The MPV segment will witness a slew of activity over the next couple of years from automakers including Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai
The MPV space is heading into a new growth phase with multiple manufacturers preparing new models over the next couple of years. Carmakers including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Nissan and Citroen are developing people-movers across electric and ICE formats – targeting mass-market as well as more premium segments. Here we have brought you a rundown of all the possible arrivals:
1. Maruti Suzuki Compact MPV:
Maruti Suzuki is reportedly working on a new compact MPV that will be positioned below the Ertiga in the sub-four-metre category. Expected to arrive around 2027–28, the upcoming people-mover is said to draw inspiration from the JDM-spec Spacia in terms of design philosophy and space utilisation. The focus will be on maximising cabin room within a compact footprint while keeping costs in check. Under the hood, it is likely to feature a locally developed strong-hybrid petrol powertrain.
2. Hyundai Premium MPV:
Expected to sit at the premium end of the MPV space, the vehicle is widely believed to take inspiration from Hyundai’s globally sold Stargazer both in terms of design language and positioning. It will be interesting to see how Hyundai approaches the MPV as the category is dominated by a select few players currently in limited segments.
