Maruti Suzuki is on a roll. After the launch of new-generation Brezza, the Indo-Japanese automaker recently revealed its upcoming Grand Vitara SUV that’s slated to go on sale in September 2022. The company has planned several new models in the SUV segment including the 5-door Jimny and YTB compact SUV coupe. Though, both models will arrive sometime in 2024.
Meanwhile, Maruti Suzuki is also gearing up to launch the next-generation Alto hatchback and Eeco van. Reports suggest that the all-new Alto will see a release in August and Eeco will hit roads by September 2022. Here’re key details of the soon-to-be-launched Maruti Suzuki cars.
2022 Maruti Alto
Major changes will be made to the new-generation Alto hatchback. The model will have more angular stance (as we have seen in the new Celerio) and switch to Suzuki’s modular Heartect platform. It will get bigger than before. The carmaker will also introduce the new 1.0L K10C Dualjet petrol engine that’s good enough for 67bhp and 89Nm. The existing 796cc motor will continue to be on offer, but could be reserved for lower variants. This time around, the hatch might get CNG kit. Interior will surely be more feature packed than the current model. More details here…
Maruti Grand Vitara
The all-new Grand Vitara will be the most fuel efficient SUV in its segment. It will also be the most expensive and advanced SUV from the Indo-Japanese automaker in the country. The model lineup will come four trims – Sigma, Delta, Zeta and Alpha. One must note that the Zeta+ and Alpha+ trims will be exclusively available with electric hybrid (strong hybrid) powertrain. The new 2022 Maruti Grand Vitara can be had with either a 1.5L NA petrol engine with Suzuki’s mild hybrid tech or a 1.5L gasoline unit with Toyota’s strong hybrid system. The SUV comes with Suzuki’s AllGrip AWD system. More details here…
2022 Maruti Suzuki Eeco
The new-generation Maruti Eeco is likely to receive a few cosmetic and feature upgrades including a power steering. Under the hood, no changes are expected. Similar to the current model, the new one will house a 1.2L, 4-cylinder petrol engine delivering a peak power of 73bhp and 101Nm of torque. The carmaker claims that the Eeco offers fuel efficiency of 16.11kmpl and its CNG variant returns 21.8kmpl. More details here…
