Maruti Suzuki Spacia: Maruti Suzuki is preparing to launch a new vehicle in the Indian market – which will be the Indian version of the Japanese Suzuki Spacia. This new vehicle promises big space, good features, and a low price.
Inspired by Japan’s kei cars
What are KE cars? The Suzuki Spacia is a famous “kei car” in Japan. Kei cars are small-sized vehicles which are built according to specific rules. Because of this, there is less tax on these vehicles.
Emphasis on space: Even though kei cars are small, they have a lot of space inside. Spacia is a great example of this.
What to expect from Maruti Spaceia
Size matters: For India, the size of the Maruti Spacia may be increased slightly, but it will remain under 4 meters to ensure less tax.
Boxy but modern design: The Maruti version may also keep the boxy shape of the Spacia but it will also have modern styling.
Individual seating: The specialty of Spacia is its seating capacity for 7 passengers. The Maruti version will probably also have this feature, and have good space in the second and third rows.
Features: Expect a touchscreen infotainment system, AC for all lines, and good luggage storage. For safety, double airbags, ABS, and rear parking sensors can be found.
Engine and Savings
Good mileage engine: Maruti Spacia may have a 1.2 liter K-Series petrol engine which is known to run more on less oil.
Transmission options: Manual and AMT (automated manual transmission) – both types of gearboxes are available.
There can also be CNG: There are a lot of CNG vehicles in India, so perhaps there will be a CNG version of Spacia also.
Who is this car for?
Large Families: This car would be perfect for families who want more space without the need for a larger car like the Ertiga.
Budget car seekers: Maruti’s prices are often good – so perhaps the Spacia will be a good fit for those who want a car with more space and features at a lower price.
City living: Its size is small, so it will be easy to drive in the city.
Launch and competition
When will it arrive: It is heard that Maruti Spacia may arrive in India by the end of 2026.
Main rivals: Maruti Spacia will directly compete with Renault Triber, which is already a 7-seater car available in India.
Features of Maruti Spacia
Maruti Spacia can bring a unique blend of small size, large space, and good value to the Indian market. Its success will depend on key features like price and space.
