Maruti Suzuki Escudo SUV India launch: Expected price, features, and top rivals
Maruti Suzuki Escudo: The Indian market is about to get a brand-new SUV from Maruti Suzuki called the Escudo. This new model will likely fit perfectly between the Brezza and the Grand Vitara in the brand's growing SUV lineup. Here is all the information you need about the Maruti Suzuki Escudo, such as when it is expected to come out, how much it will cost, what it will have, and how it will look. Filing for a trademark suggests the name Escudo Maruti Suzuki recently applied for a trademark for the name Escudo, which has led to rumours about its new SUV. The model that was seen during road testing looks like the Escudo, but this hasn't been officially confirmed yet. It will probably be available through Maruti's Arena dealership network, which makes it easier to get than Nexa-only models. Expected Design The Escudo takes a lot of design cues from the Grand Vitara, like its upright front grille, angular LED headlights, and modern bumper design with built-in LED fog lights. The SUV should also have: A bigger air intake New design for the bonnet Plate on the front of the skid LED tail lights that are connected Updated design for the tailgate and bumper It looks like the overall length is longer than the Grand Vitara, so it can fit both 5- and 7-seater layouts. Indian families looking for comfort and practicality might like the bigger cabin space. Choices of engines and how well they work Maruti Suzuki hasn't released the official specs yet, but the Escudo is expected to have the same engines as the Grand Vitara and Brezza. Powertrain options that are likely to be available are: 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with mild hybrid technology Strong-hybrid petrol model for better mileage The power output is expected to be about 101 hp and 139 Nm of torque. You might be able to choose between a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed torque converter automatic. What to Expect from the Escudo's Interior and Features The inside of the Maruti Suzuki Escudo will probably have a high-end but useful design that is similar to the Grand Vitara. Some important features might be: 9-inch touchscreen entertainment system No wires CarPlay for Apple and Android Heads-up display Partially digital instrument cluster Audio system tuned by Arkamys Sunroof that opens with electricity View from all sides of the camera Telematics for Suzuki Connect Climate control and six airbags These features point to the Escudo being a tech-savvy SUV that puts safety and fun first. When the Maruti Suzuki Escudo is likely to come out There hasn't been an official announcement from Maruti Suzuki, but reports say that the Escudo could come out in India during the upcoming holiday season. It could be shown off around Diwali 2025, which is when the brand usually releases new models when demand is highest. What the Maruti Suzuki Escudo Will Cost in India The Maruti Suzuki Escudo is likely to cost around Rs. 9 lakh at the lower end and Rs. 16 lakh at the higher end (ex-showroom). This competitive pricing puts it up against well-known C-segment SUVs like: The Hyundai Creta Seltos by Kia MG Astor Even though the Escudo is in the same segment, it might be a better deal because Maruti is a well-known brand, the engines are fuel-efficient, and the prices are reasonable.

On Camera, Gujarat Cop's Son Kills 2 With SUV During Race With Friend
Two people died and at least two others were injured after a speeding car driven by a policeman's son rammed into them in Gujarat's Bhavnagar earlier this week. According to officials, the accused, identified as Harshraj Singh Gohil (20), was racing with his friend on a fairly crowded street in the Kaliyabeed area around 4 pm. While he was driving Creta, his friend was driving a red Brezza car. The incident was captured on CCTV, which showed a speeding white Creta car hitting the two pedestrians and then ramming into a scooter. Harshraj - who is the son of Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) at the Local Crime Branch, Aniruddha Singh Vajubha Gohil - drove at a speed of 120 to 150 kilometers per hour. Within seconds, he lost control of the wheel, hitting the two people before skidding on the road and crashing into a two-wheeler. While the scooter's tyres burst immediately, two people riding it were injured. Many other vehicles were also damaged in the incident, officials said. The pedestrians, 30-year-old Bhargav Bhatt and 65-year-old Champaben Vachani, died on the spot. The injured people were rushed to the nearby Sir T Hospital. According to the police, one of the victims, Bhargav Bhatt, had gotten married last year and was reportedly on his way to work when the incident took place. He worked at the Madhu Silica company. Officials said that Harshraj was fond of driving and occasionally raced with his friends. The 20-year-old accused was taken into custody. His father, a policeman, immediately reached the spot, beat his son and handed him over to the Nilambag police station. The police have interrogated the accused but have not officially arrested him yet. Sources say he may be arrested around 6 pm today.

Biker Slaps And Kicks Car Driver, Then Barely Escapes Being Run Over
The matter escalated when the Brezza car driver slightly reversed his car and then moved forward to hit the biker. A video showing a violent fight between a motorcyclist and a car driver has gained widespread attention on social media. The clip, shared on X, captures a shocking moment of road rage that reportedly took place in Haryana. It unfolded in a narrow lane and has left social media users stunned. The clip shows a man about to ride away on his bike when a white Brezza car drives up and stops right next to him. The footage doesn't have audio but it shows the biker speaking to the person inside the car. What happens next quickly escalates. The Brezza then reverses slightly then suddenly moves forward to hit the biker. The impact tilts the bike and the biker struggles to get it upright. He soon steps off the bike and walks towards the car. The driver opens the door and steps out as well. At first, it seemed to be a heated argument. But things take an ugly turn as the biker pushes the car driver. Then he starts hitting him. He slaps him multiple times, throws punches, grabs him by the collar and pushes him hard enough to make him fall to the ground. Even while the car driver is on the ground, the biker does not stop. He continues to attack him. He kicks him and is visibly shouting, though no voice can be heard, his aggressive gestures make it clear. Onlookers are seen watching the entire scene unfold but no one steps in to stop it. After a while, the car driver manages to stand up and gets back into his vehicle. But instead of leaving, he drives forward again and this time, he aims at the biker. The biker manages to narrowly dodge the moving car. But his two-wheeler, still lying on the road, gets repeatedly hit by the Brezza as the driver smashes into it again and again before the clip cuts off. The video was shared with the caption, 'Road-Rage Kalesh b/w Brezza Car Driver and Bike guy over Car hits the bike, Haryana." The footage gained significant attention online and triggered a wide range of reactions in the comment section. One user remarked, 'What a turn of an event! Kalesh of the month." Another added, 'I didn't expect the climax," while someone pointed out, 'Road rage in India is very common. Everybody has fragile egos." 'If that Brezza guy can't fight, why the hell did he start one?" a person said. An individual remarked, 'A very normal day on Indian roads! 'Don't understand what kind of hurry these people are in, the car could've stopped for a min for the bike to move & it'd not have changed anything but the driver decided to show that he's mighty & right just to stroke his ego and got his a beaten in one-on-one combat," read another comment. Earlier, a similar case of road rage had surfaced from Bengaluru where a Swiggy delivery executive was attacked by three unidentified men at a traffic signal near Modi Hospital Junction late at night. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
