Maruti Suzuki cars in India (19)

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

K-series naturally aspirated petrol

Alto K10, S-Presso, Wagon R, Celerio

Z-series petrol (NA and turbo)

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

•1d

I'm planning to buy a new car with an on-road budget of up to Rs. 30 lakh in India. I want a car that offers excellent comfort, low running costs, and a relaxed driving experience for my daily commute. 1. My Driving Profile -Average monthly driving: 2,500 km -Driving conditions: 60% suburban roads and Highway and 40% city traffic -Long-distance trips: One or two trips per month -Current car: 2017 Maruti Suzuki Baleno, manual transmission 2. Comfort and Ergonomics I'm approximately 6 feet tall and currently experience fatigue and leg pain during my daily commute in my manual Baleno. My top priority is to find a car with: -An automatic transmission for easier driving, especially in traffic. -Excellent front-seat comfort and adequate legroom. -Good driving posture, lumbar support, and adjustable seating. -A comfortable suspension setup for daily commuting and long journeys. -Low cabin noise and minimal driver fatigue. 3. Running Costs and Powertrain -Low running costs and excellent overall energy efficiency are important. -I have charging facilities available at home, so I'm open to considering an electric vehicle (EV). -I'm also willing to consider petrol, diesel, or hybrid vehicles if they offer better overall value. -I want to compare energy or fuel costs, maintenance, insurance, and long-term ownership costs. 4. Family Requirements -The car will primarily be used for my daily commute. My family occasionally travels with me, so rear-seat comfort is also important. -I'm open to both 5-seater and 7-seater options, provided the car meets my comfort and cost requirements. 5. Budget and Ownership -Maximum on-road budget: Rs. 30 lakh -I want a reliable car that offers good value for money over long-term ownership. -I plan to use the car for several years, so durability, battery longevity (for EVs), resale value, and total cost of ownership matter. Please suggest a car.

I am planning to buy a subcompact SUV with an on-road budget of up to Rs. 15 lakh in the NCR. The options I am considering are the Skoda Kylaq, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Brezza and Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor. An automatic transmission is a necessity. I prefer a reliable car with good after-sales service, as I want to avoid frequent visits to service centres. Mileage is not a major concern, as my annual running will be less than 5,000 km. I am evaluating these options against the Skoda Kylaq Sportline, as I am concerned about the E20 fuel-related issues reported by other owners. Which car would you recommend for reliable and hassle-free ownership?

Hi Autocar, For naturally aspirated (NA) petrol manual cars, which models offer the best real-world mileage, especially for city driving in the NCR? Also, could you provide the price range of these cars?

I am planning to buy a Maruti Suzuki Brezza, and my budget is Rs. 10-12 lakh. I am confused between a turbocharged and a naturally aspirated (NA) engine. I plan to keep the car for 8-10 years. My driving will mainly be in Gurugram, with a trip to Himachal Pradesh once every two months. Kindly suggest the best variant for my needs.

•12h

Hi, I want to purchase an automatic car under 12 lakh as my first car. My monthly running will be under 500 km which includes 20% running in the city and 80% running on the highway. My priority will be comfort and durability with less maintenance. I want to keep it for 8-10 years. My height is 5'10" and I am thinking of going for Amaze CVT. Are there any other options under my budget?

Servicing and performance. Very poor in Mileage. Waste of money. It's very expensive to run this being as a middle class family. It's not suitable for anything.
