Recently, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) showcased its Futuro-e Concept at Auto Expo 2020. The futuristic SUV concept took us by surprise as since now, it was being speculated that this branding would be used to preview a Wagon R-based EV. However, what we instead have is a very stylish design study that gives us a sneak peek into a section of the company's future portfolio.
Maruti took the wraps off the Futuro-e Concept at the Auto Expo 2020.
Designed in-house by Maruti Suzuki, the new SUV concept opens a new chapter in the company's design theme. Therefore, it also helps us imagine what a future Kia Seltos and Hyundai Creta-sized model from the country's largest-selling carmaker would look like. For the uninitiated, the Futuro-e is four-seater electric-powered coupe-SUV that will allow the front passenger to use a swivel feature for the seat to face the rear occupants. In fact, even the driver benefits from this feature as the concept supports autonomous driving technology.
