Upcoming Maruti Suzuki Electric & Hybrid SUVs - What We Know So Far

Maruti Suzuki’s upcoming SUVs in India: the first EV e Vitara with 500+ km range, a 7-seater Grand Vitara, compact Micro SUV, and fuel-efficient Fronx Hybrid, offering modern features and ADAS safety tech.

Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to unleash a whole new slate of cars onto the market. Despite already seeing high demand for its current lineup - the company has given a big nudge to its plans to bring out more utility vehicles, particularly SUVs. With a bunch of new SUVs already in the works Maruti Suzuki is well aware of just how big this segment has become. They're keen to have a presence in every major SUV type, with a good four important models now reportedly being developed which says a lot about Maruti Suzuki's ambitions for the future of its range.

1. Maruti Suzuki e Vitara:

One of the most highly anticipated new cars on the horizon is the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara - the first electric vehicle (EV) in the company's lineup. This EV will be showing up in Nexa showrooms in December. It will be built on a special platform called Heartect e that's specifically designed for electric cars. It promises modern features and the highest safety standards. The e Vitara has already been a hit in other countries and is currently being churned out at Maruti Suzuki's plant in Gujarat. This launch marks a big deal for Maruti Suzuki as it gets its toes wet in the electric car market, and really shows its commitment to giving buyers more environmentally-friendly transport options.

The e Vitara will come with not one, but two battery options. Both of these - will let buyers quick charge on the go. The big battery pack is tipped to give a certified driving range of over 500km from a single charge - not bad for an electric car. Inside the e Vitara will come with all the bells and whistles - think large touchscreen for entertainment, a panoramic sunroof to give it that open feel, and a fully digital driver screen. It will also have Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) features which will make driving safer and easier & will make the e Vitara one seriously well-equipped and forward thinking vehicle.

2. Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara (7-Seater)

Maruti Suzuki is also thinking about bringing out a seven-seater version of their Grand Vitara SUV. This bigger Grand Vitara will come with loads of extra space and a more premium feel - all designed to give it the edge it needs to compete with other large SUVs like the Mahindra XUV700 and Tata Safari. If they greenlight this plan the bigger SUV could be on the market in the next two years. That would give families and those who need a bit more room another choice in the - growing SUV segment. It really shows Maruti Suzuki is trying to cater to all sorts of customer needs and offer up all sorts of useful options.

3.  Maruti Suzuki Micro SUV:

Another new car on the cards from Maruti Suzuki is a tiny micro SUV, which is currently being worked on. This little SUV is expected to launch sometime between late 2026 and early 2027. Its going to be smaller than the Brezza and will be straight up competing with popular small SUVs like the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter. This part of the market is super competitive. One thing that might just give it the edge though - is Maruti Suzuki's brand new next-gen hybrid engine system, which will be great for fuel efficiency. This really shows the company's focus on offering fuel-friendly, compact options for city driving.

4. Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid:

And finally, Maruti Suzuki might also be working on a hybrid version of the Fronx SUV. This hybrid will use the same Smart Hybrid tech as the Dzire sold in other countries. The company is also working on several other hybrid cars, so clearly they are moving towards more fuel efficient and eco friendly options across their entire range. These new hybrid cars will give customers more options for cars that use less fuel and produce less emissions, as per global trends for sustainable mobility.

Here is a summary of the upcoming Maruti Suzuki SUVs:
