Shock: Maruti, Hyundai, Nissan Laa Rahe Hain 4 Naye MPVs — Kya India Ready Hai?

SUVs chahe market mein chhaaye hue hain, lekin MPVs abhi bhi un families ke liye important choice hain jo comfortable rides aur road trips pasand karte hain. FY2025 mein MPVs ka share India ke car market mein lagbhag 10% tha, aur demand badh rahi hai jab zyada log long drives aur family travel kar rahe hain.

Maruti Suzuki — 4 Nayi Models Aa Sakti Hain

Maruti Suzuki already MPV segment mein Ertiga aur XL6 se present hai, aur agle do saalon mein company total chaar models tak expand karne wali hai.

Maruti YMC (Electric)

Maruti ek electric MPV pe kaam kar rahi hai jiska codename Maruti YMC hai. Ye model Kia Carens Clavis EV ko target karega aur company isko next September tak launch karne ka plan bana rahi hai.

Battery Options: 49 kWh aur 61 kWh LFP packs
Motors: 142 hp/192.5 Nm aur 172 hp/192.5 Nm variants
Top Variant ka Estimated Range: Lagbhag 475 km

Iska Toyota-badged corporate cousin bhi aayega, jo kuch mahine baad market mein aa sakta hai.

Sub-4 Metre Maruti MPV (Code: YDB)

Maruti ka ek aur plan long-term mein sub-4 metre MPV market mein utarna hai. Internal name Maruti YDB hai, aur ye 2027 mein launch ho sakta hai. Ye model Suzuki Solio par based hoga — jo Japan ka A-segment MPV hai, kei-car jaise proportions par thoda bada engine aur body deta hai.

Powertrain options mein company apna naya Z12E 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine offer kar sakti hai, aur ek series-hybrid system bhi plan mein hai jo isi engine par based hoga.

Hyundai — India-Focused MPV Wapas Plan Mein

Hyundai ka MPV plan kaafi time se chal raha hai. Company ne 2012 mein Hexa Space concept dikhaya tha aur 2015 mein confirm bhi kiya tha, lekin phir SUVs par focus shift ho gaya. Ab, Hyderabad mein first investor day event mein Hyundai ne phir se announce kiya hai ki wo MPV launch karega.

Ye naya MPV purane plans se alag hoga. Hyundai bol rahi hai ki ye latest comfort, connectivity aur safety standards ke saath aayega aur company ki latest design language follow karega.

Globally Hyundai ke paas teen MPVs hain: Stargazer, Custo/Custin, aur Staria. Inme se Stargazer India ke liye best fit lagta hai kyunki ye Ertiga ka natural rival hai aur Southeast Asia ke liye design kiya gaya tha. Lekin Stargazer teen saal purana ho chuka hai aur recently mid-life facelift le chuka hai.

Hyundai directly next-gen model India mein 2027 mein la sakti hai. Ye naya MPV same platform par ho sakta hai jo next-gen Creta ke liye use kiya jayega, jiska expected arrival February 2028 ke aaspaas hai.

Nissan — Triber Based MPV Se Phir Koshish

Nissan ka pehla MPV, Evalia, India mein zyada successful nahi raha. Ab company phir se ek choti segment MPV lane ki planning kar rahi hai, aur is baar strategy thodi different hai.

Nissan ek rebadged version of Renault Triber par kaam kar raha hai aur road testing shuru kar di hai. Company ne is MPV ki launch February 2026 ke liye schedule ki hui hai.

Bottom Line

MPV segment India mein abhi bhi relevant hai aur manufacturers family buyers aur road trip lovers ko dhyaan mein rakh kar naye options la rahe hain. Maruti ke paas sabse zyada models ka plan hai — including ek electric MPV aur ek sub-4 metre MPV — jabki Hyundai aur Nissan bhi apne hisaab se strong attempts kar rahe hain. Agle 1-3 saalon mein MPV market mein kaafi activity dekhne ko mil sakti hai.
