Maruti Suzuki to launch 8 new models in next 4 years

These include EVs, hybrids, CNG, flex-fuel and conventional petrol-powered vehicles.

Maruti Suzuki is gearing up for a new product onslaught under its Vision 3.0 strategy. 8 new models will be introduced in the next 3-4 years. These include EVs, hybrids, CNG, flex-fuel and conventional petrol-powered vehicles. The carmaker is also looking to double its production capacity to 4 million units and triple its exports in the next 8 years.

Maruti has lined up three new launches for 2024. First up is the new Swift and Dzire (codenamed: YED). While the hatchback has already been spotted testing in India, we are yet to see test mules of the new Dzire out on the streets. Both cars will be powered by the new Z-series 1.2-litre petrol engine.

Maruti Suzuki is likely to introduce its first pure-electric car, the eVX, around September-October 2024. This mid-size electric SUV will compete with the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV.

We might witness the launch of a new 3-row SUV based on the Grand Vitara in Q1 2025. The new model (codenamed: Y17), is expected to get petrol, CNG and hybrid powertrain options. It will be manufactured at the new Kharkhoda plant and compete with the XUV700, Alcazar and Safari.

Maruti’s second electric offering could see the light of day around September-October 2026. It is expected to be a 3-row electric MPV (codenamed: YMC). The Suzuki Spacia-based compact MPV (codenamed: YDB) is also expected to arrive in 2026. It will be positioned below the Ertiga / XL6.

Maruti’s most affordable electric offering is likely to be the EWX-based hatchback (codenamed: K-EV) that is expected to rival the Tiago EV. It is planned for April-May 2026.

Maruti is reportedly planning to launch a new sub-compact SUV (codenamed: Y43) in Q3 of CY2026. It is expected to be positioned below the Brezza and will rival the Tata Punch.
