Maruti Suzuki is working on several new initiatives over the next few years. Starting in 2026, the company will introduce series-hybrid sub-4 meter cars with 1.2-liter engines capable of delivering mileage of up to 35 km/l. The SUV lineup is also rapidly expanding. The Victoris was recently launched, competing with the Hyundai Creta. The company’s first electric SUV, the e-Vitara, is also expected to hit the market by the end of the year. This move will further strengthen Maruti Suzuki’s position in the global market.
