Maruti’s Upcoming SUV: Bigger Than Brezza, Launching in 2025 via Arena
Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to introduce a new SUV, codenamed Y17, slated for launch in late 2025. Positioned between the Brezza and Grand Vitara, this model aims to bridge the gap in Maruti’s SUV lineup and will be available through the Arena dealership network.
Design and Dimensions
The upcoming SUV is expected to be slightly longer than the Grand Vitara, offering enhanced cabin space and a more commanding road presence. While specific design details remain under wraps, it’s anticipated to feature modern styling cues aligned with Maruti’s current design language.
Maruti plans to offer multiple powertrain options for the Y17, including:
- Strong Hybrid: Likely utilizing the 1.5L strong hybrid powertrain from the Grand Vitara, providing improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions.
- CNG Variant: Catering to the growing demand for alternative fuel options, a CNG variant is expected to be part of the lineup.
This multi-powertrain strategy aims to appeal to a broader customer base, offering choices that align with varying preferences and needs.
Manufacturing and Sales Targets
Production of the new SUV will take place at Maruti Suzuki’s upcoming Kharkhoda facility in Haryana. The company has set an ambitious sales target of 2 lakh units for FY2026, with 1 lakh units allocated for the domestic market and the remaining 1 lakh for exports and OEM supply channels.
Expected Pricing
The new SUV is anticipated to be priced competitively, overlapping with the Grand Vitara’s current range of ₹11.42 lakh to ₹20.68 lakh (ex-showroom). Considering the inclusion of a strong hybrid powertrain, the Y17’s pricing is expected to start around ₹11 lakh for the base variant and go up to ₹20 lakh for the top-end variant.
