Maruti’s new hybrid SUV to be launched soon: Will compete with Tata Punch with strong mileage and safety

Amidst the increasing competition in the country’s SUV market, Maruti Suzuki India is preparing to play a big bet. The company may soon launch a compact SUV equipped with its new hybrid technology, which can create a stir in the market with excellent mileage, attractive design and strong safety features.

It is being told that the company has been working on the new Maruti Fronx for a long time and its testing has also been seen on the roads. This new SUV can come with a hybrid engine, while its flex-fuel variant has also been introduced. It is believed that this vehicle will directly compete with Tata Punch, which is currently one of the best selling cars in this segment.

Talking about the design, according to the spy pictures, the ‘tall-boy’ style of this SUV gives it a strong and sturdy look. Features like square wheel arches, flat roofline and roof rails can be seen in it. Its compact size makes it a perfect micro SUV for cities.

This car can prove to be a big game changer in terms of mileage. According to reports, it can be given hybrid technology with 1.2 liter petrol engine, due to which its mileage can reach around 40 km per liter. If this happens then it can become the most fuel efficient SUV in its segment.

This time also the company does not want to make any compromise from security point of view. This new SUV can be given advanced features like strong platform, multiple airbags and Electronic Stability Control (ESC). It is believed that this vehicle may also be capable of achieving 5-star safety rating.

This move by Maruti Suzuki is clearly to challenge the growing popularity of Tata Punch. This competition is going to become even more interesting in the coming times, due to which customers are expected to get better options.

Overall, this new hybrid SUV of Maruti can emerge as a strong package in terms of mileage, safety and design, which can create its own special identity in the Indian market.
