Cutting down the production of its passenger cars by 16 per cent in October 2023 and increasing that of the utility vehicles by 33 per cent as compared to October 2023 as per the regulatory filing by the company, Maruti Suzuki’s key developments include the new Dzire compact sedan reaching dealerships across India. 
While the new eSUV – the eVitara that is based on a Toyota platform called as 27PL skateboard platform (e-TNGA) – is subject to a lot of discussion currently, the new Dzire is set to revolutionise the segment with its progressive design, segment first features and unparalleled value proposition, according to the Indo-Japanese automaker. 
Building on the remarkable legacy of the Dzire brand, this new generation model represents a significant leap forward in Maruti Suzuki's commitment to offer exceptional vehicles to the Indian market. Following hot on the heels of the fourth-generation Swift hatchback, the Dzire shares the platform with it though in terms of proportions, dimensions and design it is different. 
Available in the shape of a compact hatchback, the Dzire could be booked with an initial payment of INR 11,000 at any Maruti Suzuki dealership. 
Witnessing a 33.18 percent rise in multi-purpose vehicles such as the Ertiga and XL6 and of SUVs such as the Brezza, Fronx, Grand Vitara and Jimny (almost all of these are shared with Toyota Kirloskar Motor products in India) at 72,339 units as compared to 54,316 units during the corresponding period in the last fiscal, Maruti Suzuki is quite upbeat about the eVitara as it marks the first BEV of the automaker ever. 
The vehicle has e-axles that have been integrated with the motor and inverter as a single unit, according to industry sources. The (60kWh) batteries are of the lithium-iron-phosphate type and the platform, engineered to provide quick acceleration and overtaking abilities. 
With production expected to begin in mid-2025, the eVitara will have a sibling that will flaunt a Toyota badge – much like the Grand Vitara and the Toyota Hyryder. 
The eVitara, claim industry sources, will be produced at Maruti Suzuki’s youngest and most modern facility in Gujarat. The eSUV is expected to offer a range of 500 km on a single charge when it is formally launched in 2025. 
To be launched on 11 November 2024, the new Dzire is expected to be priced in the range of INR 700,000 and INR 11,00,000 ex-showroom.
