Maruti Suzuki has done it again this time by blending premium SUV style with budget-friendly practicality. The automaker has just launched a compact SUV that’s already making waves, being dubbed by many as the “Mini Range Rover” of India. Priced at an incredibly affordable ₹6 lakh (ex-showroom), this new SUV combines bold aesthetics, top-tier mileage, and urban versatility like never before.
Luxury SUV Styling at a Budget Price
Inspired by high-end SUVs like the Range Rover, Maruti’s new compact SUV flaunts a boxy yet elegant design that oozes road presence. Highlights include:
- A bold grille with chrome accents
- Squared LED headlamps and sleek DRLs
- Blacked-out pillars and floating roof design
- Chunky alloy wheels and muscular wheel arches
- LED tail lights with a premium wraparound look
Despite being compact, the SUV’s upright stance, clamshell bonnet, and high ground clearance give it the imposing feel of a much more expensive vehicle.
Impressive Mileage That Maruti Is Known For
In typical Maruti fashion, fuel efficiency is a major selling point. The new SUV is expected to deliver an outstanding mileage of up to 24–26 kmpl, depending on the variant. This is made possible through the use of Maruti’s refined 1.2L DualJet petrol engine paired with the brand’s Smart Hybrid technology.
Transmission options include a 5-speed manual and a smooth AMT (Automatic Manual Transmission), making it suitable for both city drives and weekend getaways.
Feature-Packed Yet Affordable
Don’t let the budget price fool you this “Mini Range Rover” comes with a surprisingly rich feature list:
- 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system
- Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
- Cruise control
- Push-button start
- Rear camera with parking sensors
- Premium dual-tone interiors
- Automatic climate control (top variant)
Safety hasn’t been compromised either, with dual airbags, ABS with EBD, ESP, and hill-hold assist in higher variants.
Perfect for First-Time Buyers and Urban Families
This new offering from Maruti is targeted at young professionals, small families, and first-time SUV buyers who crave premium looks without paying a premium price. With its compact dimensions, it’s ideal for urban traffic yet still spacious enough for family road trips.
Launch and Availability
The SUV has already begun arriving at dealerships across India, with test drives open and bookings underway. Delivery timelines range from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the variant and location.
Conclusion: Style, Substance & Savings in One SUV
The new Mini Range Rover-style SUV from Maruti proves that you don’t have to spend big to drive something that looks premium, feels comfortable, and saves you money at the pump. At just ₹6 lakh, Maruti may have just redefined the entry-level SUV market once again.
