Maruti Suzuki will unveil a new concept SUV called
Maruti Future S at Auto Expo 2018. The concept is confirmed to evolve into a
production model.
The concept has a tough
SUV-like design with a steep A-pillar, windshield, muscular haunches and a high
beltline. The teaser image hints sleek headlamps and tail lamps as well. Maruti
Suzuki says that the Maruti Future S concept has a high seating position, a
high ground clearance and a horizontal hood which give it an aggressive stance
and posture.
The Maruti
Future S concept is over 200 mm shorter than the Maruti Vitara Brezza. This means that the concept will likely evolve into the Renault Kwid
rivaling model codenamed Maruti Y1K. The production version will ride on the
lightweight and rigid Heartect platform. Maruti Suzuki will likely offer it
with an electrified K-series 1.2-litre petrol engine and the in-house developed
1.5-litre diesel engine.
The Maruti Future S concept’s production version
could go on sale towards the end of 2018 or in early 2019. It will slot below
the Maruti Vitara Brezza.
