\"Maruti<\/p>

Maruti Suzuki<\/a> India is preparing for a major shift as it steps into the electric vehicle space for the first time. The company is ready to introduce its first electric SUV, the e Vitara next month. This launch will mark the beginning of Maruti Suzuki\u2019s electric journey in the Indian market. Soon after the brand is already working on its second electric product which will be a fully electric MPV planned for a later launch<\/p>

This approach shows that Maruti Suzuki is not limiting its EV plans to just SUVs. Instead, it aims to cover multiple body styles to meet the needs of Indian buyers<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

The upcoming e Vitara<\/a> will be Maruti Suzuki\u2019s first fully electric vehicle for the Indian market. Positioned as a midsize electric SUV, it will act as the foundation for the brand\u2019s EV plans. Once the e Vitara is launched and established, Maruti Suzuki will move to the next phase of its electric strategy<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

That next step will be the introduction of an electric MPV, which will expand the company\u2019s EV presence beyond the SUV body style<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Internally, the upcoming electric MPV is known by the codename Maruti YMC. This model will mark Maruti Suzuki\u2019s first entry into the electric MPV space. Until now, the company has focused on petrol and hybrid MPVs, but the YMC will change that by offering a fully electric people mover<\/p>

With this model, Maruti Suzuki aims to build a wider electric vehicle portfolio instead of limiting itself to SUVs alone<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Expected Launch Timeline For Maruti Suzuki Electric MPV<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h2>

As per current reports the new Maruti Suzuki electric MPV is expected to be launched around September 2026. The company has not yet made any official announcement about the exact launch date but this timeline fits well with Maruti\u2019s plan to introduce electric vehicles in stages<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

So far, no test mule of the electric MPV has been seen on Indian roads. This suggests that road testing is likely to begin later this year or early next year. The phased approach will give Maruti Suzuki enough time to fine tune the product for Indian road and usage conditions<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

Platform Details And EV Architecture<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/h2>

The Maruti Suzuki electric MPV is expected to be built on a derivative of the 27PL skateboard platform. This is a born electric architecture jointly developed by Maruti Suzuki and Toyota<\/a>. The same platform also underpins the upcoming e Vitara<\/p>
