Maruti Suzuki Escudo Coming By Year-End: Here's All About Upcoming SUV
Maruti Suzuki is now planning to diversify its offerings in the Indian market. As per rumors, the upcoming Maruti Suzuki car is going to be called the Escudo, which is also available in the Japanese market. Reports suggest that it has been codenamed Y17 and aims to compete in the highly competitive mid-size SUV segment.
The Maruti Suzuki Escudo will likely be placed between the Brezza and the Grand Vitara in Maruti's lineup and will be available at Arena dealerships. While it was initially designed as a 7-seater, Maruti has decided to focus on a 5-seater version to better meet market demand and compete against the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos.
As per reports, the Escudo will be based on the brand's Global C platform, like the Grand Vitara. The platform consists of a longer wheelbase, giving more space to the cabin and the boot, along with several design tweaks on the profile.

Kwality Rice Sambar Powder: A rich and robust masala that brings depth and wholesomeness to rice-based meals, offering the full-bodied, slow-cooked taste of traditional family recipes. Both variants are proudly developed in the Kwality Recipe Lab, where culinary traditions meet innovation. Each spice blend reflects the brand's deep commitment to preserving the soul of Indian cooking while adapting to today's fast-paced lifestyles. Further adding to the flavour and credibility of this launch, Kwality Foods is thrilled to welcome celebrated Karnataka chef and television personality, Sihi Kahi Chandru, as its official brand ambassador.

Mr. Dheeraj Jain, Director, added, 'Indian cooking is deeply emotional and rooted in memories. With these two distinctive Sambar Masalas, our goal was to bring back the traditional flavours that remind you of your mother's or grandmother's kitchen. We're proud to offer a product that truly celebrates South Indian culinary heritage.' This launch further expands Kwality Foods' regional spice and instant mix portfolio, following the successful introduction of beloved products like Rava Idli Mix, Puliyogare Mix, Bisibelebath, Vangi Bath, Sambar Powder, and Rasam Powder.
