Maruti’s dominance in the segment: As we said, this will be the second compact SUV from the company. Earlier, the company launched its Vitara Brezza in 2016.

This SUV is one of the best selling cars in its segment.

Currently, no other information about this upcoming new compact SUV from Maruti could not be found. But experts believe that this new Baleno based SUV will be economical and the company will include all the better features according to the segment. The segment already has vehicles like Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet and Tata Nexon.
