Nope, not a concept - that's the second-generation Citroen C5 Aircross in final production spec!
The first Citroen to be built on Stellantis' STLA Medium platform, the new C5 Aircross is 150 mm longer than the outgoing model (with an elongated wheelbase), rides on 20-inch wheels (a first for Citroen) and has the largest touchscreen infotainment system of any Stellantis model. Overseas, it will be available with a plug-in hybrid as well as battery electric powertrains - the PHEV with a claimed electric-only range of over 100 km, and the EV with a range of up to 680 km. Do you want Citroen to bring this to India, and which powertrain should it be offered with?
Tata Motors is all set to launch the facelifted version of the Altroz hatchback on May 21, 2025.
The changes on the Altroz facelift are expected to revolve around design revisions and the introduction of new features. The hatchback, however, will probably retain the same powertrain options as the outgoing model. With the facelift, the Altroz, which has largely remained the same since its launch, will likely see a bump in sales.
The basic interior layout of the Altroz might also remain unchanged, although expect small changes such as a new two-spoke steering wheel that was last introduced in the 2025 Tiago and Tigor, new seat upholstery, and differences in finishing.
The eighth-generation Lexus ES has been unveiled at the ongoing 2025 Shanghai Motor Show. Based on Lexus' redesigned global architecture-K platform, the new ES will be available in petrol-hybrid and fully electric variants. Here are the details:

EV variants are the ES 350e with 224PS (FWD) and the ES 500e with 343PS (AWD)
Hidden buttons in the dashboard light up when the car starts, ergonomically redesigned seats
12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, 14-inch infotainment with new LexusConnect software
Panoramic sunroof, Mark-Levinson sound system
A phased global rollout is set to begin from March, 2026.
