| ![]() Mod Note: Our Maruti S-Presso Review has been taken live at this link. Please continue the discussion over on the new thread. Thanks! Thanks to BHPian phamilyman for sending these images in. Heartfelt gratitude for sharing them with other enthusiasts via this Team-BHP page! Maruti Suzuki's upcoming micro-SUV has been caught testing in Gurgaon. The car, which is likely to be based on the Concept Future-S is rumoured to replace the Alto. ![]() The spy images suggest that the micro-SUV is likely to borrow styling cues from the Concept Future-S. It appears to have a high stance with wraparound headlamps and rectangular tail lamp clusters. The car has short front and rear overhangs and a raked rear windshield. The new model is likely to be based on the WagonR's Heartect-A platform. ![]() Given its positioning in the market, the new micro-SUV could be offered with a 1.0-litre petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and an optional AMT. It is expected to get all the mandatory safety features such as ABS, driver side airbag, rear parking sensors, seatbelt reminder and an audible high-speed warning as standard. Maruti Suzuki's Concept Future-S based car is expected to compete with the Renault Kwid in the Indian market. Link to Team-BHP News Last edited by Aditya : 20th February 2020 at 09:17.

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Cant understand why is this being termed as an SUV? Its just another hatchback with a higher ground clearance and it will be competing with the Renault Kwid which is an entry level hatchback. With the new stringent safety norms coming up, it might take the place of an Alto. Last edited by suhaas307 : 7th September 2019 at 09:22. Reason: Spacing |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Looks to be the same car as in the Next-gen-Alto spotting thread https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/india...ml#post4559527 (New Maruti caught testing! Is this the next-gen Alto?) |

| ![]() Blanking out 'HR 26' from number plates. ![]() What a failed and illegal attempt at hiding the MS brand. |

| ![]() One can almost render how this car will look like using his own imagination because Maruti doesn't really have much of it. Looks like a beefed up Alto with cladding. In other words, utterly drab. |

| ![]() From whatever could be made out from the masked vehicle, it looks like, Maruti is trying to do a "micro-Brezza" to this thingy. Like the KWID which was dubbed as a mini-DUSTER. I hope Maruti gets the "wheel track - to - overall vehicle height" ratio correct as this plays a large part in the styling stakes and a favourable one - a la KWID - makes even a small car, sitting on a compact wheelbase, look well proportioned and stylish - otherwise it will look like a "cigarette packet - on - wheels" Let's wait and watch. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The vehicle is heavily disguised. They have added a lot of padding on multiple panels including the A pillar so that the true shape is not revealed. Even the tail lights are fake. Good to see that the A pillars are raked and not like the concept car which had a retro look. |

| ![]() Looks to me more like a redesigned Suzuki Hustler. I see a lot of them in Japan with a re-badged Mazda version as well. This car won the best design award over here. My belief is Suzuki will never use the Alto name to a tallish boy Car. So, a new model launch is coming up. ![]() ![]() Last edited by aah78 : 2nd October 2019 at 18:00.

Indians have never liked instrument consoles mounted in the center of the dashboard. I'll be surprised if Maruti adopts this for a high volume product. Last edited by GTO : 18th March 2019 at 10:02. | |

Only reason could be Suzuki planning exports to LHD markets. Stand alone, I don't think it's a cost saving measure. Last edited by suhaas307 : 7th September 2019 at 09:25. Reason: Spacing | |
