Maruti Suzuki, India’s leading car manufacturer, is widely recognized for its fuel-efficient and affordable vehicles. The brand is now set to expand its lineup with three exciting SUVs that include hybrid engines and electric models. Here’s a detailed look at the upcoming SUVs Maruti Suzuki plans to launch in 2025.
Maruti Suzuki eVitara: The Brand’s First Electric SUV
Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to make its debut in the electric vehicle (EV) segment with the eVitara. This will mark the brand’s first fully electric SUV, addressing the absence of EVs in its portfolio. The eVitara is expected to make its Indian debut at the 2024 Bharat Mobility Auto Expo.

Globally unveiled in Milan, Italy, last month, the eVitara boasts impressive dimensions with a length of over 4 meters and a ground clearance of 180 mm. The SUV will ride on stylish 18-inch alloy wheels. Two battery options are likely to be offered: a 49 kWh and a 61 kWh pack. With a claimed range exceeding 500 km, the eVitara promises to be a game-changer in the EV market.
2025 Maruti Fronx Facelift: Now with a Hybrid Engine
The Maruti Fronx, a compact SUV that has been a game-changer for the brand, is set to receive a hybrid engine upgrade. Currently priced at ₹7.51 lakh (ex-showroom), the facelifted model is expected to come with improved fuel efficiency, thanks to its strong hybrid technology. However, this upgrade might slightly increase the vehicle’s price.
Maruti plans to equip the 2025 Fronx with its in-house developed strong hybrid system. The SUV will likely feature the 1.2L, 3-cylinder Z12E petrol engine borrowed from the Swift, coupled with strong hybrid technology. This move marks a shift from the brand’s reliance on Toyota’s hybrid technology to its proprietary systems.
