier-generation models. It is equipped with a 2.0-litre MR20DD hybrid motor that makes 147PS and 207Nm. A high-output Li-ion battery adds another 41PS and 160Nm of torque, making the X-Trail one of the most powerful SUVs in its class.

Volkswagen Tiguan

Estimated price: Rs 25-30 lakh

VOLKSWAGEN Tiguan

The new Volkswagen Tiguan is larger than its predecessor and looks a lot more stylish. It is also the first Volkswagen SUV to use the new MQB (Modularer Querbaukasten in German, or Modular Transverse Matrix) platform. The 2.0-litre diesels will be offered in states of tune ranging from 115PS to 240PS. The turbocharged petrol variants are offered with 1.4-litre options, making between 125PS and 150PS while there is also the more powerful 2.0-litre mill that makes 220PS. However, we expect the 125PS 1.4-litre TSI engine and the 150PS 2.0-litre diesels to make it to India, too.

Audi SQ7

Audi SQ7 TDI

Audi is all set to bring its performance-based SQ7 in India. The Audi SQ7 is powered by an all-new 4.0-litre V8 diesel motor which produces 435PS of power and 900Nm of torque. This motor comes mated to an updated 8-speed tiptronic transmission which makes it capable to do a claimed acceleration of 0 to 100kmph in 4.8 seconds. This motor can attain a max speed of 250kmph, which is impressive for a SUV of these dimensions.

Skoda Kodiaq

Estimated price: Rs 30-40 lakh

Skoda Kodiaq (5)

Skoda recently announced its plans of bringing new range of vehicles to India. The most important of which is the all-new Skoda Kodiaq SUV. It is the first three-row SUV from Skoda based on VW's MQB platform. The engine options that will be offered on this premium line SUV will be shared with that of the Skoda Superb. Upon its launch in India, the Skoda Kodiaq will compete with the Mercedes-Benz GLC and the Audi Q3.

Maserati Levante

Estimated price: Rs 1.3-1.5 crore

maserati Levante

Maserati's first SUV, the Levante, arrives early next year. Built on the Ghibli platform, the Levante combines dynamic design language as seen on its sedans with an aggressive SUV stance. The Maserati Levante is powered by a 3-litre V6 twin-turbo petrol engine. There are two states of tunes â€" 430PS and 350PS. The 275PS, 3-litre diesel as well as the petrols will be mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and will come with Maserati's Q4 all-wheel drive system.

The Renault Kaptur will share its underpinnings with the Renault Duster. It is expected to be powered by 1.6- and 2.0-litre flex-fuel engines. The same units power the Kangoo and Modus models in international markets. We expect the Indian version to carry the same powertrain options as the Renault Duster with tweaked performance numbers. The Renault Kaptur will compete with the likes of the Mahindra XUV500 and Hyundai Creta. Since the Kaptur is based on the Renault Duster platform, we believe with higher percentage of localisation Renault can price it very aggressively in the country.
