Following what was one of the most aggressive product offensives by Maruti Suzuki in the last few years, the carmaker is gearing up for an even more audacious goal with what it calls Vision 3.0. The plan envisages Maruti Suzuki doubling production capacity to four million units and tripling exports from India in the next eight years, but crucially, by the end of the decade, it intends to expand the number of models in its portfolio from 17 to 28. There are as many as eight new models headed our way in the next three to four years. The 28-model portfolio is likely to sport half a dozen different powertrains from EVs to hybrids, petrol, CNG, flex-fuel and ethanol-powered cars. Here’s what’s store. Maruti Suzuki, India's leading automobile manufacturer, has always been at the forefront of innovation, setting new benchmarks in the automotive industry. With a legacy spanning decades, Maruti Suzuki has consistently delivered vehicles that cater to the evolving needs and preferences of Indian consumers. In a bid to maintain its market dominance and stay ahead of the competition, Maruti Suzuki has announced plans to launch eight new models over the course of the next four years. This ambitious undertaking signals a transformative journey for the brand, as it seeks to revolutionize its product lineup and solidify its position as a pioneer in the Indian automotive market.
1. Maruti's XUV700, Alcazar rival
A three-row version of the Grand Vitara (codenamed Y17) is in the works too, and it will be the first Maruti to roll out from the new Kharkhoda plant. Expected to get a petrol, a Toyota hybrid and CNG powertrains upon launch, this new SUV will also be built for Toyota by Maruti and will be priced on the lines of the XUV700 , Alcazar and Safari .
Key Features
- Zero-emission electric powertrain for eco-friendly driving.
- Spacious interior with versatile seating arrangements.
- Advanced battery technology for extended range and fast charging.
- Smart connectivity features for enhanced convenience and entertainment.
2. Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Facelift
For the next-gen hatch and compact sedan siblings, Maruti plans to bring the Swift before the Dzire . Insiders at Maruti tell us that the company thinks the Swift brand value needs to be re-established as a sporty hatch for the masses, just like the first-gen car from 2005. The new Swift sports an evolutionary design with familiar interiors, however, the Dzire will sport more upmarket looks with added chrome and lighter interior shades. Both models will get more features as well, along with the new Z-series 1.2-litre petrol engine.
Key Features
- Refreshed design with sleek styling cues.
- Comfortable interior with ample legroom and headroom.
- Efficient petrol engines for optimal performance and fuel economy.
- Advanced safety features including rear parking sensors and dual airbags.
3. Maruti's Punch-rivalling SUV
The sub-four-metre SUV market has crossed a million-unit mark and Maruti wants to cash in even more with an all-new Punch rival that will sit below the Brezza, making it the fourth SUV after the Jimny , Brezza and the Fronx in the compact SUV segment. The Y43 is expected around October 2026 and may sit alongside the Ignis in the Indian market. So far, Maruti is relying on SUV-like models in the lower segment like the S-Presso and Ignis to appeal to budget SUV buyers. This new model will get proper SUV styling like the Punch and Exter in order to win over customers.
Key Features
- Refreshed design with premium styling elements.
- Versatile seating arrangements for maximum flexibility and comfort.
- Advanced safety features including dual airbags and ABS with EBD.
- Efficient petrol engines for optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
4. Suzuki Spacia-based MPV
An all-new compact MPV (codenamed YDB) is being readied for a debut sometime in 2026. Likely to be called the Spacia , a Japanese K-car on which it is based, a stretched version is expected and could rival the Triber as a compact people mover. The Japanese Spacia has sliding doors but we are not sure if cost targets will allow this feature to be carried over to the Indian YDB. Expect a cleverly designed three-row cabin in a compact footprint along with a decent features list fit for the Nexa brand.
Key Features
- Hybrid powertrain for enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
- Elegant design with premium interior finishes.
- Regenerative braking system for improved energy efficiency.
- Start-stop technology for enhanced fuel savings in city traffic.
5. Maruti eVX SUV
Maruti will make its EV debut with a midsize electric SUV, which will go up against the Creta but unlike the Hyundai, this will be a born EV built on a bespoke electric platform. The eVX is expected with a five-seat layout and will be built alongside its Toyota derivative that will go on sale a little later. Two battery pack options with a maximum range of around 550 km are expected. The eVX will also be exported to markets like Japan and Europe in the future. This SUV, alongside its Toyota sibling, will be built at Suzuki Motor Gujarat’s (SMG) Hansalpur facility, located 90 km from Ahmedabad.
Key Features
- Refreshed design with dynamic styling cues.
- Spacious cabin with premium interior finishes.
- Advanced safety technologies including rear parking sensors and dual airbags.
- Efficient petrol engines for optimal performance and fuel economy.
6. Maruti's electric MPV
The born-EV architecture, jointly developed by Toyota, will be the multiple body styles and along with the eVX, an all-new MPV is under development too. This will be Maruti’s first electric MPV and is due for launch in September 2026. Expect a lot of component-sharing with the eVX, including the EV powertrain and battery options.
Key Features
- Iconic design with rugged styling cues.
- Advanced four-wheel-drive system for off-road capability.
- Spacious interior with versatile seating arrangements.
- Efficient petrol engines for optimal performance and fuel efficiency.
7. Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza Petrol
The Vitara Brezza Petrol offers a petrol-powered alternative to Maruti Suzuki's popular compact SUV, catering to the preferences of drivers who prefer petrol engines over diesel. With its bold design, spacious cabin, and refined petrol engines, the Vitara Brezza Petrol promises to deliver a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience on city streets and highways alike. Equipped with advanced safety features and smart connectivity options, the Brezza Petrol aims to set new benchmarks for compact SUVs in its segment.
Key Features

With its refreshed design, enhanced features, and advanced safety technologies, the New Swift aims to captivate a new generation of drivers while retaining its loyal fan base.

Maruti is developing a low-cost EV on a bespoke electric platform (K-EV). The first model is likely to be an all-new EV based on the eWX concept showcased at the Japan Mobility Show. This model is still some time away and not expected before 2026-’27. To meet aggressive cost targets, Maruti Suzuki is heavily localising the K-EV platform, including the battery packs and cells to ensure that the company is able to offer a competitive price to challenge EV market leader Tata Motors.
