6 Upcoming Maruti Suzuki Hybrid And EV Cars Set To Transform 2027

Maruti Suzuki is preparing for one of its busiest product phases yet with a strong focus on hybrid and electric cars. The company wants to secure its mass market leadership by introducing compact models in several segments. The journey begins with the hybrid version of the Fronx crossover, followed by multiple new vehicles that will target first time buyers, family users and electric car shoppers

Maruti Suzuki Hybrid Plans Start With Updated Fronx

The updated Fronx is expected to be the first model in this new phase. Maruti is likely to equip it with ADAS features and a mild-hybrid system like the one used in global markets. Over time, this mild-hybrid setup may be replaced by Maruti Suzuki’s own strong-hybrid system. This change would make the Fronx more fuel efficient and more feature rich giving buyers a better overall package in the compact crossover segment

New Entry Level Small Car In The Maruti Suzuki Hybrid Pipeline

Maruti is also developing an all new small hatchback aimed at re-igniting interest among first-time car buyers. The model is rumored to come with multiple engine choices. These could include CNG, flex fuel and a hybrid powertrain. With such a broad lineup, this new hatchback can appeal to many types of buyers who want low running costs and flexible fuel options. This move is important today because the entry level segment has slowed down in recent years and Maruti wants to bring those customers back

Compact MPV Below Ertiga To Get Maruti Suzuki Hybrid Power

Another new product under development is a compact MPV that will sit below the Ertiga. Early details suggest it may follow the design direction of the Suzuki Spacia sold abroad, which uses a tall and space efficient body. The MPV is expected to run on a strong hybrid petrol engine. With this setup, it will go up against the Renault Triber and an upcoming sub-4m MPV from Nissan. The focus here will be on interior room, city comfort and high fuel savings

Small EV Based On The eWX Concept

On the electric side, Maruti Suzuki has begun work on a compact EV that takes inspiration from the eWX concept. The company is expected to keep the tall, boxy shape that the concept is known for. This design helps create more cabin space and makes the EV practical for everyday use. The production model will likely target buyers who want an easy-to-drive electric car with simple running costs and good city comfort

Micro SUV Expected By 2026-27 With Maruti Suzuki Hybrid Tech

Maruti is also working on a micro SUV that is likely to be launched around 2026 or 2027. This small SUV will compete directly with the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter. Hybrid technology is expected to be one of its main selling points. For hatchback buyers who want a tougher, SUV-like design, this model could become a strong alternative. The micro SUV segment is growing fast, and Maruti wants a competitive model in this space

Next Gen Baleno To Feature Maruti Suzuki Hybrid Innovations In 2027

At the premium end, the next generation Baleno is expected to arrive around 2027. This updated model will come with a fresh design language, a more premium cabin and a much stronger focus on hybrid performance. Early information suggests the hatchback may use a range extender style hybrid system that could deliver more than 30 kmpl. If this becomes reality the next Baleno will likely be one of the most efficient cars in its segment
