Nissan X-Trail – August 1

The Nissan X-Trail, a fourth-generation vehicle, is the first vehicle on this list. This SUV was just formally introduced by the corporation to the Indian car industry. It will be delivered as a fully constructed unit (CBU), as has been announced. This flagship SUV will clear the path for Nissan’s next models.

There will be three colour possibilities for the new X-Trail. These are going to be Pearl White, Champagne Silver, and Diamond Black. A dark chrome grille, split LED headlights, and a contemporary exterior style will be standard on all three of the coloured automobiles.

The Citroen Basalt coupe SUV will next be introduced to the Indian auto market. According to the firm, the launch is slated for August 7 and the official unveiling is due for August 2. This new vehicle has a distinctive coupe SUV style and is based on the C3 Aircross.

With its unique alloy wheels, flap-style door handles, and sloping roofline, the Basalt will stand out from its sister. While the Basalt is anticipated to have improved features and equipment, it is anticipated to share many design cues with the C3 Aircross.
