In 2023, Maruti Suzuki introduced several captivating vehicles in the Indian market. Among these were the Fronx crossover, built on the Baleno platform, the highly anticipated Jimny SUV, and the premium MPV called Invicto, which draws inspiration from the Toyota Innova Hycross. The company has been actively striving to secure a significant portion of the rapidly expanding Indian utility vehicle market.

During the February 2023 Auto Expo, Maruti Suzuki unveiled the eVX electric SUV concept, providing a glimpse of their upcoming all-electric SUV. Suzuki then presented an enhanced version of the concept at the Japan Mobility Show later in the year. The production version of the eVX is anticipated to be revealed in 2024. Additionally, Maruti Suzuki is set to introduce the next generation Swift in 2024, with the model having been unveiled a few months prior at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show.

Anticipated to hit the Indian market in 2024, Maruti Suzuki is set to introduce the latest iteration of the Swift hatchback.
