Maruti Suzuki plans to launch 8 new models in the next 18 months. In the first half of 2022, the Indo-Japanese automaker will introduce updated versions of its four popular models including Baleno hatchback, Ertiga and XL6 MPVs and the new-generation Brezza. Here’s a brief on the upcoming new Maruti Cars, which are slated to launch in early 2022.
Updated Baleno
The 2022 Maruti Baleno facelift will come with the slightly improved styling and a more up-market interior. While its official prices and details will be revealed in the third week of February, the hatchback is reported to receive a larger, free-standing touchscreen infotainment system with a new interface. It might also be equipped with the connected car tech, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, HUD (Head-Up Display), 6 airbags and electronic stability program (ESP).
Updated Maruti Ertiga & XL6
Rumour has it that Maruti Suzuki might give mid-life updates to the Ertiga and XL6 MPVs. Both models will witness noticeable changes inside and out. Some of the updates could be similar to the new Baleno. Powering the MPVs will be the same 1.5L K15B petrol engine with mild hybrid technology delivering power worth 104bhp and 138Nm of torque. Transmission choices will include a 5-speed manual and a 4-speed torque convertor automatic unit.
New-Generation Maruti Brezza
The second-generation Maruti Suzuki Brezza is reported to arrive in the coming months. The compact SUV will take a big leap in terms of design, features and engine mechanism. If reports are to be believed, the new 2022 Maruti Brezza might come with the wireless smartphone charging, factory-fitted sunroof and a 360 degree camera. The infotainment system and instrument cluster will also be updated. This time around, the Brezza could be offered with the stronger 48V hybrid system instead of 12V mild hybrid tech, paired to the 103bhp, 1.5L K15B petrol engine.
