These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <strong>103hp 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine<\/strong>, with both a 5-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An <strong>88hp CNG variant<\/strong> for cost-conscious buyers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>116hp petrol-electric hybrid<\/strong>, likely the most fuel-efficient in the lineup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An <strong>AWD option<\/strong> will be available with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autocarindia.com\/car-news\/maruti-new-hyundai-creta-rival-to-get-petrol-cng-hybrid-options-436535\">petrol-automatic variant<\/a>, while the rest will come with FWD configurations. This mirrors the setup of the Grand Vitara and Toyota Hyryder, with which this new compact SUV shares its underpinnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arena Showrooms to Lead the Charge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maruti has decided to retail this SUV via its <strong>Arena showrooms<\/strong>, which number over <strong>3,000 across India<\/strong>, compared to just <strong>600 Nexa outlets<\/strong>. This strategy allows the brand to reach a significantly larger customer base and cater to a more value-driven audience. In positioning, this SUV will sit <strong>below the Grand Vitara<\/strong>, similar to how the <strong>Ertiga (Arena)<\/strong> is positioned under the <strong>XL6 (Nexa)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This move gives Arena dealers a much-needed premium product to headline their portfolio, following hits like the Ertiga and Brezza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Competitive Edge and Future Exports<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Maruti aims to attract buyers looking for a high-value alternative in the midsize SUV space. With competitors like the refreshed <strong>Volkswagen Taigun<\/strong> and upcoming <strong>Skoda Kushaq facelift<\/strong>, this car&#8217;s pricing and feature set will be key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the SUV will be <strong>exported to global markets<\/strong>, and a <strong>Toyota-badged version<\/strong> is expected to follow later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new compact SUV marks a strategic play for dominance in India\u2019s hottest auto segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carlelo.com\/news\/maruti-victoris-suv-launch-details-estimated-price-and-engine-options\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maruti Suzuki is set to unveil its latest midsize SUV, internally codenamed Y17, on September 3.
