Maruti Suzuki will launch the new generation Vitara SUV in India in October 2022. The new SUV is likely to go on sale in the Indian market before replacing the global model later on. The new-gen Vitara SUV will share its powertrain and underpinnings with the Toyota Hyryder hybrid SUV.

Under the alliance between Toyota and Suzuki, Toyota Bharat will manufacture the new Vitara SUV at their plant in Bidadi, Karnataka. The upcoming Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder SUV will share a lot in common with the new Vitara SUV. Unlike the Vitara Brezza, the new Vitara SUV will go on sale globally as well and replace the current-gen Vitara in the European market.

Maruti Suzuki are also testing the new Vitara SUV across various landscapes of the country. Both the Toyota Hyryder and Maruti Vitara were spied in Gurgaon recently. Based on the spy shots, we can confirm that the new Vitara SUV will offer a split LED headlight design and a vertical grille up front.

As the Suzuki Vitara will also go on sale in global markets, we can also expect it to offer 4-wheel-drive. While we are yet to know whether the mild-hybrid or the strong-hybrid engine will get the 4-wheel-drive option, we place our bets on the latter. Speaking of the powertrain, the new Vitara is likely to get a mid-hybrid drivetrain and a strong hybrid drivetrain. The latter will also likely offer a battery-only driving range along with the class-leading fuel efficiency.
