3 Upcoming Maruti SUVs In 2025 - EV & Hybrids

Maruti Suzuki aims to regain a 50 percent market share by the fiscal year 2030 with a plan to expand its SUV and MPV lineup while introducing new entry-level products. Recently, the carmaker announced it will launch four EVs instead of the previously planned six EVs by the end of this decade. In 2025, the Indo-Japanese automaker will introduce three new SUVs including the e Vitara EV, Fronx hybrid and Grand Vitara 7-seater hybrid.
 

Maruti e Vitara
 

The Maruti e Vitara will be the brand’s first electric offering, which will go against the Hyundai Creta EV, Mahindra BE 6 and MG ZS EV. It will be designed on the skateboard Heartect-e platform and will come with two battery pack options – 49kWh and 61kWh. The smaller battery, paired with the front axle mounted motors, delivers a maximum power of 143bhp and 193Nm of torque, while the bigger battery pack is good enough for 173bhp with 193Nm. In its higher-spec version, the electric Vitara will offer an MIDC-rated range of over 500km.
 

The dashboard layout of the new Maruti e Vitara is different from Maruti Suzuki’s other cars. It features a floating 10.25-inch screen for infotainment and instrument functionalities, rectangular AC vents with brushed silver surrounds, a 10.1-inch instrument cluster, part-leatherette upholstery, two-spoke flat bottom steering, wireless phone charger, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, ventilated front seats, a 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat, 7 airbags, Level 2 ADAS and more.
 

Maruti Fronx Hybrid
 

Maruti Suzuki will introduce its own strong hybrid powertrain this year, which will be designed and developed specifically for its mass-market vehicles. The Fronx will be the first model to feature this technology, using a 1.2L, 3-cylinder Z12E petrol engine. With the new strong hybrid tech, the 2025 Maruti Fronx is likely to deliver a mileage of over 35kmpl. At present, the compact crossover comes with the 1.2L K-Series petrol engine and two gearbox options – a 5-speed manual and a 5-speed AMT. These engine-gearbox combos will also be carried forward to the updated lineup. For MY2025, the Maruti Fronx might also get the ADAS (advanced driver assistance system).
 

Maruti 7-Seater Hybrid SUV
 

Aiming to tap the growing premium three-row SUV segment, Maruti Suzuki will bring in the 7-seater version of the Grand Vitara towards the end of this year. This new SUV will be longer than its donor sibling but retain the same wheelbase. Similar to the 5-seater Grand Vitara, the new Maruti three-row SUV will come with a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, electronic stability control, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, a 360-degree camera, six airbags, tyre pressure monitoring system and many more features.
 

The new Maruti Grand Vitara 7-seater SUV could be offered with the ADAS suite. Its overall design and styling will be identical to its 5-seater version, but a few cosmetic changes are expected such as revised front and rear bumpers, redesigned headlamps, new alloy wheels and updated taillamps.
