Maruti Suzuki Hustler Could Succeed Ignis: Here's Why You Should Be Excited

Maruti Suzuki is secretly testing multiple new products for the launch in the Indian market. Among these, a name that keeps popping up is the Hustler. This is a micro-SUV that is already on sale in international markets and has been spied testing in India several times. The name became even more prominent after reports surfaced claiming that the Indian manufacturer had ended the production of Ignis. In spirit, the Hustler can be a proper rival to the Punch and hence a successor to the Ignis. So, before any official announcement, here's all about the upcoming car.

Suzuki Hustler: Design

The Suzuki Hustler carries the brand's Kei car design DNA and all the special elements associated with it. To begin with, it comes with a small size and a tallboy design. The car has prominent C and D pillars, which give it a boxy silhouette for a small car. Additionally, it gets multiple crossover elements like roof rails, body cladding, and a flat bonnet, along with a flat front fascia. This is a design that reminds you of Jimny and might gain popularity among Indian consumers. All of it is complemented by the presence of well-designed alloy wheels and quirky yet subtle colour options.

Suzuki Hustler: Size

The quirky design of the SUV is based on a small wheelbase of 2,425 mm. Additionally, it gets a 3,395 mm in length and 1,475 mm in width, which is too small for the Indian mainstream audience. However, this makes it ideal for commuting in urban settings, and recently, the small size has been gaining traction among consumers.

Suzuki Hustler: Interior

On the inside, the Suzuki Hustler is a treat for the purists. It gets a very basic-looking cabin blended with modern aesthetics. At first glance, it seems to be divided into three basic parts: the instrument cluster, an infotainment screen, and a third section. Furthermore, the flexible seating allows the owner to use the space as needed. If needed, all the seats can be put down to make space for various objects. Various themes, including Khaki, Orange, and others, bring all of it together.

Suzuki Hustler: Engine

Talking of urban commute, efficiency takes priority. The car comes with Suzuki's 660 cc engine producing 48 hp of power in a naturally aspirated state. Meanwhile, the turbocharged engine puts out 64 hp of power. The units are paired with a CVT. However, the exciting part is that the car gets an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. With all of it, the car claims a mileage of up to 26.4 kmpl.

All in all, the Suzuki Hustler brings an interesting package with small size, flexibility, and the ability to operate on all kinds of terrains. It would be interesting to see what the car looks like in its avatar for the Indian market.
