New Delhi - Recent online reports and social media buzz have suggested the launch of a "Maruti Mini Range Rover" at a price of ₹12 lakh with a mileage of 22 kmpl. However, there has been no official confirmation from Maruti Suzuki regarding the launch of a vehicle with this name.
The moniker "Mini Range Rover" appears to be a name used by various online publications and social media channels to describe upcoming or recently launched compact SUVs from Maruti Suzuki that may share some design similarities with the luxury SUV brand.
Several sources suggest that the vehicle being referred to could be a new compact SUV from Maruti. These reports speculate on a price range between ₹8 lakh and ₹13 lakh (ex-showroom) and a mileage of over 20 kmpl for the manual variant.[1] Some reports even mention a starting price as low as ₹6 lakh.[2][3] It is anticipated that this new model will be available in various trims, similar to Maruti's existing lineup.[3]
The design of this rumored vehicle is described as having a boxy silhouette, a floating roofline, and other details that are reminiscent of the Range Rover's styling.[1][2] Inside, it is expected to feature a modern cabin with a floating touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, and connected car technology.[1]
While there is no official "Mini Range Rover," Maruti Suzuki has recently expanded its SUV portfolio. For instance, the Maruti Suzuki Friend, a sub-compact SUV, offers a claimed mileage of up to 22.89 kmpl for its 1.2-litre petrol engine with AMT.[4] The Fox's engine options include a 1.0-litre turbo petrol and a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine.[4]
Another model, the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, is a larger SUV that marks the company's move towards more premium offerings and includes hybrid technology.[5]
It is important for consumers to rely on official announcements from Maruti Suzuki for accurate information regarding new model launches, specifications, and pricing.
