New Maruti MPV
If reports are to be believed, the Indo-Japanese automaker will unveil a new MPV in August 2023. The model will be based on the Toyota Innova Hycross and go on sale during this year’s festive season. Its platform, design elements, features and powertrains will be similar to Toyota’s three-row vehicle. Though, it will look slightly different with a newly-designed grille, headlamps and front bumper. The new Maruti MPV will be the brand’s first model to come with the Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). Buyers will get the 2.0L petrol hybrid and 2.0L naturally aspirated petrol engine options, making 186PS with 206Nm and 174PS with 205Nm respectively. More details here…
Maruti 7-seater SUV
The all-new 7-seater SUV is among the much-awaited new Maruti Suzuki cars planned for the coming year. Internally named as Maruti Y17, the model will be built on the Global C platform that underpins the Grand Vitara. The company’s new Kharkhoda facility on Haryana will serve as production hub for the upcoming Maruti SUV. As of now, details are scanty. Though, the model is likely to come with the 1.5L K15C petrol with mild hybrid tech and Toyota-sourced 1.5L Atkinson cycle petrol powertrains. Both setups will be borrowed from the Grand Vitara. Here, the new Maruti 7-seater SUV will be put up against the Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari. More details here…
New-Gen Maruti Swift
The new-generation Suzuki Swift is reported to have its world premiere by May 2023. In India, the updated hatchback is likely to arrive sometime next year. With the generation change, the Swift will take a big leap in terms of design, features and efficiency. It will be built on the modified Heartect platform and come with the new 1.2L, 3-cylinder petrol engine boosted with Toyota’s strong hybrid technology. Media reports suggest that the 2024 Maruti Swift will be high on mileage. It will return a fuel efficiency of around 35-40kmpl (that’s surely very massive). The hatchback model lineup will also come with the 1.2L Dualjet petrol engine and CNG fuel option. More details here…

Maruti Suzuki has confirmed that its first electric car will hit showrooms sometime in 2025 (possibly in January or February 2023). It will be a SUV based on the born electric platform and co-developed with Toyota. The model will measure 4300mm in length, 1800mm in width and 1600mm in height. It will sit on a wheelbase of 2700mm. While its specifications are still under the wraps, the EV is likely to come with a 60kWh battery pack. The model will promise a range of 550km on a single charge. The Indo-Japanese automaker will source the LFP blade bell batteries from the Chinese battery supplier of BYD. More details here…
