Apart from a few launches, Citroen will also begin customer deliveries for the new C3 Aircross compact SUV in October
The past few months have seen several new cars enter the market, including the Tata Nexon facelift, Honda Elevate, and the Hyundai i20 facelift. While most of the highly anticipated models for this year have already been launched, there are still a few expected to go on sale in October 2023. Let’s take a look at these upcoming cars:
Nissan Magnite AMT
Expected Price- Rs 7.60 lakh
The Nissan Magnite, launched in late-2020, has so far been available with a CVT automatic gearbox only for its turbo-petrol variant starting at Rs 10 lakh. Now, Nissan will introduce a 5-speed AMT gearbox option for the naturally aspirated 1-litre engine, similar to its sibling, the Renault Kiger. No additional features are anticipated with the new transmission option. The Magnite comes equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch digital driver’s display, auto AC, and cruise control. Safety features include dual front airbags, a 360-degree camera, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
Nissan Magnite Kuro Edition
Expected Price- Rs 8.10 lakh
The Nissan Magnite has been recently announced as the official car for the upcoming ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. Alongside this announcement, Nissan has introduced a special Kuro (meaning ‘black’ in Japanese) edition of the sub-4m SUV and opened bookings for it. The special edition is expected to feature black accents inside and out, along with possible additional features. It is likely to be offered with both the powertrain options, including the soon-to-be-launched AMT gearbox.
Lexus LM
Expected Price- Rs 2 crore
In October 2023, the second-generation Lexus LM MPV, based on the new Toyota Vellfire, is expected to debut. The luxury MPV started accepting bookings towards the end of August 2023 and has reportedly received a positive response. It features a striking design with electronically sliding rear doors and a prominent spindle grille. The cabin offers opulent seating arrangements in 4-, 6-, and 7-seat layouts, with wide reclining ottoman seats, a 23-speaker surround sound system, pillow-styled headrests, and a massive 48-inch TV. The India-spec LM is expected to be powered by a 2.5-litre strong-hybrid powertrain.

5-door Force Gurkha
Expected Price- Rs 16 lakh
The 5-door version of the Force Gurkha SUV, a highly anticipated model, is likely to debut soon. It has been spotted testing multiple times, with recent sightings suggesting the possibility of a 3-row configuration. The 5-door Gurkha is expected to feature revised lighting setup and larger 18-inch alloy wheels compared to its 3-door counterpart. It will likely be powered by the same 2.6-litre diesel engine (90PS/250Nm) and offer a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard. The SUV is expected to come with a four-wheel drivetrain, and safety features may include dual airbags, a reversing camera, and rear parking sensors.
BYD Seal
Expected Price- Rs 60 lakh
The BYD Seal, a premium electric sedan, is expected to make its entry in October 2023. The carmaker showcased this model at Auto Expo 2023 and is now featuring it on the BYD India website, indicating its imminent official debut. Details about the battery pack are yet to be disclosed, but it could potentially feature an 82.5 kWh battery pack. It may also come with a dual motor setup, delivering impressive performance with a 0-100kmph acceleration in just 3.8 seconds. The BYD Seal claims a range of 700km and will compete against the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6.
Few Special Editions
As the festive season is in full swing, several special edition models have already been launched, following the usual trend in the Indian automobile industry. Additionally, some carmakers might take the opportunity to introduce new limited or special editions to celebrate the big festive occasions to come.

The Citroen C3 Aircross, the newest member in the compact SUV segment, will start customer deliveries in October. The C3 Aircross stands out by offering the option to seat either five or seven occupants with the availability of a removable third row. It is powered by a single 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Features include a 10.2-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch digital driver’s display, dual front airbags, and a reversing camera.
