India’s automotive industry is gearing up for significant innovation as Maruti Suzuki plans to launch six all-new models by 2030. These upcoming vehicles, evenly split between three internal combustion engine (ICE) and three electric vehicles (EVs), highlight the company’s ambitious roadmap. From hatchbacks to SUVs, Maruti Suzuki is targeting a broad spectrum of segments while updating its existing lineup with next-gen versions of popular models like the Ertiga and Grand Vitara.
Here’s an overview of the six exciting models set to hit Indian roads in the coming years.

e-Vitara
The Maruti e-Vitara, the company’s first-ever electric SUV, recently debuted at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. Scheduled for launch in March, the e-Vitara will take on competitors like the Hyundai Creta EV, Tata Curvv, and Mahindra BE 6. This EV is designed to combine Maruti’s signature reliability with cutting-edge electric technology, potentially reshaping the mid-size SUV market.
Grand Vitara 7-Seater (Y17)
Maruti is stepping into the premium segment with the Grand Vitara 7-seater, codenamed Y17. This three-row SUV will feature a longer wheelbase and extended rear overhang to accommodate third-row seating. Borrowing design cues from the e-Vitara, it promises a blend of sophistication and practicality. Positioned as a rival to the Mahindra XUV 700, Hyundai Alcazar, and Tata Safari, it will launch during the festive season of 2025.
Electric MPV (YMC)
By 2026, Maruti Suzuki will unveil its first all-electric MPV, the YMC. Built on the e-Vitara platform, this MPV is expected to rival the Kia Carens EV. While specific details remain under wraps, the YMC will likely share many features with the e-Vitara, including its battery and motor. With growing demand for family-friendly electric vehicles, this model could redefine the MPV segment in India.
Tata Punch Rival (Y43)
To compete with the Tata Punch, which recently disrupted the market by becoming India’s best-selling car, Maruti will introduce an entry-level SUV codenamed Y43. Slotted below the Brezza, Jimny, and Grand Vitara, this compact SUV is designed to appeal to budget-conscious buyers. Launching in late 2026, it will also take on competitors like the Hyundai Exter.
Renault Triber Rival (YDB)
Maruti Suzuki plans to challenge the Renault Triber with a new MPV codenamed YDB. Expected to launch in early 2027, this three-row vehicle will sit below the Ertiga in the lineup. Based on the Suzuki Solio, the YDB may offer a spacious interior without sliding doors, aiming to balance affordability and functionality.
Small EV Hatchback (Y2V)
In a bid to democratize EVs, Maruti is developing an affordable electric hatchback, the Y2V. Drawing inspiration from the eWX concept unveiled in Japan, the Y2V will enter the market in late 2027. With an expected starting price of ₹6-7 lakh and a range of 300+ km, it will directly compete with models like the MG Comet EV and Tata Tiago EV.
Maruti Suzuki’s bold strategy to launch these six diverse models reflects its commitment to staying ahead in the rapidly evolving Indian automotive market. By offering a mix of ICE, hybrid, and electric options, the company is addressing various consumer needs while embracing the future of mobility. As each model rolls out, Maruti is set to strengthen its legacy as India’s leading automaker.
