Whether you’re a car enthusiast or planning your next purchase, here’s everything you need to know about these anticipated releases.
Maruti Suzuki e Vitara
Maruti Suzuki is entering the electric vehicle segment with the much-awaited e Vitara, set to launch in March 2025. Showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025, this compact electric SUV is built on the Heartect-e EV platform, shared with Toyota’s Urban Cruiser EV. The e Vitara will offer two battery options: a 49 kWh pack delivering 143 hp and a 61 kWh pack producing 173 hp, both with 192.5 Nm of torque. Maruti claims a range of up to 500 km (MIDC-tested) for the larger battery variant.
The e Vitara boasts a premium design with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and a full-width LED light bar at the rear. Inside, expect a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.1-inch digital driver’s display, wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, and Level-2 ADAS features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. Priced between ₹20 lakh and ₹30 lakh (ex-showroom), it will compete with the MG ZS EV, Tata Curvv EV, and Mahindra BE 6.
Toyota Urban Cruiser EV
Toyota is also jumping into the EV race with the Toyota Urban Cruiser EV, a rebadged version of the Maruti e Vitara, expected to launch shortly after its Maruti counterpart in 2025. Sharing the same Heartect-e platform and battery options (49 kWh and 61 kWh), it offers similar performance and range. However, Toyota has tweaked the exterior design to align with its brand identity, featuring a distinct front grille and bumper.
The cabin will mirror the e Vitara’s premium setup, including a large touchscreen, digital cluster, and advanced safety features like a 360-degree camera and seven airbags. Expected to be priced slightly higher than the e Vitara, in the ₹22 lakh to ₹27 lakh range, the Urban Cruiser EV will target eco-conscious buyers looking for Toyota’s renowned reliability in an electric package.
Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara 7-Seater
Maruti Suzuki is expanding its SUV lineup with a 7-seater version of the Grand Vitara, spied testing in India and expected to launch by November 2025. This three-row SUV will compete with the Hyundai Alcazar, Tata Safari, and Mahindra XUV700. The design draws inspiration from the e Vitara, with updated headlights, taillights, and a longer rear section to accommodate the third row.
The Grand Vitara 7-seater is likely to retain the 1.5-liter mild-hybrid and strong-hybrid petrol engines from its 5-seater sibling, alongside a CNG option. Features will include a 9-inch touchscreen, panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, and dedicated AC vents for third-row passengers. Priced between ₹20 lakh and ₹25 lakh (ex-showroom), this SUV aims to offer practicality and efficiency for large families.
Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder 7-Seater
Following Maruti’s lead, Toyota is expected to launch a 7-seater version of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder in 2025, based on the Grand Vitara 7-seater. While sharing the same platform and powertrain options (1.5-liter mild-hybrid and strong-hybrid petrol engines), it will feature Toyota-specific styling tweaks, such as a bolder grille and unique alloy wheels.
The feature list will be similar to the Grand Vitara 7-seater, including a 360-degree camera, six airbags, and a premium infotainment system. Expected to be priced slightly higher, in the ₹22 lakh to ₹27 lakh range, this model will appeal to buyers seeking Toyota’s build quality in a spacious SUV. Its launch will strengthen the Maruti-Toyota partnership, which already includes shared models like the Baleno/Glanza and Ertiga/Rumion.
Maruti Suzuki Brezza 2025 Facelift
The Maruti Suzuki Brezza, a bestseller in the sub-4m SUV segment, is due for a facelift in 2025 to keep up with rivals like the Skoda Kylaq and Kia Syros. Last updated in 2022, the 2025 Brezza will feature refreshed exterior styling, including new headlights, a revised grille, and updated taillights. The interior is expected to get a larger touchscreen, a fully digital driver’s display, and additional features like a single-pane sunroof and wireless charging.
The Brezza will continue with its 1.5-liter petrol engine (103 hp) and CNG option (88 hp), paired with manual or automatic transmissions. Priced between ₹8.5 lakh and ₹14 lakh (ex-showroom), the facelifted Brezza aims to maintain its dominance in the competitive subcompact SUV market.
Maruti Suzuki Baleno 2025 Facelift
The Maruti Suzuki Baleno, a popular premium hatchback, is slated for a facelift in March 2025. This update will bring subtle design changes, such as a revised front grille and new alloy wheels, along with an upgraded interior. Rumors suggest Maruti may introduce a hybrid powertrain, combining a 1.2-liter petrol engine with an electric motor for improved fuel efficiency. Expected features include a 10-inch touchscreen, six airbags as standard, a wireless phone charger, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Priced between ₹6.8 lakh and ₹10 lakh (ex-showroom), the Baleno 2025 will compete with the Hyundai i20 and Tata Altroz, offering a blend of style and affordability.
Toyota Fortuner MHEV
Toyota is set to update its flagship SUV, the Fortuner, with a mild-hybrid variant in 2025. Already available in select global markets, the Fortuner MHEV pairs the familiar 2.8-liter diesel engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce emissions. Expect cosmetic updates like a revised grille, slimmer headlights, and new alloy wheels.
The interior will feature a larger touchscreen, upgraded safety features like adaptive cruise control, and lane-keep assist. Priced between ₹40 lakh and ₹50 lakh (ex-showroom), the Fortuner MHEV will continue to dominate the full-size SUV segment, rivaling the MG Gloster and Jeep Meridian.
