If you’re looking for a small, stylish, electric car? Here’s some great news for you. India’s largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, is set to showcase its impressive range of electric vehicles at the 2026 Auto Expo. The company has already confirmed its e-Vitara electric SUV, but it’s also being speculated that Maruti Suzuki may also unveil its new and exciting Hustler EV at this event. Let’s take a look at the highlights of the Hustler EV.
What’s special about the Maruti Hustler EV?
Maruti Suzuki has decided to launch a powerful electric vehicle in the near future. The company has also shared information about this with the media. Maruti Suzuki announced earlier this year that it would launch six new electric vehicles in the Indian market by 2030. In a sneak peek at these six EVs, one car’s silhouette resembled the Hustler. This car is known for its compact and SUV-like design, making it perfect for urban commutes.
Design and Size
The Maruti Suzuki Hustler, sold in Japan, is a ‘kei car’ known for its compactness and attractive SUV-like design. The current-generation Hustler is slightly larger than the MG Comet EV and has four doors. This design makes it not only stylish but also practical, especially for those who prefer a small and easy-to-park vehicle.
Engine Modification for EV
Maruti Suzuki may make several significant changes to this powerful car. The Japanese model features a 658cc petrol engine, but with the global market in mind, Suzuki may offer it with a fully electric powertrain. This move would make the company a strong contender in the Indian electric market.
Potential Features and Specifications
Suzuki has not yet revealed the specifications of the Hustler EV, but it is expected that its powertrain could be taken from the Wagon-R EV prototype. It could have a small battery that provides sufficient range for daily urban commutes. Features could include a touchscreen infotainment system, digital displays, and connectivity features, making it a great choice for modern customers.
