Maruti Suzuki cars in India (18)

Maruti Suzuki has led India's passenger-car market since the Maruti 800 launched in 1983, sold today through its separate Arena and Nexa retail channels. As of August 2026, Maruti Suzuki's India line-up spans 18 models, with ex-showroom prices running from the S-Presso at Rs 3.50 lakh to the seven-seat Invicto at Rs 28.61 lakh, giving the brand the widest price spread of any manufacturer in the market.
 

Body styles and segments
 

  • Compact hatchbacks: Alto K10, S-Presso, Wagon R and Celerio, built around affordability and city-friendly dimensions

  • Premium hatchbacks and sedan: Swift, Baleno and Dzire, adding better interiors and features over the entry range

  • SUVs and crossovers: Brezza, Fronx, Grand Vitara and Victoris, the fastest-growing part of the line-up

  • MPVs: Ertiga, XL6 and the flagship Invicto, built for families and fleet use where space matters more than styling

  • Electric: the e Vitara, currently Maruti Suzuki's only EV, with a claimed range of 440-543km depending on variant
     

Engine and powertrain line-up
 

Maruti Suzuki's own engineering strength has always been engine breadth rather than a single flagship unit. The table below sets out what powers each segment.

Engine family

Displacement

Found in

K-series naturally aspirated petrol

1.0-litre

Alto K10, S-Presso, Wagon R, Celerio

Z-series petrol (NA and turbo)

Grand Vitara, Victoris

2.0-litre

Invicto

Single-motor electric

48.8-61.1kWh battery

e Vitara

Factory-fitted CNG is available across more of this range than any other Indian brand, a real advantage for buyers prioritising running costs. Diesel does not currently feature anywhere in Maruti Suzuki's own line-up.
 

Transmission choices
 

  • Manual: standard across most of the range, the cheapest and most fuel-efficient option

  • AMT (Maruti's AGS): the affordable automatic on hatchbacks and the Dzire, suited to city driving

  • Torque-converter automatic: fitted to SUVs and MPVs including the Brezza, Ertiga and XL6, for smoother low-speed driving

  • e-CVT: exclusive to the strong-hybrid models, tuned for efficiency over outright response
     

Safety and ownership
 

Safety credentials are a newer story for Maruti Suzuki than for some rivals. The latest-generation Dzire and Victoris are currently the models Autocar India rates as the safest in the range, both carrying a full five-star rating, and this is worth weighing against the brand's other strengths. Those strengths remain real: Autocar India's own review of the 2026 Brezza facelift rated its new turbo-petrol engine a genuine improvement while flagging the car's continuing efficiency edge over rivals, and ownership feedback through Ask Autocar Anything consistently favours Maruti Suzuki for lower running costs, easy parts availability and India's widest service network.
 

Who should buy a Maruti Suzuki

Buyer type

Where to look

Why

Budget / first-time buyer

Alto K10, S-Presso

The two most affordable models in the range, both easy to maintain

Mileage buyer

Swift, Celerio, Dzire

Efficient petrol engines with factory CNG on all three

Family / MPV buyer

Ertiga, XL6, Invicto

Genuine three-row space across three budgets

Safety-conscious buyer

Dzire, Victoris

The two models currently rated safest in the range

Off-road / lifestyle buyer

Jimny

The only Maruti Suzuki with proper 4x4 hardware

EV-curious buyer

e Vitara

The brand's sole electric model to date

This range suits the performance-focused buyer least. Maruti Suzuki's own engineering priority remains efficiency, reliability and low running costs rather than outright pace, so buyers chasing power or driving excitement are better served elsewhere.

Trending Questions on Maruti Suzuki Cars - Answered by Autocar Experts

•5h

I’m a working professional looking for a comfortable car with ample legroom, with a budget of Rs 8-12 lakh. My daily commute is around 55km, with occasional long trips with family. Should I consider an EV, petrol or diesel, and which segment would best suit my requirements? I’m looking for a decent-looking car with a little bit of performance and a softer suspension setup. My existing car is a Chevrolet Cruze, so I would also like something that feels comfortable and sufficiently powerful compared with my current car.

•8h

I want to buy an automatic car under Rs 14 lakh on-road in Bangalore. My daily running is around 25km, mostly in city traffic. I have shortlisted two options: the Mahindra XUV 3XO AX5 Petrol Automatic and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXI AT. However, both have their pros and cons, which is making it difficult for me to decide. I see a lot of XUV 3XOs on Bangalore roads, and it seems to offer better value for money, with a strong engine, good performance, modern features and attractive discounts. However, I also feel the Brezza, despite its basic interiors and average engine performance, may make more sense as a long-term choice, although it currently has a 2-4 month waiting period. Could you please help me decide which one would be the better choice for my requirements?

•6h

I am looking to buy a new car for my parents with a budget of Rs 9.5 lakh. It should be petrol-powered, offer good fuel efficiency of over 17kpl, and have decent safety and reliability. The biggest constraint is parking space, so the car must be under 4,225mm in length and 1,745mm in width.

•13h

I’m looking for a spacious, comfortable 5-seater that I can keep for 8-10 years. My priorities include excellent fuel efficiency, low maintenance, reliable ownership, good safety, comfort, strong resale value and essential features only. I’m happy to skip gimmicky features. My monthly running will be around 600-1,000 km that includes daily office commute and one long trip every 1-2 months. I’m confused between petrol, diesel, CNG and hybrids, especially considering the E20/E30 discussion going on. My budget is Rs. 8-15 lakh on-road, with Rs. 12 lakh being the sweet spot. I’m also open to spending less if a lower-priced car offers the right combination of mileage, safety and space. Based on my usage, budget and priorities, which car, variant, engine and fuel type would you recommend? Also, when would be the best time to buy it?

•2d

I would like to buy a new car especially SUV in the budget of around 16 lakh. I am travelling around 1200 km monthly. Which is suitable for me between electric or petrol automatic car? My preferences are Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi Petrol Automatic, Tata Nexon EV Creative 45 electric and Hyundai Venue HX6 AND HX5. Which will be better for me? I am giving more importance to fuel efficiency, low cost maintenance and safety.

I took a test drive of the 9s and it ticked all the boxes in terms of performance and premium appeal. It felt spacious in both rows and was practical with a spacious frunk. I felt like I was driving a big car for the money spent. I have finally booked a 9s pack 3.

I suggest stretching your budget and going for the Dzire CNG. Ground clearance is not a problem with the Dzire.

Heat problem affecting in front cabin because of the engine is under the front left side seat..you cannot drive this vehicle without a/c comfortly..no eeco model comes with power steering is also a demerit.the main demerit of this vehicle is the suspension system is old and basic which is utterly irritating..in local roads..no centre lock,no power window..reduces the rating..
