Maruti Suzuki Likely to Launch 2 All-New MPVs: EV and Hybrid

Maruti YMC electric MPV testing begins Suzuki Spacia based sub-4 meter MPV in the works

India’s largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki is planning to launch multiple new MPVs, including the Ertiga facelift and the Invicto facelift, in the country. The company is also developing two new MPVs, including an all-new electric MPV and a Spacia-based sub-4 meter hybrid. In fact, testing of the electric vehicle has already been commenced.

Maruti YMC Electric MPV

Estimated Price: 18 lakh - 24 lakh
Expected Launch: Early 2027
Competition: Kia Carens Clavis EV

Internally codenamed YMC, the new Maruti electric MPV will come with modern styling. It will directly rival the Kia Carens Clavis EV, BYD eMax 7 and the VinFast VF MPV 7. It will be the second all-electric product based on the Suzuki’s eHEARTECT platform that underpins the Suzuki e Vitara.

The Maruti YMC MPV is likely to share the electric Vitara’s battery options, including 49kWh and 61kWh with front-axle-mounted electric motor. The bigger 61kWh battery version is expected to offer a claimed range of over 500km on a single charge. In a bid to increase economies of scale, we expect the new MPV to share the interior and features with the SUV.

Maruti Compact Electric MPV

Estimated Price: Rs 6.5 lakh - 13 lakh
Expected Launch: 2027-28
Competition: Renault Kiger and Nissan Gravite

Maruti Suzuki India Limited is working on an all-new entry-level MPV, which will be based on the Suzuki Spacia on sale in Japan. Codenamed YDB, the new 3-row Maruti Suzuki MPV is expected to be launched sometime in 2027-28. The Spacia is 3.4 meter long mini Van, but India-spec model will be stretched up to 4 meters. Instead of sliding doors, the India-spec model could get regular doors with sliding function in 2nd row seats to access the last row.

The MPV is expected to carry boxy silhouette to offer spacious cabin. It will directly rival the Renault Kiger. It is likely to receive significant changes inside the cabin. To be positioned below the Ertiga, the new Maruti MPV is rumoured to be sold through NEXA premium dealership network.

The company is developing a new Series hybrid powertrain, which is claimed to be cheaper than the parallel or Series-parallel hybrid engines. The hybrid system is likely to comprise the new Z12E, 1.2L 3-cylinder engine, a 1.5-2kWh battery pack and an electric motor. The 1.2L 3-cylinder engine will act as a generator to charge the small battery pack, while the electric motor will drive the front wheels.
