In a surprising and exciting move, Maruti Suzuki has launched its first-ever luxury bus, priced at just ₹5.99 lakh (ex-showroom). Known for its dominance in small cars and MPVs, Maruti is now entering the commercial people-mover space with a feature-rich, fuel-efficient, and affordable solution that could reshape rural and semi-urban transport in India.
Premium Styling with Maruti’s Signature Practicality
The new Maruti luxury bus takes inspiration from the design language of the Ertiga and Tour M, but with extended body proportions and a more muscular stance. It features a bold front grille, large swept-back headlamps, a tall roofline, and wide sliding doors for easy entry. The overall aesthetic blends functionality with a smart, upmarket look that’s rare in this price segment.
Spacious Cabin with Flexible Seating Layout
Inside, the bus offers multiple seating configurations ranging from 9 to 17 seats, depending on the variant. Maruti has focused on passenger comfort with wide cushioned seats, dual-tone interiors, rear AC vents, bottle holders, and overhead luggage space. The wide cabin, high ceiling, and easy step-in height make it ideal for schools, travel agencies, and fleet operators.
Fuel-Efficient Engine with Great Mileage
Under the hood, the luxury bus uses Maruti’s trusted 1.5L K-Series petrol engine (also available with a CNG option) tuned for high mileage and load-carrying efficiency. In petrol mode, the bus offers a mileage of up to 18 kmpl, while the CNG variant is expected to deliver over 26 km/kg, making it one of the most economical in its class.
Safety and Utility Features
Safety hasn’t been ignored either. The bus includes dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors, speed alert system, and seat belt reminders as standard. Higher variants may include a reverse camera, infotainment touchscreen, and GPS tracking features for commercial use.
Price in India and Target Buyers
Priced from just ₹5.99 lakh, the Maruti luxury bus targets small transport businesses, schools, shuttle services, and large families needing a reliable, fuel-efficient people mover. With Maruti’s service network and low maintenance costs, this new offering is expected to see strong demand in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
Conclusion: The new Maruti luxury bus brings a rare mix of affordability, mileage, and comfort to India’s passenger vehicle segment. With a starting price under ₹6 lakh and excellent efficiency, it’s an ideal choice for transport entrepreneurs and institutions looking for a value-packed, spacious ride.
