Following the continued success of the existing models, the brand is now set to further expand its utility vehicle portfolio. Several new SUVs are already in the works, which shows that Maruti wants to further strengthen its hold in this fastest growing segment of the Indian market. The carmaker is working towards making inroads into all the major SUV segments and currently has four new models in the pipeline.
1. Maruti Suzuki and Vitara
Maruti Suzuki is preparing to launch its first electric car E-Vitara. It is expected that it will be available for sale in Nexa showrooms by December.

The model is already being sold in some foreign markets, while for India it will be manufactured at Maruti Suzuki’s Gujarat plant.
The upcoming E Vitara will be available with two battery configurations and both are compatible with fast-charging technology. The larger pack is expected to deliver a range of over 500 km per charge, making it one of the most efficient electric cars in its segment.
