Tata Motors is also expected to launch the Sierra EV, marking another addition to its growing portfolio of electric vehicles. In this article, let’s look at the cars coming in June 2026.

The luxury sedan is also expected to get a petrol engine option at a later stage, though the company is yet to confirm the future of the diesel-powered variant.It is not yet confirmed whether the Mercedes-Benz S-Class will be brought to India as a CBU import or assembled locally to keep prices competitive. The updated flagship sedan is expected to be priced from Rs 2 crore (ex-showroom), with the plug-in hybrid variant likely to carry the highest price tag. Once introduced, the S-Class will compete with the Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series in the Indian market.The facelift introduces a larger grille with chrome star pattern inserts and an illuminated surround, while the bonnet-mounted Mercedes badge is now backlit. The redesigned headlamps are larger and have daytime running lights in the shape of a triple three-pointed star. The S 450e with EQ Hybrid Technology trim has a 3.0-litre turbo-petrol inline-six engine with an electric motor that produces a combined 435hp and 680Nm of torque. Power comes from a 22kWh battery pack, which Mercedes-Benz claims can provide up to 100km of electric-only driving range under ideal conditions.BMW X6 M60iNext up is the new BMW X6 M60i, pre-bookings have begun.
