In the next two years we are going to witness the launch of five new sub-4-metre hybrid cars in India. After the electric vehicle, the hybrid is the most sustainable mode of mobility. As of now, many hybrid cars are available in the Indian market, but they are costly, but upcoming ones are quite affordable.
The launch of hybrid cars for the Indian market will take place between late 2026 and early 2027 from the different automakers. The list of the upcoming hybrid cars in India includes the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid, Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor Hybrid, Mahindra Vision S Hybrid, Renault Bridger Hybrid and Nissan Bridger-Based Hybrid.
Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid
The Fronx Hybrid from Maruti Suzuki will be introduced in the Indian market most probably in late 2026 with the ex-showroom price ranging from ₹12 lakh to 15 lakh. It will come with a 1.2 litre, 3-cylinder Z-Series petrol engine and electric motor. It is expected to give a mileage between 30 and 35 kmpl.
It is equipped with Level 2 ADAS with LiDAR to ensure a smooth driving experience. The cabin features a large infotainment system that controls all the cabin with touch and a digital instrument cluster which shows all driving data. For convenience, it gets a wireless phone charging pad and automatic climate control.

Toyota Motors will launch the Urban Cruiser Taisor Hybrid for the Indian market, most probably in 2027. Its ex-showroom price is expected to start from ₹10 lakh and go up to ₹15 lakh. It is set to get a 1.2-litre petrol engine and a single motor mounted with front wheels featuring an AWD drivetrain.
For technology and convenience, it is set to feature a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay and a premium sound system that gives a theatre-like feel, a Heads-Up Display (HUD) that shows all driving data on the windscreen, a 360° camera and connected car tech.

The Vision S Hybrid is built on the NU_IQ platform; Mahindra & Mahindra will launch it most likely by early 2026. The pricing isn’t yet confirmed, but there’s high speculation that its ex-showroom price will start from ₹11 lakh for the standard variant; the top trim may be above ₹17 lakh or even more.
It is set to come with a 1.2 litre turbo petrol engine with two motors; one is mounted with the front wheels and another with the rears. It is set to feature an AWD drivetrain, and the transmission is single-speed automatic. It is going to be an off-roading SUV with a bold and muscular stance, and it will feature a high ground so it can move on rough terrain easily.
Renault Bridger Hybrid
The Bridger Hybrid from Renault will be introduced most probably in mid-2027, as production is expected to start in late-2026. In the Indian market, it may be available with the ex-showroom price from ₹10 to ₹15 lakh. It is going to be a boxy SUV on RGML platform with a spacious cabin that features high-tech and smart features for occupants’ comfort and convenience.
It will also feature a 1.2 litre petrol engine and electric motor on the front axle. Its drivetrain is set to be front-wheel drive, and transmission is single-speed automatic. The cabin is set to get a large touchscreen and digital instrument cluster, wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, a wireless phone charging pad, connected car tech, ventilated seats, and much more.
Nissan Bridger-Based Hybrid
Nissan is most likely to launch a Bridger-based hybrid in India sometime in 2027; nothing about its pricing is confirmed by the Japanese automaker. We are expecting that its ex-showroom price will start from ₹9 lakh and go up to ₹13 lakh, depending on the variant; it is also built on RGMP (Renault Global Modular Platform).
The engine option will be a 1.2-litre petrol with a front-axle-mounted motor that features a FWD drivetrain.
