Maruti Suzuki to bring new electric 7-seater MPV, will compete with these cars

According to an Aaj Tak report, the country's leading automobile company Maruti Suzuki is working on a new 7-seater car. This vehicle will be an electric MPV, which the company may introduce in the market next year. Currently, no official information has been provided by the company regarding this car. This is going to be the second electric car from this brand after the launch of the e-Vitara.

The upcoming 7-seater electric MPV may be unveiled by the brand at the Bharat Mobility Expo to be held in February 2027. This plan of the company was announced by Chief Investor Relations Officer Rahul Bharti during the earnings conference call for the second quarter of the financial year 2027. The company may showcase this vehicle to the world at this global exhibition to be held next year.

The codename of this car is being stated as Maruti YMC, which the company has been testing since the beginning of this year, i.e., from the summer. The brand's car has been spotted on the road many times so far. A horizontal strip has been used at the rear of this vehicle to connect the tail lights. There is also a possibility that this strip could be illuminated.

Apart from this, an LED high-mounted stop lamp will be seen in this vehicle, and a shark fin antenna can also be seen. Talking about the side profile of the vehicle, it will look quite boxy. Due to this design, the car will look more like an SUV than a regular MPV. In addition, squared-off wheel arches will also be made available in the vehicle.

Along with all these features, the appearance of the Maruti YMC will mostly resemble the Maruti Suzuki e-Vitara. 18-inch alloy wheels may be provided in this electric car. Both the side look and front look of the vehicle are very similar to the Maruti e-Vitara. This is the reason why this car provides an SUV-like look despite being an MPV.

Horizontal headlamps will be provided in this vehicle, which can be extended vertically. The nose section of this car will be covered with a body-colored surface. The company may launch this vehicle in the market in both 6-seater and 7-seater avatars. Talking about the 6-seater variant, the company may use captain seats in the second row.

This electric car may come to the market with two motor options. Both these versions will be provided with a single motor, which will provide power to the front wheels. The base variant of the vehicle will get a motor providing 105.8 kW of power and 193 Nm of torque. While the top variant of this car will be provided with a motor producing 128 kW of power and 193 Nm of torque.

Customers may also get the option of two batteries in this car. The top variant of this vehicle may come to the market with a claimed range of 525 kilometers. In the market, this car will directly compete with the Kia Carens Clavis EV. Apart from this, it will also compete in the market with the Mahindra XEV 9e and the recently launched MG Hector Tomahawk EV.
