The concept XA Alpha showcases the unified R&D of Suzuki Motor Corp and Maruti Suzuki India.
Taking a cue from success of Mahindra and Renault sports utility vehicles, Maruti Suzuki plans to launch two compact SUVs.
French carmaker Renault is developing an even smaller sport utility vehicle Captur after the successful launch of the Duster in 2012.
Suzuki Motor Corporation's Indian subsidiary, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL), is going to play an increasingly important role in designing and developing global vehicles for the Japanese auto company in the coming years.
Both Ford Ecosport and Renault Duster were unveiled at the 2012 Auto Expo held in New Delhi in January.
The list includes compact SUV, mini SUV, premium hatchback and premium MPV.
MSIL would also focus more on bringing out models with auto gear shift technology.
The long awaited product is likely to be launched early next year.
Developed at an investment of Rs 620 crore (Rs 6.2 billion), the most on a car by Maruti Suzuki, the Ciaz will also be exported to West Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America.
It may not have a bold design but it addresses the needs for comfortable and affordable commuting.
2015 will witness exciting new car launches that will prompt you to buy at one of them.
