After a successful launch of the new Baleno and the Grand Vitara SUV in the Indian market, Maruti Suzuki will soon be launching as many as three new Nexa cars in India including the Jimny and Innova Hycross-based C-MPV.

1. Maruti Baleno-Based YTB Crossover

The YTB Crossover was first showcased at the Auto Expo 2020 and will make its debut early next year. It will share its underpinnings with the Baleno and will get similar powertrain options. The brand is however also expected to offer a 1.0L turbo petrol engine with higher variants.

The Jimny 5-door is one of the most talked about upcoming SUVs in the country and will challenge the rivals like the Mahindra Thar and the Force Gurkha in India. The Jimny 5-door will be sold through the Nexa dealership network and is likely to be priced from Rs 10-12 lakh (ex-showroom).
