Maruti Suzuki To Launch 2 All New Sub-4 Meter SUVs In India

Maruti Suzuki is aiming to regain top position in the SUV category, which is dominated by Hyundai Motor Company. The company plans 4 new SUVs including two brand new sub-4 meter SUVs and the next-gen Vitara Brezza. Adding to it, Maruti Suzuki will enter in the mid-sized SUV category. Suzuki and Toyota JV is readying a new mid-sized SUV, codenamed D22 for the domestic market, which is likely to arrive in 2022.

Maruti Jimny

Maruti Suzuki had showcased the 3-door Jimny mini off-roader at the Auto Expo 2020. However, the brand will introduce the 5-door model. The company believes that the 3-door model will prove to be costlier for a price sensitive Indian market. It is expected to be launched in our market by July 2022.

The new model will ride on 300mm longer wheelbase, and the length of the SUV has been increased by 300mm. The leaked documents reveal that the new 5-door Jimny will measure 3,850mm in length, 1,645mm in width and 1,730mm in height. The SUV will have a wheelbase of 2,550mm, while the ground clearance stands at 210mm. It will have a kerb weight of 1190kg, which is 100kgs higher than the 3-door Sierra. It is expected to be powered by a 1.5-litre K15B petrol engine with mild hybrid system. This engine produces 100bhp of power and 130Nm of torque. Transmission options will include a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed torque convertor automatic.

Maruti Suzuki is working on a compact crossover, codenamed YTB for the Indian market. The new model will be positioned between the S-Presso and the Vitara Brezza. To be based on the Baleno platform, the new subcompact SUV will directly rival the newly launched Tata Punch. The launch details are yet to be announced, but it is likely to be revealed sometime next year.

The new subcompact SUV is likely to be developed on the HEARTECT platform that’s said to be built with ultra and advanced high tensile steels. It is likely to be powered by a 1.2L 4-cylinder naturally-aspirated petrol engine that powers the Baleno and the Swift twins. This engine is likely to come with a mild hybrid system, which should improve its efficiency.
