Maruti Suzuki Hustler: A Strong Contender in the Compact SUV Market

One name synonymous with affordable, reliable cars in India is Maruti Suzuki, all set to launch its latest offering: the Hustler.

Here’s how this micro SUV promises to be a game-changer-it’s going to take on some of its rivals, the likes of the Tata Punch, leaving some of them to feel a lot of heat.

Under the skin, the Hustler will come mated to a 660cc three-cylinder turbocharged petrol mill.

This powertrain should deliver an enjoyable punch at a miserly fuel economy.

The mileage figure of about 40 kilometres per liter has also been quoted in terms of the Hustler.

Features and Design

Maruti will quite naturally heap a good number of features in the Hustler for it to be an attractive proposition for the youth.

Expect an instrument cluster, rear parking sensors, power windows, ABS, smartphone connectivity, and dual airbags to be standard.

The SUV would come in sunroof and non-sunroof forms as well. The leaked images convey that the design for this car is very bold and youthful.

Yellow, orange, black, and white are some of the colors that this car would come in.

Launch and Price

The car’s launch date is not publicly stated, though industry insiders suggest that the Maruti Suzuki Hustler is going to hit Indian showrooms by the end of 2024.

The price, on the other hand, is expected to be between Rs. 6.99 lakhs and Rs. 10.49 lakhs.
