Maruti’s Creta and Seltos rival spotted testing with heavy camouflage
Maruti Suzuki is going product offensive starting this year and one of the most anticipated products is the Creta rival that has just been spotted alongside its Toyota version.
The mid-size SUV test mules look similar in terms of shape and size but notice the different styling on these prototypes. Maruti Suzuki is developing the new SUV with Toyota and they have deployed both the versions together for testing.
The upcoming SUV is codenamed as YFG and is expected to hit the market by the festive season this year in Q3 2022. It will be based on an all-new platform from Suzuki and will be manufactured in Toyota’s plant. However, the components of the car will be supplied by Maruti Suzuki.
The mid-size SUV is expected to come with a 1.5-litre hybrid petrol engine. While the petrol engine will come from Maruti, the electric motor and the hybrid system will be developed by Toyota.
In order to compete aggressively with the Hyundai and Kia siblings, the Japanese duo need to load the car with a lot of features.
