The 2019 BMW X1 facelift was recently spotted in China and judging by the looks of it, the SUV will come with some considerable visual updates. The carmaker is likely to unveil the updates X1 sometime towards to end of 2018 or early 2019, which will be followed by a global launch, before arriving in India.

The first 'Made in India' and 'Made For India' offering will be a mid-sized SUV, which will make its global debut in India in 2020. Production and market launch for the new Skoda SUV will be in the first half of 2021.

Audi's much-anticipated flagship sedan, the A8, is now expected to be launched in India by the first half of 2019. The Head of Audi India, Rahil Ansari, told Carandbike.com that India will get the new A8 sedan within next 12 months.

Audi will be launching new special edition models of the Q7 and Q3 SUVs in India. Christened as the Audi Q7 Design Edition and Q3 Design Edition, these will be limited edition models and are slated to be launched in the country sometime in the first week of July.

The Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan facelift will be launched soon in India and will get both petrol and diesel engines apart from the powerful biturbo V6 and V8 AMG engines. Until now, the standard, non-AMG C-Class was only offered in the C200 variant for the petrol and the C220d and C250d variant for the diesel. The new facelift C-Class however will be available with the C200 (with the new 1.5-litre engine) and C220d but will also get more powerful engine variants to choose from. The petrol will get the C300 variant - essentially the same engine from the C-Class Cabriolet while diesel fans will get a more powerful C300d replacing the current C250d.

As far as full model changes are concerned, at the top of the list sit cars like the i20, Grand i10, Xcent, Creta and probably even the Tucson or the Santa Fe. The electric SUV coming to India will most likely be the Kona and we wait to see what Hyundai has to say about that closer to the launch.
