It’s a new financial year and a fresh start to the month, and for car lovers, that means something exciting—new car launches. April 2025 is packed with some big names and special editions ready to hit the roads. Whether you’re into sporty SUVs, electric sedans, or sleek dark-themed variants, there’s something for everyone. Let’s take a quick spin through what’s coming your way.
Tiguan
Volkswagen has made a bold move by announcing two CBU imports for India—the Golf GTI and the Tiguan R-Line. First up for launch is the Tiguan R-Line, arriving on 14 April. This isn’t just a regular Tiguan with a badge swap. It brings serious performance and cosmetic upgrades.
Under the hood, the Tiguan R-Line packs a 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine that delivers 201bhp and 320Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a seven-speed DCT gearbox and gets Volkswagen’s 4Motion all-wheel-drive tech, offering more grip and fun on the road.
It will also get visual enhancements unique to the R-Line badge. While Volkswagen hasn’t revealed the full list yet, expect sporty bumpers, stylish alloys, and a more aggressive stance.
Seal
BYD has quietly become one of the major EV players in India, and they’re keeping the momentum going with the 2025 Seal. This electric sedan was introduced last month, but its price announcement is expected in April.
The MY25 Seal will be available in three variants and comes with two battery options—61.44kWh and 82.56kWh. Depending on the variant you choose, the claimed range goes up to 650km on a single charge, which is impressive even by international standards.
BYD has also launched the MY25 Atto 3 recently, and more details about it can be found on their official site. But for now, the Seal remains the main attraction in April.
Curvv
Tata is not holding back this year either. The Curvv coupe-SUV is the next to join the brand’s popular Dark Edition family. The special edition version of the Curvv has already started arriving at dealerships, so the official launch is expected anytime soon.
What’s different here? You get the signature black exterior paint, ‘#Dark’ badges on the fenders, an all-black interior, and rear sun blinds. Tata is offering this version only in the top-spec Accomplished variant, available with both petrol and diesel engines.
It’s Tata’s answer to those who want style, performance, and road presence—all in a darker shade.
Basalt
Citroen is also jumping into the Dark Edition game with its Basalt coupe-SUV. This special edition will follow the same formula—blacked-out exteriors and interiors, subtle design tweaks like glossy inserts, and possibly some contrast stitching to break the monotony.
Specs and powertrains are expected to stay the same as the standard Basalt. And if you’re wondering whether this is just a one-off, think again—Citroen is also planning to bring Dark Editions for the C3 and Aircross.
So if you’re into blacked-out cars with that stealthy vibe, Citroen might have what you’re looking for this month.
