Maruti Suzuki to Launch Two New Cars by February 2027
New Delhi, November 15: Maruti Suzuki fans have exciting news as the company is set to introduce two new cars for Indian customers. The company’s target is to capture a 50% share of the passenger vehicle market in the country by 2030. To achieve this, Maruti plans to launch several new models, including seven new SUVs. Additionally, the company aims to increase its annual production capacity to 4 million units over the next five years. According to reports, Maruti is currently working on two new models as part of this strategy, which include a new electric MPV (codenamed YMC) and an updated Fronx. Both cars are expected to be showcased at the India Mobility Global Expo in February 2027. However, no official information has been released by the company yet. Let’s take a closer look at what these upcoming cars might offer.
Maruti YMC Electric MPV
The new electric MPV from Maruti is expected to be launched in the premium segment and will be sold exclusively through Nexa dealerships. Once launched, it will compete with the Kia Carens Clavis EV, which is priced between ₹18.04 lakh and ₹25 lakh. Testing for the YMC is ongoing, and recent spy photos have revealed glimpses of its exterior and interior. The design is anticipated to differ from the e Vitara, featuring a long MPV body with an SUV-like stance. According to spy photos, it may include a slim air intake above the bumper and wraparound LED headlights. Slatted DRLs inspired by the Victorious design are also expected, along with a long roofline, square wheel arches, a large glass area, and a full-width light bar at the rear.
This electric MPV will feature a three-row seating layout. In terms of features, it may come equipped with a touchscreen infotainment system and a digital instrument cluster. The YMC is expected to be built on the Heartect platform and may offer the same powertrain as the e Vitara, which includes two battery packs of 49kWh and 61kWh, providing up to 174bhp of power and a torque of 189Nm. However, due to the YMC’s larger weight and size, its power and driving range may vary.
Maruti Fronx Facelift
The 2027 Maruti Suzuki Fronx is expected to see changes in design, features, and powertrain. Spy photos have revealed a new grille at the front, which may include a box-like section for the ADAS radar sensor. The front bumper and lower air intake may also be updated, while the split headlamp setup and LED DRLs are likely to remain unchanged.
Similar to the updated Baleno, the new Fronx is expected to feature Level 2 ADAS, which may include lane departure prevention and warning, lane keep assist, advanced emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, high beam assist, forward collision warning, and vehicle sway warning. Additionally, rear disc brakes may also be included. Regarding the engine, the new Fronx facelift is likely to feature Maruti’s new strong hybrid powertrain.
