Maruti Suzuki will launch multiple new compact cars in the year 2026-2027, including an affordable entry-level EV
Maruti Suzuki is the leading car manufacturer in the Indian market, and it dominates the sub-Rs. 10 lakh segment with a long list of affordable models. In order to further expand its portfolio, the homegrown carmaker is working on the development of multiple new compact cars, which are scheduled to go on sale in the year 2026-2027. Let’s look at the upcoming Maruti Suzuki compact cars in India.
1. Maruti Suzuki Fronx Flex Fuel
Suzuki showcased the Fronx FFV concept at the Japan Mobility Show 2025. The compact crossover is capable of running on E85 petrol, which has up to 85% ethanol content. For reference, the current Fronx sold in India is only E20-compliant. The Fronx FFV can run on E85 petrol, making it future-proof with regard to the increasing level of ethanol blending in petrol. While the powertrain details of the Fronx Flex Fuel are under wraps, several media reports have confirmed that it is expected to launch in the Indian market sometime in 2026.

The design patent for the eWX was filed in the country in the first half of 2024. Expected to be launched in the year 2026-2027, the electric hatchback will be the Japanese carmaker’s entry-level EV in India. While the details about the project are not available, the eWX-based EV is expected to come with a claimed range of around 250 kilometres on a single charge.
3. New-Gen Maruti Suzuki Baleno
The next-gen Baleno is currently under development and is expected to hit the market in late 2026 or early 2027. The premium hatchback has been on sale since 2015, while the second-gen model debuted in 2022. While the details are scarce at the moment, the next-gen Baleno will likely gain a new HEV series hybrid powertrain that could deliver fuel efficiency of over 30 kmpl. It will be one of the first models in the brand’s line-up to use the upcoming series hybrid system. Apart from this, we expect a new platform, updated design and extended feature set to be a part of the package.
