The upcoming Maruti Escudo SUV, based on the Grand Vitara, will be a midsize 5-seater vehicle named 'Maruti Escudo'.
The Maruti Escudo will feature a hybrid powertrain with options of a 1.5L petrol engine and a strong hybrid setup paired with an e-CVT gearbox.
It is expected to be larger than the Brezza SUV and slightly longer than the Grand Vitara, with a boot space that might exceed the Grand Vitara's 373-litre capacity.
The Maruti Escudo will be sold exclusively through Arena dealerships, positioned between the Brezza and Grand Vitara in Maruti Suzuki's SUV lineup for an India launch in 2025 Diwali season.
While the exact pricing is not confirmed, it is anticipated that the Maruti Escudo will likely be priced similar to the Grand Vitara, with the entry-level variant expected around Rs 10 – 11 lakh and the hybrid variant around Rs 20 lakh.
