Upcoming Vehicles 2027: What To Expect
2027 is shaping up to be the biggest year for new vehicle launches in India's history.

Two-Wheelers Coming in 2027
The biggest two-wheeler launch is the Honda Activa Electric, which has been in development for years and is finally scheduled for a mid-2027 release. Bajaj will launch the Pulsar NS400 at ₹2.2 lakh, targeting the premium naked segment. Ola's electric motorcycle, the Ola Roadster, promises a 200 km range at ₹1.5 lakh. TVS will bring the Apache RR 420 — a 420cc fully faired sports bike.
BS-VII Norms: All 2027 launches will comply with BS-VII emission standards, which mandate real-world driving emissions (RDE) testing, stricter NOx limits for diesels, and OBD-II compliance. This is expected to add 8-15% to vehicle prices.
What This Means For Buyers
If you're in the market for a new car in 2026, consider waiting if you can. The 2027 lineup offers more EV choices, better technology (Level 2 ADAS will be standard on cars above ₹20L), and the benefits of BS-VII compliance. On the flip side, 2026 discounts are generous as dealers clear pre-BS-VII inventory — savings of ₹50,000-1.5 lakh are common on outgoing models.
Our Advice: Need a car urgently? Buy a 2026 strong hybrid — it'll hold value well. Want the latest tech and don't mind waiting? 2027 will be a golden year, especially for EV buyers. For two-wheelers, the 2027 lineup is the most exciting in a decade.
