Re: Rumour: Maruti Suzuki's Creta-rivalling SUV coming in 2020

If its indeed RAV4, Toyota and Maruti have a winner on their hands. Globally the car is high in demand with months of waiting period. The car is well sorted, with good interior bits. If this clicks in India, it will be worrisome for the competition as Maruti and Toyota are two of the most trusted brands with loyal fan following.

Re: Rumour: Maruti Suzuki's Creta-rivalling SUV coming in 2020

What all Maruti Crossovers are in development?
-Baleno Cross: A Coupe-SUV
-Next Gen Vitara Brezza
-Next Gen SCross (YFG)
-Creta Rival (D22)
-Jimny (If it ever launches)

Isn't it a bit too much for 8Lakh to 15 Lakh Segment?

Also, they have an MPV in development to sit below the Innova.

Looks like exciting times are ahead for Maruti Customers, especially those looking to upgrade from the ageing Ciaz and SCross.

Re: Rumour: Maruti Suzuki's Creta-rivalling SUV coming in 2020

Are these the Mid-SUV's from Toyota and Maruti or are they testing multiple SUV's ?

How do you think Maruti is going to keep that 50% market share if not all this? Interestingly, this is how Maruti is functioning ever since the 80s! They stay silent for a couple of years and then suddenly disrupt the market and many rivals are left looking for shelter helplessly!

This time, they are going to attack the UV segment with multiple SUVs and MPVs. Heck they are even readying Ertiga and XL6 facelift for early 2022 with 6 airbags, sunroof and other modern tech.

The next three years (2022-2024) will be quite interesting for Maruti customers and not to forget, they will also be launching next gen Swift, Dzire, Baleno facelift, next gen Alto and also an all new hatchback (still in early stages)...... all before 2024!

Hence, yes the future is exciting for Maruti customers!

Let's hope they include safety in their agenda this time though!

Not really, They are going after multiple cars in multiple price bracket as such they need more products. Further knowing Toyota I think instead of calling it a Creta rival, its best to call it a Compass rival. I guess they are trying to complete their portfolio for the next decade in one go.

Maybe with different engine or drive-trains? Different spec for Toyota and Suzuki cars? Component testing?

Who knows its too early to tell

The pictures also look like the jeep 7 seater, but those are mostly spotted in Maharashtra. It’s a wait and watch game for now.

Re: Rumour: Maruti Suzuki's Creta-rivalling SUV coming in 2020

If Toyota is going to launch this by next year end, I would give the MG Astor a miss and wait for the same.

Looks to have good road presence.

Re: Rumour: Maruti Suzuki's Creta-rivalling SUV coming in 2020

This ICN article here says that it's Jeep Meridian, a 7 seater.
Any comments on this?

Going by the material of the camouflage, rear window cut-out and the numbers writing style, this looks to be the JEEP Meridian only.

Those alloys are for sure of Jeep Meridian. We are all so hopeful of a new Maruti / Toyota SUV, but they just surprise us with S-Cross

Looking at the kink in the tail lamps, it neither does look like the Jeep Meridian to nor the Toyota RAV4

Re: Rumour: Maruti Suzuki's Creta-rivalling SUV coming in 2020

Don't be fooled by Maruti again .Chances are ,it could be for international markets or sold by Toyota to some other countries or history repeats ( Face lifted S-Cross ). I will be keeping an keen eye over this thread.

Definitely Jeep test mules (Meridian).

The KA temp registration might appear like these are Toyota, but Jeep tests its Infotainment system at Siemens Bangalore (what i heard). Also the tail lamps looks like its definitely Jeep Meridian.

I am pretty sure it's the Jeep Meridian. The tail lights and the wheels are exactly the same.
