    Our cover story this month has made one thing quite clear - the hybrid is the new mileage king. That said, I’m not going to spend time singing praises of the Victoris’ stellar fuel efficiency. Instead, I want to talk about something related - something that briefly dips into the realm of geopolitics, particularly the ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran.</p>

<p>Now, I’ll admit I don’t fully understand how this conflict will play out. But given the epicentre of the dispute, one thing seems almost certain - fuel prices could skyrocket in the coming days, and every internal combustion engine car owner is bracing themselves for it. However, if you drive a hybrid, you’ll probably be impacted the least. Let me explain.</p>

<p>To give you some perspective, I filled the Victoris to the brim nearly two weeks ago, and the fuel gauge is still hovering around the halfway mark - despite covering nearly 400km, most of it within the city. As you’ll read in the cover feature, the Victoris hybrid returned an impressive 23.4km/l in chock-a-bloc city traffic. In comparison, the diesel Creta managed 14.2km/l, while an equivalent turbo-petrol would likely return around 11–12km/l under the same driving conditions. So, in simple terms, driving a hybrid reduces your fuel consumption by half, meaning fewer visits to the pump for the same driving distance. Not to mention, you also save quite a lot of money in the process.</p>

<p>This raises an interesting question - why haven’t our policymakers thought of this till now? Why isn’t there a stronger push for hybrids to reduce our reliance on oil? And more importantly, why aren’t more carmakers bringing hybrid technology to market? Has the rush to go fully electric landed us in a bit of a soup? It certainly feels that way - and I, for one, can’t quite wrap my head around it, especially considering the current situation with oil.

Maruti Suzuki Victoris Long Term Report: Month 4 - Oil for Thought

In a world where fuel prices can change overnight, the Maruti Suzuki Victoris hybrid demonstrates how cutting consumption can make everyday driving far cheaper.

<p>Far from a mere numbers game, Maruti Suzuki’s inauguration of the 200th Nexa Studio outlet is a step toward targeting India’s emerging markets beyond tier-2 cities. Launched in August 2024, the Nexa Studio format isn’t just a compact showroom - it’s a decentralised premium ecosystem. Designed for semi-urban and growing markets, these outlets integrate sales, service, and spares under one roof, creating a genuine one-stop shop for all customer needs. To date, Nexa Studios has driven sales of over 42,000 units. Partho Banerjee, Senior Executive Officer, Marketing &amp; Sales, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, detailed the company’s premium retail strategy for the country.</p><p> For years, premium automotive experiences were an urban privilege – marble floors, mood lighting, curated lounges, and tailored customer consultations were confined to metro cities. This narrative changed with the launch of Nexa in 2015, a design-led, experience-driven retail channel.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/Mr.-Partho-Banerjee,-Senior-Executive-Officer,-Marketing-&amp;-Sales,-Maruti-Suzuki,-at-the-inauguration-the-200th-NEXA-Studio-outlet-1773748449652.webp" alt="Mr.-Partho-Banerjee,-Senior-Executive-Officer,-Marketing-&amp;-Sales,-Maruti-Suzuki,-at-the-inauguration-the-200th-NEXA-Studio-outlet.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Now, with 200 Nexa Studios operational alongside over 740 Nexa outlets across more than 530 cities, the strategy has evolved further. A clear consumer shift drives this expansion: aspirational buyers in non-metro regions are no longer willing to travel to larger cities for a differentiated buying experience. Furthermore, rising incomes and digital exposure have helped increase awareness even among tier-3 and rural car buyers.</p><p> Another aspect shaping this strategy is the changing profile of buyers in emerging markets. Many customers in these regions are first-time car owners who are moving up from two-wheelers. For them, the purchase experience itself is an important part of the upgrade.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/NEXA-Studio_-Single-car-display-area-1773748458489.webp" alt="NEXA-Studio_-Single-car-display-area.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>A well-designed showroom, transparent consultations, and structured after-sales support can significantly influence brand perception. Dealer partners play a key role in this ecosystem. Maruti Suzuki has traditionally relied on strong dealer networks to extend its reach across the country, and the Nexa Studio format provides them with a scalable retail model suited to smaller markets. It allows partners to operate premium outlets with relatively efficient space and investment requirements while maintaining the brand’s experience-centric identity.</p><p> In FY 2024-25, Nexa accounted for nearly 30% of Maruti Suzuki’s domestic sales, retailing over 5.4 lakh vehicles. That’s not niche performance - it’s structural relevance. Notably, Maruti says that almost 50% of its total sales come from rural areas, which also account for 50% of the company’s SUV sales. Emerging markets also account for approximately 10% of India’s total EV sales, further underscoring their growing importance to the automotive industry.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/Maruti_Suzuki_e_Vitara_Nexa_Charger-1773644430753.webp" alt="Maruti_Suzuki_e_Vitara_Nexa_Charger.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p> Maruti Suzuki’s approach to electrification within the Nexa ecosystem also reflects a pragmatic strategy. Rather than creating a separate retail channel exclusively for electric vehicles, the company is integrating EV readiness into its existing Nexa network. Most Nexa outlets, including the newer Nexa Studios, are already equipped with EV fast-charging infrastructure, while around 95% of Nexa Studios also offer full servicing facilities. This integrated model allows customers to access sales, charging, and after-sales support within the same ecosystem, eliminating the need for a separate EV retail experience. Maruti aims to scale Nexa Studios to 600-700 outlets by FY 2030-31 - a move that signals the manufacturer’s unwavering long-term commitment to emerging markets in India. It’s a calibrated retail transformation designed for deeper market penetration.</p><p> Maruti Suzuki also reviews production allocation every month to ensure waiting periods across models remain under control. For the e Vitara, the company plans to manufacture around 2,000 units per month for the domestic market until July 2026, after which production volumes could be scaled up depending on demand. The growing appeal of the Nexa channel is also reflected in customer trends, with the number of first-time buyers at Nexa dealerships increasing by around 10%.</p><p>

      </div>
    </p><p> In an industry obsessed with product launches and powertrain innovations, Maruti Suzuki’s Nexa Studio strategy is a reminder that sometimes the real disruption is not in what you sell, but in how you sell it.</p>

Nexa Studio - Premium Goes Beyond the Metros

With 200 Nexa Studios now operational, Maruti Suzuki is scaling its premium retail strategy across emerging markets and fast-growing smaller cities.

<p>Sponsored: All-Wheel Drive isn’t just for snow, slush, or serious off-roading.</p><p>With the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, it’s about something far more relevant - dealing with the kind of roads we actually drive on every day. From broken hill roads to sudden downpours, loose gravel to unpredictable highway conditions, this is where AWD begins to make sense.</p><p>The Victoris AllGrip Select system has four drive modes that adapt to changing surfaces without demanding your attention.

Sponsored: All-Wheel Drive isn’t just for snow, slush, or serious off-roading. With the Maruti Suzuki Victoris, it’s about something far more relevant - dealing with the kind of roads we actually drive on every day.

<p>
    Let’s be honest, almost every EV conversation in India eventually boils down to the same question – ‘But can I trust it?’ The Maruti Suzuki e VITARA answers that question with clarity and conviction. It doesn’t try to dazzle you with unnecessary theatrics; instead, it leans on something far more reassuring, like solid engineering and everyday usability. This isn’t just about chasing range figures or loading up on gadgets; it is about building an electric SUV that feels dependable from the very moment you press the start button, and that changes everything.</p>

<h2>Maruti Suzuki e VITARA Platform, Battery Options, and Range</h2>

<p>The e VITARA isn’t just a conventional SUV retrofitted with batteries – it has been built as an EV from the ground up. This means a dedicated flat-floor platform designed to house large battery packs cleanly and efficiently, without any awkward bulges or structural compromises. With a body made of over 60% high-tensile steel to improve rigidity and safety, it feels properly engineered rather than merely adapted.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/Maruti_Suzuki_e_Vitara_Battery-1773644910121.webp" alt="Maruti_Suzuki_e_Vitara_Battery.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>You get two battery options – a 61kWh pack offering a claimed range of 543km, and a 49kWh unit delivering 440km. In the real world, that translates to fewer charging stops and more spontaneous plans. Even the aerodynamics have been carefully considered, with a flat underbody to assist airflow and a smart grille with adaptive shutters that open only when the battery needs cooling. It still looks like an SUV; it just moves through the air much more intelligently.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/Maruti_Suzuki_e_Vitara_Aerodynamics-1773644670005.webp" alt="Maruti_Suzuki_e_Vitara_Aerodynamics.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Then there are the validation tests, which move far beyond marketing claims. The battery has cleared the nail penetration test and has even undergone fire testing inside a furnace without igniting. It has also been subjected to rigorous water and compression tests. These are not headline-grabbing gimmicks; they are practical, rigorous measures designed to ensure one thing - complete peace of mind.</p>









<h2>Maruti Suzuki e VITARA Safety Features and Bharat NCAP Rating</h2>

<p>Beyond the battery, the car itself has secured a 5-star rating under Bharat NCAP norms, and it comes equipped with seven airbags and a high-tensile steel structure engineered with efficient load paths to manage crash forces intelligently.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/Maruti-Suzuki-e-Vitara-Bharat-NCAP-Crash-Test-(1)-1764690720090.webp" alt="Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Bharat NCAP Crash Test (1).jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Even the Level 2 ADAS has been tuned specifically for Indian conditions. With features like a 360-degree camera, tyre pressure monitoring, and brake hold for traffic crawls, the experience feels modern, practical, and remarkably easy to live with.</p>

<h2>Maruti Suzuki e VITARA Charging Network and ‘e for Me’ App</h2>

<p>For many buyers, charging infrastructure remains the biggest concern, and understandably so. Maruti Suzuki has addressed this by leveraging its vast network. There are already over 2,000 chargers installed exclusively at Maruti Suzuki outlets across the country – and the number will increase even further – with both NEXA and ARENA channels contributing to this footprint.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/Maruti_Suzuki_e_Vitara_Nexa_Charger-1773644430753.webp" alt="Maruti_Suzuki_e_Vitara_Nexa_Charger.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Through the ‘e for Me’ app, users can also access 13 major charging point operators, with access to over 14,000 charging points, including Maruti Suzuki’s charging network. This means access to chargers in the city, on the highways, and even in smaller towns. The app simplifies the whole process, allowing you to locate chargers, plan routes, navigate, make payments seamlessly, and even use tap-and-charge functionality via the ‘e for Me’ card. The entire process is designed to feel integrated into your daily routine – not like a separate project to manage.</p>







<h2>Maruti Suzuki e VITARA Range and Real-World Driving Confidence</h2>

<p>India loves road trips – early-morning highway runs, late-night tea breaks, and spontaneous detours that happen when someone spots a better scenic route. But with many EVs, that sense of spontaneity often gives way to careful planning. The e VITARA aims to change that equation.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2026/03/Maruti-Suzuki-e-Vitara-Front-Three-Quarter-1773402137338.webp" alt="Maruti Suzuki e Vitara-Front-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>With the higher variant offering more than 500 kilometres of range and a growing charging network backed by Maruti Suzuki’s extensive presence, there is no need to constantly check the battery percentage.</p>





<p>It offers an excellent combination of thoughtful engineering, proven safety, meaningful range, and practical charging support in one cohesive package. In doing so, it moves the EV conversation from ‘Will this work?’ to ‘Where shall we go next?’ – and that’s when electric mobility begins to feel truly effortless.

Maruti Suzuki Victoris Hybrid vs Hyundai Creta Diesel vs MG Windsor EV - Which is the New Mileage King?

For decades, diesel has been the undisputed mileage king. But with hybrids and EVs gaining ground, a 700km real-world test asks if its reign is finally over.

<p>A test mule  of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid&nbsp;has been spotted testing on Indian roads without any camouflage.&nbsp;It has LiDAR sensors on the roof,&nbsp;which are commonly used for mapping and calibrating&nbsp;advanced driver assistance systems. Though Maruti Suzuki hasn’t officially confirmed, the presence of the equipment indicates that&nbsp;the all-new Fronx may come with Level 2 ADAS,&nbsp;with functions such as automatic high beam,&nbsp;adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist,&nbsp;and autonomous emergency braking.</p><p>Continuously rising fuel prices are one of the key reasons why buyers are increasingly turning&nbsp;towards more efficient alternatives such as hybrids. As hybrid powertrains steadily gain mainstream acceptance, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki</a> appears to be expanding its hybrid lineup in India,&nbsp;which already includes models like the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/grand-vitara/">Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara</a> and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/invicto/">Maruti Suzuki Invicto</a>.

Maruti Suzuki Brezza Marks 10th Anniversary in India 

Maruti Suzuki India has announced that the Brezza compact SUV has completed ten years in the country. Currently in its second-generation, the compact SUV is priced from Rs 8.26 lakh (ex-showroom). 

<p>Maruti Suzuki has increased real-world testing&nbsp;of the Brezza facelift, and the repeated sightings&nbsp;indicate that the updated sub-4m SUV could hit the showroom soon.&nbsp;The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/brezza/">Brezza</a>, launched in 2022, is now in its second generation and has seen updates such as a CNG variant and six airbags as standard; however, a complete makeover is long-awaited. With the launch of the new Brezza on the horizon, here are all the key changes we can expect.</p><h2><strong>Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift: Exterior</strong></h2><p>The Brezza facelift is expected to retain its rugged look, with no major overhaul to its overall styling. However, the updated&nbsp;model may feature sharper detailing, revised bumpers, redesigned headlamps and taillamps,&nbsp;alongside new colour options. On the sides, you can expect a set of newly designed alloy wheels&nbsp;to round off the small yet noticeable cosmetic changes.</p><h2><strong>Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift: Interior </strong></h2><p>The upcoming Brezza is likely to feature a redesigned dashboard and new upholstery. It could also get a 10.1-inch touchscreen and a fully digital instrument cluster, replacing the current 9-inch&nbsp; screen and semi-digital display. Other features, such as ventilated and powered seats and ambient lighting, may also be included. </p><h2><strong>Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift: Engine</strong></h2><p>The current Brezza engine lineup includes a 1.5-litre petrol and a 1.5-litre petrol-CNG. However, speculations suggest that the upcoming facelift could feature a new turbocharged petrol option. This engine is expected to be a 1.2-litre unit, likely derived from the Z12E&nbsp;engine used in the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/swift/">Swift</a> and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/dzire/">Dzire</a>.</p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/maruti-suzuki-e-vitara-vs-mg-windsor-specs-features-and-engine-compared-122969/">Maruti Suzuki e Vitara vs MG Windsor: Specs, Features and Engine Compared</a></p><p>According to the spy shots, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/">Maruti Suzuki </a>may introduce&nbsp;a 6-speed manual transmission, which could be offered only with the turbocharged engine. Similar to the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/victoris/">Victoris</a>, Maruti Suzuki might&nbsp;position the CNG tank under the Brezza’s body, making room for more boot.</p><h2><strong>Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift: Expected Price</strong></h2><p>The upcoming <a href="https://www.autox.com/suv-cars-in-india/">SUV</a> is expected to start at around Rs 8 lakh (ex-showroom). It will compete against the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/sonet/">Kia Sonet</a>, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/skoda/kylaq/">Skoda Kylaq,</a> the<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/maruti-suzuki/fronx/"> Maruti Suzuki Fronx</a>,&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/syros/">Kia Syros</a>, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/nissan/magnite/">Nissan Magnite</a>, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/mahindra/xuv-3xo/">Mahindra XUV 3XO</a>, the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/tata/nexon/">Tata Nexon</a>, and the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/hyundai/venue/">Hyundai Venue.</a></p>
