Maruti Suzuki YMC spied in clearer video; Baleno, Brezza facelifts also visible

In a rare sighting of three new upcoming products, Maruti Suzuki's upcoming MPV, codenamed YMC, has been spotted testing again alongside its siblings, the Baleno and Brezza. The three cars have been seen in a video recently uploaded on social media. The three vehicles are heavily camouflaged to prevent revealing details. Among the three, the YMC stands out as it is expected to become Maruti Suzuki’s first all-electric MPV.

The electric MPV category has started gaining momentum in India as manufacturers look beyond compact EVs and SUVs. BYD entered the space earlier with the eMax7, while Mahindra expanded its EV portfolio with the XEV 9S. New players such as VinFast are also preparing products for the segment, including the VF-MPV and the Limo Green aimed at fleet buyers.

Premium offerings like the Kia EV9, Tesla Model Y L and MG M9 have further increased visibility for larger electric family vehicles, even though sales volumes remain limited for now. Maruti’s upcoming YMC is expected to target this developing market with a more accessible pricing strategy.

What the test vehicle reveals

Even with the hidden styling details, the YMC appears to follow a practical MPV shape with a long roofline and upright stance. Spy shots suggest the vehicle gets squared wheel arches, aero-style wheels and conventional pull-type door handles. The side glass area appears large, indicating a focus on cabin space.

At the rear, the prototype features a flat tailgate, rear wiper and a thick bumper design. Up front, some styling cues appear inspired by the eVitara, especially around the bumper and grille layout.

Expected features and powertrain

The YMC is expected to share several components with the eVitara EV. Reports indicate it could use 48.8 kWh and 61.1 kWh LFP battery packs, with the larger unit potentially delivering a claimed range of over 500 km. Unlike the front-wheel-drive eVitara, the MPV may adopt a rear-wheel-drive setup better suited for carrying additional passengers and luggage.

Expected features include dual digital displays, automatic climate control, reclining seats, wireless charging and a panoramic sunroof. The safety package could include Level 2 ADAS functions such as adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking, along with 7 airbags, ESP and parking sensors. The YMC is expected to be priced between ₹17 lakh and ₹25 lakh for the Indian market.
