Experiences fuelled by innovations, forward thinking, and a commitment to bring the very best to Indian roads. From the day the iconic Maruti 800 was launched in 1983, the company has been spearheading a revolution of change. Turning an entire country’s need for driving, into its love for driving.

However, tastes and demands keep on evolving with each new generation of Indians.

Infusing design and technology is one such step it has taken to make its cars meet new age expectations smoothly.
