Maruti Suzuki is gearing up to redefine its SUV lineup with the grand reveal of the all-new Maruti Escudo 2025 in India. Based on Suzuki’s global platform and developed in collaboration with Toyota, the Escudo is a powerful hybrid SUV that brings futuristic design, all-wheel drive (AWD) capability, and next-gen technology to the mid-size SUV segment — all expected under the ₹20 lakh price mark.
Sharp Design with a Global Appeal
The Maruti Escudo 2025 features a bold and modern exterior with a wide hexagonal grille, sleek split LED headlamps, sculpted body panels, and prominent wheel arches. The rear profile is equally striking with connected LED tail lamps and a floating roof design. Riding on 17-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, the Escudo carries a confident stance, ready for both city and off-road adventures.
Hybrid Powertrain with All-Wheel Drive
Under the hood, the Escudo is powered by a strong hybrid system combining a 1.5L petrol engine with an electric motor. This setup not only delivers excellent fuel economy but also instant torque and smoother acceleration. It comes with an advanced e-CVT automatic transmission and optional AllGrip all-wheel drive, making it versatile for varied terrains — from urban roads to hill climbs.
Feature-Rich Interior with Smart Cockpit
Inside, the Escudo boasts a spacious and premium cabin with dual-tone upholstery, soft-touch materials, and ambient lighting. It features a large 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a digital instrument cluster, heads-up display, and connected car features powered by Suzuki Connect. The rear seats offer ample legroom and a flat floor, making it family-friendly.
Safety First with 6 Airbags and ADAS
Maruti has equipped the Escudo 2025 with advanced safety technologies including six airbags, ABS with EBD, 360-degree camera, hill hold control, electronic stability program (ESP), and ADAS Level 2 features like lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and emergency braking assist — making it one of the safest Maruti SUVs ever.
Expected Price and Launch Timeline
The Maruti Escudo 2025 is expected to be priced between ₹17 lakh to ₹20 lakh (ex-showroom). It will be positioned above the Grand Vitara and may launch in India by late 2025. It is likely to be offered in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive configurations, with multiple trims and hybrid options.
Conclusion
With its global styling, strong hybrid engine, AWD capability, and tech-rich cabin, the Maruti Escudo 2025 is all set to become a game-changer in the premium SUV space. If you’re looking for a fuel-efficient, futuristic, and feature-loaded SUV under ₹20 lakh, the Escudo could be the bold new choice in 2025.
