India’s leading automaker, Maruti Suzuki, is getting ready to electrify its lineup and unleash a string of new exciting models in 2024. From the first electric vehicle by Maruti to the 7-seater version of its popular Grand Vitara, the year holds promise for the brand. Here are the details of these five upcoming models set to shake the Indian automotive market.
1. Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara Electrifying the Future
Leading the charge is the much-awaited e-Vitara, Maruti’s maiden foray into the electric vehicle segment. This zero-emission SUV is expected to be offered with two battery pack options and both 2WD and 4WD configurations, promising impressive range and performance. With an estimated maximum range of around 550 kilometers, the e-Vitara is all set to make a good go in the increasingly popular electric SUV market. Expect a plethora of modern features, such as standard 6 airbags, a panoramic sunroof, and a 360-degree camera system, to enhance safety and convenience.
2. 7-Seater Grand Vitara Expanding Horizons
Building on the success of the existing Grand Vitara, Maruti Suzuki is all set to introduce a 7-seater version of this popular hybrid SUV. The 7-seater Grand Vitara will be catering to families needing a spacious and versatile SUV, offering the same fuel-efficient and powerful hybrid powertrain as its sibling, the 5-seater. The added third row will be accommodated by a stretched wheelbase while subtle design and interior refinements will further help in making the product more desirable. New features and technological improvements will keep abreast with other rivals like the Hyundai Alcazar and Mahindra XUV700.
3. Maruti Suzuki Spacia A Compact MPV Challenger
Reports indicate that Maruti Suzuki is set to launch a new compact MPV that will be positioned below the Ertiga in its lineup. This new model will compete with affordable 7-seater cars such as the Renault Triber, offering practicality and affordability in a compact package. Official confirmation is awaited, but the Spacia is expected to be competitively priced, offer ample practicality, and come with all the essentials Indian buyers expect.
4. Next-Generation Maruti Suzuki Baleno Hybrid Efficiency
One of the significant updates to be given to the Baleno hatchback is the introduction of a hybrid powertrain – albeit not with Suzuki brand’s official call. In an internal document, it has been codenamed YTA. The next-generation Baleno will supposedly carry a 1.2-litre petrol engine paired with Maruti Suzuki’s in-house hybrid system, combining to achieve seamless fuel efficiency, possibly above 30 kilometers per liter.
5. Maruti Suzuki Fronx Facelift Hybrid Power and Revitalized Look
The highly popular Fronx compact SUV gets its first face-lift with a spate of changes on board. Crucially, an updated version will also likely introduce the hybrid powertrain in its new Baleno sibling, hence enhancing the mileage even more with its ‘ecofriendly’ appeal to an increasingly eco-conscience audience. Apart from the hybrid powertrain, there will be cosmetic updates and some new features like a sunroof and ventilated seats to keep it competitive in this ever-evolving compact SUV space.
The systematic proactive approach of Maruti Suzuki toward electrification with new innovative models will ensure that it stays ahead of the pack in the Indian automotive market. With a diverse assortment of offerings catering to a wide range of customer needs, Maruti Suzuki is well poised to perpetuate its leadership over the years ahead.
