New Delhi. The year 2025 is about to end and potential buyers will try to buy their favorite car before the beginning of the new year. Why? Because many automobile companies are going to increase the prices of most of their cars from the beginning of 2026. In such a situation, you can buy your favorite SUV this month. However, we would advise you to avoid buying these 3 most popular SUVs for the next few months. Why? Let us tell.
tata punch
Tata Punch Trust me, we wouldn't recommend you buying one of India's best-selling SUVs, the Tata Punch, for the next few months. On-road prices in Mumbai range between Rs 6.39 lakh to Rs 10.63 lakh. Punch has also made a dent in the sales of popular cars like Maruti Wagon R. In this price range, Punch offers excellent value for money to the customers. It is packed with features and despite being an entry-level compact car, it offers a high seating driving experience. Also, this is one of those Tata SUVs which faces almost no major issues. Then why are we advising you not to buy such a great car?
Why not buy?
Actually, Punch is a great package, but Tata Motors may launch an even better version of it in early 2026. We hope that the facelift version of Tata Punch will be launched by February 2026. With the facelift, a new design will be seen in the exterior and interior of the SUV. If you liked the design of Punch.ev and want the same look in the petrol version, then wait for a few months. The design of Punch facelift will be similar to the EV version. Features like 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, 2-spoke steering wheel and touch-based AC control can also be found in the interior.
scorpio n
Scorpio N The next SUV that we recommend you buy is Mahindra's best selling SUV – Scorpio N. This SUV is so powerful that you can forget about a car like Fortuner, but still would not recommend buying it in 2025. Why? Because like the Punch facelift, major changes are going to come in Scorpio N too. The SUV has been spotted testing several times and its launch may take place around February 2026. But if you wait for a few months, what new will you get in the SUV?
Why not buy?
With the facelift, the front profile of the Scorpio N may become even more aggressive, which will include new headlamps, grille and bumper. At the same time, changes can also be seen in the interior, especially in the dashboard, which will now get a floating 10.25 inch touchscreen system. Apart from this, features like Harman Kardon sound system, panoramic sunroof and new interior color theme can also be added.
Mahindra XUV 700
The next name in this list is another popular SUV of Mahindra – XUV. Ever since it was launched in 2021, this SUV has taken the Indian auto market by storm due to its advanced technology. Even today it is the best selling SUV in its segment. Then why are we advising you to ignore such a wonderful car? The reason is – Mahindra XUV 7XO.
Why not buy?
Mahindra XUV 7XO is not a separate product, but an advanced version of the XUV700. XUV700 has been renamed as XUV 7XO, which is scheduled to be launched on January 5, 2026. But why should you wait for the XUV 7XO? Actually, while converting XUV700 into XUV 7XO, Mahindra has made major changes in the design of the SUV. According to teasers and spy shots, the SUV will get new headlamps, new front grille, new taillamps and redesigned bumpers. This will make the SUV look more stylish than before. At the same time, there will be changes in the interior and new features like – triple screen layout, Harmon Kardon sound system, powered co-driver seat, ventilated second row seats and many more will be available.
