Continued: 15 new SUVs to look forward to in 2017

Here are some more new SUVs coming your way in 2017.

Jeep Compass

Expected price: Rs. 18-20 lakh

Jeep entered the Indian market with a lot of expectations from the customers but the huge price tag it came with deflated a lot of dreams.

Now though, the American brand is developing an all-new SUV for the developing markets, and the car will be made in India. The all-new Jeep Compass will launch in the second half of 2017 and will also become the cheapest Jeep offering in the country till the company launches its sub-compact SUV in India.

Chevrolet Trailblazer

Expected price: Rs. 25 lakh

Chevrolet launched the Trailblazer in India to take on the Toyota Fortuner and Ford Endeavour but failed to compete against the giants. The lack of 4X4 system and a huge price tag did not help the car at all. Now Chevrolet is planning to bring the newer model with 2.8-litre Duramax diesel engine that generates 197 BHP of maximum power and will also come with the 4X4 system.

Isuzu MU-X

Expected price: Rs. 24 lakh

After the success of the Isuzu D-Max V-Cross in India, the Japanese manufacturer will bring in the MU-X next year. The car will replace the current MU-7 and the car testing has started in India. The new MU-X will be built on the I-GRIP platform and will feature a 4X4 transfer case with a shift-on-fly feature. The car will be powered by 3.0-litre 177 BHP diesel engine and will come with a choice of a manual as well as an automatic transmission.

Mitsubishi Outlander

Expected price: Rs. 28 lakh

Interestingly, the Outlander will go against the Honda CR-V in India.

Expected price: Rs. 30 lakh
