Overview
- Clearer photos show a camouflaged Maruti prototype with a tall, boxy shape and three-row proportions, revealing the front, rear, sides and a glimpse of the cabin.
- Reporters link the mule to the YMC, a seven-seat electric MPV, citing EV-style details such as a closed grille and the absence of a visible exhaust.
- A rear left fuel-filler door seen in the images keeps other readings in play, including a facelifted Grand Vitara or a plug-in hybrid test car.
- Coverage says the YMC would reuse the eVitara’s Heartect-e/27PL EV architecture with possible Toyota co-development and Gujarat production, though none of this is confirmed by Maruti.
- Outlets suggest a late-2026 or early-2027 launch window, which would put the model up against three-row EV rivals like MG’s Windsor and Kia’s Carens Clavis, if the YMC reading proves correct.
