Maruti’s Expo Lineup

After the success of the new Brezza and Grand Vitara, 2022 has been a wonderful year for Maruti Suzuki. However, despite the success, Maruti still couldn’t regain its 50% market share. And now, in a bid to tackle this situation, Hisashi Takeuchi, Managing Director of Maruti Suzuki, revealed that the company is ready to showcase two new SUVs at the upcoming Auto Expo 2023. One of these would be the much-awaited 5-door Jimny, while the other would most likely be the Baleno-based coupe SUV. Other than these, the MD has also confirmed that the brand will showcase one electric concept SUV (Codenamed YY8), which will be a Creta-sized SUV that might go on sale by 2025.

Other than Maruti Suzuki is all geared up to showcase 16 vehicles at the Auto Expo 2023, will include:

1. YY8 Concept SUV
   

   

   The all-electric SUV concept from Maruti, the YY8 concept will be the brand’s show-stopper at the Expo 2023. As large as the Creta in size, the YY8 will offer an estimated range of 500 Kms.

In terms of juice, the SUV will be powered by a 1.5 litre K15 C Dual Jet Petrol engine returning 103 BHP/137NM with Mild-Hybrid tech onboard mated to either a 6-speed torque convertor auto or a classic 5-speed manual.

3. Baleno Based Coupe SUV
   

   

   Codenamed YTB, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno Cross SUV coupe could be the next big thing at the Auto Expo 2023. Spied testing a few times now.
