Maruti Gypsy (render)
If Maruti were to consider an outright SUV
to sit between the Vitara Brezza and the S-Cross, they could consider a
replacement of the tough-as-teeth Maruti Gypsy, which has so far found a bulk
of its customers from central and state governments.
To give an idea of what a next gen Maruti Gypsy would look like,
IAB’s Shoeb R Kalania has created an imaginative rendering. If Maruti were to
consider such a product, it will rival the Mahindra TUV300 and Bolero Power+,
appealing to customers looking for a true blue SUV.
The Gypsy recently lost an Indian Army contract to the Tata Safari
Storme, reportedly, as they were looking for a safer product and has more power
from an engine that runs on diesel, the cheaper and more readily available
fuel. The Gypsy is powered by a 1.3L 4-cyl petrol engine with 80 hp and 103 Nm
of torque.
