7-Seater Maruti Suzuki SUV In The Works – Hyundai Alcazar Rival

Maruti Suzuki is gearing up for the launch of the much-awaited Grand Vitara SUV in September 2022. The company is also developing 3 new SUVs for the Indian market, which will be launched in the next couple of years. MSIL is developing a coupe-styled crossover, which is internally called the Baleno Cross. Adding to it, the company will launch the 5-door Jimny lifestyle SUV sometime in 2023.

The Maruti Suzuki Baleno Cross is scheduled to be unveiled at 2022 Auto Expo in January 2023, while launch could take place in February 2023. This new Coupe-styled crossover is expected to be based on Maruti’s lightweight HEARTECT platform that underpins the Baleno hatchback. It will also mark the re-introduction of Suzuki’s Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine.

Maruti Grand Vitara Engine

A new media report claims that Maruti Suzuki is also developing a new 7-seater SUV for the Indian market. This will be the brand’s flagship model and will be sold through NEXA premium dealership network. Details about the new model are yet to be revealed; however, it is reportedly to be based on the Ertiga’s flexible platform. MSIL could also utilise the Grand Vitara’s global-C platform that also underpins the Brezza compact SUV. The new SUV will rival the likes of the Hyundai Alcazar, Mahindra XUV700 and others.

The new 7-seater SUV is most likely to be offered with a 1.5L K15C dual-jet petrol engine that also powers the Brezza and the Grand Vitara. Moreover, the SUV Coupe also gets a Toyota-sourced 1.5L 3-cylinder TNGA Atkinson petrol engine with a strong hybrid tech. The engine produces 92.45PS of power, while the maximum usable power and torque stands at 115.5PS and 122Nm respectively. It comes with Toyota’s e-CVT, which is also offered on the global Yaris Cross hybrid. Similar to the new Grand Vitara, the 7-seater SUV could also get Suzuki’s AllGrip AWD system with drive modes.
