Once launched in India, the 7-seater Maruti Suzuki is expected to compete with the likes of the most-dominating SUVs in the Indian market like Hyundai Creta, MG Hector, Kia Seltos, Tata Harrier and more. The brand is also expected to unveil an electric SUV in the coming months by the name Futuro-E though there has been no official confirmation received on the same.
