Top 5 New Car launched in February and March 2022

With a lot of cars due for an update and refreshes in 2022, there’s already been quite a lot of new launches including the Volkswagen Tiguan, Skoda Kodiaq, new Audi Q7 and more. But 2022 is just getting started and there are a lot more cars coming in the coming months. Here are five of the most awaited cars launching in February and March 2022.

Kia Carens — February 15

The first confirmed launch for February 2022 is the Kia Carens. Bookings for Kia’s MPV are already open and if the Kia Carens price is competitive, it should be an exciting product considering the fact that it is a seven-seater and has features like wireless charging, a sunroof, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, ventilated seats, and more. Kia Carens will launch on February 15 and we expect prices to start at Rs 12 lakh.

Maruti-Suzuki Baleno facelift — February 23

Maruti-Suzuki has already teased the first big update to the current Baleno lineup since its launch. The teaser showcases a new sharper front-end, redesigned headlights and we also expect the front and rear bumpers to be redesigned. Inside, expect more features, better materials and the Baleno will also get a heads-up display. It is expected to launch on February 23 and bookings are already open. Baleno facelift prices are expected to start at Rs 7 lakh.

BMW M4 Competition — February 2022

BMW is most likely going to be launching the new M4 Competition in India in February 2022. The new M4 Competition gets a 3-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder engine, mated to a torque converter automatic and generates 496bhp and can do 0-100km/h in just 3.5 seconds. It is expected to be priced at approximately Rs 1.3 crore and is likely to be launched in February 2022.



Lexus NX — February / March 2022

For 2022, Lexus has given the NX a sharper look with single-piece headlamps, redesigned bumpers, a larger spindle grille and new taillights with a light bar at the rear. Inside, the new Lexus NX gets a new display ranging from 9-inches on lower variants to 14-inches on top-spec variants and the regular physical buttons and knobs have also been made digital. Expect the Lexus NX to launch in February or March 2022 at approximately Rs 60 lakh.

MG ZS EV facelift — February / March 2022

It’s no surprise that MG Motor India is bringing the facelifted ZS EV to India. Updates to the ZS EV will include styling bits taken from the Astor and the new ZS EV is also likely to get a very similar feature list to the Astor, whether that will include the ADAS tech is yet to be seen. It is said to have a larger 51kWh battery pack with more range, possibly close to 480km. The MG ZS EV facelift has been spied camouflaged, which could mean that the launch is imminent — either February or early March this year, for a price of approximately Rs 23 lakh.

The upcoming Kia Carens will be launched on 15th February 2022, and the pricing for the new SUV-styled MPV will be revealed during launch as well. The Kia Carens will officially be a seven-seater with the top variant getting a six-seater variant as well. The Carens will be Kia's fourth offering in the country and shares its engine specifications as well as underpinnings (modified for a longer wheelbase) with the Kia Seltos.

Kia Carens Variants

The Kia Carens will get five variants. The variants are called Premium, Prestige, Prestige Plus, Luxury and Luxury Plus. While the Carens will be offered with a seven-seater configuration as standard, a six-seater option will be available in the top variant, Luxury Plus.

On the outside, the Kia Carens looks nothing like its cousin, the Seltos. While it does get underpinnings sourced from the compact SUV, its exterior and interior are anything but. 

The Kia Carens features an MPV design and modern looks. The Carens gets SUV inspired looks for a muscular appeal. On the exterior feature front, it gets all the modern-day bells and whistles, such as machined alloy wheels, LED headlights, tail lights, DRLs and fog lamps.

On the interior, the Carens gets a fair share of class-leading features such as ambient lighting with 64 colour options, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, passenger air purifier controls, and passenger and third-row air vents, to name a few.


Kia Carens Engine Specifications

The upcoming Carens will get the same engine specifications as the Kia Seltos. This means that the Carens will be powered by a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel and a 1.4-litre turbo petrol unit. Transmission options will include a six-speed manual transmission and several automatic options such as a torque converter and a seven-speed DCT.

 

Kia Carens Expected Pricing

The Kia Carens can compete against the likes of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 and lower variants of the Hyundai Alcazar and Mahindra XUV700. The expected pricing for the upcoming Kia Carens is ₹11 lakhs to ₹20 lakhs (Ex-Showroom).

Kia Carens production begins at India factory in Andhra Pradesh

The Carens is expected to be launched in the coming days, and will be available with both petrol and diesel engines.

Kia has begun mass production of the Carens MPV at its factory in India. The much-awaited MPV will be able to seat six or seven, depending upon the configuration, and will be Kia’s fourth offering for the Indian market.

There will be three engine options. The first one is a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine which makes 113bhp and 144Nm. The second engine is a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine that can dish out 138bhp and 242Nm. The last engine, and the only diesel offering, is a 1.5-litre engine that makes 113bhp and 250Nm. All engines can be had with a 6-speed manual transmission. Alternatively, the turbo-petrol motor can be spaced with a 7-speed dual clutch transmission, and the diesel engine can be opted with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Kia is offering the Carens in five variants and the safety package is standard across the range. You get 6 airbags, ESC, VSM, Hill Ascent Control, Downhill braking control, traction control, ABS, rear parking sensors, brake assist, a tyre pressure monitoring system and disc brakes on all wheels.

You also get a well-kitted interior which included a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. You also get an 8-speaker BOSE sound system. Other premium bits include drive modes, ambient lighting, auto AC, a sunroof, electric tumble assist for the second row and more such features. 

The Carens shares its underpinnings with the Hyundai Alcazar, but both cars are different when it comes to the features, certain engine options and overall. The Carens come across as the more value-for-money offering of the two, while the Alcazar has more premium features such as a panoramic sunroof, making it the more loaded choice.

Once launched, the Kia Carens will rival the MG Hector Plus, Tata Safari, Mahindra XUV700 and the Hyundai Alcazar. We expect it to be priced between Rs 15 lakh and Rs 20 lakh.
