Maruti Suzuki is set to enter the midsize SUV market with the launch of the Escudo, aimed at rivals like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos. Positioned between the Brezza and Grand Vitara, it will be retailed through Arena dealerships. The Escudo is expected to feature a 1.5-litre petrol mild-hybrid engine and offer spacious interiors, possibly with a three-row option.
