If you’ve been watching the Indian car market recently, you know things are heating up. JSW Motors has partnered with global brand Chery Group, and they are going to launch their lineup of cars in India. They will bring a mix of strong hybrids and fully electric vehicles.
Over the next six months – starting around the end of 2026 and rolling into early 2027 – we are going to see some major launches from JSW Motors. If you are currently looking to buy a new car, you might want to pause. Here is a simple look at three of the most exciting models that will hit the roads soon.
1. JSW Combat (The Tough Off-Roader)
If you love road trips and are looking for a rugged, hybrid SUV designed to give you great fuel efficiency without losing its tough-guy attitude.
- Tentative Launch Timeline: December 2026 to Early 2027
- Expected Price: ₹25 Lakh – ₹30 Lakh
- The Basics: It will be a 5-seater with a large boot space (around 500 liters) for all your luggage. Inside, you get strong grab handles and easy-to-clean materials, alongside two big digital screens.
- Who Should Wait For It: Adventure seekers who want the boxy look of an off-roader but need the fuel efficiency of a hybrid for daily city commutes.
- Cars to Rethink Before Buying: If you are currently looking to buy a Mahindra Thar Roxx, a Scorpio-N, or a higher-end Tata Safari, you might want to wait for it. The Combat will offer similar rugged appeal but with much better hybrid fuel economy.
2. JSW Chery iCar V23 (The Fun City EV)
It will be a compact, fully electric car that mixes old-school boxy charm with modern technology.
- Tentative Launch Timeline: Early 2027
- Expected Price: ₹18 Lakh – ₹22 Lakh
- The Basics: A 5-seater with about 350 liters of boot space. It will look unique with round headlights set into a flat, boxy front. Inside, it would be simple, youthful, and most likely be controlled by one large touchscreen.
- Who Should Wait For It: Young buyers who want a stylish daily driver that is easy to park.
- Cars to Rethink Before Buying: If you are currently looking at the Tata Nexon EV, MG Windsor EV, or waiting for the Maruti eVX, you may pause your decision. The iCar V23 will bring a completely different, more playful design for this exact price bracket.
3. JSW Jaecoo J5 (The Premium Family EV)
If you are looking for luxury and comfort without spending a lot, then J5 may be the answer. It is a smooth, sophisticated electric SUV packed with premium features.
- Tentative Launch Timeline: January to February 2027

- Who Should Wait For It: Families looking for a quiet, comfortable, and feature-loaded electric SUV.
- Cars to Rethink Before Buying: If you are thinking about buying the MG ZS EV, Tata Curvv EV, or the Hyundai Creta EV, give the J5 some thought. It aims to offer a step up in luxury and interior material quality in the same price bracket.
