Maruti’s new electric MPV and Fronx facelift is expected in February. YMC could rival the Kia Carens Clavis EV. The updated Fronx might get ADAS features and hybrid technology.
Maruti Suzuki aims to regain a 50% share of India’s passenger vehicle market by 2030. To achieve this target, the company plans to launch multiple new models, including seven new SUVs, while adopting a multi-powertrain strategy. The carmaker will also expand its annual production capacity to 4 million units over the next five years.
Meanwhile, Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to launch two models – an all-new electric MPV (codenamed YMC) and the facelifted Fronx. Both models are expected to make their official debut at the Bharat Global Mobility Expo in February, 2027. Here’s what we know so far about these upcoming Maruti cars.
Maruti YMC Electric MPV
The upcoming Maruti electric MPV is expected to be positioned as a premium and retailed exclusively through the Nexa dealerships. Upon launch, the model will compete with the Kia Carens Clavis EV, which is currently priced between Rs 18.04 lakh – Rs 25 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Maruti YMC is currently undergoing testing, and the latest spy shorts offer glimpses of its exterior and interior. It will have a different body style from the e Vitara, combining conventional MPV and an SUV-ish stance.
Spy images suggest that the YMC will feature slim air intake positioned above the front bumper and wraparound LED headlamps with slatted DRLs. The DRL arrangement could be inspired from the Maruti Victoris. Other expected design elements are likely to include a long roofline, squared wheel arches, large glass area, a full-width rear light arrangement, slim reflectors positioned on the rear bumper and vertically stacked tailgate.
The new Maruti electric MPV will feature a three-row seating configuration with expected features such as a touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster and more.
Based on Heartect platform, the YMC is expected to share its powertrain with the eVitara. The electric SUV is currently available with two battery pack options, 49kWh and 61kWh, delivering power worth 144bhp with 189Nm and 174bh with 189Nm. However, the output figures and driving range of the YMC could be different, considering its larger and heavier body-built.
Maruti Fronx Facelift
The 2027 Maruti Fronx facelift is expected to receive subtle design changs and feature enhancements along with a substantial powertrain upgrade. In spy images, the compact crossover appears to feature a revised grille with a box-like element housing an ADAS radar sensor. It could also get a revised front bumper and lower air intake, while the split headlamp setup and LED DRLs will remain unchanged.
Similar to the updated Baleno, the facelifted Fronx is expected to offer a level 2 ADAS package. It could include features such as lane departure prevention and warning, lane keep assist, advanced emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, high beam assist, forward collision warning and vehicle sway warning. The new Fronx will also come equipped with rear disc brakes.
Under the hood, the new Maruti Fronx facelift is expected to feature the brand’s all-new strong hybrid powertrain that’s reported to be based on the 1.2-litre Z12E petrol engine. It will be a series hybrid powertrain, which could be more cost-effective than Toyota’s series-parallel hybrid system. The Fronx hybrid is likely to offer a fuel efficiency of over 35kmpl.
