Front grille design of Maruti's version of Innova Hycross leaked

We've seen a variation of this grille design on the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara and Fronx.

Maruti Suzuki plans to introduce an MPV based on the Innova Hycross in India. Like most rebadged models in its line-up, the Innova-based MPV will get minor cosmetic changes to differentiate it from Toyota's version. One such change is the front grille.

Now, the front grille design of the upcoming Innova-based Maruti MPV has leaked online. As per the patent image, the MPV will adopt a familiar Nexa design. The trapezoidal grille has a double chrome bar with the Suzuki logo in the centre. Another chrome element surrounds the lower portion of the grille, while the mesh appears to have a glossy surface.

We've seen a variation of this grille design on the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara. A similar design has also been adopted for the Fronx crossover.

Reports also suggest that Maruti's upcoming 7-seater MPV could be called 'Engage'. These rumours are based on recent trademark filings and there hasn't been any official word from Maruti yet.

Maruti's new 7-seater MPV will share its powertrains with the Innova Hycross. The 2.0-litre petrol hybrid makes 183 BHP and 206 Nm and is mated to an e-CVT.
