October 2026 New Car Launches In India: From Honda Elevate To Volvo’s First EVs
October 2026 is shaping up to be a busy month for new car launches in India, spanning everything from facelifted hatchbacks to luxury electric SUVs.
The Honda Elevate facelift and Skoda Slavia facelift both arrived on October 6, the latter bringing revised DRLs, restyled bumpers, a 360-degree camera, and massaging rear seats. Volvo brought its first two electric models under its 800-volt architecture, the EX90 and ES90, on October 12, both capable of up to 350kW DC fast charging. At the premium end, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class facelift launched October 5, and the third-generation Audi Q3 is expected around October 16 with all-wheel drive as standard, estimated at ₹46-52 lakh.
With several more launches reportedly planned before month-end, October is turning into one of the more active months for new car buyers — though as with any upcoming launch, final pricing and variant details are worth confirming directly with dealerships before making a purchase decision.
