3 Upcoming Toyota and Maruti Suzuki SUVs:
1. Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara – Brand’s First Full-Electric SUV.
Maruti Suzuki is finally ready to take its first step in the EV market – and it will be called Maruti e-Vitara. The 5-seater electric SUV is expected to launch in India by September and will be based on Maruti’s premium Heartect e-skateboard platform.
The best part? The SUV will come with two battery options – 49 kWh and 61 kWh. The larger pack is claimed to offer a range of 500+ km, making it one of the most capable EVs in its segment.
Charging will also be tension-free – it will support DC fast charging, and the SUV will be retailed through Nexa dealerships. It will rival the Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra XEV 9e, BE 6, and Hyundai Creta Electric.
Features include:
- Fully-digital instrument cluster.
- Panoramic sunroof.
- Large touchscreen.
- Level 2 ADAS.
- Multiple airbags.
- Ventilated seats.
- Automatic climate control.
All of these will create a solid premium feel for Maruti’s first electric SUV.
2. Maruti Suzuki Escudo – Compact Hybrid SUV With Big Ambitions.
Maruti Suzuki is set to launch an all-new hybrid SUV that will be positioned above the Brezza and below the Grand Vitara. The SUV will be sold through Arena dealerships and could be called Escudo (tentative). Design inspiration has been taken from the Vitara, so the styling will be quite sharp and modern.
The SUV will likely come with two petrol engine options:
- 1.5L mild hybrid petrol.
- 1.5L strong hybrid petrol.
The SUV will come in the compact category but with a premium touch. It will challenge the Honda Elevate, Hyundai Venue, and Kia Sonet in this segment, especially for mileage and ride comfort lovers.
3. Toyota Urban Cruiser BEV – Toyota’s Full-Electric Answer to the Future.
Toyota made the global debut of its full-electric SUV – the Urban Cruiser BEV – in Brussels, and then showcased it at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 in Delhi. And now, finally, it is ready to be launched in India as well.
This SUV will share the platform and mechanical setup of Maruti e-Vitara, but the exterior design will be slightly different, with more Toyota-style finish. Features also similar to mileage: large infotainment, ADAS, sunroof, ventilated seats, etc.
Toyota has not yet revealed the exact battery specs, but it is expected to get the same 49 kWh and 61 kWh options as offered in the Maruti e-Vitara. Launch timeline is expected by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
