The upcoming Maruti micro-SUV hasn’t been spotted yet; that said, no information has been revealed about it. However, we expect this Maruti SUV to have a tall-boy design like its rival, the Tata Punch. The tall-boy design used in the WagonR has already worked for Maruti, and applying the same formula to this new micro-SUV could be a clear game-changer.

Under the hood, we expect this new Maruti SUV to be equipped with the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine from the Fronx and the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine from the Dzire and the Swift. As this is a Maruti product, we could also expect it to come with a CNG kit paired with the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine.
Moreover, we already know that Maruti is working on introducing series hybrids to be paired with the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine. So, this upcoming Maruti SUV could also get a good benefit from it. Transmission duties are expected to be handled by manual and automatic gearboxes.

Expected Launch & Pricing
Maruti has not yet revealed any specific launch timeline for this SUV. We expect this new SUV to be launched by the end of 2027. Once launched, this new Maruti SUV is likely to go up against the Tata Punch, Hyundai Exter,, and other micro SUVs. To gain an advantage in the competition, we expect this Maruti SUV to undercut its rivals’ prices. That said, it could be priced between Rs. 6.5 lakh – Rs. 11 lakh (on-road, Mumbai).
