Maruti SUV Plan for Next 6 Years - EV, Hybrid and Petrol Mix

Maruti Suzuki is getting ready for a big change in its product strategy. The company is planning to launch multiple new Maruti SUVs in India over the next six years, with a strong focus on different fuel options.

The brand is clearly betting big on SUVs as customer demand continues to rise across segments.

Strong Focus on Upcoming Maruti SUVs

Maruti Suzuki is working on a plan to introduce around seven upcoming Maruti SUVs by 2032. This shows how important SUVs have become for the company’s future growth.

From small city-friendly models to larger family SUVs, the lineup is expected to cover a wide range of buyers. With this move, Maruti aims to strengthen its position in one of the fastest-growing segments in India.

Mix of Petrol, Hybrid and Electric

One key highlight of this strategy is flexibility. Instead of focusing on just one technology, Maruti will offer multiple powertrain options.

Buyers can expect petrol, CNG/CBG, mild-hybrid, strong hybrid and fully electric versions across different models. This approach will help Maruti adapt to changing market trends and customer needs.

Some buyers may still prefer petrol or CNG for affordability, while others may shift to hybrids or EVs for better efficiency and lower emissions.

New Compact SUV to Rival Tata Punch

Maruti is also planning a new small SUV, expected to arrive by 2028. This model could directly target the Maruti micro SUV rival Tata Punch segment.

The upcoming SUV is likely to come with multiple engine options, including petrol and CNG, along with a possible electric version. This could make it one of the most versatile options in its category.

Existing SUVs to Get Generational Updates

Maruti already has a strong SUV portfolio. Popular models like the Maruti Brezza, Maruti Fronx, Maruti Jimny and Maruti Grand Vitara will continue to play a key role.

By 2032, all these SUVs are expected to move to their next-generation versions. Along with design and feature upgrades, they could also get hybrid or electric powertrains to stay future-ready.

SUV Segment Share on the Rise

Maruti’s focus on SUVs is already showing results. The company’s share in the SUV segment has increased from 16.8 percent to 19.3 percent in FY26.

With more new Maruti SUVs in the pipeline, this number is likely to grow further in the coming years.

Hatchbacks and Sedans Still Important

Even with this SUV push, Maruti is not ignoring its core strengths. Popular models like the Maruti Swift, Maruti Dzire and Maruti Baleno will continue to be part of the lineup.

This balanced strategy ensures that Maruti caters to both traditional car buyers and those shifting towards SUVs.
