3. Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella
First unveiled earlier this year, the Toyota Urban Cruiser Ebella is essentially a rebadged version of the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. This highly awaited electric SUV is expected to go on sale in April 2026.
The electric vehicle comes with two LFP battery options, which are 49 kWh and 61 kWh. The larger battery variant is paired with a 171.6 hp motor delivering 189 Nm of torque, while the smaller pack produces 106 hp. With an impressive claimed range of up to 543 km the Ebella will be available with both two-wheel drive and All Wheel Drive configurations. It fully supports both AC and DC fast charging.
4. MG Majestor
Unveiled in February 2026, the mighty MG Majestor is perfectly positioned as the official successor to the Gloster. It features a redesigned front profile, highly updated alloy wheels and a significantly more feature-rich interior.
Bookings for the premium SUV are already open and buyers can choose from four distinct color options. Official deliveries are scheduled to commence in May 2026. Powering the Majestor is a massive 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine producing 216 hp paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission similar to the setup of the outgoing Gloster.
5. Nissan Tekton
Nissan is preparing to introduce the Tekton as its brand new mid-size SUV, effectively replacing the older Terrano. This exciting model will share its core underpinnings with the latest Renault Duster, including the platform components and smart features.
Design-wise the Tekton will distinguish itself with a bold front end inspired by the legendary Nissan Patrol giving it a sharper and more road-focused appearance. It is expected to launch with 1.0 litre and 1.3 litre turbo petrol engines initially. A highly efficient hybrid version based on a 1.8 litre naturally aspirated direct injection petrol engine is likely to follow in early 2027.
Conclusion
The new financial year is starting strong with these five incredible upcoming cars in April 2026. Buyers looking for an electric upgrade have brilliant choices like the Mercedes-Benz CLA EV and Toyota Ebella. Meanwhile, those seeking powerful internal combustion engines can confidently look forward to the MG Majestor, Nissan Tekton and the updated Volkswagen Taigun.
