Maruti Suzuki will reveal their flagship 3-row family SUV on July 5, 2023. The new images confirm that Maruti will rebadge the Toyota Innova Hycross and likely call it the Engage. Read on to know more details about the 2023 Maruti Suzuki Engage.

2023 Maruti Suzuki Engage Spotted Undisguised

The fresh set of spy shots reveal the exterior design changes made by Maruti Suzuki to the Toyota Innova Hycross. Up front, the Maruti Suzuki Engage comes with a different grille, featuring a thick chrome bar in the middle and chrome surrounds on the edges. Furthermore, the images also reveal slightly tweaked LED headlights and reprofiled front bumper. The alloy wheels of the Engage also look similar to those of the Hycross.

Maruti Suzuki Engage 3-Row SUV Expected Powertrain Details

Since the upcoming Engage 3-row SUV from Maruti Suzuki will be sourced from Toyota, it is likely to carry the same engine and transmission options as the Toyota Innova Hycross. However, we believe that Maruti Suzuki may introduce the hybrid powertrains to the Engage a little bit later after its launch and only bring the 2.0L normal petrol at launch. Align with this, the Engage may also bring the option of a manual transmission with this engine to keep the starting prices more affordable. This powertrain option will also help the Engage better compete with cars like the Tata Safari, MG Hector Plus, Mahindra XUV700 and Scorpio N, which offer a manual transmission. The availability of a manual transmission suggests that there’s demand for a manual transmission in the D-segment SUV space and it could also help Maruti Suzuki better compete with these established rivals.

Here are the specifications of the Toyota Innova Hycross:

MARUTI SUZUKI ENGAGE EXPECTED ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS
Engine	2.0L
Cylinder	4
Displacement	1987cc
Power	174PS @ 6600rpm
Torque	205Nm @ 4500 - 4900rpm
