Maruti Suzuki is the largest carmaker in the country by a mile but has struggled in recent years when it comes to SUVs. It plans to change that with as many as 4 new launches expected soon.
In a bid to conquer the SUV segment in India, Maruti is planning an onslaught with 4 new SUVs planned for launch within a couple of years. Now, Hyundai and Tata are the current leaders in the SUV space, while Maruti is the undisputed leader in almost all the other major segments in our market. Such a huge discrepancy in the sales of products from various segments has prompted it to act quickly. To fix that, we might see 4 new SUVs by the end of 2023 in our market.

The Creta-rivalling mid-size SUV that will be developed by Toyota (Hyryder) will be supplied to Maruti where it could be called YGF. This takes the JV partnership between the two brands forward with Toyota being the donor company in this case as opposed to Maruti in the previous cases with Baleno-Glanza and Brezza-Urban Cruiser. The launch might happen around the festive season this year (2022).

Maruti Jimny
Last but not the least, the arrival of the Thar-rivalling Maruti Jimny has been in the news since time immemorial.

For the off-road enthusiasts looking for a relatively more affordable solution, the likes of Thar and the upcoming Jimny are the ideal SUVs for some serious adventures. These are the 4 new SUVs that Maruti might launch over the course of the next year and a half to assert its dominance in India.
