Maruti Suzuki is ready to launch three SUVs in the next 8-9 months in the Indian market, including its first-ever EV – the e-Vitara
Maruti Suzuki will set the ball rolling in the Indian market with the launch of three SUVs in 2025-26. The country’s largest automaker, known globally for its budget-friendly compact hatchback and sedan models, has shifted focus towards SUVs in the last few years. In addition, it has also plans to develop a new portfolio of hybrid vehicles for the domestic market in India. In this article, we will discuss the 3 upcoming Maruti SUVs in 2025-26 in India.
1. Maruti Escudo/Victoris
Maruti Suzuki will launch a new Midsize SUV on September 3 in the Indian market. The official name has not been announced yet, but certain media reports claim that it will either be christened as ‘Escudo’ or ‘Victoris’. To be presented as a mass-market, feature-rich and low-cost model, it will be retailed through the Arena dealerships across the country.
It has been learnt that the new Maruti Midsize SUV will be bigger in length than the Grand Vitara while sharing the strong hybrid powertrain with it. It will also come with a 1.5L mild-hybrid engine setup while retrofitted CNG kits will also be on offer. We can expect both manual and automatic gearbox options with the SUV. The upcoming Maruti Midsize SUV price could start from Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom).
2. Maruti e-Vitara
Recently, PM Narendra Modi flagged off the first unit of the e-Vitara from the assembly line in Hansalpur, Gujarat. Though the initial units have been earmarked for export purposes, the domestic sales will begin in the first quarter of 2026. Maruti e-Vitara, being the first all-electric SUV from the brand, was showcased at the 2025 Bharat Mobility Global Expo in New Delhi.
Underpinning the Heartect-e platform, the e-Vitara will come equipped with several premium features in the form of 18-inch alloy wheels, LED projector headlamps, Sunroof, 10-way power adjustable driver seat, 10.1-inch digital instrument cluster, 10.25-inch central touchscreen infotainment system, 7-airbags and Level 2 ADAS among others. It will be available with two battery pack options of 49 kWh and 61 kWh with a driving range exceeding 500 km on a single charge with the latter.
3. 2026 Maruti Fronx Hybrid
Maruti Suzuki will launch the 2026 Fronx facelift by the mid of next year in India. It will be the first Maruti car to come with the brand’s self-developed Series Hybrid system. The 2026 Maruti Fronx hybrid will get the 1.2L 3-cylinder Z12E petrol engine with a 1.5-2 kWh battery and electric motors. Codenamed as Maruti YTB, the series hybrid tech in the 2026 Fronx will take its mileage to 35+kmpl.
Maruti Suzuki’s new HEV series hybrid powertrain is quite cheaper than Toyota’s Atkinson strong hybrid setup which we see in models like the Grand Vitara and HyRyder. In this setup, the petrol engine works as a generator to produce electricity for the electric motor which then powers the wheels. We will see the HEV powertrain in several future products from Maruti including the new-gen Swift and new-gen Baleno.
