A range of vehicles have been launched by major automakers in the market so far in 2023. These span from high-end supercars such as the McLaren Artura to the all-new Safari SUV. There are still several brand-new as well as facelifted car models that are yet to go on sale whether we talk about the Indian or other global markets. Given that November is a festive month, a lot of automakers would want to seize this chance to launch their most awaited vehicles in India earlier than planned. Moreover, a few companies might reveal their new models next month which will formally roll out in the domestic market in December. Here's a list of models that will be available for purchase starting next month along with the ones marking their global debut.

Mercedes-AMG C43
The German luxury auto major is also going to release the new-generation AMG C43 along with the revised GLE. A new powertrain is the primary upgrade for the Mercedes-AMG C 43, even though it is built on the W206 C-Class of the current generation. Powered by an electric turbocharger, the M139 hybrid engine is a 2.0-litre four-cylinder unit at its core. This unit, which debuted on the Mercedes-AMG SL 43, is hailed as the first electric exhaust gas turbocharger ever to be installed in a series production vehicle worldwide.
The C 43, like all Mercedes-AMG models, features an AMG-exclusive Panamericana grille with vertical struts, adaptive LED headlights with a daytime running light, quad tailpipes with a diffuser, freshly designed bumpers (front and rear), black wing mirrors, and 18-inch alloy wheels. The ex-showroom pricing of the Mercedes C43 AMG is anticipated to be a little under Rs 1 crore.

The front-mounted charging port is located just beneath the vehicle's grille.
