Before this update, the carmaker has plans to launch the LWB Jimny in 2022. Talking about the new-gen Maruti S-Cross, the upcoming model of the crossover will derive power from a 1.4-litre Boosterjet 4-pot gasoline mill and a 1.5-litre K15B four-cylinder NA petrol motor with a mild hybrid system. The 1.4-litre engine is currently offered with the Swift Sport and is also likely to propel the Jimny LWB. The 1.5-litre unit offered with the ongoing Maruti S-Cross shreds 103 PS of peak power and 138 Nm of peak torque. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed MT or a 4-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Instead of the 4-speed torque converter, the new-gen Suzuki S-Cross could get a 6-speed AT. The 1.4-litre Boosterjet engine develops power and torque outputs of 127bhp and 235 Nm.

The same engine will also power the upcoming 5-door Suzuki Jimny in the European markets. Moreover, Suzuki has also planned to launch the new-gen Swift. The outgoing model of the hatchback was launched back in 2016. One can expect the carmaker to introduce the new-gen model of the hatchback by 2023. The all-new Maruti Swift is expected to be offered with a stronger hybrid system. The standard trim of the hatchback will be retailed with a 1.2-litre K-Series DualJet petrol motor, which also powers the ongoing Maruti Dzire.
