Upcoming cars for India Japan Mobility Show 2025

At the ongoing Japan Mobility Show 2025, carmakers such as Honda, Toyota and Suzuki have shown up in full force to preview their future models. Some of those will make their way to India, given the market’s relevance. Let’s dive into every car at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 confirmed for an India launch in the coming years.

Honda 0 Series SUV

Launching in 2026

Upcoming cars for India from Japan Mobility Show 2025

Honda’s current India portfolio of three models is quite sparse, but the Japanese carmaker plans to bolster it with the all-electric 0 Series SUV next year. Based on a new born-EV platform, the 0 Series SUV is a software-defined vehicle (SDV) that comes with a vehicle-wide operating system dubbed ASIMO OS and Level 3 ADAS.

Battery pack options for the 0 Series SUV will range between 80kWh and 100kWh. Honda will bring the 0 Series SUV to India via the CBU route – expect pricing upwards of Rs 80 lakh – and position it as a halo model to showcase the brand’s EV technology.

Maruti Suzuki Fronx Flex Fuel

Launching in 2026

Though E20 petrol was mandated just this year (amid much controversy), Maruti Suzuki is set to launch a flex fuel version of the Fronx, which can support blends of up to E85 (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent petrol). This model was previewed as the Fronx FFV (Flex Fuel Vehicle) concept at the Japan Mobility Show 2025 and will allow Maruti Suzuki to be prepared for future increases in the ethanol content of petrol by the Indian government.

Precise specifications for the FFV concept’s engine are yet to be disclosed, but this version, save for the green stickers, is otherwise identical to the Fronx currently sold in India.

Honda 0 α (Alpha) SUV

Launching in 2027

The 0 α SUV is the second Honda 0 Series model confirmed for India and has been showcased in near-production spec at the Japan Mobility Show. While the larger 0 Series SUV will be sold as a CBU here, the 0 α SUV will be locally manufactured.

This will allow Honda to price the 0 α competitively and take on electric midsize SUVs in the Rs 25 lakh-30 lakh range. Two battery packs will be available for the 0 α SUV, the capacities of which Honda hasn’t specified but says will be in line with those offered by rivals.

Toyota FJ Cruiser

Launching in late 2028

Upcoming cars for India from Japan Mobility Show 2025

Globally unveiled just weeks ago, the Land Cruiser FJ is the new entry-level model for Toyota’s Land Cruiser line-up of SUVs, built on the same IMV body-on-frame platform that underpins the Fortuner, Hilux and Innova Crysta. At the Japan Mobility Show 2025, Toyota confirmed that the Land Cruiser FJ is India-bound and will be manufactured here at the carmaker’s new Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar plant in Maharashtra.

With the Land Cruiser FJ, Toyota aims to plug the large gap between the Hyryder and Fortuner in its SUV portfolio for India, and prices for the new SUV could start from Rs 30 lakh, thanks to heavy localisation. In India, the Land Cruiser FJ will be offered with a 163hp 2.7-litre petrol engine, mated to either a strong hybrid or a plug-in hybrid setup, and 4WD will be part of the package, too. Diesel engines are, unfortunately, off the table for the Land Cruiser FJ in India.

All prices are ex-showroom, India.
