Maruti Suzuki Engage MPV – All about Maruti Suzuki Engage MPV ✓ Specification ✓ Exterior ✓ Interior ✓ Mileage ✓ Color ✓ Features ✓ Price ✓ Comparison
Country’s largest automaker Maruti Suzuki has trademarked the Engage nameplate in India. A leaked patent document has been revealed. The carmaker had applied for the trademark in March 2023, and the official website shows the status of the trademark as “passed formality”. However, there is no official confirmation on which model will get the name. But reports suggest that the Maruti Suzuki Engage name could be used for the upcoming premium MPV or 7-seater SUV. The new Maruti MPV will apparently be a rebadged version of the Toyota Innova Hycross, and the new 7-seater SUV will be based on the Grand Vitara.
HIGHLIGHTS:-
- Maruti Suzuki Engage MPV will get a 2.0-litre petrol hybrid engine
- This upcoming MPV may launch in July 2023
- Will share the underpinnings with the Toyota Innova Hycross
Look & Design
The new premium MPV from Maruti Suzuki will be available for sale by July 2023. Maruti Engage will be the new flagship model of the Indo-Japanese carmaker in the country. The design and styling of the new Maruti MPV could be slightly different from the Toyota Innova Highcross. The model will feature the brand’s signature grille (likely similar to the Grand Vitara) as well as redesigned headlamps, taillamps and front bumper. Like the Innova Hycross, the new Maruti Engage will be based on the monocoque TNGA-C platform with FWD (front-wheel drive) system.
Maruti Suzuki Engage MPV: Features
The new Maruti MPV may get a different interior theme, while the feature list will be similar to the Innova Highcross. This means that it will be the first model from the Indo-Japanese automaker to offer Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). It will also get features like 360 degree camera, second row seats with ottoman function, a new 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, dual pane panoramic sunroof.
Engine & Power
The new Maruti Suzuki Engage MPV will be made available with and without the 2.0-litre petrol engine and hybrid technology. Both the powertrains have been sourced from the Toyota Innova Highcross. The 2.0-litre Strong Hybrid version generates 186PS of max power and 206Nm of torque. It can be had with E-CVT gearbox. The 2.0-litre petrol motor generates 174PS of max power and 205Nm of torque. The engine could get a CVT automatic transmission. The strong hybrid variant is capable of a claimed fuel economy of over 21 kmpl and Maruti Suzuki will more likely look to bank heavily on that.
