- Maruti Fronx Strong Hybrid – This will be Maruti’s first cost-effective strong hybrid model, using an in-house hybrid system. The 1.2L 3-cylinder Z-Series petrol engine is expected to be hybridized for this mass-market SUV.
- Premium 7-Seater SUV – Over 4.5 metres long, likely based on the Grand Vitara platform, sharing its powertrains and features. This SUV will compete directly with the Hyundai Alcazar, Mahindra XUV700, and Tata Safari.
